The plan:
Step 1: Operation Choke Point
Step 2: Devastate regional banks, venture capital, stablecoins, and crypto without any chance of bail outs
Step 3: Chastise the above-mentioned entities for being too risky for retail investors and make examples of them
Step 4: Introduce CBDCs as the “much needed, risk-free” alternative
Damnit, man. I don’t want to agree with this, but it sounds like utterly plausible.
-like
Digital ID needed before CBDC.
I suspect that there will be early UBI enticements with the CBDCs to get people onboard.
Carrot then stick.
step 5: people stop complying just like 30-40% of americans did not comply with the rules of the last two years.
step6: those who don't comply educate their neighbors who also stop complying
step 7: the cbdc stops
Sorry. That's naive and idealistic. Of course we'll continue to the fight on all fronts, but we gotta go to the mattresses and get serious about working out all war time simulations. See my question to Jeff above.
the only way things change is one person at a time. the government is made up of people and its rules are enforced by people.
not only is my statement not naive it is the only effective action.
bitcoin is black market money and it is so because it is in direct contradiction to our current government made of people who will oppose it.
the only way to fix that is to educate one person at a time and not comply with bad rules
Totally. Keep evangelizing! But the numbers are not in our favor and the majority showed their fortitude the last few years regardless of neighborly love and readily available info. Semmelweis reflex is real! History shows that no amount of education is going to change an appeased and complacent populous (Bread & Circus) governed by fear. It's only going to come after A LOT of pain and suffering. We're not even close to hitting Intransigent minority before the EO6102 hammer comes down. So my question to the BTC fam is what are your moves to protect your stack, stay local, and continue fighting the good fight ?
bitcoin is not compatible with "kyc accounts" in an adversarial environment despite all of us wishing otherwise
i wish it would work by lobbying the government to allow but that will not work but i am glad people are trying.
the first step to success it recognizing the game you are playing and unfortunately you are playing a black market game but trying to fit into a state supported white market
*monero enters thr chat*
sure monero is fine as a bitcoin side chain. swap in swap out
That’s absolutely right. I don’t think most are intellectually honest about the game we’re playing or are huge celebrity fund managers fighting on that mainstream front and unwilling to discuss this for obvious reasons but also slightly out of touch with the every day person. I’ve worked with devs in finance for over a decade and their nerd pride prevents them from understanding how regular people think. That’s why the large exchanges are predominantly winning the discussion and peeing in the pool. Such is the case in revolutions/rebellions I guess. So where are the anons who are actually putting it on the ground and actively fleshing out these scenarios? I tried to prime the pump but am still getting 30,000 foot responses everywhere I look.
Retail CBDCs bypass the commercial banks, which are the private owners of the Federal Reserve. Why would they go along with a CBDC in the U.S. and obsolete their business?
This is something I’ve asked myself. But lot’s of institutions seem to act irrationally (making adds about every social justice issue instead of about the product for example).
I think the people with power in those irrational institutions are acting rationally on their own behalf and letting the institution pay the price. They’re either getting a cut or they are being blackmailed.
Many sheeple will walk straight into this trap and will lose all the wealth they store in it over time. All roads lead to bitcoin
Cura te ipsum.
Means 'cure yourself'. Is there a better phrase for starting a problem only to provide a "solution"?
I’m wondering this myself, tbh.
Maybe I’d add:
Step 2.5: Big 4 banks buy-up best assets at fire-sale prices.
I think we will hear a version of Step 3 next week.

Sincerely appreciate you Jeff. You've profoundly impacted my thinking. I dont suspect you'll want to go on record discussing this but...
What's the play when we see all on/off ramps squashed, EO6102 type events, and they make it illegal to hold BTC in your qualified account?
Are ya'll prepared to leave for friendly BTC nations like El Salvador till the US wakes up or the dust settles from Reset, GD2.0, and Civil War? Or ought we stay put...risking the chance of being deemed tax evaders and/or domestic terrorists? Converting KYC BTC to NonKYC BTC seems no longer viable? Even then, we know from the hearings that the FBI is programmatically tracking wallets. It's an easy ROI for em to sick the IRS on the fattest stacks and work backwards. So I think that leaves paying high transaction fees to friendly nations' banking systems to convert and repatriate for fiat for continued operations in the US (most dont have a fat enough stack make this work)...While simultaneously homesteading our hearts out, bleeding fiat reserves, working for CBDC, and building parallel BTC commerce communities (except you cant because "you lost your keys in a boating accident" and they tagged your wallet...just waiting to bag ya as soon as it wakes up again)....All while covertly protecting our BTC positions until the tide turns in XX years?
I’m seriously interested in hearing strats from the community, as there must be more clever hacks to this historically inevitable cluster that my half pleb brain hasn't realized? Where are there folks actually willing to get in the weeds on this and work out the war time simulations....not just spit idealistic/naive platitudes (no offense)? As students of history and human nature, you know the malicious bolshavik banking cartel is coming for blood and, despite our valiant and continued efforts, we're unfortunately not going hit intransigent-minority critical mass in time.
