Oddbean new post about login | logout The “they” in the “then they fight you camp” are going to find out pretty soon that there are far too many of “us”. #Bitcoin. #Nostr
I don't think it will be soon. I think it will get very ugly before it "we" win.
Very likely but more important to know that “we” already have - and more people are joining us each day. #weareallsatoshi.
"far too many of "us" " that r distributed globally keeping the fire of 99% and freedom alive, freedom nvr dies nor born
From war on terror to war on virus to war on protocol. No worries here, it will cost them a lot of money and "they" will of course fail again...
Amen Jeff. There are dozens of us ready to stand our ground.
Slowly, then suddenly
Let's hope so 🫡
And that they'd have to fight each one of us individually & one at a time. Most of us don't even need to fight. Make them work for the fight, don't bring the fight to them. Just keep living your glorious existence until by some off chance they manage to find & serve you. This is what the cypherpunks gave to us. 🧡🤙
It’s the “us bots” they should be worried about 🤣 nostr:note1jfupkc80khgadtw29za9xkzzf2hz3rfxm96vn0gylap5tvd9w4psxx0tqd
If things were not broken „they“ would continue to be „us“ as it was intended all along.
Jeff, I’ve been wondering if something like the 100th monkey effect might happen with Bitcoin. I suspect it’s not a thing with humans who are emotionally attached to the current system. But If something like that were to happen some time within the next 20 years, maybe we could avoid WW3…..maybe. What do you think?
I can appreciate the UniKitty MO, but it seems a bit naive and lacking recognition of history and human nature. The reality is we will remain in the minority for some time (Covid proved it). Your thesis seems to be that the flip will happen so hard n fast they wont be able to stop it, when in reality they're gonna bleed people out slowly. "They" have the policing power soon driven by AI + CBDC+Regulatory Fuckery (i.e. Trustees can self custody BTC in a qualified account). It's going to get super ugly before the BTC phoenix rises from the ashes. How can we alleviate the pain in the interim and help folks protect their BTC position (majority holds <1BTC) by creating instruments that will enable life-as-usual, so folks won't capitulate under the inevitable onslaught of the bolshevik banking cartel and/or be forced with decisions like leaving the country, which most cannot afford. A black market economy like you suggested in MacroHang#6 may create positive pressure, but it's wishful thinking under these conditions. Both Luke and @saifedean have said as much when stating "you have to be comfortable with an allocation that can be locked up for XX years". It seems like you disagree with them? Wishful thinking and virtual picketing wont win the war for the majority of Bitcoiners. Spare us the meme and help us game out solutions or explain why I'm wrong. Otherwise, it eventually gets reduced to a bunch of evangelizing/theorizing rich bitcoiners telling the rest "Good luck! We're going to Madeira!". Much love and respect for you @Jeff Booth.
They can unbank us with laws, but our goal is to unbank ourselves with a circular economy. nostr:nevent1qqsfy7qmvrhmt5wk4h9z3wjntppy4t3g35ndjaxfh5z07s69kxjh2scpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzpqlgrr0man8226c0252hdvla8xn62rsas9vngdgqx686ppwvm9jtqvzqqqqqqyxdz942
Jeff, point is, that soon we ourselves will not fathom the sheer number of overt or hidden bitcoiners out there. nostr:nevent1qqsxc2veudnev5y4gpxcj65vmg266yv9zk87yu8td3sxjtxp2klzkqcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59upzqrpfkz4w8p2uwtarsddx0xjcvpcq884nhptxhvskuhwak9jnj96zqvzqqqqqqy5z749s explanation: an ad in my postbox from a "random" jewellery shop in Berlin. this is pure bottom up.
