I disagree wholeheartedly. It has nothing to do with fiat.

It has everything to do with the exact opposite - learning from the history of monetary freedom - meaning - the right to use the money we like best.

One can try to politicize bitcoin, but in the end, it is permissionless by design.

To shame and ostracize those using bitcoin on the most fundamental level, stacking sats, under the narrow construct that this action alone does not live up to a moral obligation, is a step backwards in history.

They are not freeriders, they are simply; free.

The act of solely stacking sats stands on its own.

It is no less an act of free speech compared to other acts.

You say it is «not enough» and that there is «no option» to the obligation you impose. But freedom of speech is a hollow concept without the freedom to not speak.

To impose on someone to act differently out of moral obligation, more accordingly to your idea of freedom, would be to impose an infringement on their freedom.

To stack bitcoin is speech. Stackers practice their freedom of speech at the most fundamental level in #Bitcoin

I find it hard to think of a project that is more political than Bitcoin

People of all political views use it, but bitcoin is apolitical.

There's no need to doubt that creating Bitcoin was politically motivated. This isn't just some stone cold tech.

People can speculate and philosophize around Satoshi’s motivation, even project one’s own political views onto him, but the protocol remains apolitical.

Apolitical is not synonymous to something cold, or dead.
