One of the best answers I ever heard about #Bitcoin was someone who asked a hardcore bitcoiner, “You only talk about all of these great benefits, but what is the worst thing about Bitcoin?”

His answer was, “It’s going to grant all those same freedoms and benefits to the person who you hate most in the world. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Ironically, that’s what most people can’t give up. They can’t let go of the statist temptation of arbitrarily punishing people they don’t like, or are afraid of. nostr:note1wxevegymwd4vscqu3urkqsx4qsuma9qphkdhk9amru3pdr77fjxsdsc0xr

This is such an important point.

- A knife can cook dinner, or stab someone to death

- A phone can dial 911 and save a life, or talk someone into a paedo group

- A car can drive a family to church, or be a getaway vehicle in a back heist

Tools are there to be used. People will use them as they wish, right or wrong
