I learned my lesson from communism: TRUST NO ONE, especially those that work with the gov but they pretend to be your friend.
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)
