Saylor contradicts himself by claiming how ₿itcoin protects against an inexorable government confiscation @47:18.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche on Michael Saylor
Arbitrary legal protection of their code is mere “Castling” on a judicial chessboard.
Yet, ₿itcoin’s lack of centralized authority allows every piece including its pawns to become Kings and Queens at will.
The realities of “lawfare” should be no more confounding than “warfare”.
The U.S. made the same mistake throughout the1960s by abusing Bretton Woods until France aggressively converted its dollar reserves into gold.
This strategy only works if you co-opt the entire planet and maintain a 💯 % attack in perpetuity.
BRICS competition alone ensures this type of Ponzi scheme fails.
Wonder if the Roman Empire believed they could also money-clip their coins 🪙 asymptotically, forever.
This optimism should be shared with myriad individuals who have lost their entire net wealth from illegal gov’t seizures (e.g. EO6102), cancelled by NGO gov’t proxies for “unpopular views”, or theft/embezzlement via custodians like FTX/MtGox/et al.
Then most will remain enslaved.
… or the ‘situation’ could change incentivizing mass adoption.
Plethora examples of mass adoption post societal changes exist regarding previously undervalued/underutilized technology.

Paradigm shifts create relevancies for unknown variables.
The U.S. Dollar 💵 has faced demise far more than realized:
1. Continental Dollar (1775-1779) Hyper-inflated to pay for Revolutionary War; hence the term “Not Worth a Continental” by 1781 losing 99% of its value.
2. Small Treasury Notes (1815) used to pay for War of 1812
3. Demand Notes (1861) colloquially known as GREENBACKS to pay for the Civil War which immediately lost its value relative to gold and could no longer be redeemed in gold.
4. Federal Reserve Act 1913 desperately needed to create money from bonds through private banks.
5. United States Notes, Legal Tender Notes (1863-1971) Nixon abandoned the gold redeemable (i.e. bankruptcy).
6. Petrodollar replaced by CBDC (XXXX)
7. CBDC supplanted by ₿itcoin dominance (XXXX)
Colloquially, the United States is referred to as ‘America’ abroad writ large.
In addition, stable coins are soaking up U.S. treasuries to facilitate frictionless dollar purchases abroad.
This is why the Founding Fathers argued for a Constitutional Republic with Representatives to protect against straight democracies where factions of uneducated and misinformed mobs rule.

Be sure to add your own visionary concept of what laser guns could be irrespective of current technology.
It may eventually serve as a futuristic prototype for potential capabilities we haven’t thought of yet prompting new ideas and proof of concept.
CBDC is the continuation of war by other means. - Clausewitz on CBDC
Hence, … “ The ability to debase the money contributes to war.” - Broken Money by nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a
CEO Gabriel Weinberg openly admitted circa 2022 that DuckDuckGo would begin enforcing CENSORSHIP of information likely for the security state during the plandemic.
“By and large, is the level in which you need to understand most things in order to make effective decisions.
Whenever a big picture by in large statement is made and someone replies “not always” my instinctual reaction is that we’re probably about to dive into the weeds; that is a discussion of the exceptions rather than the rule and in the process we will lose site of the rule.
To help people at Bridgewater avoid this time-waster, I often repeat this coined phrase: When you ask someone whether something is true and they tell you that it’s not totally true, it’s probably by in large true.”
- Ray Dalio
Is this the Brave New World live action documentary 2030 release?
If you could resurrect the dead for a day, would bring back Carl Sagan to witness SpaceX landing on Mars or Hal Finney to witness nation-state worldwide adoption of ₿itcoin?
U.K. has become synonymous with 1984 and Brave New World.
