Replying to Mindaugas

Do we realize, that philosophically it is not impossible that the entire bitcoin thing is a scam organized by the same globalists? I mean, I am an all in bitcoiner, but why could it not be just another optimists' trap? To me, judging by the recent history that seems unlikely, but by the total history of mankind - very much likely.

The problem to me is that it is too good to be true. Somebody rightly noticed that it seems to be a greater discovery than fire. In essence it seems to be solving the impossible problem: holding the debtors accountable for their debt regardless of who is stronger. Money is the measure of debt of other people to the money holder. But if your debtor is stronger than you, can you make him repay the debt in full if it is inconvenient to him or he has his own children to take care of or whatever the excuse? No. And this has never worked anywhere in physical nature nor with any existing money until bitcoin. Banks and governments screw you through inflation and taxes, larger firms by underpaying, while you can screw your employees by underpaying them (because you are stronger than them). And remember that Snake fairytail that Trump used to tell? And now bitcoin suddenly fixes this?

Weren't light firearms supposed to make everybody equally powerful regardless of the strength of their muscle? But nature adapted: the global balance of strength of brain and muscle degraded enough to make sure not even existance of guns make the weaker ones equal to the stronger ones.

But also it is unfair to say that miracles have not happened in history. Printed money gave miraculous godly absolute power to the printers over the global population. That is a miracle albeit an evil one.

Internet is a positive miracle. So is AI.

The fact that everyday life has been getting easier for an average citizen of the world throughout the history of mankind despite everything - gives an optimistic feeling.

In terms of recent history, existance of these are bullish for bitcoin:

- Nayib Bukele

- RFK Jr

- bitcoin cash fork (failure)

- centralized exchanges came into being and survived until now

- asic hw exists and is quite sophisticated

- fake covid circus

- fake wars in Russia and Palestine

- fake president of USA

- Alex Jones

- Jack

- Nostr

- Russia Today with Keiser Report

- Trump's "Remember this day forever!" on Jan. 7th.

But these are bearish:

- all of the bullish items could be a setup. If ww2, 911, and covid were, those can be, too. Anything is possible for the allpowerful money printers.

- Putin's lack of support for bitcoin. He has his reasons, but...

- Trump family's ambiguous position on the matter. Could be worse, but clues are really very deep hidden. Not sure if that is necessary.

- transition of power so far was too smooth, too easy, too little body bags. Although it is not unthinkable that the same money printers changed their mind, and are willingly getting rid of their own power.

No risk position would be spending everything I earn, living with 0 savings. But the hope of having savings and honest debtors is so attractive, that I choose to take the risk. By keeping my savings. In #bitcoin .

Even if I was able to mathematically and programatically verify bitcoin, I would not trust myself. I am sure Russian scientists did their best with the rocket to the moon, and failed nevertheless.

And yet, I am optimistic bacause of all the indirect evidence. And I'd better be right. I would not wish on the world to see my rage if bitcoin lets me down.
