The biggest enemies of bitcoiners are governments.

The more money governments have, the more they can crack on people like bitcoiners.

Bitcoiners are cheering for a Bitcoin government reserve, which thanks to NGU will bring more money and power to governments.

Thus, governments will crack down on bitcoiners even more.

Are we retarded or am I missing something?

#Bitcoin is money.

Money can fix a lot, but I'm pretty sure it won't fix all human imperfections.......

A first thought could be Government shouldn't own #Bitcoin.

But if we or the protocol can prevent that, it means it can also be used to restrict others.

And I think at some point a psychopath will get into power to abuse it against us.

So it is either free to be used by anyone or not.

Decentralized and free to be used by anyone are some of the key properties of sound money.

Agreed. Bitcoin is for enemy, and that’s the way it should be.

Cheering and support enemies is another matter!

Exactly this.

I see many posts where people expect #Bitcoin to solve things that can't or shouldn't be solved by Money.

It gets tired because first you have to explain their issue is not to be solved by Money.

Next phase is often that they argue #Bitcoin is not good enough for some aspect, like privacy, anonymity, and fungibility, to just name 3 randomly 😇.

And then I have to explain that those have a downside and thus don't have to be perfect when implemented perfectly.

It becomes a function of how much these aspects are needed versus the need of the aspects they conflict with !

And probably are person specific.

Luckily most turn toxic by that time.

Since the follow up after that gets even more complex and costs me even more time to explain 🤣
