Bitcoin is absolutely not "Resistance Money". The people who falsely characterise it in this stupid way overlap perfectly with people who have never encrypted their email and who don't understand what the lock in their browser means.
Bitcoin is perfectly ordinary, and a natural extension of what you already do every day without even realising it.
Bitcoin is no more "Resistance Money" than WhatsApp is "Resistance Phone Calls". The stupidity of this mischaracterization, even over ten years after Bitcoin was released is breathtaking.
And who do these people think they're helping by misleading people in this way? They already believe, incorrectly, that Bitcoin is a tool to "(((RESIST))) OPPRESSION" with and not a mundane tool for everyone every day in every context money is used.
By mischaracterising Bitcoin as some sort of challenge to authority, legitimate or illigitimate, they're fomenting resistance to it and not helping spread it. If they understood that spreading Bitcoin helps it help the needy, they would not talk like this....
But what do you expect from people who believe that Bitcoin needs "policy" (PROTIP: it doesn't).
Thankfully, despite these INGSOCS, Bitcoin will do exactly what it was designed to do. I can say this because I know something (and many things; that's now proven) that they don't.
And...I'M NOT TELLING.
