Most global activism revolves around asking or begging or pushing governments or companies to do something differently, to start doing X or stop doing Y.

While it can certainly work, it fails more often than not and can ultimately be pretty depressing work.

Bitcoin activism is a wholly different phenomenon. We’re not asking anyone for permission, and we’re not begging anyone to change their ways. We’re just building.

Well said.

Ironically, it seems as if the roles have reversed. Governments are, in a sense, now asking for permission to get their hands on this.

This is uncharted territory for them.

Opting out

I would argue that this isn't even activism. In my view activists don't built.

They build other things. They show that the code is socio-environmental justice.

If you would argue that, you would likely lose that argument against wide majority of people.

#[1] Thank you for all your pioneering work and the audacity to push Bitcoin forward as the solution to neocolonial fiat debt slavery.

I imagine you encounter a lot of resistance from within NGO communities. But it's people like you who make the difference and do change things for the better.
