Every revolution starts with a tax revolt.

The only leverage citizens hold over their politicians is that they can reject their fake, fiat money and essentially reject slavery.

Not a single politician gives a flying fuck about your protest unless you threaten to/or stop paying taxes and/or reject their currency that they can print out of thin air for free.

Every other form of protesting your government is fake, gay and destined to fail.

Hence, every political issue you care about is better fixed by buying Bitcoin

Definitely not. The state knows how much BTC you own if you ever bought on a CEX.

And what if you send that Bitcoin to 100 other people or move to a different state?

Whats your point?

Nvm

well then youve given up your sovereignty over you money

or given up on the jurisdiction you were living in

hardly censorship resistant

Bitcoin needs as many Bitcoiners as possible. Let's say someone has 10 BTC. It's logical to give 1 BTC away to 100 people for the sake of the network and freedom more generally. Also, you're right about giving up on your current jurisdiction but it's nevertheless an effect way to evade the state. But I take your point in both cases 🤝

I dont really agree that with more adoption freedom necessarily increases

weve seen a lot of adoption the last 3-4 years and freedom has gone down.

Fair enough but that's probably something that should be judged over a longer period of time

yeah

tbh the entire timescale is so short to be practically meaningless

anyone saying they know whats going to happen doesn't appreciate the complexity of the world.

that's part of why monero is important.

Agreed 💯

I like it when I see people capable of creating insights that are based in deep philosophical thoughtsvtgat only come up after years of observation and introspection.

Buying and using Bitcoin, and rejecting slave fiat money, yes.

If you're not **in the military or the government** then seriously, nothing you do will move the needle in a lasting way.

Bitcoiners greatly under-estimate their time preference when talking about this stuff, relative to who they're up against. Politicians think short term; power brokers do not.

spittin facts

Your most powerful tools for that are Bitcoin, but even moreso Monero!
