Logically it should. Properly timed, no, it will be a painful betrayal at a vulnerable time.

I'm coming at this constructively: I want Bitcoin to succeed! But for that to happen, we also need to recognize the magnitude of what that means.

Well look, that was easy - you've just outlined what a potential attack looks like. When that is playing out in real time and you have unstoppable communication networks exposing it, with a global network of Bitcoiners watching, fully aware of what's going on, what do they do? They HODL and they buy the government dip.

If we're paying attention, and people like you are making points like this, then they (governments) can't succeed without Bitcoin succeeding, and if Bitcoin succeeds, anyone holding it does as well.

I hope so
