Bitcoin is money. Everyone will use it one day.
DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞
Bitcoin is for enemies.
Everyone you don't like will buy bitcoin and do things you don't like in a way you don't like.
And you will cheer it, because that's the whole point.
If you don't get this, just sell your bitcoin and go back to permissioned money.

I've found a good heuristic to identify bait is anything that starts with "bitcoiners..."
It is this strange thing that brilliant minds don't get it.
He is Greek politician, used to confront the EU & IMF, he still believes that EU is a brothel with unelected people ruling our lives yet he doesn't get it all.
Keep away from these zombies!
This is important for people to understand.
"The state/corporations are bad, we should be outraged that they might keep/hold/buy bitcoin!"
This makes no sense. If they can destroy it by owning it, Bitcoin failed from the start.

He is/was controlled opposition. Just listen to his interviews/talk. 101% retarded
I hope no bank will ever hold bitcoin.
Sadly they will. Because they can and no one can do anything about it

don't have time to lose
retarded, agree
This will be a HARD realization for many people and an attack vector from normies.
“Putin is using bitcoin!”
“Xi is using bitcoin!”
“The ayatollah is using bitcoin!”
Most aren’t ready for this reality yet.
No don't. Complete waste of time. Maybe I should send him a invoice..
Brilliant minds have the biggest blind spots
asking to be paid in sats 😂

Bitcoin was always too good to be niche.
yes permissionless is the whole point
Yes. But I hope to delay them as long as possible.
I’d say “HFSP” but Marxists take that as a compliment. What a douche 😂
He fails to grasp that the rich and powerful would necessarily adopt Bitcoin were it to succeed
When Bitcoin was small, he brushed it off
Now that it is big(ger), he attacks it
Can’t win with these people
The brightest light casts the darkest shadow 🌌
Hmm… “compute” (or Bitcoin, or the wheel) is an amazing new tool. We should adopt it. But if they adopt this new tool it would be bad. Hmm…
Mr. Yanis Varoufakis got it all wrong with Bitcoin a number of years ago. And like so many who had a reputation to lose he can't just BTFD but has to double down and triple down and gaziliioniple down.
LOL, sounds like he didn't buy in
socialism is a mental illness
Yes. There are plenty of large intellectual egos that cannot fathom ever being wrong. Yanis will forever content himself with communal back slapping amongst his Chardonnay socialist, celebrity friends like Eno.
the fact that Varoufakis is not a bitcoiner is the evidence that ego is at play. he is so in love with his techno feudalism narrative he cannot see an alternative path
If you are not for us, you are against us.
I actually agree with him on the title, real bitcoiners don't beg for sTrAtEgIc rEsErVeS or applaud central banks buying it. They need bitcoin, bitcoin does not need them.
Varoufakis is a guy that never had a real job. Always worked for the undemocratic/autocratic state (how many referendums were cast to accept his expenses?, how many people asked about his expenses?). And he's talking about peddling?
These guys will go down in history has the biggest liars of all time.
"And you will cheer it, because that's the whole point."
I can support a technology without endorsing all its uses. Permissionless money can liberate people, but that doesn’t mean I must cheer its role in their oppression.
