The Military Industrial Complex is spinning up its #CBDC propaganda and profit machines. Here’s defense contractor, Thales Group, throwing their hat into the ring. They block access via VPN, so here’s an archive and screenshot.
It’s #Bitcoin or tyranny. They will not stop. Neither must we.
One of their arguments for CBDCs is “Avoiding the risks of new forms of private money creation”. I feel very seen. 😅
Right? 😆
Did you think of what happens once you successfully defeat your military industrial complex? You protect your bitcoin from your evil govt, but who then protects you?
You know, there are whole nations who don’t give a fuck neither about bitcoin nor freedom
I say this with full sincerity: what the fuck is your point?
That while bitcoin is important, its not the fight between you and govt
My point is we have to reshape our govts to work with bitcoin. And not remove govts to be able to freely work with bitcoin. Because we are govt at the end of the day
I often see bitcoin promoters who want 100% bitcoin free life, no inflation, no taxes. But then they forget all govt gives them and takes that for granted. And also they don’t want to think how can bitcoin without govts and military protect them from barbarians who divide and concur (and unfortunately they still ecost)
Absolutely not. Governments are, with extraordinarily rare exception, unproductive leaches. They steal through taxes and inflation. They wage forever wars. I could go on and on.
I am for unhindered, free markets. The only productive use of government is to defend individual property rights.
So you understand that you want to support military right? I also think you understand its hella expensive. Do you suggest direct volunteer funding of military with bitcoin donations?
I don’t have an answer to how this should work. I’m just sure it makes no sense discussing complete govt and removal without prior understanding of how to protect yourself from external threat at least. Unfortunately I had to learn it hard way on my own experience
