the point is that its NOT a "friendly government."
and what I'm doing here is pointing out that fact to people who dont know any better.

I'm very confused what you think is going to happen here or how this deviates from anything we've been expecting this whole time.
oh it's completely expected.
including all you maxis rooting for government involvement as if it was a positive thing.
as if at some point,
they're going to care SO MUCH about the Bitcoin they hold
they'll willfully surrender the ability to actually print money.
something something Trojan Horse something 🙄
It's not about them caring, it's about the people caring. They "lead" the people. No denying that.
If a Bank can legitimately hold Bitcoin and offer those services to customers, do you seriously not see how that is a huge win?
the difference between you and I is
you think captured Bitcoin is a win.
it is the same bullshit.
I think a Bitcoin standard is a win. This is an economic fight.
My Bitcoin will not be captured but there are people who will use captured Bitcoin. Look at how many people use Coinbase and Binance. Now imagine the biggest banks in the worlf offer those services to customers. Now imagine Visa settles Bitcoin denominated payments.
The network will not be captured. It is the individuals which can be. But that is always their choice, and even captured individuals denominating wealth against Bitcoin is a massive win. In fact, it will promote more freedom over time. Watch it happen.
