1. Bitcoin

2.????

3. Freedom

I see this thinking everywhere. The British Empire was one of the most oppressive governments in global history and ran on the gold standard.

Hard money doesn't magically cripple governments. It's just a tool we can use to save enough money to fight back if freedom is valuable to us.

If all the bitcoiners use their new found wealth to beg to be ruled by authoritarian dickheads, we would have been better staying on fiat.

#2 isn’t unknown, people have speculated bitcoin minded voters will lead to more freedom leaning policy and/or that wealthy bitcoiners can flee a bad situation (taking their tax capital and investment capital), triggering government competition for this high flight risk capital. I’m sure there’s other posited mechanisms.

Just watch how people talk about Bitcoin and freedom. No concept that they will still need to fight for their freedoms. People here on nostr have told me more than once to just buy Bitcoin if I was mad about a particular government overreach.

I'll never convince you as well as you could be convinced by simply having the idea and watching what people say.
