where did he say this? I've tried looking though his medium posts but there was too much ranting & too little substance. & I don't think bitcoin should be trying to please US gov.
I think the context was more that law is law, and rather than try to break the law it's best to act within the law, you will gain more ground and eventually limit the power of gov.
Not true in many cases. Think of the natural world, parasites work from within and are very successful. I would rather sap the strength of government for a while, then change it
eg virus hijacks cell machinery to run it’s own genetic code to change phenotype instead of using the existing system, chromosomal crossover events in gametes, to change phenotype.
Earn money, but use it to buy bitcoin and move your store of value off of their system. This starves them of capital by diluting their money. We keep all the good money,
Trying to battle them when they have such a huge system is hard to do,,, they have unlimited printing press money. Step one is to create our own money, then simply move to it.
agree, it could work, but it will take a very long time. more than likely we will see an outside force precipitate a fundamental change by the time internal changes gain any momentum.
Inability to change the system from within seems to be true for monolithic human systems with large momentum (eg govs, organized religions, large companies)
