https://nakamotostudies.org/ read some Satoshi... The #1 goal of Bitcoin was to strip power over money from governments and give it to the people of the world to govern as a whole.

If a government has less control over it's people(via various FIAT instruments) it makes that Nation STRONGER not weaker.

Only in comparison to other nations (which is stupid). To strip powers from an organizational body fundamentally weakens it.

FED banks/fiat money are systems of control OVER Nations, they are anti-national. If Bitcoin replaced that system it'd give the people of various Nations control over their governments

Bitcoin does not give people control over governments. Im not sure how you see that it does. By using Bitcoin I have no greater say over what decisions any government makes.

If you take away the slave masters whip does the slave have more personal sovereignty or less?

As far as purpose - ignoring execution - how are FED banks/fiat systems any different than Bitcoin. They are a means of recording value across global economy. So yes, anti-national.

The proper place for the government is to be UNDER the Nation. The entire concept of the US constitution is to attempt to keep the government under the control of the Nation.

Call it whatever you want... When the people of a nation collectively organize and make decisions, its a government. Bitcoin takes power away from governments.

No way dude, uncensorable money/communication empowers people to better collectively organize and make decisions. How this is not self evident is beyond me.
replied 2071d
It may empower better decision making, but it certainly limits the powers of government...
replied 2071d
You are confusing collective behavior with government. Even then, bitcoin only levels playing field between nations.

Bitcoin Cash is you being your own bank.
Government relies on fiat (gov decree) and inflation to exist. BCH eliminates these as possibilities:
Uncontrollable and uncensorable.

Have you listened to even a single word the Orange One has said in the subject? All he wants is a level playing field.

Isn't government when there's a monopoly on the use of force and people choose things for other people without regard for their consent?

Exactly, that would be the goal. Why do think the US elected a leader who's signature catch phrase is "YOU'RE FIRED"? Our Nation wants to fundamentally weaken the organizational body,
replied 2071d
I see that as a net positive. To strip monetary power from politicians.

A government and a Nation are two different completely different things.

You can still be a conservative and have Republican ideals, but if you like Bitcoin, please admit to yourself you are not a nationalist when it comes to the economy / monetary system.
replied 2071d
I'd say the same for socialist statists that support bitcoin. How do they propose to excise exorbitant taxes so the can redistribute wealth when bitcoin is designed to be uncensorable?

Yeah, that's how they do it now, but they can seize your physical cash or bank account. I guess they can beat you to give up your key.

Bitcoin is anti-Federal Reserve. Tthe FED is a globalist organization. The majority shareholders who appoint the directors are not American http://www.usagold.com/federalreserve.html

Otherwise, imho, you don't get it. You're just here for the "cool new technology", and don't see the big picture.
