> assuming people pay attention and listen to the individuals who were
trusted during that period
Bitcoin is not run by a group of authorities of olde. By asking people to
trust "those.. around in 2015-2017" you're asking people to blindly trust
authorities. This, in my strong opinion, goes against the bitcoin ethos,
and is an incredibly harmful way to push for your agenda. I'd very much
recommend you reassess the way you're going about what you're trying to do.
I fear you risk losing respect in the community by implying without any
evidence that certain people are "taking advantage" of some situation and
attempting "to confuse".
