§🌊 The Bitcoin Scenario from Another Perspective

§Several years have passed since I began observing in detail what happens in relation to Bitcoin — almost since I first heard about this form of money, a discovery that would change my perception of value, individual sovereignty, and the future of human relationships.

I remember clearly the first time I installed a node on one of my earliest computers, the one I used to practise and work on my activities and studies while obtaining a diploma as a “web & media publisher”, during the years 2008 and 2010, when the ecosystem was just beginning to germinate. It was a seed that few saw, but which already contained within itself all the potential of a new way of conceiving exchange, trust, and freedom.

The years passed and life led me towards other matters of significant income: the organisation of conscious projects, the management of real estate properties. All this, while keeping my eye on Bitcoin on a parallel plane — like someone observing the horizon, knowing that something important is approaching.

Naively, I was not aware at the time of what cartels really are in Mexico, of the vertiginous speed at which corruption unfolds, of how those silent conflicts advance like poisonous roots, and of the profound impact that all of this was generating even in my own life plans with a couple of properties in the Mexican Caribbean.

Following the grave discovery of corrupt manipulation and the falsification of my documents — a betrayal carried out behind my back between 2019 and 2021 in this part of the republic — the mobilisation of my concepts, plans, and focus took direction once more. But this time with greater precision, greater clarity, and more hope: towards the Bitcoin economy and towards other horizons where integrity is non-negotiable.

Thus, in addition to the nature and complexity — at least for me — of the acts that take place in a country like Mexico, I decided to delve deeper. Not merely as a spectator, but as an active and committed participant in the fundamental topics that constitute the existence and constant functioning of the Bitcoin economy:

• The blockchain, that incorruptible backbone
• Mining, the work that gives life to the system
• Nodes, the guardians of decentralised truth
• Layer one (on-chain), the immutable core
• Layer two (off-chain), scalability without betrayal
• Wallets accessible in the app-stores of most devices
• Cryptography, the language of digital freedom

All of this, lived and experienced first-hand, including events in historic forums like “Bitcointalk” and in the decentralised network Nostr — a protocol that for many represents the next step in the evolution of human communication without intermediaries.

However, all this technical knowledge is always linked to something deeper: the “sentimentum”, that invisible current that moves humanity. Violent acts and acts of peace, the unconscious and the conscious, form part of a complex fabric in which we develop and grow within these kinds of ecosystems.

Personally, I have observed that the Bitcoin ecosystem is full of actors — some genuine, others opportunistic, others simply lost. Meanwhile, the blockchain continues there, “running”, block after block, approximately every 10 minutes, indifferent to the noise, imperturbable before human emotions.

I have the slight but persistent impression that these entities — good actors, bad actors, their performances and their film — attempt to distract us, drive us away, and place us all in conflict within the healthiest and most decentralised monetary ecosystem in history, which is Bitcoin.

Regardless of those who live more confused about the Bitcoin ecosystem — whether consciously or through ignorance — such as the so-called “shitcoiners”, I consider it important to highlight, broadly speaking, what I understand by actors in the Bitcoin scenario.

To this end, I have broken down a simple “ocean” composed of different currents:

§🌊 The Seven Waves of the Bitcoin Ecosystem

1. The wave of bad actors (Bitcoin Core v.30) Those who, from positions of apparent authority, promote decisions that distance Bitcoin from its pure monetary essence.

2. The wave of good actors (Bitcoin Knots and BIP110) Those who defend the preservation of Bitcoin as a monetary system exclusively, eliminating noise and allowing convenient adjustments for the end user.

3. The wave of those who exercise information through speech Primarily on centralised social media such as YouTube, X, very likely Meta, and other platforms. They frequently promote even the theme of carnivory (suddenly they are the majority, even among nutritional instructors). The majority — if not all — heavily focused on currency comparison charts, speculating all the time, and debating how good or bad Artificial Intelligence is today, instead of focusing on building a true circular economy with Bitcoin.

4. The wave of commercial educators Those who, in addition to speaking, teach didactic courses primarily on centralised social media like YouTube and X. Personally, I find only some of the courses they offer useful. Most of the time they come accompanied by attempts to sell products from centralised platforms “disguised” as decentralisation, based on the increase of KYC, whose real objective is to subsidise their videos and documentaries. They also dedicate time to discussing how good or bad Artificial Intelligence is today. From my point of view, this generates more confusion among average people, the humble ones, those who perhaps truly need Bitcoin to survive serious economic or social catastrophes.

