This is femlib nonsense. Bitcoin will flow to those who know how to get and hold it. It will flow to those who are able to get and hold it. It will flow to the powerful and the wise. This is its nature and it isn't changing in that.

Should you be a cypherpunk in this technodystopia? I think so, for your own good and self empowerment. Should you learn to code and have the technical chops to be digitally sovereign? Of course! These are goals I have for myself because I don't want to be subject to someone else's power. Should everyone? I think so, but here's the deal: everyone CAN be a cypherpunk, but not everyone WILL. And those who choose not to build their own technical prowess will be subject to those who do. This is the nature of this world.

Empower yourself or be a slave. How's that for a philosophy, jyn_urso (nprofile…pkxw)?

Bitcoin doesn’t belong to any one person. But there are plenty who will try to take ownership of it. Why would you try to make it easier for them? Some narratives sound good on face value, but they are empty and designed to trick you into relinquishing your ability to decide the future of bitcoin.

In this techno-dystopian landscape, we must all become cypherpunks. Both online and in the physical. I do not believe that knowing how to code is necessary, nor sufficient to see the mission to completion. We need a philosophy to guide us.

The narratives lately have been lacking a cohesive philosophical line. So many drunk on short-term power trips and NGU gains. But these are short-term and will not win in the long run.

I will fight for the bitcoin that empowers the many over the few. Privacy for the weak. Freedom to transact for the vulnerable. A way out for those who want it, but for a more free, sustainable, and egalitarian future, not oligarchic enslavement.

I am not the only one.
