Oddbean new post about login | logout State surveillance and theft fudsters are way too bearish. Nihilistic commies who secretly think that the Ingsoc economy is actually viable. Bitcoin kicks off the doom loop of the State by making theft wildly unprofitable, if not impossible. https://image.nostr.build/13111bb4ab844d59a3c88bbf319fb584abc292f44d6fcfe14d8ce447e629b538.jpg
So Tucker thinks his: equities, bonds, land, and bank accounts will just be left alone? “Well the State is so tyrannical with its surveillance that it can track my Bitcoin and won’t let me flee with it, so I won’t buy any. I’ll stick with XYZ assets within the borders of that State instead.” Sorry, what? What kind of mind virus is this?
It’s always incredible when people insist on comparing Bitcoin to some theoretical ideal instead of contrasting it with what they currently own
Exactly
If you were Tucker, would you announce to the world that you're holding Bitcoin?
He said he would be willing to lay down his life for it
Tucker is a well paid actor with a deep state daddy.
he sounds pretty ignorant about how Bitcoin works.
Ok, North Korea is an example. It can happen locally/temporarily and if it looks like it’s coming for your location, get out beforehand. But big picture, once the Bitcoin flywheel gets going, such totalitarian governments won’t last or rise ever again. The best tool for resisting the State’s tyranny towards Bitcoin is…Bitcoin.
This is more accurate than it seems 😂 Bitcoin is headed for the Theft pillar (sound money and all that), after that pillar goes down, the Surveillance one remains (symbolic because of Bitcoin L1 total surveillance), and then The State, now unstable because the other pillar fell, falls down mightily on Bitcoin.
Where's the "Force" & "Monopoly" pillars? I mean we are taking down the whole roof, right? 🤫
These are the two pillars of the State’s revenue. No revenue, no force or monopoly either.
I've been thinking about your statement. I've seen some really broke (wallet/mind broke) people exert force and by extension monopolize the attackee... It seems that the closer to zero fiat digits and zero mind blips, the attackor is, the more the attackor is motivated to exert force/monopoly... Not that you're wrong, I just want to aim at the most effective pillar...
Money is superordinate. No funding or prospect of return, no force.
