 Bitcoin is possibly the most effective way to take down the powers that be, though it is not a quick win, but it has shown they have weaknesses. Bitcoin exploits one, showing that anybody having the power to decide monetary policy is possibly the most dangerous weapon to enslave. 
 I do not really have much faith in AI, or Quantum Computing. Google has now combined the two and talk about Quantum AI, but I think this is mostly hype since it does not seem like they have the ability to actually build a functional quantum computer anytime soon. 
 the powers in charge seems to want to make everybody using bitcoin (or possibly any crypto, like monero that is a step up in privacy) a criminal, just by making it illegal to use bitcoin or privacy coins (monero).
A lot of cryptos are not worth the time, bitcoin is good monero seems okay and perhaps cardano. I don't really care so much for other coins I stick to bitcoin for the most part though. 
 Bitcoin has rules? Nakamoto the emperor? nostr:note19p2f20lhup8epp2ctthw7gp4zc0967qxv9ukatwht2v53... 
 there is just one, don't sell :)
 
 First rule of bitcoin, never sell! 
 frankly Code of Conduct's are terrible, I don't want to be cuddled if I did a bad thing, just tell me I am an idiot and get it over with already. Just get some thick skin or get out? 
 indeed, if they do not like the way a project is run, they are free to leave. 
 I did, frankly that is the only one I would agree to, though code quality should not necessarily be the only way to avoid being cancelled. Some people can learn to make great code and thus can become a valuable contributor, the road to that might be hard. 
 sounds entirely fair. 
 fractal banking is not great, if we ever end that system, lets remember why we should not embrace it ever again.
