Oddbean new post about login | logout Bitcoiners need to be more aware of the battleground we are on. We are challenging the worlds power structures. This epoch is when the fight begins. There are MANY internal forces here to stagger the growth of #bitcoin, no matter how much 'they' sound and look like us. It used to be the random people asking probing questions at a conference, now it's some of the people on the stage. Why would we expect less ftom this dissident technology.
BTC Prague in 2023, moderator opened the stage with a "who's the best Bitcoiner" game. All rise, and you remain standing unto you can't answer a question with YES: "Who owns bitcoin? Who runs a full node? Who runs a LN node?" ...circa 10 questions evermore detailed while half a dozen 4k cameras all throughout the room were filming. I was in the front row and sat down immediately while hundreds of people doxxed themselves and their involvement in Bitcoin. Moderator gave me a funny look and said he'll hook me up later with some BTC hahaha. A room full of Bitcoiners, the 0.1% of society, yet still the majority of them can be played like a fiddle. There's maybe 1% of 1% who gets it almost right. But you never know. BECAUSE THEY SHUT THE FUCK UP!
reason 176,443 why not to interact with Bitcoiners or anyone else. stay anon.
This is why we have to onboard the masses ASAP - take away the power from those currently holding it as they have proven to be unworthy
I don't think I can emphasize this enough. Too many Bitcoiners are focused on things like number go up and adoption at all costs And not realizing that what we're doing is trying to change the world's power structures and they aren't going to go fucking quietly. They are going to use every nasty trick in the book and then some. People are going to go to jail. Hell, people might even die. Its not going to be easy or fast. And while I do believe that Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution, The powers that be do not see it that way. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. nostr:nevent1qqs99u2uw9jd85dztdkqe4n630ynhcq4hreah205uz6ytpx0fkt2cjcpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33vah8wurrw3jx2cesv9snqvrgveungmrkv9jxvar4xquxxcmn8ymrwdmdwgmnx6pev3j8vvn6wemnsen489ek6mt9wfe8z0mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k2q3qc878wu04lfqcl5avfy3p5x83ndpvedaxv0dg7pxthakq3jqdyzcsxpqqqqqqzxar5jg
All masks will fall eventually so get ready to slay your heroes
What heroes? I dont have any heroes? And i don’t need another hero.
100% Too many people forget too easily what we're up against. One of the reasons I remain highly skeptical of those trying to build regulated and licensed crypto banks.
Bitcoin is a trillion dollar asset class, its now starting become a big boy and so the attacks are going to be of a higher calibre, just one of many boss battles to come
Bitcoiners of today are pathetic NGU cultists, before we were here for freedom good times of silkroad. Now it's just gambling. nostr:note12tc4cuty60g6ykmvpnt84z7f80sptw8nmw5lfc95gkzv7nvk439sx99zcj
We need to keep the cypherpunk side strong. We've been thinking that we were already cool and accepted by regulators and have been too confident on centralized solutions. Samourai and the latest fbi psa is a wake up call that we are not welcome and this war is just getting started. We need the best soldiers on this.
