 Do y’all just think that bitcoin going to $1mil $10mil $100mil is gonna change thing the world & bitcoiners are gonna run the world? 
 Yes 
 How so? 
 Their currency will be valueless even if they print  
 I think having the power to opt out of the system is world changing already 
 Are you able to opt out of seeing bitcoin priced in fiat?
Do you see that the fiat price does not matter in the long run? 
 Well, for now at least, the world is mentally prone to think fiat. I doubt we will value things out of fiat for a while. Fiat price only matters because that is how most people think. If everyone understood bitcoin, it would shift everything 
 It’s all about rewarding producers and punishing parasites in the economy. 
 Can we really punish the money printer? 
 Money printer survives because we let it extract value from us. When price goes up, more and more people want that orange coin for the value they produced. This automatically punishes the money printer. 
 We can reward the productive class. Eventually that class will demand payment in good money 
 Yes and Yes. 
 How so? 
 We are the 1%
