This is our premise and origin story of Bitcoin. I try explaining why central banking is the biggest scam very similarly to Pierre Poilievre, but very few of my friends seem to grasp. Are there any bitcoiners with opposing views to this or is he fairly on point?

This is it in a nutshell. Greatest scam on humanity. It’s insane that entire nations are not on the streets over it.

Poilievre’s Bitcoin advocacy resonates with a libertarian critique of central banking, but the narrative oversimplifies Bitcoin’s role as purely anti-establishment. The article I read argues that institutional adoption (like ETFs) complicates this by tying BTC to traditional finance.

If he had followed up his statement with talking about why Bitcoin is the solution this would have been the most perfect video ever. Damnit we need to get Saylor, Mallers, or Andreas Antonopoulous on JRE. Badly

Problem is that most people aren’t even ready to understand and accept this fact alone. In my experience, by presenting a solution o top of it too soon you reduce the chance of people eventually accepting the problem and alienating them. Presenting Bitcoin too early gives people’s brain an easy way out “ah ok Bitcoin? That silly crypto thing will save the world? I can skip worrying about this now because I don’t tak crypto seriously”

Basically to the ruling class and those closest to the money printer. Inflation benefits asset owners the most. Hence I think the “rich get richer” actually happens indirectly through monetary expansion.

Those are the same people that are holding the majority of bitcoin. and with a fixed amount available. That creates a situation where those with less become beholden to those that control the resource.

He is. He's promoted it in the past, bought shawarma with Lightning from @npub12ym4...2gc5 well before Trump did it (did a video with Ali), and voluntarily disclosed his assets to include ₿ and Bitcoin ETFs (plus some other ETFs).

Agreed it's a big scam I also know our ancestors went to sew because they said that they'd been robbed of their Gold I mean if our ancestors had anything to do with it they'd want us to find the words to speak and the evidence to show their wrongs because even they wanted what was taken.
