A lot of people seem to have trouble comprehending that you can be highly critical of the government AND appreciate the historical significance of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Executive Order… “OH SO YOU WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO HOLD BITCOIN??” It’s not about *want* — it’s just reality. SBR creation was the inevitable result of Bitcoin’s success. If Bitcoin was NOT winning, there would be no nation-state adoption. Since Bitcoin IS winning, nation-state bitcoin adoption is inevitable. I know, winning feels weird. You better get used to it. You were right about Bitcoin, and all your friends, the media, and Elizabeth Warren were wrong. The most powerful nation on the planet just confirmed what you’ve been ranting about for years. Bitcoin is money for enemies. Deal with it. Every individual, company, and country will naturally try to accumulate as many possible units as they can of the only verifiably finite asset on the planet. “BUT I DONT WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO OWN BITCOIN!!” Too bad. Bitcoin doesn’t care. “BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SEPARATION OF MONEY AND STATE?!” Bitcoin *already* separated money and state; it separated the CREATION of money from state. “WE SHOULD STOP THE GOVERNMENT FROM HOLDING BITCOIN!” It’s impossible to stop the state, or anyone, from holding Bitcoin, because Bitcoin doesn’t care who you are and can’t discriminate. The same rules apply to everyone. That’s kind of the whole point. Anyway, follow @THE Bitcoin Podcast image

"Bitcoin doesn't care" is false. WE ARE THE BITCOIN Us the people do care that the government has an unfair advantage to stack the world's hardest currency while also controlling conditions of our ability to do so. It's just you that doesn't care.
No. The eo says they will continue civil asset forfeiture to accumulate bitcoin. That is literally theft and many times things are simply seized without crimes being committed
It's an incentive to confiscate tainted coins, while the definition of taint gets retroactively applied to all of the history of this lovely transparent, yet unfortunately non-fungible coin. People are celebrating wars these days, so it's no wonder they also celebrate future theft from Bitcoiners. Hail fiat NGU!
My only reservation is the state doesn't hesitate to use violence to get what it wants. But you're right, this is inevitable. One of the many tests bitcoin must pass.
Bitcoin was always going to reprogram the world, never 'f*** the system'. Not very satisfying to the impatient.
Love those words. Bitcoin is a game of incentives, and governments, just like individuals and corporations, are bound by them. The SBR isn’t about “want” or “approval”, it’s about inevitability. If Bitcoin were failing, nation-states wouldn’t even bother. The fact that they are now forced to take it seriously confirms what we’ve known all along: Bitcoin is the hardest money humanity has ever seen. The separation of money and state was never about preventing governments from holding Bitcoin. It’s about stripping them of their monopoly on money creation. The game has changed, and Bitcoin sets the new. rules. Winners recognize the new reality and adapt. Losers keep screaming at the clouds I guess 🤷‍♂️🧡🗽

Can’t argue with that, but still have concerns 🤔
Separating the *creation* of money from state is the key here, very good point. The beauty of bitcoin is that it puts the nation state on the same level as the individual! At some point, the state will *have* to start accepting Bitcoin as legal tender, otherwise they will miss out on a lot of tax money. Then people will truly discard fiat, the authority of the state will shrink drastically, and liberty will come back. We have an exciting future, and there's nothing statists can do about it.

My enemies be pumping my bags with their BTC demand. Deal with it
Excellent clarity. All governments suck AND Bitcoin is winning.
Good question about Bhutan. I don’t know any details about that government - so I should be careful about making generalizations that are absolute rather than just extremely broad.
No worries I am on the same camp, I am not sure what is happening there. Everything I see could also be propaganda.
State adoption proves Bitcoin’s victory—forcing the parasite to kneel. But it exposes the bootlickers who cheer Leviathan. True bitcoin maxis demand secession, not symbiosis.
