Only the remnant matter

Get your local (preferably conservative - since I observe better conversion rate for those) politician or other influential personality and educate the community on Bitcoin. Make a presentation, make a course, make a speech. Don’t just sit there keep calm and stack Sats, it won’t cut it. We need to fight for real people that operate real nodes. It can be some other community, a church, I will go to my local priest to discuss importance of BTC and try to convince him to join BTC network.
You can go to your mosque, your HOA, I don’t care, just move your ass, life and death of BTC is in your hand pleb. If you reached this far and you are listening Mechanic, brilliant guy that means you have the base to do the education. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Discussion
Yeah, I agree, but somehow, you and I ended up here.
Satoshi, Finney, Back and bunch of cypherpunks „the remanent” are not enough to run the whole network.
My point is the amount of nodes is still a joke and there is still a lot of good people that would do the right thing but they don’t even know what a node is.
Unless you want to create remanant community of 100 anarchocapitalist living on an island, it won’t cut it. Bitcoin won’t become a global monetary network with you and me running Knots and mining on our Bitaxes at home.
True, but individuals have to want to save themselves and put in the work to understand Bitcoin. I’m skeptical there are many more like us are out there, especially in a world of growing artificial scarcity and easy dopamine hits that soak up the masses’ attention span. There may be too much friction in grokking Bitcoin
for them
You’re absolutely right - I should have taken more care to frame my post constructively instead of letting it turn into emotional slop.
Our energy should be directed where it has the most impact, not wasted by shouting about BTC on every street corner or outside Walmart.
Next month, I’ll be meeting with a political party whose leader is deeply committed to challenging the system, but rarely targets fiat itself. I don’t think it’s out of unwillingness - I suspect it’s more a matter of not fully understanding the role fiat plays or/and not having right tools to fight it. He is also 55+ yo and most of his advisors are old.
My goal is to just slightly help redirect that firepower toward the real issue. Let’s se how it goes.
I hope you’re right though. We will need all the help we can get. Keep us informed, Warsaw forever!
