Bitcoin is a protocol, not an asset; what matters is joining now
A claim has emerged that Bitcoin’s future depends not on 2036 but on the choices made now.

He said Bitcoin’s success is less about distant price gains or replacing fiat currency than about people investing time and energy in the ecosystem today. Booth also warned against rebuilding debt-based finance on Bitcoin and urged active community participation.
