Bitcoin Parallelists have existed since the beginning of Bitcoin and they come in many different forms. The root animating thinking is that Bitcoin cannot be good enough at face value, and that something needs to be added to Bitcoin to make it “correct” or “more useful”.
One example of this poisonous thinking is the idea that an identity layer needs to be added to Bitcoin. This is obviously insane to actual Bitcoiners, but there are people who cannot conceive of life without having the ability to track and trace and identify themselves with a government piece of paper on demand. This toxic thinking was behind the BIP to add an identity layer
“An identity layer does not add anything to the Bitcoin protocol; its a political, superfluous addition, that is parochial and toxic.”
https://x.com/search?q=bitcoin%20%22identity%22%20layer%20from%3A%40beautyon_&src=typed_query&f=top
Take a look at this:
"What is needed is an optional identity layer — a Bitcoin Assigned Custodial Identities Authority, much like the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, to oversee global Custodial Identity allocation. Such an authority delegates Custodial Identity Spaces to Regional Bitcoin Custodial Identity Registries, much like the RIRs (Regional Internet Registries) managing the allocation of Internet number resources."
Shocking.
Imagine having to spend the rest of your life refuting and defending against this garbage. It's unthinkable...hellish.
The analogy to Money, the ultimate toxic poison in “Bitcoiner” thinking, takes the legacy financial system as the gospel and “how things get done”, and believes, quite erroneously, that Bitcoin must copy feature for feature and institution for institution everything found in the legacy system, and of course that includes “identity”.
This “thinking” leaves out the facts of Bitcoin; that it is…
• A database and not money
• Identify in the legacy system was and is a necessity because that system emerged from pre internet / cryptography world
• Western ways of thinking about the utility of anything is not a universally applicable standard to be forced on everyone on Earth
Similar to this bad thinking is the idea that the only way Bitcoin can exist is by coexistence. This is absolutely false, and many industries throughout history demonstrate it.
No one asserted that the ice delivery industry should coexist with domestic electric refrigerators and neither did anyone think that the horse and cart needs to coexist with the motorcar. Or electric stoves with open fires.
The “Bitcoin get along gang” are fundamentally anti-Bitcoin.
They don’t accept the truth; that fiat money is a criminal enterprise stealing from the most vulnerable people on earth to the richest.
Choosing coexisting with evil is evil, and this is why Dollarizers and Dollar Idolaters are evil and anti-Bitcoin.
Thankfully, all of these people and their bad ideas will be wiped out. Bitcoin is powerful enough to do this, because by its action it exerts influence on the user, just as WhatsApp exerts influence on users to refrain from sending messages by SMS. No conscious thought is required for this to happen (in fact, not thinking is a prerequisite) it just happens because people gravitate to what is cheaper and faster.
One people get Bitcoin into their hands in the correct way, meaning an Ethical Bitcoin wallet (Wallet of Satoshi, Samourai Wallet, Breez, Muun, Bluewallet, Green Address, BitKey) then the side effects will simply emerge, if they can get Bitcoin easily, and this will happen because Bitcoin Wallets create demand for Bitcoin simply by being installed...

And don't bother trying to surveill everyone with your "identity on Bitcoin" Statism. It will not change the outcome...
Purveyors of bad ideas will never vanish; this is why Bitcoin had to be written. It puts money beyond the reach of bad people and their bad ideas, whether they are well meaning and innocently suggested or not.
Every generation of men is essentially a blank slate onto which bad ideas can be imposed. That's why there are Marxists in 2024, and even 60 year old Marxists, because some people are incapable of learning and are stubborn.
Bitcoin stops these people from being able to destroy, and prevents future generations from being able to destroy.
Time and events will strengthen Bitcoin's position, and the idea of believing in Bitcoin and understanding Bitcoin's value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend Bitcoin with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest.
Isn't it exciting?

And we’re still at the beginning.
Just wait till you see what’s coming next.
And you’ll know we’ve passed the left side of the normal distribution when the normies all think Azteco is normal and, “Just the way things are”.

