ETFs and recent political message-changes signal one thing to me... they aren't gonna try and kill us. it's worse. we're gonna be coopted, and used (via tether etc) as a sponge to suck up the huge waves of upcoming gov debt 😢 

 when you say "used as a sponge to suck up the huge waves of upcoming gov debt," do you mean ngu infinite?

if that's it I get it. if that's not it, could I bother you for an explanation please? 

 Meh. You don't fix Bitcoin, Bitcoin fixes you. 

I see this as a "stay humble" test for Bitcoiners. I welcome the US government buying bitcoins, because I know that we are uncapturable. 

I'm not selling them my coins, I'm not going to update my node on any of their proposed forks.  

 We need more nodes.
