The ECB dropped a report effectively saying if Bitcoin appreciates in value that those owning it are maliciously extracting wealth from others. They're projecting. Even the last person on the planet to adopt Bitcoin will be directionally better off once they make the shift. We're protecting ourselves from pickpockets and the thieves are accusing us of stealing. image

Honestly, forget this report. It’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. Normally, it would be forgotten immediately if you all weren’t reporting on it. But somehow, some Bitcoiners seem to be too attention-seeking to simply ignore what is obviously false and worthless. View quoted note →

The ECB will be the last CB to buy, when it is the only way out of a Euro collapse.

This is gaslighting at its finest. I call these distractions to delay Bitcoin adoption. It is not a matter of if, though, when.

Wake your friend up. It isn’t theft [it is…?] from a system robbing, especially the poorer— blind! The audacity is beyond. The rhetoric and lies means there is plenty of fear regarding a new system that can shatter the old.

I think they're saying that because they want to be the only ones extracting wealth from the population via the money printer and inflation.
