I never trusted any politician and I never bought the story that #Milei won't serve the globalist forces. (Do you remember that his first travels were to Israel and the US?) Now there's a quite high chance that #Argentina's #Gold disappeared forever and the possiblr destination is London, HSBC. Ohh did I mention that Milei worked for #HSBC before? 😂🤦‍♂️ https://image.nostr.build/a33939756990da195f5cb155eeaf1c9a93bbf5a27219cca5a0aa78d8ae7032d8.jpg Source: https://english.elpais.com/economy-and-business/2024-07-28/the-mystery-of-argentinas-gold-milei-admits-that-it-was-transferred-abroad-without-specifying-the-quantities-or-destination.html

I had some hope, because people are always free to choose and change and even die for good values and principles. But now it's always more clear what his values are, then it seems he never understood bitcoin either. There can never be hope in politics.

I wonder how a state can hold Bitcoin as a strategic reserve? A state is great at physical and psychological violence, but protecting information has never been the core competence of a state. How do you prevent individual officials from getting too much information to steal Bitcoin? I mean, Bitcoin is great for the individual, but not so good for the collective.
