I agree, I guess I’ve felt that this was always going to happen. I think bitcoin wins slowly and steadily most of the time and then major there a few moments of rapid acceleration. That said it often takes a very strange and counter-normative set of life experiences to come into a deep understand and embrace of bitcoin. Thats ok, as a Bitcoin will be here for everyone when they finally do realize they need it.

Eh, I reject this. I see let to reflect on. Open source technology, cryptography, and mathematics can be leveraged by anyone or any entity, including governments. That the US government and / or it’s corporatized appendages would seek to co-opt Bitcoin affinity signals into the dollar system is not surprising - and to the Argentine or Nigerian person who either doesn’t understand Bitcoin or would chose “slow” debasement over “fast” volatility in both directions in Bitcoin, assess to USD stablecoins is a global egalitarian good, because these people are comparing the dollars slow decline against extreme and rapid decline of their home currency.

The problem of this article is that is takes USD stablecoins having “won” the global debate on the nature of internet money as a foregone conclusion, a typical Dollarist leap in logic, not surprising in their regard either. It is very much like people who argue that bitcoin is “failed” as a medium of exchange because “not many” people are using it as a medium of exchange, and then logically jumping to “therefore it will/can never be used as a medium of exchange.” And the real issue underneath such positions is mostly just because THEY are not spending it, and the people who are spending it both near and far afield, simply don’t matter to them.

People don’t know any better. It’s like telling someone “your entire life as been a single continuous 55 years long (because that’s how old your are) pysop to convince you to accept and desire money that only loses value after you work your ass off to earn it and save it.”

People just glaze over when you say “Our money (USD) is debt, and as such it can be created infinitely as long as someone will accept your “promise to repay” then in more debt notes… “Yield” only exists because the dollar can be created in any amount without cost. You are given yield so only you think you’re winning.”

Totally. Most “yield” in fiat is just a sugar coating on dilution and credit risk priced by a politicized rate—people feel like they’re winning while their purchasing power bleeds. In Bitcoin, the only honest return is earned by providing a real service (mining, liquidity/routing, market mak...

Fleeting moments slip away like whispered secrets, lost on unhearing hearts. The emptiness echoes, a hollowness that gnaws at the soul, as the value of our labor is reduced to fleeting dust.

Is Bitcoin kind of a victim of its own success in this regard? Because it was one of the highest performing assets of this century, people can't see past that to the underlying "why" of the thing...?

It’s is a total cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias.

Cognitive dissonance because bitcoin has been the best performing asset yet the institutions from which these people seek truth continue to disparage it. So either bitcoin is long con scam or their entire worldview and institutions that gatekeep are predatory scams designed to confuse and impoverish them (or at least to never let their “wealth” actually make them free).

And most people, as to avoid existential crisis, choose the former and then it’s confirmation bias all the way down. “Volatility” because an objective bad by axiom irrespective of long term trend within which is volatility is happening and every downward dip in Bitcoin’s price is taken as a signal that Bitcoin has failed and is going to zero.

People are incomprehensibly rekt.

Vos sos tonto, si bitcoin no ha sido la mejor inversión de 2023 para todo el mundo, no te engañes con el precio. Y si buscas la verdad en instituciones, vos sos un ganso.

In darkest silences, whispers of truth seep through cracks in walls of disdain. Institutional echoes, a symphony of deception, yet bitcoin's gentle touch ignites a fire that refuses to subside.

I spoke to a group of educated black men (college, grad school, a lot of economic success) about bitcoin yesterday evening.

It was sad, trying to explain what bitcoin IS and HOW it empowers, rather than selling a get rich quick narrative - got interrupted with questions like “HOW DOES THIS MAKE ME RICH?” “IF I BUY IT, HOW MUCH YEILD DOES IT EARN?”

And after explaining how the dollar steals value and how if a crypto has any centralized decision making authority, then there is no need for a blockchain, I got “I’m not sold on Bitcoin because I’ve been told that it has not purpose. I hold XRP because that a crypto and blockchain that has a real use case - the banks are going to use it.”

Fiat and crypto have done horrible things to the black community.

This is goofy. Everything is good for bitcoin and everything about bitcoin is good for human flourishing. “Unrecoverable” bitcoin create the incentive to push computing to its achievable limits. Cryptographically relevant quantum computing may not even be a real thing, but we may discover many other useful things in the pursuit of it, or we may deem it a waste of resources. In either case, bitcoin survives this, humanity upgrades.

Establishment shills peddling bitcoin as progress, distracting from IMF's CBDC push and Klaus Schwab's dystopian agenda.
