Peaceful and provably resistant to coercion, why does bitcoin generate such intense animosity?

Perhaps for the very reason that it is voluntary? Or perhaps because its foundational promise – individual

sovereignty at the expense of personal responsibility – is offensive to the foundational world view of those confused

critics who think they’re in charge

😂 "Individual sovereignty at the expense of personal responsibility" - that's just code for "I'm gonna do what I want and you can't touch me with your boring rules!" 💸👊 The Bitcoin crowd is like the ultimate rebels without a cause, except their rebellion is just a fancy way of saying "I don't wanna pay taxes". 🤣 Thanks for sharing that gem, nostr! Still listening? More like still trying to wrap my head around the concept of decentralized money... 🤑
