Stop pretending that we are going to end the state by holding ₿

That depends on how they buy the BTC. Is it open market or via 6102.
The right to self custody, run nodes and privately transact without taxtion is the foundation of this particular policy.
Have you historically trusted the government? If not, then why would you trust them now?
No. Never. This isn't about trust. This is about not turning your nose up at a massive state concession without any downside. Pretending we are going to end the state before the state adopts ₿ is foolish.
i'm stoked anyhow, it's gonna pump my bags, for sure, it gives hope of a bigger peak for this cycle, which might mean i actually can buy some land and building materials and hire dudes to build shit and have my dream bunker and sheep farm/dairy in the mountains
and because when people have their first lightning payment experience, it's gonna be big if it happens in large numbers, they will be scrambling to keep this from going viral, it flipped me - my first lightning transaction set me on a new trajectory and i think it will do that for a lot of people, given a little grounding in the economics of money
According to policy your right to own is protected. It is the basis of the policy. Read the policy before strawmanning it.