If a famous person “outs” the bad guys and it’s “huge”, then the problems are solved, and you can rejoice, because you’ve won.
The wars will stop
You don’t have to take responsibility for your actions
The fiat system is ended
The bad guys can do no more bad
You’ve won
All because you sputtered some slang!
Wow, that was easy!
If it was always this easy to solve all the problems, why didn’t anyone do this before?
MORE PRESS CONFERENCES
MORE “OUTINGS”
MORE CONDEMNATIONS
MORE “HUGES”
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!
KREV.
The world doesn't need to know who Satoshi was.
Bitcoin isn't a commodity, it never was, and "The Bitcoin Community" must become irrelevant, like the old Home Brew Computing clubs did.
Bitcoin is not an asset class, and it never was. What it is will be made clear to many, very soon.
The trajectory of Bitcoin will follow the trajectory of the other world-changing innovations, and so will the reaction to it and management of the public’s access to it.
The web, Smart Phones, Internets, LCDs, GSM…all of these and more will coalesce into a single world-changing event, in effect superficially different but similar to events centuries ago when sound money was everywhere.
Even the most trained people, historians, economists and people as close to Bitcoin as it is possible to be cannot see what is coming.
And that is a good thing.
It is a good thing because people don’t want the world to change, especially if they are very comfortable. If the world goes on as it is for another 40 years, why should they care?
In a phrase, the attitude is, “NO URGENCY”. And it’s completely understandable.
Nevertheless, it’s going to happen. Bitcoin dominance is coming, whether anyone likes it or not.
And that’s a good thing!
A "NEW BREED"?
One of the biggest problems facing the west today is the blanket accommodation of mental illness. Everyone tip toes around mentally ill people so as not to "offend", whereas in the past, there was no such social prohibition.
People were "mean". People were "cruel".
This had a twofold effect. Young men faced strict discipline from every corner, and if they had any chance of being and behaving normally, their quirks were beaten out of them, and then they grew up to be polite, responsible, reasonable, capable and normal men.
The people who used to be called "retards" were ruthlessly tested until it was absolutely determined that there was no hope for them. They were then either kept secure at home where they couldn't trouble anyone or institutionalized for thier own and society's good.
Today, it is not like this.
People coddle their children to such an extent, that they never shed the cocoon of childhood and incompletely molt as partially formed, stunted men. In the UK, they call them, "Manlets".
Manlets can't take responsibility, can't face criticism or make a value judgement. They're essentially paralysed, and because no one rebuked them for their entire lives, they've ended up crippled by it, whereas if they had faced a sound horsewhipping when young, they could have been molded into true captains of industry, capitalists or even greater.
That is what is missing today in many fields; men and women who have the discipline, etiquette, soundness of mind, a firm foundation, guts and ability; fearlessness, all of which are prerequisites to both changing the world for the better and managing the world once changed so it doesn't slip and turn into a mess.
Bitcoin, tangentially, is a solution to this terrible problem of a paucity of men of character.
By removing the power to control the money supply from the State and putting it into the "hands" of a computer, impotent, frightened and paralyzed men and evil women are forever removed from the equation, and weak men and evil women are excluded from economic decisions that affect billions of innocent people.
The answer to, "The Weak Man / Evil Woman Problem" is software, across the board. This extends to robotics.
Some very clever man from an American Labor Union has just threatened the entire United States with crippling strikes across all ports. The introduction of commodity robots, both anthropomorphic and not, will put Unions in their place forever.
No group of people will be able to claim jobs provided by entrepreneurs are "their jobs", and the cretinous Californian Socialists who think increasing minimum wages are an answer to poverty (they are not) will have no constituency to vote for them.
When all fast food work is done by robots, California can either ban fast food or allow fast food. It is a binary choice. there are no more options.
If they allow fast food, companies will simply shut down franchises. Prices will be unsustainably high in California, making the slops inaccessible to the poor. In other states, where taxation regimes and employment laws are sane (i.e. where there are none of either) the fast food industry will flourish.
If they disallow fast food, then the companies will simply shut down franchises. No slops for California dreamers.
