I would say it's arrogance that isn't. The original sin of denying reality and proclaiming yourself a deity.

Freedom isn't free, but it is cheap and very much worth it.

Me just concentrating on how to get more bitcoin.

There seriously needs to be a movement to amend the Constitution to repeal the 16th Amendment and abolish all income taxes, along with the End the Fed bill.

Plenty of government abuses still going on and gonna happen. You need that killdozer still.

I'd totally chat with them. I'd ask them to consider more libertarian positions and explain the reasons for them. If they objected, I'd tease out why. If they seemed dishonest, or like they were too co-opted by the system, I'd have achieved some intel on what the next few years would be like really. If not, maybe I'd have given them better ideas for policy that will help more people by getting the government out of the way. Plus eating pizza with these guys would be fun lol! I don't trust them to improve things, but yeah I'll have a discussion!

Yeah they're definitely playing into the national security apparatus at the very least. I theorized a while ago that that was the main backer behind Trump and the Republicans right now. They genuinely want Bitcoin as a strategic alternative form of power projection, but they are not libertarians at all.

We'll just spend less than we save, piece of cake. We're already spending dollars on things. We'll just spend up to that much of Bitcoin and replace it.

Luckily all the guy on the left has to do is go to the right and get some sats. Maybe work for it a bit.

As long as the country is not harassing Bitcoiners, that's the most important thing. With the U.S. holding BTC, incentives are more aligned, and they will be less likely to single out Bitcoiners for a long time to come. They will also have a way to more gracefully pivot to a hard asset backing their fiscal activity as the dollar empire crumbles, and the transition to a greater degree of anarchy will be gradual enough to not leave a massive power vacuum. So that's the main benefit of a U.S. BTC stockpile.
