Yea, definitely. I'm not sure what kind of compromise they'll end up reaching, if it even reaches that point. I don't think it will. I think things will collapse FAAARRR quicker than we all expect.
To be frank, I think this need to have complete control over the global reserve currency will be the end of all these sadists. Eventually things will go too far—like if the UK's plan for conscription gets implemented—and everyone will lose it. Perhaps, martial law will end up waking people the fuck up. 🤷♂️
That's exactly why I said not to trust everything in the article. I just said what the article was trying to proclaim. What I believe is that it's trying to turn people against Bitcoin and convince the populace that staying away from it will, somehow, help increase the strength of the dollar.
I would refrain from trusting everything in this article, but it's impossible for the US dollar not to collapse within, at least, the next few years, imo. And this timeframe seems to be shortening rather quickly. Based on the article, it sounds as if they're bloody well nervous that Bitcoin will become the preferred method of international transaction over the US dollar or the possibility that the BRICS currency that is being planned will replace the dollar as the global reserve currency. I know that they didn't mention that last bit at all, but they've definitely considered it.
You're wrong about everything, by the way. A government HAS to be sizable. That's not an option. Many of the recurring issues that we face are largely due to the people's unrelenting laziness and reluctance to take action against our leaders when corruption begins to become widespread. Which is what we're witnessing now, on a global scale. The first step that needs to be taken is a call for the riddance of WMDs. Everything you have suggested is impossible, as long as those exist. Although I doubt that will ever happen in our lifetime.
Yes, but such a circumstance will never occur unless people become convinced of the benefits that arise from being self-sufficient. Once this occurs, people will see just how much governments and certain corporate leaders have expended their utility.
I don't really believe that there is a long-term method of forming a harmonizing relationship with the state. Every time we have, it has been short-lived and always ends up imploding on itself. Bitcoin may play a role in ridding ourselves of the state... or at least assist in the formation of a completely new one. Also, why should we help them? I see no reason to do so. They lie to us regarding their ideals from the very beginning.
"How do you propose to not have a state become tyrannical?"
To be frank, I believe this to be an impossibility.
Respectfully, this sounds a touch delusional. Governments don't have to start out as large organizations. That's not what matters. What matters is that their influence never ceases spreading. It's in human nature to become addicted to power.
Who would've thought that George Orwell would end up correct about everything?
Lol. I need to call it a night. 👋🌚
Stay safe!
I've actually never fired a pistol with a 1911 style trigger. Good for rapid fire?
This is a beautiful pistol. And you're right. Surprisingly great for the money! A nice hefty 16 round 10mm. 👀
Hollow point? 😂 Who do you plan on shootin'?!
Lol. Truth be told, military grade sidearms are not as good as most folk believe. 😅😏
I know. Luckily, I never had much of a chance to use my sidearm. Everyone complains about those bloody triggers, though. Everyone! Although, most of us were able to tolerate the grip.
Glocks are decent. I'm not a huge fan of 'em either. The frame is just too bloody blocky. They damn well do function well, though. 🤷♂️
