The bottom line is really this.. no matter what attack vector the government decides to take to try to shut down the network.. none of it will succeed.. even if the US as a whole is largely separated from the network, bitcoin doesn't give a **** and will continue on.

The current attack vector being pushed is the ESG FUD about bitcoins energy usage.

I think what you'll notice going forward is the people we are fighting will not bring attention to bitcoins legitimacy of being protected under 2A because they are well aware that it's bitcoins strongest legal argument in the US.

Remember one thing.. using physical power to secure yourself.. whether in reality or in cyberspace is what nature demands of us. Creatures that project physical power as the basis for their pecking order heuristic are the ones we see surviving after 4 billion years of evolution.

Domestication is DANGEROUS. 🐗>🐖>🥓

You are an apex predator, don't be domesticated.

Please just stop with the book PR. Do you understand my point here or not? Explain my position to show me you understand it.

Keep it on the 1 thread. Let's start here

#[16]

I think your position is that bitcoin is not a physical power projection technology, it's just code protected by 1A, and that suggesting it's protected by 2A opens a new attack vector for them to treat ASICS like fully automatic weapons.

And that will impact the ability of private companies to manufacture and distribute. Sanctions can be placed on the few companies that make them. Furthermore restrictions will be placed on who can own them.

Once it is only the government that can secure the network we have given them total control. This is totally antithetical to the reason bitcoin was created

2A is the strongest legal argument the citizens have to protect themselves against this happening in the US.

1A is weak. 2A is strong.

They would get demolished in court.

It's literally what the 2A was made for. Your inclination to think the 2A is an attack vector just tells me you are stuck in a domesticated frame of mind.

You're short sighted here. Think about where ASICs are manufactured and what sanctions would do to that countries ability to make and ship them

I get what you are saying, but if that's the route the US wants to take they are going to do it regardless of what argument someone tries to bring up. Bringing up 2A doesn't open up any new attack vectors. They are either going to crackdown, or they aren't. When they attempt to crackdown which at this point may be inevitable, 2A is our strongest legal argument to try to use the legal system to stop them.

If the US tries to control mining like that, they are literally undermining not just the citizens, but the entire countries national security.

You are trying to apply logic to an illogical situation. The government does nit have your best interests at heart EVER! they are only interested in their survival.

What steps have any administraton taken to give you this confidence?

Yes.. so if the corrupt government decides to crackdown they will literally be fucking themselves over at the same time.. honestly doesn't matter.. whatever nations decide to embrace bitcoin are going to rise to the top of the changing world order and that's it.

We need our government to support mining for private industry/individuals and be actively involved in it themselves. The countries that figures this out first wins.

Have you read the PGP case. Please do then re engage. I think it might change your perspective.

I totally refute the central point of Lowery thesis because of this

You don't even know what the central point of his thesis is because you haven't read it.

It's escaping nuclear annihilation and ushering in a new paradigm of mutually assured preservation.

Read these two paragraphs.

😆 yeah all the emotions aside. His point is that the 2nd amendment should be applied because he believes the 1st is not adequate. I totally refute that.

That's one of his points for protecting bitcoin in the US.. but bitcoin doesn't need the US.

Ultimately this is his central point.

Ok when you've read the pgp case come back and engage. I'm saying its a total non starter and settled in court. No amount of appeal to authority or emotion will change that

Honestly our government is so communistic and corrupt I agree with you that 2A will not stop them from doing whatever they want. The 1A definitely won't stop them.

No legal president is going to stop them when they decide to make their move.

That's what war is. We are engaged in a revolutionary war. Bitcoin is digital 1776.

War is zero-trust, permissionless, and egalitarian. Just like Bitcoin.

And I'd like to be able too keep it decentralised amd in the hands of the people. We see to be at an impasse as I will never advocate for the government to be the only one who can mine it.

One of the points that the thesis makes is that no megalomaniacal dictator has ever been able to achieve 51% control of earths natural resources because warfare acts as a protocol that keeps earth's resources decentralized.

The same will be true for the bitcoin protocol. Every single nation on Earth will eventually be using bitcoin to compete and it will keep the network decentralized. Thinking nations won't engage in an open-source, zero-trust, permissionless protocol that produces the most valuable resource ever is failing to grasp the larger game theory that is going to play out.

On page 28 he directly calls out bidens executive order on pushing ESG FUD on difital assets.. you have a skewed perception of who Lowery is.

No I dont. You need to understand everything He says publicly is approved by the DOD. Do you really believe this isn't the case?

I do believe that is most definitely not the case. There is people in the DoD eager to court martial him and that's a fact.. if you read the thesis you would understand exactly why that is.

😆 I'm not sure what to tell you then.......

I've read the thesis and I'm not sure what to tell you.. he explains what bitcoin is from a first principles, systems thinking approach and its totally perception altering.

I think once you can get it for free you should read it even if you think you disagree with it. If you go into it with an open mind I think you might be surprised.

😆 show me this court marshal stuff 😆 🤣

😆 show any evidence if this court Marshall 😆 🤣 😂 man you really have gone all in on thus haven't you

He's hinted at it on twitter. And if you know the content it makes perfect sense.. he's throwing it in the dominance hierarchies face unabashedly.

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 omg really. Bruh come on

Next you'll tell me you believe the Amazon sales ratings

I don't need to believe the ratings lmao. I've read it myself and came to my own independent conclusion about how significant the work is.

That's how having an open mind to new ideas works.

Do you know what a useful idiot is?. See if you might be fitting this definition with your spouting of government narratives.

Dude.. I've read thesis and I agree with it. Calling me a useful idiot literally doesn't mean anything.

You are basically calling me mentally defective for being able to come to my own conclusion.

Have fun staying domesticated.

Research the term and you'll understand 😆 yiu should try reading some history books instead of government propaganda

If anyone is spouting the government narrative its the people who discount the ideas in softwar.

🐗🐖🥓

Dank Memes 2y ago

So tell me more tales of how the government agent is being court Marshalled cause he said so on twitter 😆 🤣 😂

Bruh you've got some waking up to do

Do you think the dominance hierarchy wants people reading a thesis that explains to them that bitcoin is the weapon they need to fight the corruption being spread by this hierarchy?

So you really think anything he says isn't pre approved the DOD? Honestly is that your position

Stay domesticated 👌

Nice withdrawal. Often the case when one can't defend their position. Don't worry your cult leader can't eithier. He blocks or ignores

🫡

The sales ratings I mean
