Does anyone else think that if nation states mine bitcoin that the slow starter regimes will just go hard after their own citizens' bitcoin?
And there must be a lot of OGs who have more bitcoin than many nation states will be able to buy. If bitcoin is this building block of global finance, there must be all sorts of strategies being war gamed in state departments.
The plebs have played the NGU game beautifully. Is it set up for others to hijack?
too distributed to be hijacked
and already the "digital nomads" are congregating where governments respect property rights more, meaning that a lot of that bitcoin is also there and isn't going to go where it's unwelcome
so, yeah, nothing different for the banana republics though, they will continue to rob their people blind
I'd say definitely, at the end of the day governments are just that - armed robbers. So sooner or later all of them will go after bitcoiners in one way or another. We better be prepared when the time comes.
Lets Hope the future of bitcoin isn't solely in the hands of digital nomads, that's a tiny demographic.
It never hurts to think adversarially so prepare for somewhere between laissez-faire govts and door to door searches!
us digital nomads value our freedom above all else
our influence is very important because we flee from oppression without hesitation
i'm not even a big foot print on this situation, at all, but i'm leveraging the combitation of "crypto" and programming as a way to be able to work wherever i feel most comfortable, which for now is in the bitcoin heavy zone of madeira
it is a nice place here, i can't complain about the locale at all, and the culture is conducive, i can see why it's taking off in a big way here, there is an old culture here that is very robust and conservative, and the young people all run off to, mostly, the UK, to be more "free" or find new opportunities, but that's drying up now and you can see all around the under 35 year demographic is rapibly repopulating here because of the improvements that i think are not at all unrelated to the rise of bitcoin in this place
so i'm kinda sticking with it for now, for this reason, though i have one foot ready to step anywhere else that i have other reasons to do so
i just hate the noise of the south side of the island!
if more bitcoiners come to the north and form a stronger community here i'll have trouble leaving
