At the end of the day, the people with the monopoly of violence will control what they want until they can’t.

Possessing bitcoin doesn’t give you power over the protocol. But if you can point a gun to the heads of those in your jurisdiction and say “bitcoin belongs to the state, you use this paper money” or whatever, then yeah. They control the monetization within that jurisdiction to some degree.

This is just meat-space reality. Wish it wasn’t so, but nature is nature.

Throughout history, groups of people have always dominated relative to the individual. This will never change.

That’s great because I had no idea who was gonna build them

All organized bitcoin entities should be viewed skeptically considering centralization is the opposite of what bitcoin is about.

That goes double for publications whose only purpose is to influence opinion. Don’t trust media folks. Figure things out for yourself. Those who tell you things do so behind a Lens which is for their benefit, not yours.

The problem with these folks is that they’re talking about something which is a relative game. The euro has held purchasing power better than most other fiat currencies, which is sad given the graph above. The dollar and euro are just cleaner shirts in dirty laundry, and they know that’s good enough to get foreign sovereign’s to buy their bonds and fund their ponzi.

Bitcoin will never fix human nature, only mitigate it

Not to mention that you look retarded as fuck wearing it

They can fuck right off.

I wonder why just the EU and not everywhere. This would seemingly benefit their App Store across the board regardless of jurisdiction

Up when denominated in fiat.

Down when denominated in Bitcoin.

Yesterday I saw an ad that was an AI generated crypto scam of Michael Saylor from his interview with Patrick Bet-David on whatever that podcast is called. But it’s like, you can censor people talking about vaccines instantly but you’re allowing blatant scams to be featured as advertisements?

There’s no way that isn’t intentional.
