 Trey isn’t actually disappointed in Bitcoiners.

He’s disappointed that his leftist friends are the most resistant to #Bitcoin. 

He can’t articulate such a point which would destroy his worldview; but it’s true.

Trey the progressive Bitcoiner won’t tell you this because he wants you to think we’re all on the same team.

I’ll tell you this knowing it will antagonise Trey and his followers because we are not because I’ve internalised Robert Conquest’s 3 laws of politics which are ironclad guarantees: nostr:note1nlw9dgjwkfhujt5vvqta9h9v0ymwv3354k7fy6fxy67yzvr2e5ks8nqkud nostr:note1fesv04cgmlkanughm5l0mtxylr0zvu7r8nf64uvv94cw2805hu6q4n2dtx

 If even Peter McCuckmack can go from leftist to right-libertarian with enough exposure, then why does anyone whatsoever care about Trey and his ilk of leftards?

McCuck had one of the biggest podcasts in Bitcoin. He worked out after much effort that messaging to “progressives” didn’t yield money in Bitcoin.

Even he reverted to conservatism about that which he knew best. Even he saw the bureaucratic behaviour as a cabal of his enemies.

McCuck was a proper leftist and he had to change to survive.

Trey is a proper leftist who doesn’t want to change - he wants to change leftists to agree with him.

Trey’s podcast failed. It has ended not by choice but because he couldn’t get “progressives” onboard to agree with him.

Neither is a hero. 

And I’ve voiced my disagreement with McCuck plenty but I will say - fuck Trey with a cactus 😄

This space is not for progressives. It’s for right-libertarians here to separate money and state once and for all.

Trey doesn’t want that. He wants to co-opt  Bitcoin for progressive ends and he can shove that right up his progressive arse and if you don’t agree, go suck Saylor’s fiat dick.
