Brilliant metaphor. Extraction as a universal engine is exactly what the system cannot admit - that it doesn’t rely on ideologies, but on a constant flow of human energy. And when that flow is interrupted - when people stop believing, obeying, or funding - the machine pauses.

Bitcoin doesn’t fight power; it starves it. It’s silent surgery, not a bloody revolution. And that’s precisely why it’s so dangerous to any system that feeds on us.

Excellent reflection. The extraction mechanism takes different forms depending on the regime, but the principle remains the same: turning human energy into debt. In democracies, it disguises itself as welfare; in dictatorships, as direct control. Bitcoin exposes that shared root - a global system that demands submission, not ideology.

That’s where Bitcoin’s neutrality becomes revolutionary: no matter who rules, power loses its monopoly over value.

Beautifully put: learning through real risk is growth. Avoiding it only perpetuates a system already collapsing under its own weight.

Thanks for this insight . I agree that custodial services can be a bridge, but that’s the paradox: many never cross that bridge. They stay in the comfort of custody and never reach real sovereignty.

That difference is what will define who is truly inside and who, deep down, will remain an outsider.

Thanks! Coming soon

Exactly, and that’s the key: if the technical side remains only for a few, real accessibility is broken. People need understandable tools without losing Bitcoin’s essence

Exactly: it’s not a panacea. But it doesn’t need to be. Being far better than the fiat scam is enough to change everything.
