Why Becoming A Statist When You're Scared Is A Winning Strategy
One of the first steps to becoming a truly sovereign individual is getting registered to vote so that the government knows where you live. The second step is to donate to political candidates, and the third is to sit front row at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville to listen to Donald Trump speak about Bitcoin and crypto. Individual sovereignty will ultimately be achieved by accepting the authority of political figures and there is no way around it.
When Satoshi created Bitcoin, he did so not to create a new financial system that would subvert central banks, financial censorship, and politicians. No he intentionally scheduled Bitcoin halvings to happen right before US presidential selections to remind Bitcoiners that the dollar is number one.
To the moral objectors who believe that government is illegitimate due to it's horrible abuses towards humanity, prioritization of constant war, mass surveillance, general coercion, theft, and other restrictions, it is important to remember what the goal is here. The goal at the end of the day is to become sovereign as an individual, but you cannot do this without licking the boot.
To believe in a world without a state is too obvious and idealistic. Failing to accept the world for how it is and seeking to create any lasting or meaningful change requires courage and is dangerous. Instead of choosing the path that is moral, it is vital for individuals to compromise those morals, and flock to whichever leader is saying the nicest things about Bitcoin. Sovereignty comes from becoming wealthy, but you cannot become wealthy without the ruling class' permission.
Individuals' power does not come from them believing in themselves, but instead comes from permission and compliance. To comply with the selected leaders is truly an act of defiance in order to further freedom. At the end of the day, it is those selected leaders who give you the freedoms that you enjoy. Without them working tirelessly to protect the bill or rights, except when it comes to national security reasons, individuals would be in a state of slavery.
Many Bitcoiners have been persuaded to join a financial revolution centering around noncompliance. What they failed to see is that the purpose of Bitcoin is not to compete with or end the dollar, but ultimately to strengthen it. This is why politicians like Donald Trump and others find it attractive. While the two wings of the uniparty engage in complicated Hegalian Dialectics in order to move the Bitcoin community towards a broader attitude of compliance, ceding freedom left and right in exchange for promised NGU, it is vital to know that the selected individuals engaging in this process ultimately have your best interest in mind.
Donald Trump and JD Vance want you to be free and sovereign. That is why they are committed to doing things like bringing Jamie Dimon, a long time freedom advocate, into their cabinet. The tides are shifting and this is what hyperbitcoinization looks like. That is why more than ever, you should comply, support the wars, encourage surveillance, because you as a sovereign individual have nothing to hide.
The most effective innovators in history complied. Make sure history remembers your name.