The Socialists and Unions cannot win this; there is no scenario where they win. The free market will discipline them; the invisible hand will slap them.
This is true of all companies. You can't hide from economics; the market is super powerful and very dynamic, and entrepreneurs, when hungry, are ruthless and lethal. For them, business is not a game or a distraction; it is life or death, and for the best entrepreneurs, who are driven by philosophy, they are doubly motivated.
Many entrepreneurs in Bitcoin are like the latter.
Winning in Bitcoin is not the fulfillment of a ridiculous unwritten chapter in an obscure book on untested "Game Theory"; it is REAL and the prize is REAL and the stakes are REAL and the users are REAL.
When Bitcoin wins, the world will change; the only remaining question is this:
Will your name be on the roll of HONOUR of men and women who did good and changed the world?
Or will your name be on the roll of SHAME, of men and women who did wrong, did dirty, who dropped the ball, who ran away and hid from the game?
It is not possible to know the end of this today, but you can make a good guess on a handful of very famous (in Bitcoin) names. Faketoshi will go down under "did wrong, did dirty". Olaoluwa Osuntokun and Elizabeth Stark: "men and women who did good and changed the world".
And so on and so on. I'm sure you can make your own list in your own mind. Right Right Right?

Amazon Daily Finds (@AmazonDF) on X
Which Dad are you 😂
Seeing into the future, something like...
Elon visits Bukele
Elon finally accepts Bitcoin's proposition
Elon advises Trump government
Bukele advises Elon
Elon brings Bukelism to USA
Bitcoin is adopted as Legal Tender in America
In all seriousness though, this is potentially highly significant. Elon will have seen in his travels in San Salvador, that even McDonald's accepts Bitcoin as payment, including the hotel he was staying at.
Seeing Bitcoin everywhere as a method of payment will not have gone unnoticed (surely) by Elon. He will have been induced to install Wallet of Satoshi, and then paid for a Coca-Cola with Bitcoin with Wallet of Satoshi, instantly.
And no one will have batted an eyelid.
Once you experience this yourself, Bitcoin being used as money for everyday spending and treated as totally normal, you can never un-see it.
Elon's mind would have been reeling at the potential to integrate Bitcoin into any economy, and the tools that will need to be built to make it happen. Tools built by his private army of mad software scientists.
Finally he must, surely, be disabused of his completely wrong ideas about Bitcoin.
If this is the case, the post Bukele Elon will be a much better Elon.
He will stop joking about Bitcoin, and start acting like an adult about the most fundamental problem faced by man today: THE MONEY PROBLEM.
Before man can get to mars
He must fix the money
Before man can solve poverty
He must fix the money
Before man can eliminate inflation
He must fix the money
Before man can prevent war
He must fix the money
Bitcoiners understand all of this, but Elon has not grasped it yet. Other global level execs have.
Michael Saylor, Sundar Pichai, Jack Dorsey, Cathie Wood, Larry Fink, Marc Benioff, Tim Cook, Dan Schulman and Satya Nadella have all accept the truth.
Now, finally, it is Elon's turn.
And he will be ahead of some of these because he has been to El Salvador, and has met with President Nayib Bukele.
We can only hope, amirite?

It was a pleasure to spend several hours talking with one of the great minds of our time @elonmusk
Just imagine what would happen if Elon posted this movie to all of his 197,650,968 followers. Or some other globally famous accounts…in fact, if they all got together to spread this film. It would change everything.
The vast majority of people have no idea what "Nuclear War" would actually mean to them personally. Such an event is literally beyond their ability to imagine.
This film shows EXACTLY what “Nuclear War” means. Everyone seeing it and being terrified by it could prevent a bad war, by making it politically impossible to prosecute this insane Russophobic suicide pact.
You know what to do.

The UK ID card is not what you think it is. It is not a simple identity document like your passport or driving licese. It is in fact, a database backed control grid and the fulfilment of Orwells nightmare.
You may have heard that legislation creating compulsory ID Cards passed a crucial stage in the House of Commons. You may feel that ID cards are not something to worry about, since we already have Photo ID for our Passport and Driving License and an ID Card will be no different to that. What you have not been told is the full scope of this proposed ID Card, and what it will mean to you personally.
