no, they are not everywhere
Not that much money. Only about 6 months of interest on their cash
Money is a huge leverage point for the government to use to manipulate the populace. I agree this doesn't "solve" tyranny in large, but does take one piece out of the equation, money.
Next is censorship and government approved speech. Nostr takes this piece out of the equation, free speach.
Lastly is taking away ones ability to defend themselves but 3D printed guns and ghost guns takes this piece out of the equation, right to bear arms.
That being said tyranny is still not solved but it is kept in better check than before these technologies. To your point though, hopefully not that many bitcoiners are voting for Harris.
Small summary of a point in "Road to Serfdom", if you wonder why things seem to be getting worse:
"Hayek also warns about the psychological impact of living under a controlled economy. He argues that people’s values and morals can degrade when they’re deprived of autonomy. When individuals become accustomed to the state making decisions for them, they lose the drive for personal responsibility and self-reliance, which are essential for a vibrant and free society."
Dominion voting scanners are messed up. How is this possible? We've been grading college exams via bubbled in scans for decades upon decades. This technology was perfected long ago.
In the race to accelerate as fast as possible, it is good that a minority of people are focused on decentralized technologies that could always remain outside the system.
Arguably this tech is always needed, but it certainly must be developed and deployed before it is ever truly needed as in that moment it would be too late.
It is odd that people living in tight and unnatural quarters (large cities) adopt a socialist ideal. While people living in open and more natural spaces in the country maintain a more conservative ideal.
There must be something about population density that makes people go bonkers and think they are entitled to others property.
Could nostr ever be used to store healthcare records? Every physician would store information assigned to a person's public key. that person has access to all of their info all the time without a formal office request, their key gives them access. same for co-management with physicians. not sure if it is possible and of course cooperation by physicians hospitals would be a challenge
If you'd be interested in increasing by 10,000x your money, put it in the S&P 500 and wait 100 years
