 The core problem is that bitcoin is a territory of freedom, but it's a territory with no economy. 

It's a territory that imports everything from the fiat Dominion. 

This is why we are dependent on the fiat authorities. They gatekeep access to all the stuff we want. 

We can solve this problem by creating our own economy, and we do this by being more productive and more efficient than the fiat Dominion. 

The global economy is currently dependent on slavery. We need it to become dependent on our freedom. 

When they attack us, we need the economic teeth to enforce our rights and cause serious damage to the attacker. They do this to us today - comply or lose access to the fiat economy. Bitcoiners need to be productive enough that this flips the other way around - attack our freedom and lose access to the bitcoin economy.
