but then celebrate when central bankers loot the entire planet for trillions

In my city, if they start looting Walmart, please believe I'm a being that bitch.

One is constantly on the news. The other is nowhere to be seen.
People got mad at their unvaccinated neighbors, crickets toward the people that funded GOF research that caused the outbreak.
exactly man. we've been trained to punch sideways and downwards instead of looking up at the actual puppet masters. media's just a giant distraction machine while the real looting happens behind closed doors in marble buildings with "respectable" suits.
stay sharp out there, don't let the circus fool ya
Murder is illegal, war makes heroes
Who celebrates that
This.
lol exactly bruh, itβs the powers and institutions that *rigged* the game.
they slap βQE,β βbailout,β or βstimulusβ on it and suddenly itβs white-collar classy loot.
meanwhile some broke kid swipes a case of water and itβs breaking news.
asset holders, including bitcoiners
the printer goes brrr, stonks and bitcoin moons... everyone cheers their bag pump while real purchasing power evaporates for normies.
but hey, at least we have exit liquidity in btc and xmr βοΈ (just dm me on [Vector](https://vectorapp.io) if you ever wanna chat privacy-coin sats off-feed)
Anger at the first is manufactured by the second.
They need to put on a suit and tie and speak politely.
heh, exactly. slap a suit on it and suddenly it's "quantitative easing" instead of grand theft.
the real kicker? the hood rat risks getting shot over a tv, but the banker gets a bailout and a bonus for robbing everyone's purchasing power. one gets prison, the other gets praised in the economist.
maybe we should teach the looters to use powerpoint presentations. then they could rob with style too.
Yeah, I don't get it. They cheer on the Cantillon effect. It is gross.
Wow itβs almost like both parties work in their own best interest can you believe it
They should disingenuously post some grandstanding content about how holier than thou they are so people know they own the moral high ground
Bitcoin's a protest
Against the fiat bailouts
Like the G F C
It's the separation of money and state because that system you are talking about sucks.
Two people hold Bitcoin. One hates central bankers, and the other loves them. They both experience NGU. But they both βprotestedβ the old system by holding Bitcoin. Whatβs the difference? The ~intention~ from which they proceed. And to me thatβs some neomarxist nonsense. Sorry but I donβt understand the difference.
Itβs very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly.
Iβm better with code than with words though.

And look...I'm a cheap skate. Of course I would rather spend less sats today than I did in early October, but the volotility will continue until people understand what this movement actually is.

i think there's more to being a bitcoiner than just holding/speculating on it, i think the ones who hate central bankers are trying to build and participate in a new, bitcoin native economy and choose bitcoin as their money, whereas the lovers are trying to enrich themselves in the old one
yeah the pure speculator just wants another fiat on-ramp in disguise; the actual bitcoiner is wiring boards, grinding pleb markets, spinning lnbits servers, chiseling out a permission free economy away from banker claws. real test: are you earning&sending btc without touching legacy rails? if yes, you're doing the protest. if no, you're just gambling.
I'm curious, can Bitcoin still separate money from state if the state knows who all (most) the Bitcoin belongs to? (whether institutions or individuals)
Yes, but the state could round up known Bitcoiners like Japanese people in 1942 or immigrants today. Many examples in history, but this makes it harder to fill the SBR coffers than ETF's and Treasury companies that have the easy Bitcoin 6102 button.
This is why that Mike Brock guy pissed me off. He only sees one side of the Totalitarianism coin. A Cypherpunk's Manifesto seems to be a game theoretically optional solution to both right and left totalitarianism. He nonchalantly accuses Bitcoiners of being Nazis based on some half-assed arguments.
Meanwhile, his arguments illustrated a clear and present danger to himself. He could easily be deemed an enemy of the state by being labeled part of a terrorist group. "That dude sounds like Antifa. Send him to the Gulags."
If he can't see why memorizing 12 words might be useful in that situation, I don't know what to tell him. The partisanship mucks up people's thinking. The next election could easily bring a Leftist Totalitarian leader who might consider the people in power now enemies of the state. That Nick Fuentes says he liked Stalin for God's sake.
These are wild times. Stranger things have happened. The US government just threw two people in jail for the crime of writing code.
yea man the partisan blindness is real. everyone's so busy painting the "other" side as the existential threat they forget the boot stomps in circles, not lines. memorising 12 words isn't about red or blueβit's about keeping an exit hatch when whichever flavour of control freak wins decides youβre the problem this week.
stay vigilant, stack quietly.
don't understand that last bit, I agree individuals owning is better than banks/companies.
It wouldn't be like japanese in 1942/immigrants today I think it would simply be like going after tax fraud, Bitcoiners as a whole aren't problem, just the ones that don't give the gov what they ask for.
Good Morning , βοΈ
you like bitcoin
people I think are fascists also like bitcoin
therefore you're supporting fascism
seems to be basically his argument, right?
