Hello everyone. When introducing #Bitcoin to my Russian peers, there’s a recurring skepticism: it's seen as an "American scheme." While many here might not have faced this challenge, here's how I tackle it: Have you ever pondered if #Bitcoin could be an offspring of the NSA? Was it secretly forged as the fragility of fiat currencies globally became evident? Or did the U.S. simply catch the #Bitcoin wave early? The next question often thrown my way is, "Should we really entrust our assets to this possibly suspect American venture that could be covertly fueling undisclosed operations?" To this, I answer: The true origin of #Bitcoin, be it American, Chinese, Russian, or Japanese, is essentially inconsequential. Due to its decentralized essence, it now operates beyond any single nation's grasp. Halting its momentum would require subduing every advocate—an undertaking too ambitious even for the U.S. Of course, I elaborate on its core principles: decentralization, immutability, and its inherent resistance to censorship. However, apprehensions surrounding its "American" birthright persist. To address this, I narrate an intriguing tale: Ever heard about Hal Finney's enigmatic neighbor, possibly a certain Satoshi Nakamoto, with speculated NSA connections? Russians, with their innate skepticism of official accounts, find this tidbit irresistible. Let’s delve deeper: For a century, the U.S., with its unparalleled control over the money press, capitalized on this edge. They've printed vast sums, virtually out of thin air. This monetary dominance allowed them to acquire the best talent, technology, intellectual property, and strategic advantages from across the globe. However, they're acutely aware of the dollar's diminishing stature. They seem to be actively diluting its power, printing it in excessive quantities. This move seems strategic — exhausting its utility to the fullest, buying everything in sight, until it hyperinflates. And in this strategic shift, lies #Bitcoin’s ascension. If we consider the possibility of Satoshi's million-#BTC wallet, it could feasibly offset the U.S. national debt. Think about this: Beyond a select faction within the American elite, who else could witness an asset like #BTC soar from nothing to $69,420 without spending a portion? Most would've exited much earlier. On the regulatory front, there's a notable bias: favoring #Bitcoin and seemingly sidelining crypto. Consider the broader crypto landscape as a case in point: many, like LUNA, are scams, with its founder now under legal scrutiny. Then there's CZ, the figure behind what's considered an underground crypto gambling hub. It's apparent that the elites aren't keen on welcoming these upstarts. To clarify, when I reference "Americans," I'm pinpointing the shadowy power-brokers, not everyday citizens or the figureheads in office. They're the true orchestrators. Sharing this narrative has yielded profound results, spurring #Bitcoin investments amounting to billions. #nostr #orangepilling #hyperbitcoinization #plebs #plebchain #Bitcoin
