RFK saying he’s going to sign an “executive order” is like me saying I’m gonna dunk on Lebron James. What’s up with bitcoiners simping for slimy Zionist politicians? This is the cypherpunk way?
Discussion
I think he means if he wins
Exactly. I have equal odds getting barreled surfing Nazare on a boogie board.
Don’t know the context, but saying he’s going to do something if he wins isn’t necessarily bad just because he probably won’t win right
What’s bad is bitcoiners putting their faith in politicians. Cypherpunks are collectively throwing up in their mouths now.
I really can’t understand that philosophy. It’s like you don’t think you should have anyone to represent you? So then how do any big projects get done if no one cooperates?
Free markets. All we need is for politicians to get out of the way. Less government, more free markets.
Specifically regarding RJK jr… being a Zionist and genocide enabler disqualifies him from being a decent human being. Him and his opportunistic platitudes can fuck off: https://x.com/thechiefnerd/status/1753929975944659151?s=46&t=hB_1ujRRfTGjvAVfy8U8Uw
American libertarians: governments suck, they never do anything for us except take our money.
China, Russia, North Korea, Muslims: we don’t like you and want to destroy you.
American libertarians:
I’m not American or libertarian. But sure ok. U go ahead and vote. I’m sure your candidate will stop debasing ur currency and stop enriching the military industrial complex with endless wars.
I’m not American or libertarian either. But if I was American I wouldn’t be shitting on the military. Do you shit on your country’s military?
I shit on all crooked politicians who send other peoples children to die in unjust wars to enrich themselves.
Way to not answer the question
Cuz the premise of ur question is disingenuous/ridiculous…When did I shit on any military?
I’m just asking how you hold the view you hold, like what are the implications of that, have you thought them through.
You claim that bitcoiners don’t need politicians or governments. So then I’m asking how you suppose this group would defend itself from groups that have politicians and governments. If you don’t have an answer you know it’s fine to just say so.
U just changed ur question, but ok, I’ll bite. I said less government, not no government. Less interference in markets through BS legislation, taxes, permits and all that crap. Just get out the way and allow the free market to do its thing.
Bitcoin has defended itself from nation state attacks for15 years with out politicians or governments because it’s a superiors technology. Now government are beginning to recognize that and we are in the “then they join us phase”.
Bitcoin thrived despite government attacks. Governments are broke and addicted to money printing. They need Bitcoin, Bitcoin doesn’t need them.
So you’re not in favour of bitcoin being the universal currency then. Because if you are, how do you ensure that there is any government, if all transactions are p2p
Of course I am. The first line of the Bitcoin Whitepaper is “peer to peer electronic cash system”. Bitcoin can and will achieve this, regardless of what governments do. That’s the whole point. Separating money from state. They can use it, mine it like anyone else if they chose to, or not. Regardless, bitcoin will keep working.
You’re still not seeing it. You are leader of country A, with a pure bitcoin standard. Every transaction is p2p. No raising of tax, therefore no government, is possible.
I am leader of country B. I have fiat money. I print fiat money to raise a military, and invade your country, killing all the men and enslaving the women and children.
Actually you could argue this is what has actually happened. The west has been better at collecting taxes from its people, therefore has had a better army, therefore uses that military strength internationally to its advantage.
Printing money doenst create wealth. it only destroys wealth. The current U.S. empire can only print because it built its power and might on a hard money standard (gold) during the 1800s and all the way through to WW2. During this era, the U.S. became an economic and industrial super power precisely because there was limited role of govnermnet, limited taxes, and free markets. There was no income tax in the U.S., it was only introduced in 1913 after the formation of the Federal Reserve. Your hypothetical country B is the U.S. empire in its current stage. Living off the glory of its great founding fathers and early pioneers. This generation of bafoons are accelerating the demise of empire through currency debasement, excessive taxation and over regulation. Exactly the opposite of what made them a superpower.
