Bitcoin is for enemies. Everyone you don't like will buy bitcoin and do things you don't like in a way you don't like. And you will cheer it, because that's the whole point. If you don't get this, just sell your bitcoin and go back to permissioned money. image

Hmm… “compute” (or Bitcoin, or the wheel) is an amazing new tool. We should adopt it. But if they adopt this new tool it would be bad. Hmm…
Mr. Yanis Varoufakis got it all wrong with Bitcoin a number of years ago. And like so many who had a reputation to lose he can't just BTFD but has to double down and triple down and gaziliioniple down.
Yes. There are plenty of large intellectual egos that cannot fathom ever being wrong. Yanis will forever content himself with communal back slapping amongst his Chardonnay socialist, celebrity friends like Eno.
the fact that Varoufakis is not a bitcoiner is the evidence that ego is at play. he is so in love with his techno feudalism narrative he cannot see an alternative path

I actually agree with him on the title, real bitcoiners don't beg for sTrAtEgIc rEsErVeS or applaud central banks buying it. They need bitcoin, bitcoin does not need them.
Varoufakis is a guy that never had a real job. Always worked for the undemocratic/autocratic state (how many referendums were cast to accept his expenses?, how many people asked about his expenses?). And he's talking about peddling? These guys will go down in history has the biggest liars of all time.

"And you will cheer it, because that's the whole point." I can support a technology without endorsing all its uses. Permissionless money can liberate people, but that doesn’t mean I must cheer its role in their oppression.
