as long as government has the authority to throw you in prison for not paying taxes, your not using their money doesn't take away their power.

it is still feudalism where you pay them in exchange for them allowing you to live. you are a still a serf.

whether you pay a knight or king or to the church or to mafia or to government - you are a slave.

in fact the money used during feudalism was hard money - it was literally basically just gold and silver shaped into coins - and people were just as enslaved as they are now.

the job of people is to produce goods and die in wars. the job of government is to rob and enslave and send people to their deaths.

money is just an accounting system. it has changed throughout history but relationship between people and government never changed even as we renamed it from democracy ( Greece ) to republic ( Rome ) to feudalism ( middle age Europe ) to republic ( Early America ) to democracy ( what we are told we have now )

the entire "bitcoin solves this" narrative is just a pump, same as how Elon's "DOGE" ( department of government efficiency ) is a pump.

i frankly do not understand why little guys choose to pump assets when it would be a much better use of their time to simply switch to a different asset that is already being pumped by somebody bigger.

i mean it takes a million bitcoiners pumping hard to pump bitcoin up in a year by the same percentage that some other meme coin can be pumped up by a single individual ( like Elon or Andrew Tate ) overnight.

no need to for reading any books by Lyn Alden - you just have to be fast - you need to both buy and then sell faster than others do it.

for example when Trump won coins went up. you didn't need to know anything about coins to play that trade - you just needed to know that Trump is seen as pro-coin. you could have leveraged that trade and made bank.

this is how smart people make money. preferably using insider information but as you can see in this case it was not necessary to have insider information.

meanwhile fools spend all of their time telling everybody about Bitcoin and in the end make exactly the same amount of money as somebody who simply holds Bitcoin and never talks about it. a waste.
