call me crazy but would rather not have the most powerful government in human history in my threat model

Don't we need to beat them?
What if the real victory is not beating them, but converting them?
Because you’re watching a hell of a lot of members of the government become bitcoiners before your eyes. You are not seeing the government disappear, and you’re not going to see that in your lifetime, sorry to tell everybody.
I'm cautiously optimistic. I don't know if it's better for them to adopt or just ignore bitcoin. Openly hostile to it would not be great. I just feel like there is an angle they are hoping to exploit. Which is probably true but unavoidable. Things will just have to play out.
Ignore is not an option. If you believe the things most of us have believed and said about where bitcoin was always going to go, it was never an option. How could bitcoin take over the store of value function from so many global assets and be ignored?
I mean, no offense saying this, but this is why I have yet to hear an argument from the other side of this which is not based in fantasy.
Fair point, no offense taken, I'm just pondering out loud.
