Have to admit my instinctive reaction is very negative on the guy and the “Bitcoin is a weapon” take. Not sure I can ever come to terms with that viewpoint. Bitcoin is voluntary and peaceful and I see any narrative to the contrary as harmful.

Bitcoin is power. Monetary power, projected into the anarchic global space. Weapons are power, and we project them into the anarchic global space. Equivalence is not equality. Bitcoin is like raw physical violence. It is not violence.
It can perform the same permissionless trustless function of resisting the exploitation of a belief or code system, run by some admins or leaders, but uniquely it is entirely peaceful in doing it.
