The lowest risk position to hold in #Bitcoin is to purity signal against governments and corporations.

But here's the reality: #Bitcoin is nonpermissive. We can't stop groups from saving in #Bitcoin. Not corporations. Not governments.

Saylor's posture, of #Bitcoin realism, takes more courage than Jack's, IMHO. Getting the trojan horse in through the gates takes huge personal risk and lots of work. Sitting back and negging is great for making anarcho friends online but does not advance game theory or shape it in our favor.

The adoption path for #Bitcoin is not linear. It is occuring all at once. Power is ordered in the world, but still distributed. Governments and corps would plainly be the last to adopt private internet cash. SoV clearly comes first for them. But developing and deploying privacy-preserving payments is not blocking on Gov approval.

We don't need permission to, slyly and in a round about way, introduce private payments into #Nostr and into real world economies. The developmenr of #Ark, for example, doesn't need to care about how govs and corps use Bitcoin.

Think nonlinearly.

Think nonpermissively.

Jacks right though, they will try neuter Bitcoin as a RWA and sever ties as soon as convenient, like they did physical gold.

You know the Bitcoin Dollar thesis (h/t Mark).

So, who is Trojan horsing who? I think it’s apt to be wary and push the envelope, which Jack does way more with his open source funding than fucking Saylor does stacking, leveraging, bagging on the cypher punk values, and wanting fucking yield from JPM.

What absurd sentiment.
