To fully understand #Bitcoin Game Theory, you must accept the reality of the Dollar Prisoner’s Dilemma and Dollar Stockholm Syndrome that pretty much all of us are trapped by.

The best way to escape a prison is to fully understand the prison.

I know the Prisoner's Dilemma. Can you give the jailer's dollar offer in simple terms (eg. if you accept Bitcoin and the other rejects Bitcoin you win X. But if you both accept Bitcoin you get half X).

It might not be perfect, but defecting would be the equivalent of the “prisoners” selling their #Bitcoin for Dollars because it’s better for them individually, but not collectively, thus everyone betrays the cause of #Bitcoin by selling back for Stockholm Syndrome Dollars

Cooperationwould be all prisoners refusing to sell their #Bitcoin for Dollars because it’s better for the collective group to cooperate.

We don’t have enough cooperation/conviction yet among #Bitcoin Plebs to NOT sell for Dollars.
