You’re agreeing that everything I said is reality. You just don’t like it. Which is fine because I don’t like it either. I think Europe should stand on its own.

Things Bitcoin allows you to do that statists don't want you to know about (and beware that the world of Bitcoin is full of statists and idiots)

- If you get a tax inspection, they won't be able to take anything from you. Keep in mind that the police can enter your home, so never keep your seeds at home.

- The state cannot block your Bitcoin; you can always buy things with Bitcoin.

- As a seller of goods or services, you have the option of using Bitcoin as black money, so you don't have to worry about the state knowing what you deposit in the bank without invoicing. Simply accept these payments in Bitcoin instead of fiat money. This is one of its strongest properties and the one we need to promote the most.

- You will be immune to money printing by the government.

- If the government screws you over, you can take all your wealth and leave for another country without any problems at the borders.

- You will not be financing wars.

whats the real menace?

fuck off branca

go do something productive

remember 5 minutes ago when saylor was blocking devs from being funded and talking about how risky it is to work on bitcoin

and now he's talking about how risky it is to not rapidly build quantum resistance and do hard forks

what a fucking retard

anyway just use segwit and don't re-use addresses and you don't have to worry about quantum.

I long for the day when I wake up and see that the world has become more critical, more rational, and has stopped applauding its clay idols.

Your only idols should be your family and your wallet, because your wallet serves to protect your family.

Everything else they tell you is lies in favor of other people's interests.

Spain is undoubtedly a clear example of Bitcoin's failure.

Now, in 2026, the tax agency will monitor all transactions made on a platform called “bizum,” which is the country's standard for sending money immediately between individuals (similar to Revolut), regardless of the transaction amount.

Since 2025, the tax agency has also been monitoring all second-hand buying and selling markets, and many people have received requests from the tax agency for this reason or have had their accounts blocked.

Cash payments are also increasingly restricted. Last year, a limit of €1,000 in cash was set for payments to professionals. And if you go to the bank to deposit a €500 cash bill, you are treated like Pablo Escobar and have to fill out paperwork, and the tax agency is informed if they deem it appropriate.

Bizum can be replaced by Bitcoin (Lightning), payments to professionals can be replaced by Bitcoin, banks can be replaced by Bitcoin, and second-hand markets can be created with Bitcoin payments.

But none of this is happening, because even though Bitcoin is the best monetary idea of the last 2000 years, people are still just as stupid as they were 2000 years ago.

Podcasting is the new grifting

Thanks for being honest and coming clean that you are blowing open op return for L2s you are building.

Is this capitalism? #asknostr

Yes, Jeff Booth is the goat for sure, however, I listened to a bunch of podcasts with him recently and it feels like he's intentionally omitting very important information or has massive blind-spots.

Even if raising these questions is considered "FUD", well if the FUD is warranted we should be talking about these things and we should be making people aware of these issues.

Many will be familiar with the concept of "Controlled opposition" when it comes to politics.

Controlled opposition refers to an individual that appears to be part of a movement but is actually working against its interests.

So, Controlled Opposition = Safe Opposition.

However, the concept doesn't apply just to politics - it also applies to finance.

The next logical question is:

- If self-custody Bitcoin used as a medium of exchange is the real threat to the system, what are the main "Controlled opposition" assets?

The TLDR:

If the real threat is sovereign, self-custodied Bitcoin used as money, the main "controlled-opposition" assets are those that:

1) scratch the same itch (store of value/digital convenience),

2) live on rails the system controls (KYC, custodian choke-points, halt switches, derivatives plumbing),

3) pull mind-share and flows away from self-custody.

So let's look at what functionally acts as "controlled opposition" to Bitcoin-as-money

1) Spot Bitcoin ETFs / futures ETPs / broker wrappers / treasury companies

- Why: Satisfies "I want Bitcoin" inside supervised custody (halts, KYC, AP/MM control). Price exposure without keys.

- Divert: Normalizes paper claims; self-custody becomes niche.

2) Stablecoins & tokenized Treasuries (USD rails)

- Why: Feels "crypto", settles fast, but is centrally stoppable and ID-bound; reinforces USD/Treasury primacy.

- Divert: People do "crypto payments" without touching Bitcoin as MOE (Medium of Exchange).

3) ETH + L2/"Web3 compute" with compliance defaults

- Why: Captures the "programmable money" mind-share; sequencers/validators and major front-ends are policy-sensitive and OFAC-aligned.

- Divert: Builders and users focus on "platform tech", not sovereign money; payments route through KYC endpoints.

4) Gold (esp. via ETFs/vaulted products)

- Why: Absorbs "hard-money" demand inside custodian oligopolies; no parallel payments rail.

- Divert: People hedge with gold instead of adopting Bitcoin for spend/settlement.

5) AI mega-caps & the power stack (chips, hyperscalers, data centers)

- Why: Dominates narrative and capital budgets; policy-blessed growth captures risk capital.

- Divert: "Future upside" shifts to AI equities instead of monetary sovereignty.

6) Meme-coins/alt-L1 manias on KYC venues

- Why: Soaks up speculative energy; easy to list/delist; risk stays in pipes with kill-switches.

- Divert: Attention rotates; Bitcoin's monetary focal point dilutes.

7) CBDCs & digital-ID money (the end-state substitute)

- Why: Institutionalizes programmable compliance; gives the convenience Bitcoin can't match under KYC.

- Divert: Everyday payments default to CBDC rails; Bitcoin remains "asset class".

To de-fang Bitcoin-as-money, the Controllers oversupply substitutes that feel "hard", "digital", "innovative", or "yieldy" - but live in supervised pipes.

What the Controllers know that most Bitcoiners don't:

- permissionless technology ≠ permissionless adoption

🚨 REMINDER: write about investment implications/incentives.

I don't follow much of the technical aspects of this discussion but feel I could someday, and possibly contribute... thnx for all you do!
