The enemy within
Sun Tzu warns that infiltration and betrayal inside your own system can cripple you more effectively than open attack.
Thatβs a tactic thatβs been true since the beginning of time. Even Jesus was betrayed by one of His own; infiltrate then destabilise is the name of the game.
Our opposition have unlimited resources to throw at us and violently crushed any who have opposed them.
I think this is just the first test to see how the community reacts. The next internal attack will be much stronger.
The money printer is a very effective tool of the enemy, but the catβs already out of the bag; even if their efforts were to succeed we already now have an example of how decentralized money can work. They canβt undo that.
You have to understand that Bitcoin is a small space and everyone knows everyone, devs work across companies so it becomes harder to offend anyone by having your own strong opinion.
Whether we like it or not, bitcoin development is funded by funds and companies who are involved in this jpeg shitcoinery and those are driven largely by VC investments. Look at the VC list of any company and you'll see that they all invest in each other's companies. Literally. Everyone is somehow related to one company or another, either through partnerships, cross-employee functions or via related VC investors. When this becomes the situation, it's hard to speak out. No one of relevance will say the words I just uttered because their own financial future is implicated.
