Stop being defeatist.
Here’s how it works.
In America money is speech
Bitcoin is money
The state is a weapon/shield
Rich people wield that weapon/shield
Bitcoiners are the new wealthy elite.
The state will reflect our values
Because we’re going to buy it.
America 2.0
The bitcoin renaissance
Bitcoiners are not the wealthy elite just yet.. plus there is old money and their personal connections to contend with. I don’t think this transition is going to peaceful when push comes to shove. I hope I’m wrong. I wasn’t trying to be defeatist, it’s more prepare for violence from the state… it a natural reaction when their power is threatened
Idk if you noticed but blackrock a financial hit man for the state is pushing bitcoin. We are winning.
Kinda of a double edged sword isn’t it? Sure it “legitimizes” Bitcoin in the eyes of normies but doesn’t introduce more regulatory risk to Bitcoin? My view of Bitcoin is a tool to be used outside of state control not to be co-opted by the state because it normally doesn’t end well. Just my two sats
I think that perspective is unfortunately incorrect. I used to think the same way and then I realized that there is no way we can possibly escape the state. That said it’s an open question whether we are co-opted or they co-opt us. We have to play it out to see.
