I think we're talking about two completely different things.
"Politicians and those with true political power, see Bitcoin as a toy. It isn't a concern because its small and unthreatening." - Here you seem to imply that politicians have power to make significant decisions, and claim to know what 'those with true political power' see Bitcoin as.
I don't even know who those people with true political power are, but they likely aren't the politicians you see on TV.
I agree that the politicians you see on TV are very low IQ, arrogant individuals and if you are correct about them having true power, then you are most likely right about your conclusions.
In my opinion, e.g. Donald Trump can't wake up tomorrow and make significant decisions - he can give you plastic straws back, and free Ross Ulbricht, but he can't end/start wars, end illegal immigration, guarantee privacy, etc.
When I was referencing the Controllers, I was speaking of the people who decide that:
-137 countries and currency unions, representing 98% of global GDP are developing CBDCs at of now.
- all governments had the same response to the Covid pandemic.
- all governments have adopted fiat currencies, with the vast majority of banks being privately owned.
- 58 parties signed the Antarctic Treaty in 1959, including the Soviet Union. Yes, this happened during the Cold War.
- In his book "The Great Taking", David Webb exposed that in every country in the World you don't really own the stocks in any of your accounts. This is coincidentally the law in every country in the world.
- And these are just a few examples.
Your last point "This isn't new either, things with humble beginnings are almost universally dismissed by the established structure of power throughout all of history." - I'm not sure what time-frame you speak of here but you seem to be assuming to know that history is true, and not written by the victors.
I can only think of 1 thing with humble beginnings that seems to have been dismissed by the establishment structure of power - and that's Bitcoin.
But drawing from the shorter-term, verifiable history we've lived- Governments want to preserve their monopoly on Violence + Currency.
Every state’s existential need has been to maintain monopoly on force + money issuance and fiat is the ultimate control layer.
Global coordination around fiat, CBDCs, and surveillance finance isn't ideology - it's structural necessity.
I hear all the time how incompetent governments are.
And yet, governments are always incompetent when it comes to stealing money or rights from the plebs, and never incompetent in favor of the plebs.
It's almost like these retards you see on TV aren't the actual people pulling the strings and making the decisions.
But hey, if you're right and I'm not, we'd both be better off.
