I initially liked Bitcoin because it seemed that Bitcoiners were smarter than the average "cattle" person you might meet.

That's not true anymore, haha no offence.

That's not to say I don't lile Bitcoin anymore, just that the same forces (dumb people being manipulated by psychopaths) that ensure that the state is evil have also started working in Bitcoin.

Hopefully POW is the right solution for this after all. The battle raging now will make clear if Bitcoin's POW requirement is enough to keep the psychopathas from taking control.

I urge all clear thinkers to be a little evil ( https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths ), I know it's distasteful to get in the cattle herding game but we don't want to make the psychopaths' job any easier. I also urge the big braines guys here to keep thinking of ways we can augment POW and amplify its power in Bitcoin.
