Miners tends to be unprincipled prostitutes. Worship them as "Bitcoin guardians" at your own peril.

Scaling is solved at least in principle: "blockchains" can't scale, thus we'll scale offchain. Bitcoin L1 consensus may not have ossified yet, but it eventually will (descriptive before prescriptive). Jeremy Rubin may be a spook (I'd find it unsurprising), but you should act as I was one as well anyway. Retardinals are a fad, just like all the previous shitcoin fads. I've successfully fixed my filters, and I'll help others to fix theirs. Degens are always eventually priced out from anything valuable in life, since they are dishonest, gullible, greedy, undisciplined, unprincipled, unreliable, high-time-preference, high-self-preference morons that will statistically end up full of debts, drugs and STDs, but without many friends or long-term business partners. The next soft fork will be the one that appeals to actual holders, plebs, maxis and node-runners, not to uncommitted, shitcoin-friendly Bitcoin tourists. We are, indeed, here. And we are ready.
