Just stay humble, stack sats, and verify with your own node.

Stateless Bitcoin vs Statist Bitcoin
Hopefully bitcoin toxicity can stand the test of time. The early Americans took drastic measures against what we would now consider small government overreach. Current Americans are content letting large overreach slide.
Gradual devolution and the worst abuses are instituted in a series of crises such that by the time the public realize what has happened there is no longer a clear focus for action
I think the solution is not to storm the Pentagon or capitol or whatever but to decentralize, build independent communities and systems and eventually secede naturally and organically as Washington or Brussels or Davos becomes irrelevant to your life
I contend that a socially engineered attack on the Bitcoin Core development team is one of the biggest threats to Bitcoin.
Thankfully, BTC devs disagree with me (incentive alignment, checks and balances etc.)
