And you can tell that they have no interest in spreading Bitcoin around the world. They’re interested only in uniformity of opinion, everyone using the same language, absolute conformity in behaviour and essentially being one with the group.

Thankfully, Bitcoin spreading everywhere doesn’t depend on people playing dress up, “Podcasters”, ugly Americans and other clown show Cult dynamics. The world will be Bitcoinized.

The question is, “who is going to do it?”. People who refuse to take risk won’t do it. Cult Leader speech police who think Bitcoin is about debates on how many satoshis can fit on the head of a pin won’t do it. Memes won’t do it.

If it were the case that the Bitcoin Cult could work to spread Bitcoin, there would already be billions of people using it. But that isn’t even their ambition. All they want is unquestioning compliance to the cult rules; they don’t care about Bitcoin winning; Bitcoin, for them, literally is Twitter (and now Nostr).

These westerners are like the Eloi in “The Time Traveller”; insipid, detached, emotionless, vapid (“stay humble, stack sats”), weak, human cattle. Compare and contrast with Nigerians, operating in a country where the Government is openly hostile to Bitcoin, and yet it is spreading like wildfire there, making it the number two country on earth for Bitcoin.

Nigerians aren’t interested in Bitcoin Memes and other Eloi infantilism, and yet it has spread rapidly. What are they doing there in Jos, Abuja, Kano and other places, and why is Bitcoin so popular there? No one is asking this amongst the Bitcoin Cult…you can pick your own reason why.

And “Bits” not “Sats”!

There are no “different realities” there is only one reality. It’s like claiming WhatsApp adoption will happen at different rates, “Because Nigerian phone calls are different to Australian phone calls”.

In fact money is more fundamental and universal to life than calls are, so if the utility is there, adoption should be more or less the same everywhere if the playing fills is level (which it clearly isn’t).

What Nigeria and El Salvador both show is that Bitcoin can be used as legal tender and serve the needs of entire countries flawlessly. This is a matter of will now, not specification.
