I thought it was clear which single issue I'm referring to which is your denial of bitcoin being used as a MoE.

Here you said it was only us here on stacker news. That's silly. Have you been to Vancouver Canada? Austin texas? Kenya?
I'm not going to dig them out but you constantly tell people that bitcoin will never be used as an MoE because of government issued tax laws. Of the bitcoiners, some care, sure, but not the majority.
To be clear It's only this very specific rhetoric you spread that I find silly. I don't have the knowledge or experience to agree or disagree with a lot of other rhetoric that you spam around SN so you won't find me commenting on that.
I have never denied bitcoin is 'being used as a MoE' and so your assertion that it was clear that was what you were referring to is nonsensical.
'Here you said it was only us here on stacker news.'
Except I did not say that.
You are misrepresenting what I wrote.
Here is what I actually wrote-
'Bitcoin is barely used globally as a MoE except on SNs!'
Here is my full comment for context-
'Payments hegemony historically derives from trade dominance.
USA was the dominant nation in global manufacturing when it gained monetary hegemony.
As was Britain.
Now China is the dominant global economy in terms of production of manufactured goods and consumption of commodities.
Bitcoin may have a role as a neutral SoV refuge / safe haven for wealth and capital but in terms of trade payments (ie SWIFT) China is trending and positioned to gain dominance way ahead of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is barely used globally as a MoE except on SNs!'
So in the context of Bitcoin competing for MoE with the fiat systems I stand by the assertion that BTC is HUGELY obstructed and has only achieved very limited MoE adoption...for example on Bitcoin Maxi enclaves like SNs where we are mostly operating in subtle but explicit defiance of the law because when we do use BTC as a MoE here on SN we are almost all breaching our respective tax jurisdictions by not recording each and every zap and paying the tax due.
This is the absurd extent of sly BTC MoE obstruction by the state which I have repeatedly raised and which you ignore.
It is a huge problem because most people are not going to risk breaking the law in order to use Bitcoin as a MoE.
Can you address this issue or would you rather ignore it???
