199 sats \ 3 replies \ @Se7enZ 2 Mar \ on: Here is the Saylor message in a nutshell bitcoin
Lurking on SN today, I've appreciated @DarthCoin's activity on both this post, as well as another post about war and defending one's homeland with violence. I decided to watch Saylor's presentation for myself, and while I indeed find the the first half so far a little cringe, I was struck with the following quote at around 25:00:
If we want to eliminate war and conflict and violence, we really want all our enemies to settle their differences in a fair, equitable fashion. And the fair, equitable, peaceful way to settle your differences is Bitcoin. So, you shouldn't fear those who don't understand, who are your enemy that join Bitcoin, you should fear those who are your enemies that don't join Bitcoin. The're the ones that will use bullets to solve the problem.
No disagreement with your warnings from me, but I thought this quote was an interesting nexus on the various topics today. Any further thoughts?

Yes the quote is very good. What he's trying to say here is this:
  • there are many "sides" of tyranny, the "good" ones and the bad" ones.
  • we (the suits) "are the "good" ones, but we still want to fuck you.
NEVER LET THE GUARD DOWN. As I said many times, I SURVIVED 20 years of communist propaganda. I know how nice words sound in the ears of those that let down the guard. I learned my lesson from communism: TRUST NO ONE, especially those that work with the gov but they pretend to be your friend.
I lived treason in my own family, I know how deceitful could be. I just wanted to warn other people to not let the guard down. That's all. I am not here to decide for each of you or to became your "celebrity". I do not want that.

This is something to really highlight, IMO, as someone from a country (El Sal) that has its own history with this. A lot of Bitcoiners are Americans/Euros who can't fathom how propagandists will just outright lie and frame things the way you want to hear them.
(They've gotten a little better about noticing propaganda since 2020 but still)
