You of all people must know there are a good many examples throughout history where superior strategy overcame sheer quantity of soldiers.
reply
Yes but does a truly decentralised P2P payments algorithm even have the capacity to have a conscious strategy vs the worlds most powerful and deeply entrenched fiat debt slavery bankers cartel that owns most governments and their military-industrial complex imperatives?
reply
It's an unconcious strategy. That's why it's superior. We didn't plan the route from drug dealing to online poker to the presidency. It just worked, because people instinctively seek out the best form of money as a means of self-preservation, elites included. Your nihilistic framework doesn't explain the success we've already attained.
reply
A declining empire and its weak and debasing currency is certainly helpful but there is no such thing as an unconscious strategy.
That is a pure oxymoron nonsense.
Strategy must be conscious to be strategy.
There is also nothing nihilistic about my worldview.
On the contrary I constantly point out that humans are very much a competitive and conscious life form that forms groups for security and economic advantage and that in that context all analysis must be considered.
Evolution is not nihilistic but scientific.
Your implied assertion that governments are inherently 'wrong' or 'inefficient' is lacking in logic, evidence and historical proof of work. Just because markets can in many cases but not all, work well when operating under the benign oversight of good government does not mean government is not important.
The history, logic and evidence all strongly indicate governments are a significant factor in the wealth of nations.

The adoption of Bitcoin as global reserve currency and subsequent world peace is evidence that statism failed.

No, it would only be a manifestation of a post industrial digital era gold analogue.
There would still be governments, perhaps slightly more accountable and honest and significantly less owned and controlled by rentseeking debt slavery Jewish bankers.
Bitcoin use for trade payments does not even account for 0.00000001% of global trade suggesting that the state imposed fiat MoE strategic monopoly remains largely intact.
Bitcoin has already been largely slyly subverted into a harmless speculative commodity plaything role where it is taxed and tracked and traced and increasingly held in the cold custody of bankers associates who never allow it to be used for MoE.
Much like they did with gold already...

That's why there's an outsized benefit to buying it now while it's still niche. That's the unconcious strategy at work. The anti-state libertatians acquire the most Bitcoin at the lowest price, while statists tend to buy in late.
reply
Lol those who buy with intent for fiat denominated speculative gain are already captive to the fiat debt slavery bankers cartels sly strategy of narrative and protocol capture and control.
Dumbass greedy Libertarian hypocrits.
Those who acquired the most Bitcoin at the lowest price were the freethinking geeks, freaks and punks who had already realised the neoliberal/Jewish bankers had infiltrated and corrupted the wests political process and enslaved the masses and governments to endless non productive speculative fiat debt servitude.
Bitcoin is responding to the decline of western civilisation but its not here to save it.
Humiliation will come before true revival. Bitcoin might just enable the preservation a few seeds of our cultural heritage amidst the coming onslaught.
reply
You keep calling Bitcoin speculative. It's information asymmetry. If I know that eventually Bitcoin is the thing that everyone works for, I have an advantage if I buy it before them, before they realize they need it.
