A lot of people on here say that they want no state. But Bitcoin is a state. It rules over us. No? #asknostr

Bitcoin isn’t a state—it’s a protocol. A state enforces laws through violence; Bitcoin enforces rules through math.

A state demands obedience; Bitcoin gives you a choice. A state prints money; Bitcoin mints truth. A state rules people; Bitcoin rules only itself.

You can opt out of a state. You can opt into Bitcoin. But Bitcoin will never force you—it just is.

Yes, #Bitcoin currently is opt-in, but this might change in the future if it becomes the new standard for global trade. And when you choose Bitcoin as your money, you have to submit yourself to the existing rules of the network.
