Yes. No question.

Yes, but mainly to mess with gold bugs. 🧐

Lol

All day long

The correct answer

You don't need all day, you will be exposed. You need a few but good.

Like Trump?

4 hours later, he announced 90 posypone...

The "markets". Sounds made up. Like something someone came up with in order to manipulate.

No. It would lose credibility as a market.

You asked this question on the wrong platform 😂

Its the correct questions, its only rhetorical

No, it isn’t negotiable

¿No crees que el poder absoluto corrompe absolutamente?

Yeap, precisamente mi comentario iba a ser algo así… tu punto es interesante

Es una cita de Lord Acton.

Además, no hablo mucho español más allá de "2 cervezas por favor", pero tengo a Damus traduciendo, así que siéntete libre de usar tu lengua materna.

This is the way. Principles over profit.

I want a lot of money without scamming others, it’s simple

I take that a step farther. My capital will be deployed in an asset that is an attack of this usurious system that isitn itself a scam. I will not participate. I will not prostrate.

We need to know that no one can be trusted we will all be corrupted. We need this system that no person can manipulate.

I wouldn't do that, point blank.

I'm not a mystic warlock who wants to cause harm somewhere else in the world. No, I'm someone who just does what he needs to do, even if he needs to use some esoteric methods (like numerology in my case) to plan for doing whatever it is HUMBLY.

You are better than every human than.

I'd say different from everyone else, not better.

I still have a lot to learn.

Technically, everytime you buy or sell (or hold), you manipulate the market

If you consider having (and using) the power to show markets that bitcoin is risk-off as manipulating markets... Then yes.

I just want people to realize it's risk-off and to save in it for their own benefit.

No.

If you could profit on what you are certain will happen by participating in a system that enslaves the working class?

I will not hold fiat, or stocks, or bonds, or indexes or any of these "products" that continue to give those in power ever increasing amounts of it.

See this is why we bitcoin

Why? 🤷🏼‍♀️

The question is a bit rhetorical. The idea that an individual would not create policies that favour themselves is absolute regardless of morals. The ability to wield power will mean it use be abused eventually.

Bitcoin removes the temptation to create fake value/ devalue work created by fiat printing. The more humans meddle the more they mess up.

My personal view is that while a scarce unit of account is import it doesn’t solve for politics. I feel such discussions are missing in the bitcoin space.

I really think this is a super timely debate.

In the end, power is wanted for the sake of power. The problem lies in the ethical and moral debate: what do you want to achieve with that power?

I think the key lies in the collective, in that way of regulating each other, without obviously restricting freedoms, which is why I used the word "regulate" rather than "control."

Bitcoin is like that; it is regulated by the community. I think it would be interesting to apply this practice to other areas of life.
