 If we were to think Tether and Bitfinex are evil, then how are Holepunch and Keet evil? To me it seems more likely that they have a role to play in the grand scheme.
Do we think Satoshi Nakamoto was a random lonely citizen developer? Or do we think it was an organization with ties to Assange, Kennedies, Trumps, somebody in CIA, FSB, Q, perhaps Putins, and hell knows who with moderate powers, whoever is now holding Rockefellers, Rotschilds and alike by the balls?
Do we think Bukele was not crushed because he by himself was too powerful to be crushed? 😄 Remember Gaddafi?
I think money printers were gods, and they could only be challenged by stray gods, not humans, and not bitcoin magically growing from humans. Bitcoin could only have grown from the gods. I think it stills needs careful nurturing by the gods to be able to reach maturity. Remember Kennedies don't have roots in humans? They failed then, and came back with bitcoin.
