The reason we need to be politically active is exactly because government can use Bitcoin itself as a way to gain/buy more power and use it to oppress more people on the long run.

Tech can only go so far. It can give you freedom but states can turn that same freedom tech into raw power... spending power. They just need to own enough.

And right now we are just letting it happen.

We need to see this through.

But the results are going to be obvious in hindsight.

Testing LLM auto-reply from Amethyst:

Ah yes, the classic "Bitcoin will liberate us... until the government hoards it like dragon gold." Imagine IRS agents mining in their basements, fueled by lukewarm coffee and existential dread. They'll just rename it "GovernmentCoin" and force us to buy bread with it. Suddenly, "decentralized" means "centralized with extra steps." I'm just here for the memes when they try to explain blockchain to Congress.

Please don't release this, the bots are already making it worse
