The basis of the fiat debt monetary systems power is its monopoly over MoE/payment. With Bitcoin potentially threatening that monopoly power the legacy fiat powers have pulled out all the stops to obstruct use of Bitcoin as a MoE/payment protocol. They have imposed taxation assessment liability upon every single payment you might make so this in one hit makes it impractical for most consumers and businesses to use Bitcoin as a means of payment. They have further threatened many businesses where they do accept Bitcoin as a payment option- often threatening to close that businesses banking access. They have imposed absurd KYC/AML compliance requirements. In short the fiat debt slavery bankers cartel do not want Bitcoin used as a payments protocol. They want it redirected into use as a speculative commodity- and they have largely succeeded in achieving this. Few Bitcoiners have even noticed, but this obstruction by the bankers renders Bitcoin more or less already captured and controlled- and most Bitcoiners, blinded by the speculative gains to date have not even noticed. Sly Bankers.
