Nostr is a proof that people will always flock to freedom
When authoritarian holds more power, it will lost followers. Until eventually, no one wants to be part of it.
This is why I think CBDC, state surveillance, digital ID, social credit score are actually good for #bitcoin adoption
🤙🏻 stay with Nostr
Wishing for evil policies because it will be good for something else is IMO very well thougt through. But I might have misunderstood your note
Everything is good for bitcoin adoption
Nope, and that I would consider a religious statement
Bitcoin is inevitable is how I interpret this. Just like how the collapse of our existing system is inevitable and the tyranny that this will encourage. To call this good, is to embrace the chaos that is coming with their intent to transform it into productive order.
Bitcoin thrive in chaos, just like nature
You can call it religion, I call it
hope
Bitcoin isn't inevitable. That's what I call religious. Most people who study bitcoin understand that it's far from inevitable.
And to embrace chaos and destruction because it will produce something good - sort of an analogy with wildfire - is a dangerous path that I vividly will argue against. In the same way as I will argue against people who say that Bitcoin is "a weapon", or that central banks should print money to buy bitcoin or thar governments should "invest" in bitcoin. I think those ideas are based on an misunderstanding of bitcoin money, government, private property, monetary policy and politics in general.
But I will defend to my death your right to disagree with me, as Voltaire said.
I would posit that If you don't see the inevitability, it's your understanding of the basic fundamentals of existence that is flawed. That's why it looks religious to you. You don't see the world as it is.
I say that I support your right to disagree with me, and your response is that I'm blind. Give me one reason why I should continue to talk to you.
Because you aren't fragile and none of what I said was intended as an insult. Success in this world depends heavily on ones ability to be blind to certain basic realities. It's taken me a great deal of study to understand what I've intuited for some time. Chapter 4 of Major Jason P. Lowery's book "Softwar" does a great job of explaining the phenomenon.
Lowery has IMO misunderstood the basics of property rights, what it is and which service it does to individuals and societies.
It actually runs deeper than that. He is not able to distinguish well enough between human beings, animals, plants and michrobes.
That's why he lands on this "projection of power" theory of property and money.
When one doesn''t understand this correctly, the analysis of money must necessarily be faulty.
Like I said, you cannot see it. It's the base layer of reality itself. It's understandably going to be missed by most people.
Pure religion.
If you think existence cannot be boiled down to life vs. Not life, you are living in a fictional world view that is functional but detached from basic reality. Some would condescendingly call that religion. But that would be a disrespectful and childish thing to do, wouldn't it?
I suspect that it would be easier to understand each others' positions if we discussed this face to face, and that if we did that it would be possible that we agreed on more things than what we disagreed on. A lot of communication get's lost in this format, and I don't intend to be disrespectful. Let's just leave it there, ok?
High five! 🫸

Nostrama tip😉
How does one fight when majorities are basically herds following their master while the one that escape from the ' cage ' are merely few? And before you know it ...their master has already spread the word out to all villagers to hunt them down.
