The tech bros have had 13 years to create hyperbitcoinization. They have failed bc they don’t seem to comprehend that Bitcoin isn’t simply just magic internet money. Some want some fantastical, peaceful, and truly grandiose transition to the new age; some are weirdly anti-war (ie: where war means competition and physical power projection - NOT nation state war). The problem is that the premises of a peaceful / non-violent (ie: think of violence like a hurricane or tsunami) transition to a Bitcoin standard are all messed up. Bitcoin is war-competition / power projection technology literally designed to plunder everything from and completely destroy the legacy system. The legacy system is the weak, feeble, and fragile-old lion long past his day and incapable of protecting the pride. It’s only natural for a younger lion to absolutely shred the old lion to pieces and take his rightful place of dominance in the kingdom. Tell me again how nature is peaceful?

The ascetic ideals of truth, the good, reason, and justice have completely psyopd some Bitcoiners into believing abstract power projection like truth, the good, reason, and justice can ever claim by decree and ascertain Bitcoins’ victory. LO, I TELL YOU THAT THIS IS STATISM; THE ANTITHESIS OF BITCOIN! Nothing in nature is truly obtained in this world by decree or proof of stake; everything worth anything is taken by force and proof of work.

Check your premises. Search your instincts. And you will know that Bitcoin would fail if it weren’t power projection softwar fighting technology. This is game theory; letting your opponent (who you can’t trust) obtain all the resources is how to die 101.

I use sats as electronic “cash” just like satoshi explained.

If you carefully read Satoshi's white paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" you realize that we are increasingly in a world where we are taught to be suspicious of cash, that those who choose to deal primarily with physical cash are shady at best or criminals at worst. Make no mistake, this is a war, and the victory condition is a state where ALL transactions are tied to an identity that leaves an audit trail for law enforcement and tax authorities.

The war on cash is a real thing. The benefits of a cash free society are too great (from the perspective of central bankers and the state) and make no mistake the war on cash is a WAR ON YOU!

Bitcoin represents a serious threat to the war on cash. Without firm control the central banker vision of a cashless society can be severely undermined with Bitcoin.

In Satoshi's white paper title, p2p electronic cash brings system that Satoshi described as electronic cash and it was successful - it created the conditions for an electronic analog to physical cash.

For the first time ever, data could be cash. And data is analogous to speech, and speech always wants to be free.

Unfortunately from the very early days Bitcoin has been painted as "a better money" but this is flawed and why #Bitcoin is being actively attacked in the war on cash, tied up in 'Anti Money Laundering' regulations.

There are no 'coins', no 'notes', no 'currency units'. There is only a chain of digital signatures. There is no issuance of currency. When a new block is found a new special digital signature is created. The signature announced publicly to anyone who will listen.

They are no wallets because there are only keychains that hold public/private key pair data.

Text. Data. Speech.

Yes, but 10 gigawatts of energy backs satoshis vision. If energy and power projection wasn’t the foundation of bitcoin then bitcoin would be worthless because the cost of attack would be unfathomably low - this proves bitcoin is a defence protocol.

Lots of tech Bitcoiners have extreme recency bias and cognitive dissonance re ‘what satoshi made bitcoin to be’ and ‘what Bitcoin actually is’.

For example; the shitscriptors are using bitcoin as a place to mine arbitrary data lmao; that wasn’t in satoshis white paper.

Just because gunpowder was originally designed as medicine didn’t mean it ended up being used in practice as medicine lol
