It cracks me up that bitcoiners chat as if bitcoin is a foregone conclusion whilst having NEVER lived on it, collecting satoshis (you're welcome) as though they are Beanie Babies and Pokemon cards, sure the "value" will go up as if you can increase p2p, private, permissionless from perfect. Nope.

2009 IRS levied my bank and trading accounts 2010 State Department revoked my passport, and I became debanked. 2012 I used Bitcoin for purchases at Porcfest and to pay for weed delivered by a drone. 2013 I sent 2 bitcoin to a woman in who took her entire village out of poverty. Also, Ross Ulbricht was arrested and The State seized control of a large amount of bitcoin, and bitcoiners allowed it . . . because they loved things more than freedom. 2014 I could do anything I wanted with bitcoin. 10 years later, I drive anywhere from an hour to twelve to buy dollahs. Don't tell me you all have made progress and are more free than you were.
