Bitcoin would work as a top down mandate. I said it.

These tyrannical theft-based systems we’re living under have to blow themselves up for a proper reset. Violent popular “revolution” isn’t a fix and would very probably lead to worse short and long-term outcomes as has been the case elsewhere. Similarly bitcoin has to be monetized organically to truly work. It can’t come from decree and it can’t happen until the stack is ready. Interestingly bitcoin adoption limits tyrannical behavior in several real ways. At some point we’ll see a death cross between the two and changes will start to accelerate.

Many like you and I’m not here to change your minds. Just more of the same faggotry imo.
I'm very open minded and somewhat trolling but the core of my argument is that I have diminished faith in humanity choosing better money without it being established from the top first. Most people just do what the government says so we should have the government say things we like.
Fiat is already mandated top down by threat of violence and through other forms of coercion. If we switched to Bitcoin filling that same role the world would be a much better place. Anyone who disagrees is a LARP faggot who doesn't actually want to change the world. Just "bro please let everyone do whatever they want". Never going to happen and wouldn't produce good outcomes anyway.
All of history is shaped by leaders who forced things. Nobody and nothing is remembered for the philosophy of "things happen on their own bro just smoke a doink and liberate us all bro".

Many leaders of past did minimal top down micromanaging and just kept peace in their territory and those societies flourished by letting markets make decisions. The more rules, regulations, taxation and top down interventions are put on a society, the more dysfunctional and retarded it becomes. Sorry about your chronic-clownitis. Hope you find a cure but your ignorance has become quite boring to interact with. You finally earned the mute today 🍻

Nobody forced anyone to use gold as a monetary unit for thousands of years. People slowly started using it and destroying lesser forms of currency and sov... Take for example China that went the silver route when the entire world went the gold route. Massive mistake
