They don't know where all of us serious bitcoiners' stash is, and they don't know how much we have. There are private ways to get bitcoin. Further, with so many people owning bitcoin as do now, and more in the future, it becomes costly to take all of those people's coins by force.

oh I'm sorry

I have it on good authority that these concerns have already been put to rest

so Bitcoin will inevitably succeed because,

it's cheaper and easier for the ruling classes to give up their ability to PRINT money

got it 👍

They won't give up their ability to print money as long as they can gull people into it. I already said that. Thanks for this dumb discussion and GFY.

clearly you don't have a good idea of concretely HOW this is supposed to happen.

We're still at the *something happens" level of:

They buy Bitcoin ->

Something Happens (Trojan Horse something something) ->

Bitcoin Standard butterflies and rainbows

As I said,
