I’m not denying that.

My objection, and that of Bitcoiners, is the State in its current form.

We can’t just plug Bitcoin in to this fiat “nation state” system and continue this status quo.

If we are to achieve separation of money and state there will likely be a period in which this system tries to align itself to the future on Bitcoin by dominating mining (as Spaceboi wants) when they see the writing on the wall.

That doesn’t mean we Bitcoiners have to accept that as the new normal.

We should see it coming and use that as our time to go on the offensive for a new system, a better system. Not utopia, but not this status quo bullshit system either.

If we’re not ready to defeat this system we won’t. But if we’re serious about Bitcoin we will be ready and will.
