 Bitcoiners: Taxation and money printing are theft.  

Also some Bitcoiners:  The government should spend money acquiring a #bitcoin reserve. 

Make it make sense? 
 Greed. 
Simply greed...  
 It’s a heart thing. Everyone has different convictions. 
 Do you thinks bitcoiners are a hive of drones all thinking the same? 
 Nope, that’s why I said some, not all. 
 Plenty of people who use Bitcoin are not in favor of this development. Permission-less money. Keep stacking and evade taxes or move. Be hard if you are. Capitulate if you’re not. 
 See it’s like this…if you’re gunna steal my car, at least use it to drive to work. Don’t just use it to joy ride around say, Ukraine, and dump it in a field somewhere. 

But mostly, just don’t steal my car. 
 Everything is good for Bitcoin. It's a financial honey badger that doesn't give a shit. Bitcoin doesn't care who buys it or who's stupid enough to sell it for printed fiat currency... 
 💯.  I don’t disagree.  No doubt the US printing money and acquiring bitcoin is good for bitcoin and will pump my stack in $ terms.   I’m just not good intentionally stealing from my countrymen to pump my stack and I don’t trust government to use the value they have stolen for honorable purposes.
