Instead of catering to a group of Maoists who would like to see you subjugated and wholly controlled the bitcoin mining industry and those in other industries who find themselves under similar attacks should completely reject the frame put forth.
People need to stop being afraid to speak out against the nonsense.
I don’t understand people who think bitcoin and the dollar will coexist even when the price of bitcoin skyrockets. Bitcoin beats the dollar on both a monetary and technology perspective. Sound money running on an open source network can’t be beat by a fiat currency running on a closed network.
What you are witnessing is the actions of a power structure losing control. When those in power lose control they get desperate. When they get desperate they turn tyrannical. Do not give in to their tyranny.
Do not remain a witting servant of the lies you are fed. Each day that passes that you continue to ignore the lies and pretend that they are harmless is a day you creep just a bit closer to the yoke of tyranny.
"And as for him who lacks the courage to defend even his own soul: Let him not brag of his progressive views, boast of his status as an academician or a recognized artist, a distinguished citizen or general. Let him say to himself plainly: I am cattle, I am a coward, I seek only warmth and to eat my fill."
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Live Not by Lies
Very important essay. The West is a society seeped in lies and if people don't start rejecting the lies we will end up in gulags.

The European economy is skating on thin ice right now and Tom Luongo
believes that this is exactly what the Fed wants. Are the nouveau riche in America making a move to replace the European families who have dominated the global economy for centuries?
Politicians and economists will try to paint bitcoin as a driver of instability. Don't fall for this propaganda. The largest driver of economic instability is the Federal Reserve and a federal government drunk on debt.
Don't fault people for getting on a lifeboat when the ship starts sinking.
The powers that be are trying to curb speech in the Digital Age. Luckily for us there are individuals like @adamcurry working to ensure that free speech is impossible to curb with tools like Podcasting 2.0, Nostr, and the V4V model of monetization.

The idea that humanity can transition to a world run on 100% "renewable" energy and support things like an electrical vehicle future is a fantasy with no connection to reality. Brian Gitt explains this and much more in this rip. https://tftc.io/tftc-podcast/408-the-truth-about-renewable-energy-with-brian-gitt/

I leave for a week and Elon tries to pump Doge and Doomberg is writing pieces about Binance manipulating the price of bitcoin.
Different cycle. Same scams and weak narratives. We are very early.
While everyone's focus this week has been on Capitol Hill anticipating and reacting to the Fed's interest rate hike, power moves are being made on the international stage and within the Union that signal that Washington DC is losing its grip on power.
Everything in life comes with risk, even holding bitcoin in self-custody. To think that for some reason treasury bonds provide "risk-free" returns is absolutely delusional. Not only that, it is extremely dangerous.

The transition to a bitcoin standard may be happening sooner than anyone thought possible. When your monetary and banking systems are prototypical con games they collapse rather quickly when confidence begins to erode.
