 some of us will win but most will not

even the most bullish scenarios will most likely include billions of people that remain digital slaves out of convenience

freedom is not free, we must take it and defend it 
 We must suffer for it.  
 Defending is the most hard part
Not everyone can do it 🫂 
 You are very correct.

Americans need to remember what our forefathers went though when founding this country to realize what will could happen soon.

Lest we forget what happened when we claimed our freedom. 
 We will win
We must win 🫶🫶🫶

 Siempre con las palabras exactas. Yo siento que con #nostr y #btc gane y voy a ganar pero lamentablemente muchas personas quedan afuera y presos de su libertad. Muchos no quieren abrir sus ojos. 😌

 Hard unfortunaze thrught. Realized that few years ago... 
 Freedom will cost you some ₿itcoin.

 This is good. Unearned benefits have a degenerative effect. Everyone gets the life lesson they need. Perfect solution. 
 I wonder why there is no effort to build a public discourse around bitcoin's lack of privacy. only snowden talks about it. public adoption of bitcoin as what it is today would mean global financial surveillance. mixers do not provide meaningful privacy, and average person would not use coinjoin anyway. 
 I have been publicly talking about bitcoin privacy tradeoffs for years... 
 yeah man sorry I was not being fair, there are people like you who talk about the importance of privacy aspect. I just meant that very few people have been as straightforward about how layer two privacy solutions are meaningless as long as there is no privacy on the main chain. it just feels like privacy IN bitcoin and not on it as an idea is frozen in time. every passing day chainalysis and spying tools like that are getting better but bitcoin is not in terms of privacy. 
 Still an improvement of what many live with today. BTC can’t be seized or stopped 
 hopefullt we have a zcash drivechain soon 
 You might interested in supporting #BIP300 if you want a end-2-end encrypted privacy bitcoin transactions on a L2.

 I think rulers (like tribal chiefs) are necessary, but not everyone must be a chief. And then if the ruler does not abuse his people, they are not slaves. And where they are slaves, both sides are to blame: the ruler and the slaves. 
 The biggest thing that I think will make people cave into digital slavery is travel. Airlines are already government owned after 2020 and will require it (pretty much already do). 

The amount of people I know that injected themselves “just to travel” is really, really sad. A “digital wallet” will be nothing for those people. 
 Agreed. Flying gets less desirable every year. Private jets should get cheaper…..maybe 🤞🏻 
 @ODELL 

Either that or purge the useless. 
 What does this even mean? 
 Man I don't even know how to win, I just keep going. 
 Freedom cannot be given, only taken.
