Why would real Bitcoiners who are in it to separate money and state be euphoric about the state - the biggest state to ever exist - stacking bitcoin?

I’m sure you know all of this…

A) it’s fixed at 21m,

B) it’s infinitely divisible,

C) they’ll never own enough,

D) the network effect outpaces any one holder,

E) governments are inherently short-sighted, they will sell and redistribute the coins at some point,

F) them publicly holding Bitcoin and making a strategic reserve only helps it gain momentum,

G) the worst thing that could happen to Bitcoin, is if people stop talking about Bitcoin

Governments owning Bitcoin is really not a bad thing. We’re still winning!

Of course. I get the paranoia, I just think it’s good to have all different opinions out there. I really appreciate that you take the time to discuss these topics.

From my point of view I totally agree Bitcoiners should prepare for state aggression. I also believe Bitcoin was designed with state attacks in mind and that the decentralisation, resilience, and adaptability of Bitcoin will outlast state control tactics.

States were eventually going to come, it’s game theory. The real play is to educate people on privacy, self-custody, and running their own infrastructure. That’s how we win. The more the state pushes the tighter the community will become.

I also believe the individual is more powerful than the collective, that’s why black markets always exist. No state can outmanoeuvre millions of independent actors making free decisions. Bitcoin gives the individual the power to survive outside of their system. It’s so fucking brilliant, we’re just still so early to this.

Keep fighting however you choose! 🙏🧡
