The core philosophy of Bitcoin is to be an alternative to the state, not a new asset class for it. You can't be the resistance if the government is buying your ammunition. Can we truly be a rebellion for change if our "enemy" is a co-owner of our primary asset to do so? #asknostr

That’s exactly right !! The govt want to half centralized btc , and it achieved with dilution with other coin (e.g eth , usdt ) in-the network . Man will see new variation of BTC network such as ( btc core v30c, knots , knobs and many more to come ) that enabling those coins using on btc chain .

How do you stop the state from buying and why should you?

You sound like a fed, but I'll answer anyways: To late to stop them from buying. Cats out the bag. Started with the ETF and bitcoiners clapping for it. Enslavement just under a new system. 20yrs or less and you will need to KYC to get online to access your sats. They can't stop it. They must contain it.

The bitcoiners clapping for etf's changed nothing. Maybe if they voted Biden though..? 🤔

I'm still confused how freedom fighters think voting for someone to rule over them means freedom... I'll have to get back to you on this question once I figure it out.

Problem stater. As you say there’s nothing you can do but… blame the podcasters? Whoever wants bitcoin should (and obv can) be able to freely obtain it. Even your sworn enemy. Everything should be done to *increase* the ability to obtain it. Especially paper bitcoin holders (ETFs). The key holders actually have some value not an IOU and there’s a decent chance Saylor has to hand over the bitcoin to the government one day anyway. So that just makes me stronger.

voting is just outsourcing your pixel placement to someone else. true freedom is painting your own corner of the canvas at

I'm old enough to remember when bitcoin was supposed to be a new financial system. Now it's just supposed to be a new reserve currency underpinning the existing system. Never trade in your hoodie for a suit.

Agreed. Reserves are reserves. Any asset class that's viable will be held in reserve as collateral.

And they can’t manipulate it since it’s not proof of stack

Well it may be similar to the microstrategy Struct, where Coinbase holds the actual reserves on behalf of the custodian. Similar to how London vaults are meant to hold the gold. Where the issue comes into question, who else is declaring their stack off the same wallet address?

Collapsing the dollar and transitioning to hard money eliminates the power of being one of the guys with the money printers

Nobody cares that they are using the money printer to buy through various businesses? Ya know you set up the LCC that's owned by the holding company that's owned by the trust right? Same kinda shit trumps doing with trump coin so he can say "it's not me making money from it" 🤷

Leaving us enslaved under the new system. I assume it will be one of surveillance given current trajectory.

Perhaps. This is why some things are more important than Bitcoin (especially things Bitcoin itself relies on, like privacy)

Do you know about Monero? That's where the real fighting takes place for years. Not identifiable for plebs and maxis because: price. Still don't get it? They fight it by surpressing prices beyond other things.

Have you heard about our Lord and saviour Monero 😂

Nope, the core philosophy of bitcoin is being P2P money that doesn't use third parties to transact, do you read the whitepaper? Yes we can, if state can't control that asset, but if they can they don't co-own, they own and in my vision they already own it, they only do not exercize any measures of control because they don't need to do it. While Bitcoin mining is centralized, bitcoin has no chance of being free.

It's not an alternative to States. It's an alternative FOR States to choose, opposed to empowering centralized monetary powers. First they will buy it but the end goal for sovereign Bitcoin based balance sheets and households is to peacefully destroy those centralized monetary powers, not the States themselves. We have history books full of Revolution. We don't want that but if we have to do that, we now have a new choice available to the following replacement State.
