The loud American Bitcoin maxi’s are the enemy of Bitcoin, or certainly the understanding of Bitcoin that I signed up for.

I studied monetary theory in University, and I was appalled when I realized what an epic concentration of power control of money provided a government. I fell in love with Bitcoin when I realized that it was a means of removing that concentration of power.

The maxi influencers that exist today, and the people that they are attempting to appeal to, are not in the Bitcoin world to remove concentrations of power, they are signing up to be at the top of the next concentration of power. They aren’t showing up to remove the monster, they are showing up to be in charge of the new monster.

You are absolutely right. But let me offer some counterpoints:

1. You, and many other “retail” investors, know about this before the rest of the institutional world does. When is the next time the little guy gets to front run anything in finance?

2. There will always be haves and have nots. To think otherwise is a recipe for frustration at best and depression at worst

3. Don’t get left behind. You aren’t stacking for yourself; you are creating generational wealth

4. The underlying monetary framework of Bitcoin can not be altered or adulterated. That is much more fair than the current system

5. Don’t hate money. Hate injustice, fraud, and cruelty. What you do with your wealth and time will have a greater impact on the world than you realize
