💯 I think it’s good. For one, it accelerates shitcoin die off

Here’s the thing about the bitcoin-Trump-govt-takeover doomers…

First, Trump doesn’t care about bitcoin or crypto that much. The argument always seems to be some big conspiracy to make a CBDC and use the bitcoin rocket to expand their reach and dominate all the KYC paper bitcoin and trap everyone in it, etc etc.

But it’s only us who put bitcoin at the center of our “plans.” They are “playing with it” because it’s this tiny side project that has been making money. Thats it. Trump is interested because there are voters he can appeal to. There is SO much honesty in the “and whatever else you are playing with” comment. He doesn’t care about any of this, and neither do the overwhelming majority of them.

It’s a bunch of opportunists that see growing numbers and so they buy an exchange, they try to dominate this and that market, etc. it’s nothing new.

Look at the stupid shitcoins they keep issuing. You think these are brilliantly laid plans? They could barely sell anything of their latest scam.

And of course when considering the exploiters of the old system, they will have more capital to dominate the new, but this doesn’t change in any way the fundamental incentive shift that occurs within the Bitcoin model.

Fiat has a corruption loophole, Bitcoin plugs that loophole.

Quit declaring failure before things even get off the ground. And quit framing Bitcoin’s importance through OUR lens instead of theirs. They don’t have that.

This is where “stay humble” shows up in practice, imo. We aren’t the most important thing in their world. We are winning and just need to put our head down and build solutions to TODAY’s problems, not throw our hands up in surrender or put all our concern in some elaborate, long term “probably going to happen” master plan.

Thats just my 2 sats

Is it less true in that case?

This passage is from Friedrich Nietzsche, specifically from his work "On the Genealogy of Morality." Nietzsche critiques what he sees as the "herd morality" of modern society, where concepts of punishment are increasingly questioned, and society becomes overly sympathetic to criminals. He argues that this tendency reflects a weakening of traditional values and strength.
