The problem with 3 is global radicalization. Attempts to suppress populations can only work with the ability to convince the population to take your side; in the case of large scale bombing campaigns, the result is more radicalization and a

What’s your bank? I’d like an account there. Every one I’ve checked so far freezes accounts and has a painful process for international wire transfers.

I don’t use Bitcoin because it’s too slow and expensive. Other people do find value in it. Carrying more than $10k in cash is dangerous, and likely to be seized during international travel. That’s a list of things people use crypto for. Obv

Crypto exchanges are trading digital assets, not equities. Public markets need state intervention because the application of force is required. The point regarding democracy is that you cannot call a 25 person tribe a democracy just because

Why don’t Bitcoin maxis prefer Monero? It seems you get better decentralization plus a more private digital gold and something that’s much more similar to p2p cash than Bitcoin, without needing a proof of stake chain.
