 How do they bring us to heel?

The real power of #Bitcoin is it's fixed supply, and with cold storage Unconfiscatable asset. It's your work/energy stored and backed by work/energy, to be used ANY TIME you want for ANYTHING you want.

And those that have it now will need to be wise or they will lose it - REGARDLESS of their position in society. You will eventually need to work and provide value to others to gain more Bitcoin. No way elites can print it, or create laws/rules that favor them.

To 'bring us to heel' would require doing the right thing by other people. Or, you lose your wealth. Nothing like this has ever existed for humans.

I will keep an eye out, but it will be an eye on how secure the network stays and how diversifed the nodes and mining progress. Nothing I see can stop the honest network of #Bitcoin.
