 I read a lot of comments asserting #Bitcoin has failed because a solution was built for a particular use case and  implemented with some kind of perceived compromise to the self-sovereign ideal. #Bitcoin is a foundational protocol and people are free to build anything they want on top of it. They can choose to implement kyc, or add support for stablecoins, or leverage Plaid to integrate with legacy systems. None of this impacts the #Bitcoin protocol in any way and highlights the beauty of scaling in layers. Solutions can be optimized without compromising the core.
