 It is possible to understand that bitcoin is the best money but not be a part of the cause of taking money away from the government to reduce government size and power. How many people have you seen make pro government bitcoin adoption posts?

Some of us are trying to overthrow the government and getting rich along the way by accident. Some of us are trying to get rich and overthrowing the government along the way by accident. You'll find the people you ask about are in the second group. 
 I'm not here for the engagement.

I'm here to share spicy memes and post politically incorrect opinions.

Though from a relative engagement perspective, nostr beats X by a wide margin. If nostr reaches a million weekly active users, I bet my absolute nostr engagement will surpass X engagement.

 X is also overcrowded with bots. It's hardly worth reading any replies to a post

On top of that, you get shadow banned if you express an opinion that doesn't suit the moderation policy at the moment 
 i think the bots must number over 50%, they use chatgpt too

shadow banning varies from deranking posts, like into 'probable' spam or offensive to completely hiding them, also search bans on names and posts

its a shitheap with no freespeech 
 The dichotomy is between honesty and dishonesty. Everyone is in this for the money.
"Overthrowing the government" 👀 with #Bitcoin is a joke. 
 If you believe that you don't understand just how much power the government gets from having an endless supply of free money. 
 I know, but sadly we are not changing any of that with Bitcoin, we are at their mercy.
