Darkness believes their plans if “left alone” and not having a light shone on it will fester and metastasize and grow in a “free market”. Probably right a lot of times. they are basically saying they want the vast majority of people who aren’t paying attention to be scammed and be unaware of what they are doing.
They forget to remember that the “free market” is always trying to disinfect darkness with light; there to find the best used cases for their time and energy and people EDUCATING others about the truth is part of that free market process.
This is why you have good old boys, clubs, or subsidies or artificial interventions, or regulations. They are there to keep competition away and keep the darkness from seeing the light of day.
That doesn’t bode well for scammers and Fiat Maxis.
Scammers can get away for short periods of time, but eventually in long enough time horizons, truth always wins.
When someone gets Bitcoin you don’t need to “talk about Bitcoin” and you can actually have a free flowing natural conversation with them about things in life that matter. They see the world for what it is and we can move forward and “progress.”
When someone doesn’t grok Bitcoin they are generally stuck talking about non-sense; red versus blue politics, “did you catch the game last night”, whataboutism, “remember when,” media narratives, entertainment, gambling and sedation, eating seed oils, taking endless pills and wearing chemical sunscreens, etc etc..surface level BS.
Once you escape the matrix the real world opens up and the veil is lifted. Very hard to have conversations with those who have taken the blue pill and can’t see life in its true light and beauty.
This is what gold bugs, crypto bros, and fiat maxis cannot see: They are still stuck inside the crab cage. How do you tell a fish he’s wet if he’s been in the water his whole life? How does one know they are still stuck in an inflationary fiat paper world controlled by owners of that system IF their very dependence and livelihood is linked to that system NOT failing?
The properties of Bitcoin and the study you have to to undergo through humility is the price you have to pay in order to see the light. Most are not willing, or even know that challenge exists.
I don’t know it all. I know I don’t know it all.
The problem is; most of humanity believes so much, that isn’t so. There in lies the thin veil of deception and scales on the eyes.
