Authentic Bitcoiners are few, I'm sure, a lot of influencers and a lot of graphics, but all false words.

What is an authentic Bitcoiner?

I think the three most important requirements are:

- Someone who has 99% of their wealth in Bitcoin if you exclude housing, in some cases even including housing.

- Someone who has their own node.

- Someone who holds their own coins.

But most importantly, you meet these requirements because you don't see value in Fiat, so you are able to see Matrix.

You only see in the Fiat forgeable papers, in the same way you only see in the house and other goods rights of use granted by the government that can be taken away from you at any time.

The right of use is always granted by a third party or under consensus, a right of use is not private property.

On the other hand, freedom, like private property, is violence, I know you don't like to read violence, the government has educated you not to use it and be a sheep, but private property is directly proportional to the capacity you have to defend it, if you can't defend it, it is little more than a right of use, a concession.

And this is where Bitcoin comes in, its defence is totally asymmetrical. To defend your house from the government you would need an army equal or bigger than the government's, but to defend Bitcoin you only need to hide your 12 words, you won't even have to use violence.

And lastly, if we were all authentic Bitcoiners, the government would cease to exist, there is no money, no bread, the government thieves have to eat too, if they don't eat then you know, they die.

Bitcoin is much more powerful than you think.

I agree, but it sounds pathetic to me. I don't want to be pathetic.

What's my problem?

You understand what I mean?

It fits for everything:

That's really not my problem 🤠

I think it's a fiat 🌎 problem 🤔

Government would have to exist in some form but I imagine it would be more along the lines of what the government looks like in small local government. They have little control over overarching issues but keep things like resources(power, water, roads) functional using mutually agreed upon donations from locals(taxes).

Well said 👍

It's as difficult to answer as the question:

What is #bitcoin ?

An electronic form of value and money storage:

- With a limited supply

- Cannot be counterfeited

- Can be censored

- global

- permissionless

- no counterparty risk

- not reversible

- peer to peer

- bearer asset

- etc.

Bitcoin doesn't need gatekeepers.

It needs people to use it.

All that, but with Monero.

My first love was Bitcoin, but I found my soul mate in Monero.

Monero is a privacy tool, not a store of value.

why not ?

Austrians taught me that value is subjective. I know many use Bitcoin as a store if value and Monero as a medium of exchange.

But things are often more complex. And not so black and white.

For me Monero is also my main store of value.

Very well said, but need to keep in mind one important aspect. If we, the chill and wise individuals get to hold most of the bitcoin as a starting points, then it is exactly as nostr:npub1lnms53w04qt742qnhxag5d6awy7nz6055flnmjkr6jg39hm86dlq7arrnt described here - it is impossible for government to exist. Bit if the nowadays progressives and commies (a.k.a. normies) get to hold it for whatever reasons, then it is quite the opposite until they eventually run out of their bitcoin. They will want to "protect" their seed phrases from their imagined threats even better, they will join forces, form around leadership of scammers and thieves, invent different forms of pseudo protection, centralization and social guarantees for undeserving cases. They will fail eventually, but who knows how long this will take, ages perhaps. So my preference, and it seems this is exactly how the world is going, is to make sure they do not get to buy any bitcoin for fiat. They only earn it by spending their time and energy.

Inflate the clown world to absolute crazyness! The likes of what Baltic countries had immediatelly after breaking away from Soviet Union: literally everybody lost literally all their savings. Absolute start from zero.
