Manipulation of currency is not one cause among many, but the universal channel through which fiat failure happens. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. ₿itcoin is money, p2p.
₿itcoins price discovery doesn't need fiat, it needs to be used as money, regardless of what the fiat whores will claim. We've all had the ability to do this from the beginning. Fiat whores are as prevalent as shitcoins. They are on Nostr, X, Youtube... everywhere. Preaching self custody, then trying to sell ₿itcoin fiat financial products in very the next breath. What kind of message does that send to someone that is simply trying to make sense of it all? Why do they always say never sell your ₿itcoin? Because in the end, they want more fiat. It's all a fucking grift. Spoon fed fucking grift.

As always... follow the fiat friends

When you have compromised your ability to think clearly, independently, critically, logically, and objectively, you will become a victim. Governments love victims. They'll take care of you. Everything will be ok. Go back to sleep. Dream about how unfair this world is. How special you are. Dream of how you deserve to share in what everyone else has accomplished without sharing in their endless work. Without taking on any risk. Truth is, on the inside, you're no different than any other anti American mother fucker that I have met in my life. Nothing new. Nothing special. Just another weak individual who in the past would not have been able to survive.
