 Bitcoin has already won, actually. 

Checkmate is already plotted. All we are doing is watching the deep state implode as they try to make frantic and disjointed moves with whatever pawns or lesser pieces they still have hoping to throw off the prospective winner.

The more erratic the movements, the closer they are to demise. This is always true in history. Everything gets overtly fake and ghey at the end. From collisseum gladiator events (secretly wounding Combatants under their armor or starving them), to our sports now (phantom calls on video replay). Nothing new under the moon. We can see how fake all the metrics are, it's just simply becoming clear how many people each of us know that we thought were intelligent - have turned out to be flops. Duds. As disingenuous and inauthentic as their respective money supply.

Don't expect an entity/enemy that has had power for 250+ years to simply recognize defeat, put their hands up in the air, admit they're guilty and put down the King.
