Coming off the speech of nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9,
we often view our enemies as naive or somewhat foolish,
underestimating their capabilities,
our typical portrayal of them is that of older, stubborn individuals who are out of touch with the evolving landscape.
while this characterization holds true for some,
it is not the full picture.
there are others who not only understand the transformative potential but also recognize it as a threat to their positions of power.
these adversaries are not merely resistant to change;
they are actively engaged in efforts to thwart the progress
they see it as a destabilizing force to the hegemony that has been meticulously constructed on the exploitation of oppressed individuals,
whom they regard as little more than modern-day slaves.
we find ourselves in a critical phase of conflict,
a "war" phase, if you will.
we must ensure the unwavering privacy, predictability and security of Bitcoin at all costs.
entrenched power structures rarely yield without a fierce fight.
they have substantial collective power and are prepared to use it to maintain their dominance.
we truly don't know who is a friend or a foe,
we must be diligent.
