Speaking of rogue money, this quote from the show Andor is pretty awesome. I was reminded of it yesterday.
"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrections are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try."

Just finished the series yeasterday, really coo. A bit cringe sometimes but overall very inspiring, rebellious...
I admit that I really liked this series a lot. There was a libertarian ethos in the OG Star Wars that this revived very well.
Excellent series. Have you seen the Bitcoin version 😂 h/t @yellow

all empires do fall, but they get replaced with other empires, never with freedom.
you defeat a monster by becoming one.
in fact whenever a government is overthrown the new one is usually worse.
just look at Ukraine ( where i am from ) as an example. every time they have a regime change it just keeps getting worse and worse.
governments keep getting more tyrannical because rising productivity means more is available for stealing.
eventually when productivity becomes infinite so will the tyranny.
this is the only disney+ original worth watching.
finite resources versus infinite productivity is an equation that must be balanced.
with infinite tyranny.
Haven't watched Andor. Way too many Star Wars spin offs IMO. Is it worth watching?
Perhaps the best StarWars series of all time. Easily my top 5
I had my expectations low but Andor was surprisingly good. Best of star wars in the last decade imo.
As someone who had the same worries and exhausted of (mostly sub par or garbage) star wars content... Yes, worth the watch.
I thought mandalorian season1 was the best of SW in the sequel era, but Andor blows em all out of the water.
Disney+ supports tyranny not freedom, watch by all means. but watch in moderation.
The only Star Wars production in decades thjat's worth watching.
LOVE Andor. & this is such a great, universal quote.
In fact, the whole time period in the Star Wars universe centered on the rise of the rebellion, from Obi-wan's miniseries up until my namesake blows up the death star, has an extremely bitcoin rebellion ethos. That includes the following series & movies: (In chrono order)
*Obi-wan Kenobi (miniseries)
*Rebels (Animated series)
*Andor (Livce-action Series)
*Rogue One (Movie)
*Star Wars A New Hope (Movie)
The best star wars movie ever, IMHO, is Rogue One, but it's hard to pick the better series between Andor and Rebels. Sure, the animation feels chincey with Rebels but the story is oh-so-good, and 100% cannon. In fact, the new live-action Ahsoka series is a direct continuation of the Rebels story set years later.
As bitcoiners we should all absorb every quote and lesson that Andor, Rebels, and Rogue One have to offer us. They were made for us more than anyone else.
Evolution is an act of insurrection.
oh
Buen discurso 👌

One of my favorite quotes:
"The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it."
- Andor, S1-E5 - The Axe Forgets
@lemon translate this video to Spanish por favor
I watch the Mandalorian and the book of Boba using a friend's account. I don't pay Disney for entertainment because they're more or less not interested in it.
True enough. And it's not just governments and nation states anymore. Facebook has a user base of 3 billion people. There's corporate states now as well and they can often times weild a far more influence than the latter.
