Stop smoking your hopium and snacking popcorn while listening to your favorite Youtube influencer who probably brainwashed you for years by telling you that states will embrace Bitcoin if we just educate them hard enough and by selling you some bs narrative about regulatory-compliant Bitcoin. If you want regulatory-compliant money, I’ve good news for you. You already have one. It’s your local currency. If you want better money, then please go ahead, vote, engage in political debates and see what happens. Expect to get canceled very quickly and portrayed as a right-winger, nazi or “anti-democratic” like politicans and mainstream journalists do with people who criticize the Euro and want back the Deutsche Mark or gold. Explain to politicians why freedom of transacting privately is essential and you’ll be associated with terrorism and money laundering. That’s why they crack down on their own cash money and now you think for some magical reason they would like people transacting privately if they just use bitcoin instead of cash? Ridiculous. We wouldn’t need Bitcoin in the first place if we could have achieved good money via political debates or voting. In fact we have Bitcoin, because we could not.

Learn how states operate. States don’t like sound money, they never did, and their hunger for power and control is limitless and with an increasing pace the more things start to become nasty. It’s just in their nature and has always been. While drowning in the swamp of debt they won’t shake your hands and say “well played bitcoiner, stack more”. If you naively think of Bitcoin just as an regulatory-compliant investment you probably missed the point entirely. Prepare for being hunted. They will come after your bitcoin, they will tax the shit out of you or point-blank 6102 you as soon as Bitcoin starts to pose a serious threat to the governments money printer.

I know this all sucks, but this is exactly what was foreseen decades ago and why Bitcoin was developed. It’s a permissionless and very powerful tool for you, as an individual, for opting out and building systems around.
