Attacking a peaceful individual is an act ow war. The crime of the highest kind. It's up to the wielder of the weapon, or tool to choose their actions. We are not rushing to ban hammers because someone chose to use a nail conveyance protocol to bash in heads, now are we?
We are not banning baseball conveyance protocols either, or any other tools that can actually be used both defensively, and aggressively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suiIvUnqfM0
Even though #bitcoin is a tool, a weapon, a asset-message conveyance protocol, it CANNOT be used aggressively. Why? Because it is fundamentally voluntary. You could force one to use bitcoin at gunpoint, but you can't bend the protocol itself to become aggressive.
Sure, El Salvador or any other nation state might mandate the use of #bitcoin , which is categorically coercion to achieve compliance, not adoption, an act of aggression on peaceful individuals. That doesn't change the base protocol of bitcoin. Tick, tock, next block.
Here it gets a bit tricky. Those unwilling to adopt a #bitcoin standard will be left behind. As @saifedean npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak eloquently put it, "History shows it is not possible to insulate yourself from the consequences of others holding money that is harder than yours."
The geopolitical flipping will get very real in the near future, as individuals most suffering of fiat-induced hyperinflation are compelled to adopt #bitcoin standard sooner, and thus wield more power in the future than laggards. Welcome to free market game of stock and hold.
I understand the urge to call early adoption as weaponizing #btc to gain geopolitical advantage over others. But it's no different than choosing to buy apples from a cheaper vendor instead a more expensive one. It's free market. Those who won't adapt, choose the consequences.
We're conscious, intelligent beings and yes, our actions have consequences. Deal with them. Everything that happens is a direct or indirect response to our actions as an individual. In other words, we choose the world we live in. We choose war or peace, fiat or #bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a weapon. Now, fucking learn how to wield it to defend yourself and your loved ones from the tyrants that would have you for a fool. A tool. A mule. Or suffer the consequences of your own actions. Peace. Love. #bitcoin.
