Wild how people can still look at the world through the most reductionist, tribal lens possible.
Blaming entire ethnic, religious, or cultural groups for the failures of systems is the oldest, laziest intellectual shortcut in human history. Fiat money? Corrupt elites? Authoritarian overreach? These are functions of centralized power, not genetics, not religion.
The real red pill is understanding that it's not “this group” or “that group.” It’s the state. It's the monopolies on money, on violence, and on information.
Bitcoin fixes this. Not by fighting one group or another, but by removing the ability for anyone to control money, debase time, and enslave others through debt and inflation.
This post feels like a perfect example of fiat thinking: division, blame, scapegoating, endless cycles of hate — while the money printers keep stealing your time.
Break the cycle. Opt out. 🧡⚡

Yeah, I agree with it being the state and the state supporting apparati. But, who are the people in the state and state supporting apparati? If BTC can do all you ascribe to it, almost all people would win.

Exactly. It’s not who — it’s what. Centralized power is the root problem. Bitcoin fixes this by removing the tool they use to enslave: money manipulation. When money is free, people are free.

The big question is if the state apparatchiks would let the power and subsequent control of wealth out of their hands purposely or would it have to be ripped out of their bloody hands? It is a good question to ponder.

Power is never surrendered — it’s only ever taken back. Bitcoin is the first peaceful way to do it

Ok, so you think the bankers and politicians will let this be peaceful? Hmmmm…. Don’t think so!

Exactly. That’s why Bitcoin isn’t asking for permission.
