Thanks for asking.🙏🏻👍😀

Participation in the apparatus of nation-states has historically only increased state power via the baked-in operation of the Hegelian dialectic; in contrast, bitcoin itself is a shining example of a better path, namely, the creation of superior systems that inherently withdraw power from the state.

We're having this conversation via another exemplary "freedom technology," namely nostr, a tool that eliminates the state's power to silence and censor.😆

I'm deeply grateful that every individual who contributed to the creation of these two revolutionary technologies used their time and energy to build new tools, rather than to battle the old system.🫂

Perhaps you feel you can accomplish more taking the state head on by voting or running for office; and perhaps, in your personal situation and given your history, you may be absolutely correct?

However, many of us choose to listen to Jesus, Ghandi, Ayn Rand, Larken Rose, and others who believe we can do far better by creating NEW systems, built on radically different, morally superior foundational principles. We expect the state to ultimately self-destruct, collapsing under its own weight.

For anyone who may be interested in considering an alternative approach to saving the world, here are my own collected writings on the topic:
