Given a choice between two people:
1) Someone who is a Bitcoin maximalist and is supportive of welfare spending, taxation, govt spending and socialism
2) Someone who is a Bitcoin critic/skeptic but is supportive of free speech, free enterprise, free market capitalism and against govt interference in the economy
I'd consider the latter as more of an ally
I welcome both (not saying you don't)
Person 1 is unwittingly undermining all those institutions that they wrongly support.
Person 2 will come to Bitcoin when it wins out in their free market environment.
Yep, this is why I think freedom wins in the long run.
The rise of the internet has changed the trajectory of humanity more than any other technology. God bless America for that.
It's inherently anarchist and libertarian in nature, with Bitcoin, Nostr and cryptography in general taking this characteristic to another level.
It doesn't always feel that way from the inside, but I sure hope you're right.
I don't think this happens without us doing something about it. Every note, article, tweet, post and conversation online and offline matters.
Even if this movement gets stopped in its track by some unforeseen global or local event, it's up to those who believe in Liberty to keep its flame burning for someone, sometime in the future to pick it up.
You're definitely speaking my language.
