There are 2 types of people. Those who believe in authority, and those that don't. If you come across someone who believes they have authority over you, and they're supported by a system of other people that says they have authority over you, treat them like you would a gorilla.
You can't reason with a gorilla, talk to a gorilla, or fight a gorilla and win. A gorilla is a dangerous animal, they have no actual authority over you but they believe they do and they have the ability to kill you if you disagree.
You bow down, you make the gorilla believe they're in charge and you are not. If you make the gorilla believe you are subservient to them, they are more likely to leave you alone largely intact.
Like it or not might makes right, "he who has the Gold makes the rules", and those who command the most economic energy are in charge until they aren't. Unfortunately for us, it is authoritarians who in today's world have near total control of the most important good required for a truly free market: money.
Governments every year spend more value, acquired through theft and devaluation, than the value of the entire Bitcoin network combined. But as they do that balance is shifting little by little every day, the more they devalue their networks the weaker they become. It won't be much longer until Bitcoin's exponential growth and the Dollar's exponential devaluation reach a major tipping point and everything changes exponentially fast. Until then, bow to the gorillas in public while fighting them in private.
Understand that there is little point to open conflict, we have already won! We won't win by conflict with them, we win by outcompeting them. Bitcoin is spreading across the world like an out of control wildfire and it cannot be stopped. The world needs better money and while Gold and Silver are great physical trade units, they those and fell on that backs of the authorities that made them too many times in history to be trusted again. Bitcoin fixes everything wrong with money, it's literally just sovereign tokens of values of time (average block time divided by block reward) and energy (average hashrate divided by block reward) and both values are constantly growing.
Imagine Bitcoin powered hospitals, Bitcoin powered food kitchens, Bitcoin powered fire departments, Bitcoin powered schools, Bitcoin powered factories, Bitcoin powered everything. With Bitcoin, just acquire a critical mass of Satoshis and spend them slower than they grow and you'll never run out of money. No obedience to arbitrary rules given by authoritarians needed.
The world doesn't get better out of nowhere, the world gets better when Bitcoin grows big enough that Bitcoiners spend more money and build more services that provide more value to society than the fiat money printers do.
That day is closer than you think.

I love it. I love you guys (meaning all y'all reading this), and I'm excited for the future we're building.
My tolerance for bullshit is basically gone.
#Bitcoin Mining difficulty, vs production cost, vs price, over the last 3 years.
They are deeply related.
