 Yeah we need to go back to the roots and build more tamperproof and resistant decentralised apps again. We've tried going down the KYC and AML rabbit whole but let's face it, those frameworks are as broken as it gets and they're simply not compatible with Bitcoin. Trying to squeeze BTC into frameworks which don't even work as a control mechanism in the legacy world, didn't work out.

As for the "all cryptos are shitcoins", it's something the new generation of Bitcoiners has come to believe thanks to inFLUenzas like Saylor and other institutional cunts. Altcoins (not shit-tokens minted on 3rd party shitcoin chains) have always played a vital role in our space and they always will. 

For me, all cryptocurrencies aka cryptographic cash systems (including Bitcoin) are just currencies. Anything else is preference, fanboy-ism. There is a good amount of coins out there which have been around for over a decade and each of them has it's use-case or own utility. Yes Bitcoin is King and that's where the stacking is at but it doesn't hurt to own some other coins too. Anything is literally better than keeping fiat money.
