No, that's just misguided lust for power. The only political agenda of Bitcoin is financial self-sovereignty. And that's how it should stay. Especially since Bitcoiners are not a homogeneous mass and there are also many free-riders and, as mentioned, power-hungry among them. Power corrupts, power is a test that only few pass.

Exercise your political power by becoming free from fiat structures. nostr:nevent1qgsr6tj32zrfn7v0pu4aheaytdnnc6rluepq73ndc2tdjzus34gat9qqypp57u9hw8lstgh58az0aml4xagayeuw8p3vga85gp0qzx56l37e53ynq9y

The implication of the samurai case (at least the second charge) is that modern self-custody wallets would be illegal. That isn’t just seeking power, that’s seeking to protect Bitcoin.

Of course. The desire for power always starts innocently. After all, one only wants to make "a better the world" with it. But embarking on the path of realpolitical influence is a completely different matter. In doing so, one gets one's hands dirty.
