That is how a human in the year 2023 describes the characteristics of states and on the other hand, people around me, are still not getting how dependent they truly are, trusting the state to the point of blindly following:

„Do you think that a machina capable of sending tens of billions of dollars in weapons halfway around the world, killing millions of people, hurting and impoverishing hundreds of millions, destroying complete countries, is only going to make a few statements in newspapers as to how polluting Bitcoin is? Do you think taking down FTX or Binance is going to be the most they're going to be able to do? Do you think when the going gets tough you're going to be able to buy Wallmart coupons in Bitrefill? Do you think people who think killing half a million Iraqi children was worth it, are going to stop because "I have my own node"? You might need someone to recommend a couple of books on modern history.... We need to guard our own bitcoin and make payments MUCH MORE private than they are now, and we need it for yesterday.“
