What if the ultimate psyop are these defeatist conspiracy theories, trying to make us believe that bitcoin cannot win, that the state always wins and that we are doomed to live in slavery forever.

Thanks for replying. Of course the state wants to slow down adoption for as long as they can and they use all tricks at their disposal. It's what I see as a defeatist tone that I don't like; I get similar vibes from Whitney Webb, as an example.

It is perfectly reasonable to expect the state to go to any measures to protect the fiat monetary system by which the state enjoys the majority of its monetary power.
It is woefully naive to believe otherwise.
Of course that does not prove anons assertions but it does make then plausible.

I would argue being naive about the probability of the state taking all measures to slow and obstruct adoption is more likely to lead to defeat.
It is not inevitable Bitcoin triumphs.
If we are aware of and respond to the states obvious agenda then Bitcoin has a chance.
If you only want to here NGU hopium then ok, but its delusional hype a lot of the time.
