I hope that we can all agree that thought and speech are paramount to a free and prosperous society. And I hope that, as more and more people understand how Bitcoin operates, citizens and legislators alike will realize that Bitcoin is just that: thought and speech.

The idea that somehow bitcoin can be banned by governments is the final stage of grief, right before acceptance.

An electronic form of value and money storage:

- With a limited supply

- Cannot be counterfeited

- Can be censored

I agree, but it sounds pathetic to me. I don't want to be pathetic.

What's my problem?

Authentic Bitcoiners are few, I'm sure, a lot of influencers and a lot of graphics, but all false words.

What is an authentic Bitcoiner?

I think the three most important requirements are:

- Someone who has 99% of their wealth in Bitcoin if you exclude housing, in some cases even including housing.

- Someone who has their own node.

- Someone who holds their own coins.

But most importantly, you meet these requirements because you don't see value in Fiat, so you are able to see Matrix.

You only see in the Fiat forgeable papers, in the same way you only see in the house and other goods rights of use granted by the government that can be taken away from you at any time.

The right of use is always granted by a third party or under consensus, a right of use is not private property.

On the other hand, freedom, like private property, is violence, I know you don't like to read violence, the government has educated you not to use it and be a sheep, but private property is directly proportional to the capacity you have to defend it, if you can't defend it, it is little more than a right of use, a concession.

And this is where Bitcoin comes in, its defence is totally asymmetrical. To defend your house from the government you would need an army equal or bigger than the government's, but to defend Bitcoin you only need to hide your 12 words, you won't even have to use violence.

And lastly, if we were all authentic Bitcoiners, the government would cease to exist, there is no money, no bread, the government thieves have to eat too, if they don't eat then you know, they die.

Bitcoin is much more powerful than you think.

They should publicly drop him out of a window. That would be some good tv.

Yes it's sad when you work hard to get someone you love onto the lifeboat but they refuse to recognize that the ship is sinking or that we actually found the lifeboat. 💔

I'd been trying for years to orange pill one of the smartest people I know (brilliantly book smart) but I ultimately came to the conclusion you listed above... He truly believes that war is good, inflation is good and censorship is good. It was at that moment that I gave up talking to him about Bitcoin.

It was a very sad moment for me.

A decision on Julian Assange’s final appeal will be given tomorrow at the Royal Courts of Justice in London at 10.30am GMT