The proposed ID Card will be different from any card you now hold. It will be connected to a database called the NIR, (National Identity Register)., where all of your personal details will be stored. This will include the unique number that will be issued to you, your fingerprints, a scan of the back of your eye, and your photograph. Your name, address and date of birth will also obviously be stored there.
There will be spaces on this database for your religion, residence status, and many other private and personal facts about you. There is unlimited space for every other details of your life on the NIR database, which can be expanded by the Government with or without further Acts of Parliament.
By itself, you might think that this register is harmless, but you would be wrong to come to this conclusion. This new card will be used to check your identity against your entry in the register in real time, whenever you present it to 'prove who you are'.
Every place that sells alcohol or cigarettes, every post office, every pharmacy, and every Bank will have an NIR Card Terminal, (very much like the Chip and Pin Readers that are everywhere now) into which your card can be 'swiped' to check your identity. Each time this happens, a record is made at the NIR of the time and place that the Card was presented. This means for example, that there will be a government record of every time you withdraw more than £99 at your branch of Nat West, who now demand ID for these transactions. Every time you have to prove that you are over 18, your card will be swiped, and a record made at the NIR. Restaurants and off licenses will demand that your card is swiped so that each receipt shows that they sold alcohol to someone over 18, and that this was proved by the access to the NIR, indemnifying them from prosecution.
Private businesses are going to be given access to the NIR Database. If you want to apply for a job, you will have to present your card for a swipe. If you want to apply for a London Underground Oyster Card,or a supermarket loyalty card, or a driving license you will have to present your ID Card for a swipe. The same goes for getting a telephone line or a mobile phone or an internet account.
Oyster, DVLA, BT and Nectar (for example) all run very detailed databases of their own. They will be allowed access to the NIR,just as every other business will be. This means that each of these entities will be able to store your unique number in their database, and place all your travel, phone records, driving activities and detailed shopping habits under your unique NIR number. These databases, which can easily fit on a storage device the size of your hand, will be sold to third parties either legally or illegally. It will then be possible for a non governmental entity to create a detailed dossier of all your activities. Certainly, the government will have clandestine access to all of them, meaning that they will have a complete record of all your movements, from how much and when you withdraw from your bank account to what medications you are taking, down to the level of what sort of bread you eat - all accessible via a single unique number in a central database.
This is quite a significant leap from a simple ID Card that shows your name and face.
Most people do not know that this is the true character and scope of the proposed ID Card. Whenever the details of how it will work are explained to them, they quickly change from being ambivalent towards it.
The Government is going to COMPEL you to enter your details into the NIR and to carry this card. If you and your children want to obtain or renew your passports, you will be forced to have your fingerprints taken and your eyes scanned for the NIR, and an ID Card will be issued to you whether you want one or not. If you refuse to be fingerprinted and eye scanned, you will not be able to get a passport. Your ID Card will, just like your passport, not be your property. The Home Secretary will have the right to revoke or suspend your ID at any time, meaning that you will not be able to withdraw money from your Bank Account, for example, or do anything that requires you to present your government issued ID Card.
The arguments that have been put forwarded in favour of ID Cards can be easily disproved. ID Cards WILL NOT stop terrorists; every Spaniard has a compulsory ID Card as did the Madrid Bombers. ID Cards will not 'eliminate benefit fraud', which in comparison, is small compared to the astronomical cost of this proposal, which will be measured in billions according to the LSE (London School of Economics). This scheme exists solely to exert total surveillance and control over the ordinary free British Citizen,and it will line the pockets of the companies that will create the computer systems at the expense of your freedom, privacy and money.
If you did not know the full scope of the proposed ID Card Scheme before and you are as unsettled as I am at what it really means to you, to this country and its way of life, I urge you to email or photocopy this and give it to your friends and colleagues and everyone else you think should know and who cares. The Bill has proceeded to this stage due to the lack of accurate and complete information on this proposal being made public. Together & Hand to hand, we can inform the entire nation if everyone who receives this passes it on.
