If you have to explain to someone why something is money, then it isn't money. Regression Theorem maximalist.

No such thing as private property. If I stop paying property tax, it won't be long before I find out who owns what. We are renters/managers of the states property.
There is only force and avoidance of force. If I can protect my property with force, then it is my property. If I rely on the force of the state to enforce my "property rights", then it is the property of the state. If I try to protect my property from the state, I will become the next Waco.
Bitcoin solved the impossible contradiction of making something that is intangible and abstract simultaneously scarce.
That is why Bitcoin is the closest thing to private property that has ever existed, because it is so difficult to steal. Afterall, how do you steal an intangible abstraction?
The previous 10,000 years since Mesopotamia will be recategorized as proto civilization as historians look back at the inception of Bitcoin as the birth of private property and civilization itself. Instead of saying "taxes are the price of civilization", people will say "taxes are the seed of barbarism".
People will be shocked that there was ever a time when people would be threatened, at gunpoint, to be thrown into a rape cage just because they didn't want to hand over resources to strangers.
The nation state will dissolve into a curiosity of the past and the festering of nationalism and world war will shrivel up under the light of Bitcoin.

Sure but if it depends on the ranting of ideologues then it will fail. Which is a point the OP seems to me making. Bitcoin depends on game theory, incentives and network effects. Not ideology.

Nationalization of mining could be seen as a national security issue soon. What's interesting about that is that mining is capital intensive but the government can just turn on the money printer.

I went to a intro to foster care meetup a few months ago to ask questions and they have those kids locked down. Its really sad, another example of the state failing children.
For example: I asked if I can take the kid
snorkeling/diving. They said I can't let them get into any body of water without a certified lifeguard nearby. I can't get the kid a haircut with permission. If I get more than one, each kid has to have their own room even if same gender... even though I and most of humanity throughout history shared rooms with their siblings.
I'm thinking at this point, it would make more sense to adopt once I expatriot to a country where adoption/foster is easier.
One more antidote: my friends sister had a kid she was going to put up for adoption. My friend decided to adopt the kid and she had to pay the adoption agency $10-15k to adopt her own niece...

There are 3 types if deflation:
1. Deflation from a credit crunch.
2. Deflation from the government running a surplus.
3. Deflation from increasing the efficiency of labor.

This is supposed to be Eths big moment. The ETF isn't out yet but the market should be pricing it in... but it just can't hang with Bitcoin. The price looks like it is about to breakdown. https://image.nostr.build/6a01cd6d3f3bf6a686f99746ed2a572d835bbcf703a391a4b02869e98a1ed2f2.jpg

"The best leaders the people barely know. When they accomplish their task and complete their work,
the people say, "We did it ourselves.""
Lao Tsu
Once Bitcoin has reshaped the world and our institutions are righted, it will receive no acclaim. People will attribute themselves. The people won't adopt it until their government taxes them in it and that's okay. The world will never understand the role money plays in society and that's okay. There is no need for recognition or praise.
