Yaazer on Nostr: great take. nostr:note16d4amvnrgfq2hvzntm3p78dprpv0nefjj79q3xyzgmp8gjfvncns2f88md

great take.

The lowest risk position to hold in #Bitcoin is to purity signal against governments and corporations.

But here's the reality: #Bitcoin is nonpermissive. We can't stop groups from saving in #Bitcoin. Not corporations. Not governments.

Saylor's posture, of #Bitcoin realism, takes more courage than Jack's, IMHO. Getting the trojan horse in through the gates takes huge personal risk and lots of work. Sitting back and negging is great for making anarcho friends online but does not advance game theory or shape it in our favor.

The adoption path for #Bitcoin is not linear. It is occuring all at once. Power is ordered in the world, but still distributed. Governments and corps would plainly be the last to adopt private internet cash. SoV clearly comes first for them. But developing and deploying privacy-preserving payments is not blocking on Gov approval.

We don't need permission to, slyly and in a round about way, introduce private payments into #Nostr and into real world economies. The developmenr of #Ark, for example, doesn't need to care about how govs and corps use Bitcoin.

Think nonlinearly.
Think nonpermissively.
