Everyone acknowledges that the early Bitcoiners who are today’s whales were of the anarchist ilk. Anti-state, anti-government, anti-bank type people.

What no-one talks about when throwing out multimillion dollar valuations of #Bitcoin is what a new financial elite class full of these people might look like.

They didn’t HODL for the gainz. NGU is a means to an end for them.

These early adopters want separation of money and state at minimum. They’d probably rather no State but ironically will benefit most from States waking up to the game theory at play here.

So what does the world look like when these guys (and yes, they’re all guys) are sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars / billions in liquid Bitcoin?

Do you think they just drop their disdain for the fiat system? They gonna “cash out”? Lol, into what?

I’m sure they’re going to be living good lives, but you can order a hit for four-figures today. What’s stopping them from using prediction markets to put prices on politicians heads and manipulate those markets how they want it?..

No-one talks about this perhaps because no-one wants to think through the implications of a new financial elite who hates the incumbents so much they’d be willing to end them; but there’s hopium and there’s reality. Reality says they aren’t just going to sit on massive wealth and do nothing whilst parasites continue being the worst humans on the planet plundering everyone else.

I hope TradFi pumps their bags so hard that they make the people they hate the most into the new elite class.

We’re due a reset of this level and they won’t even see it coming.

I'm not selling till that shit burns to the ground.

I’m not selling and I’ll still watch this shitshow burn

1. Seperation of money and state means removing the creation of money the hands of the government to no-one.

2. Bitcoin is proof of work, no matter how early or how much you own it doesn't make you more special than someone else. If some adopters decide to spend their coins they will need to work to get less in the future.

Grow up.

10,000 BTC is different to 1,000 which is different to 100 which is different to 10.

Tell me all about your theory of proof of work whilst new Billionaires are minted.

Proof of work means you get to keep your coins if you keep providing value to society. When you try control things by using your bitcoin stack (no matter how big it is) you are spending those coins that you can't get back without POW, in contrast to the fiat system if you have money and influence you can maintain your position regardless how many stupid decisions you make.

Study #Bitcoin

Were they anarchists, or were they libertarians? 🤔

Both.

It started more anarchist though.

Humanity has never seen an anarchist financial elite of any kind and they’re not ready for it.

Wealth was always built within the system. This will be the first time we’ve seen wealth built outside of it by the very people who hate the system most.

Good luck to the parasites!

The folks we're talking about aren't pawns, but neither are they players; they're programmers.

As a dev, my gut says we'll end up with a new set of rules, and a new class of anarchists & libertarians 🤷‍♂️

The folks we’re talking about are the opposite of pawns.

They pay pawns to pull triggers.

They are so cash rich they can do whatever they want.

You seem to be misunderstanding this whole thing exactly how a normie would.

Are you a normie?

Was this a reply to me? If so I think you may have misread.
