It's rather: you own the keys to move bitcoin (the number on the ledger) on Bitcoin (the network&protocol).
The keys are the target. And the keys are derived from the seedphrase.
If you don't own (and keep secure) the seedphrase, you don't have the keys to move bitcoin on the ledger. Hence: "not your keys, not your coins" ( - Andereas Antonopoulos?)
So SAYING you don't OWN bitcoin because of whatever Trump wordsalad, is CLAIMING to have something which is in essense untouchable and therefor secure, but when someone else has your keys it can be TAKEN from you and you LOST all ownership allowing you to control absolutely nada ๐and can spend nothing...
It just logically makes no sense, but fine with me if you want to BELIEVE the case you made. Good luck. No reason to get all angry. Just keep your keys and seedphrase safe.
Love the show. ๐
The battle between inconvenient truth and convenient lies...
One of those is going to help the other person in the future.
Just remember that when you mess up (/error correct) another person's worldview again ๐๐๐
Exactly. Well explained.
I came from a Murray Rothbard point of view myself to ask some (I hoped) challenging questions, but clearly I missed what I aimed for
๐๐
If you lock something in a safe and you own the key (so only you can move it) do you now only own the key or also the item's movements?
I understand your point from a ledger point of view, bitcoin never leaves the ledger, but "owning" something digital bitcoin comes very close to that once you "own" (are in posession of) the key.
If you know the secret key, do you "own" the key?
If you hold a bar of gold, don't you "own" it solely by the ability to control its whereabouts?
What we call "democracy" today IS the issue.
Gaslighting the public into believing they have a choice in the matter of what the elite already has chosen to do... for their own benefit!

Not very surprising for a socialist country.
Cringeworthy dumb though to see this result.
There are multiple translations of the original book and the book is a scapbook of thoughts and NOT easy to read.
I'd recommend the following version. Only half an hour listening, which you can do over and over ofcourse as a reminder of so many good thoughts and techniques how to interpret the world and its people around you
