#Bitcoin is an institution. People enjoy talking about removing money from state, but are people really prepared to stand up and cease paying taxes. Are people prepared to excercise a high degree of civil disobedience. Are people prepared to simply be unsympathetic to the legacy system and its rule of law and regulations? Something tells me most Bitcoiners aren't prepared for this fight.. because that's what it's going to be.

At some point in the future, this "peaceful" revolution is going to turn violent and people will literally have to fight for the future they believe in.

You can only be peaceful if you have the capacity for violence. Otherwise you are harmless.

Domesticated animals are pretty peaceful. Or are they just weak and ineffectual? The transition to a Bitcoin standard is going to get wild and I don't think most people are thinking about this. Bitcoins "coins" are just software abstractions which represent real world decentralized scarce resources. Because of this, it's going to cause real world decentralization of our current power hierarchies.

Domesticated animals lack the capacity for violence because it’s been bred and forced out of them.

Bitcoin isn’t the wild part. It will be the starved fiat slaves that will be wild. Domestic animals that are hungry become a lot less domestic over time. Less peaceful. Being more peaceful than them will enable you to resist them and show them a better way.

Do you think Bitcoiners are prepared?

average_bitcoiner 2y ago

Bitcoin is. Bitcoiners, maybe not.

How can bitcoin defend itself without bitcoiners?

Bitcoin only survives if there are people who believe in it, and are willing to fight.
