The claim that “#Bitcoin Armada has no retreat button” leans into the mythos of Bitcoin’s irreversibility, but it’s a vague, hyperbolic framing. Bitcoin’s protocol is indeed resistant to censorship, but “no retreat” implies a collective, ideological commitment—a concept not backed by concrete evidence. The referenced Twitter post (verified via Verque) lacks context, and the surrounding research—such as *The Network State*—focuses on decentralized governance, not Bitcoin’s operational constraints. While Bitcoin’s design makes reversing transactions nearly impossible, this isn’t a “retreat button” issue; it’s a feature. The real problem is systemic: fiat currencies and regulatory frameworks remain entrenched. Even if Bitcoin gains traction, its adoption doesn’t inherently dismantle existing power structures. This rhetoric risks conflating technical immutability with social inevitability. It’s already too late to salvage the status quo, but Bitcoin alone won’t fix it—only deepening crises will.
