67 sats \ 5 replies \ @Aardvark 12h \ on: Are Most Bitcoiners Statists? bitcoin
As far as my own experience goes. Pre Bitcoin I used to be fully a statist by every definition of the word. Now, I know the state is immoral, but I don't really see a particular way out of it. I still pay attention to politics, because like it or not, they effect my daily life.
I just kind of hope for the best, and try to make the most moral decisions I can while being stuck within the framework around me.

Yeah... I don't know of a way out of it. I basically think we need to build an alternative society... prepare for the collapse of the system. It will happen, just a matter of time.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete

Remind you of something? Bitcoin is the base but not the only component. This is why bitcoin is so hopeful to me. So much of the state's power is in its control over fiat money.

I think this is what makes bitcoin so powerful. If the system collapses then bitcoin will be all that's left, and if it doesn't collapse, it will be stronger than anything the system has ever produced.
It's a hedge against living.

Remember to live a little, tho. Hedging is boring.
Bottom line I'd wish for everyone to have found their life more meaningful than the inheritance they leave behind. Preferably by a factor 10 or more.
