Bitcoiners tend to think that #Bitcoin is playing a much larger role in world events than it is.

Very true. But it’ll also happen sooner than most people expect or realize.
Was talking to an 18-year old yesterday. He had no idea what Motorola or Nokia were. No idea these companies existed. Had never heard of them. Vaguely remembered one of their phones when shown a picture.
It only took Apple 15 or so years to wipe some of the most important tech companies on the planet from the collective memory of a whole generation. #Bitcoin will do the same to a lot of things. 💶💴💸🇪🇺
It's still a drop in the bucket, but each year it's playing a bigger role in geopolitical game theory.
Oh, I see. Thanks for explaining. The emphasis was on the "is playing", and I didn't catch that.
Yes, Bitcoin is still extremely small, young, and not yet playing a major role in world events. It will, but it's nowhere near that yet.
Every change has to start somewhere. I personally hope that there will be a snowball effect and more and more people will “hop on” this change.

It's just a lightning rod, in a reverse sense of that idiom, for people who are looking for answers to how the money is used to rob people.
The reason being that the concept of cantillionaires and the original meaning of "inflation" are almost central canon of the Bitcoin meme. 21 million bitcoin, as opposed to the ivory tower interest rate control of central banks.
It's important alright, because it is a defense against this method of covert mass robbery.
And because it is a lightning rod for related discontent, it is also becoming a protocol centre point, like a protocol lightning rod, for open protocols, like Lightning and indeed Nostr.
I am saying the word Lightning a lot this last half hour. Super hyped about the connection between Indra and Lightning.
Absolutely, but I do encourage the enthusiasm. It is only 10 years old after all.
