I also find government abuse intolerable. We have different solutions to the problem in mind.
You sound ready to move to El Salvador. Some of us want to remain here (in “the west”) and fight for the average person’s liberty and right to use Bitcoin freely and live their lives the way they choose.
“If you don't have enough social credit….”
-A real community will trade directly with each other using bitcoin, no one cares about our “credit score” or “social score”.
BTW- I don’t think any small business will turn down customers offering to pay with the best money ever made.
The market drives policy- and the market for fiat paper is shrinking by the minute.
Bitcoin is here as perfect money, but it is the bitcoiners who will change the world. Don’t give up on us yet.
I'm not giving up on bitcoiners 🧡, regardless of where they choose to be. I was talking about the Western society. I don't feel I have been treated well by it throughout my life, but that's independent of bitcoin. It's just that bitcoin is bringing all that to light and has set me on a diverging path from the currently prevailing Western values. I guess that had I been treated well by society, now I would feel threatened by bitcoin and I would be one of those bitcoin haters, who knows. So maybe there is a silver lining to the whole thing.
The community aspect you mention is one of the most important things IMO. Is that related to the "Silk Road model" or do you see it as a different thing?
Not ready to move to El Salvador (don't want to be at the mercy of Bukele, and I'm waiting to see how things develop worldwide), but I'm going to visit the country this year for the first time.

good vibes brother. Silk road model for me means max anon used for explicit trade. on the run from gov
Community trade would be the opposite, local farmers and workers trading with each other over lightning directly without worry
