gm,

they say Bitcoin prevents war and defunds the state, but the Bitcoin industry was one of the biggest political contributors in 2024

they say Bitcoin can't be confiscated, but some of the biggest holders are governments that got the coins through confiscation

Don't be fooled by utopian ideas around Bitcoin, they're all bullshit narratives

What Bitcoin actually does: protects and grows your purchasing power, enables reliable peer to peer payments and acts as a check on power against central banks.

Directional ideas are not true in every inatance. bad products can make a lot of money yet, you wouldn't say "create a bad product to make a lot of money." On the average, bad products lose money.

Fiat is a hell of a drug, it doesn't mean Bitcoin won't one day do those things to a good degree.

Bitcoin doesn't stop wars, but the only other option we've figured out for achieving agreement is shared faith (that apparently never lasts & leads to war anyway). Bitcoin the process is a 3rd **constructive** option, whether it works practically or not, it's not an idea we should ever discard.

How does one confiscate bitcoin? People GAVE them bitcoin willingly in exchange for whatever deal the governments offered them. They didn’t jump back to block 432883 and reroute the receiving address

Right.. but you're conflating a few things on purpose here. They're rosy in some ways, but not bullshit. It defunds the state in the sense that they can't print Bitcoin at the expense of everyone else. People with money, especially if this is bitcoin, will always be free to spend it as they see fit...

Very disappointed in Bitcoiners who aligned with Trump. But I try to have sympathy. If they knew better they would do better
