Terrific discussion. Really appreciate the brain stretch, connecting dots and identifying trends.
Not a surprise that the ruling elite are leaning into bitcoin. I often analogize the bitcoin protocol to the US Constitution. Both are constructs for freedom. Both are powerful ideas with huge network effect and emotional pull.
The smartest fraudsters and scammers project alignment with these ideals (whether it be the ruling class/politicians/ institutions, or various "bitcoin companies" or influencers on X, etc), while really just acting to exploit and gain control and wealth at the expense of freedom.