5. The wave of the more naive minds Those who, without sufficient tools to discern, allow themselves to be carried away mainly by any of the previous waves, floating without direction in a sea of contradictory information.

6. The wave of “observers” — active Where I perhaps find myself best positioned. We have practical, theoretical, social, and visual experience from other layers. We do not merely consume information, but verify it, put it to the test, and share it with clarity and purpose.

7. The wave of inactive observers The spies, the silent collectors. Those who do not interact directly in the wave, but observe, record, store information. Perhaps to sell it, perhaps to profit from it, perhaps they work for entities tasked with subsidising actors and keeping us distracted.

If scenario number 7 that I propose in this “ocean” were true — and every day I have more reasons to suspect it — I can only intuit that the plot behind all of this responds to political and governmental ends, with clear goals of imposing more KYC (read: centralisation) and preventing the community and the decentralised Bitcoin ecosystem from feeling stable, strong, and evolutionary.

I would like to doubt that this scenario even has some connection with what Bitcoin truly is for the real Satoshi Nakamoto — that original vision that many of us try to preserve against forces that seek to tame the untamable.

§🔒 My Position

I do not believe them. I will resist.

Yes, I am in favour of Knots. Firstly, because its logo pleases me more; it seems to come from the Tartaric era, from ancient times where knots represented sacred unions, indestructible agreements. I agree with what the actors who act in favour of it promote:

• Eliminate spam
• Preserve Bitcoin as a monetary system exclusively
• Allow additional convenient adjustments for the user’s device — in this case, for the node

That is to say, the probability that those of us in favour of Knots have shitcoins is very low. Our focus is different: monetary purity, practical functionality, freedom without shackles.

The Core logo seems more conventional to me, more institutional. Additionally, the actors involved in this not only abound in “waves 1, 3, and 4” mentioned earlier, but — perhaps passively or unnoticeably — constantly promote “shitcoins” such as USDT, indiscriminate KYC, and Liquid Bitcoin.

Liquid Bitcoin, which — although I understand its operation — comes from federations, an aspect that in my view is like “a Bitcoin bank sustained by a centralised entity”. Which, for me, beyond Lightning, continues — to my taste — out of my reach.

I am not saying that Liquid Bitcoin is a shitcoin. However, I do believe it is based on several principles known in the scenarios of stable-/alt-coins. All of this, in a context where those who organise and are part of these movements make use of Bitcoin’s existence to promote themselves, highlighting some of their “qualities” in the foreground while concealing their fundamental compromises.

§🔄 The Subtle Distraction

Although ultimately both “partitions” (Bitcoin Knots and Bitcoin Core) of the same ecosystem serve the same purpose — keeping Bitcoin alive thanks to nodes — and one “image” is more attractive and meaningful to me than the other, I have the slight but persistent impression that it is likewise part of the same distraction.

Only that in this context, the distraction is focused specifically on those of us who operate nodes — dividing us into factions, generating endless technical debates, distancing us from the central purpose: to build and live the Bitcoin economy.

§📉 The Sentimental Decline

Obviously, the purpose of the distractors — all actors together — is being partially fulfilled, as since the first week of October 2025, a rather precipitous and visible sentimental decline began to be felt in the Bitcoin community and those of us who are part of the ecosystem.

With the exception, of course, of those who practically — to a large extent — live the real circular economy with Bitcoin. Those few who not only speak, but act; who not only speculate, but build; who not only criticise, but propose.

§🌱 Conclusion

I do not know about you, but for me, we are in a stage of great caution. A stage in which we must pay precise attention not to let ourselves be distracted, to preserve decentralisation, our privacy, and the healthiest money in history.

From my perspective, I do not intend to categorise for the sake of categorising, nor to divide for the sake of dividing. But to face a situation that is testing many of us — a test of character, clarity, commitment to what truly matters.

§💬 Invitation to Dialogue

What is your position in the Bitcoin ecosystem? What is your perspective?

If there is another wave that you believe I may have overlooked, do not hesitate to write it to me in the comments. We are here to learn, to grow, to build together.

It’s not about trusting… it’s about verifying, creating, and walking together. ✨
