Beware of unintended consequences- What if your stacking sats undermines the wests dominance globally upon which your 1st world privileges depend then how would you respond? For example Chinas mercantile rise and backing of Russia and Iran by ignoring US/western sanctions and continuing to increase trade with them in particular buying Russian and Iranian oil and gas because China can use its CBDC Yuan to maintain Russia and Irans trade and economic viability thus enabling them to attack Iran and Israel. China has already achieved such size that the US has been forced to ignore Chinas continues and growing trade with Iran over more than a decade despite the US sanctions against trade with Iran. China is now contesting the US western global hegemony. It is proffering an alternative model which provides trade payments, the purchase of commodities (such as oil and gas) and access to most manufactured goods at a better price than the western alliance can offer. So China now has an economy and monetary trade payments model which enables large nations to operate outside the traditional USD system and China can be expected to expand that model by extending the use of its CBDC Yuan with other nations. So it could be argued your swapping your dollars for sats in a small way undermines the west and enables Chinas rise... How do you think your freedom of speech and 'rights' (and Bitcoin!) would be impacted by a world dominated by Chinese resource hegemony, trade and monetary protocols ?
The hegemony of the dollar is undermining the US, causing a massive trading deficit. It's unsustainable. It's because of the USD that the US manufactures hardly anything and almost everything comes from China, and that's how the US will be conquered if Bitcoin doesn't restore a sane monetary order.

Bitcoin is a threat to tyranny, US, China's or otherwise. If it undermines the tyranny of the US, that's one tyranny undermined and one tyranny fewer left to undermine.
