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 “protested” the old system by holding Bitcoin. What’s the difference? The ~intention~ from which they proceed. And to me that’s some neomarxist nonsense. Sorry but I don’t understand the difference.
It’s very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly.
I’m 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'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.
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.
