Replying to Avatar Trey Walsh

I find this hard to refute. How would this not slow/actively fight against bitcoin as currency/better money?

They want a dumb rock. We want freedom money. I don’t think we’re fighting on the same side

I don't quite get your point, but I just wanna say this BobbyBigWheel seems to be a very unimaginative guy.

The U.S. government could fully embrace/get behind the digital gold narrative, while Congress and treasury depts still have pending legislation/rules that could effective ban self-custody and freedom to privately transact for U.S. citizens

Not to mention the unforeseen consequences of this move and how many bitcoiners (and Bitcoin miners) willing to bend over backwards for the U.S. government.

This "bitcoiners snuggling up to government for NGU" narrative is kinda weird. Who are "bitcoiners" in this situation? If it only takes a few "bitcoiners" whispering in Trump's ear to set back Bitcoin as freedom money for years/decades, what are we doing here?

1. Banning self-custodity in the US would run contrary to the interest of the US government. Number goes down.

2. We run the nodes

People act like the government has any say at all in the law of code. They can run a node like everyone else if they want to signal change.

They're going to do what they're going to do. We'll focus on us
