Hate to break it to you, freaks, but the state isn’t going to let bitcoin happen. You’re going to need to engage in some civil disobedience at some point.

I'm ready. LFG

Thoreau wrote on civil disobedience. Recommended. #bookstr

amen. follow.

no one cares

nothing the criminals can do

they will be history soon

👆

No problem 🥳

It’s easier to ask for forgiveness then asking for permission.Don’t let anyone hold you back

Always has been. Bitcoin is about disobedience.

Bummer.

I was hoping this wouldn't involve beating the living shit outta the state but, alas.

This is a huge part of why I refuse to use KYC services or custodians.

Anyone who thinks giving the state all of your damned information when you are trying to "opt out", then storing it in a custodian, especially one like an exchange that actively complies with governments is ok, is quite frankly an absolute knob.

I do not understand people who think that goverments like the US are gonna rollover and just accept something like Bitcoin.

What if we elect Bitcoiners?

elections aren't going to solve anything. it just feeds the beast. opt out. build strong local alternatives. be free of their bullshit

Didn't comply with vaxx mandates, lockdowns or masks. I am ready. 😎

I feel so bad for all the people that sacrificed 3 years of their lives for something about as deadly as the common flu.

And we became stronger, while others became far weaker.

The attack on Bitcoin is probably the ultimate test. For those who make it, great physical and mental wealth awaits.

what's new?

Im not saying it'd be fun to be butcoin crminals, all im saying is im hyped.

It is not up to them.

“Is it legal?” The dumbest fucking question I hear all the time. Who cares. Ask, “is it right?” “Is it reasonable?”

Do the right and reasonable things. Disobey if required and yes, it will be required.

Is it constructive?!

"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence."

This is the way.

Id like to point out that 98% of people saying they are ready to fight the state all have a custodial LN address in their bio.

This is just my opinion, but I find it imperative that people learn to use the existing tools out there so they're not caught with their pants down when shit hits the fan.

Run a full node, participate in the lightning network, experiment with privacy tools. don't be lured into complacency because of a fancy ux and something thats "just easy to use"

There is a bit of a learning curve....

Did this post require Nostr because the blue bird wouldn’t allow it?

Civil disobedience is a duty. If you truly want your freedom, you must fight for it. It doesn't have to be violent, if that can be precluded, but you must be ready for it as well.

Nah. Math just do what it do. No need for heros

By some miracle, they may realize that by adding some to their treasury they’ll be at a massive advantage to other states.

Where there is a will there is a way 🫂🤙🏼

I disagree. It like saying they wont let gold or silver exist. They simply want the tax. IMO. They will stew around about it for a long time and try every fooken dirty trick in the book and then they will relent. This is bigger than America.

The state already took gold out of circulation as money.

Again, this is bigger than the US or EU. BRICS only accelerates.

Gold wasn't fast enough for this world.

I agree but...

1. It depends on the state.

2. State hostility is preferable to KYC everything which is current status quo. While it's scary becoming an outlaw, it's better long term.

Confiscate deez keys

This is the way.

January 2010 I discovered Bitcoin. Mining caused my laptop to overheat and die. Thought to myself, "Intriguing design but it isn't worth this hassle. The government won't let this survive." Uninstalled.

If you can find that laptop, I’ll take it off your hands

So familiar.

Is this a new epiphany?

Got some lead and food storage?

Make a stand where you live vs multiple residencies and staying mobile and off the radar. 🤔

i’m very ok with this.

it’s peaceful disobedience innit though

Meh, depends what they do

Be careful out there Marty, they'll probably target the most prominent people first to send a message. They'll try to divide and conquer; it's usually an effective tactic.

My body is ready. Bring it

Dude. You're so right.

Did you see the new UMU token the IMF is rolling out for a world wide CBDC?

No one ever said it would be easy

"may"?! We need a delete button x-D

Truth prevails on the long arc
