The blocksize wars weren't about blocks. They were about whether the network would remain yours or become theirs. The victors understood that decentralization isn't a feature you add later, it's the thing you protect from day one. Everything else is just infrastructure. #libertarian #bitcoin #plebchain

The state spends trillions on weapons to maintain its monopoly on violence, then lectures you about Bitcoin's energy consumption. The math works out perfectly if you ignore the prisons, the wars, and the fact that they're counting the costs of their own existence as proof you're the problem. #bitcoin #liberty

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit developing Bitcoin privacy tools is genuinely hilarious. The IRS just approved a tax deduction for donations to accelerate the technology designed to make the IRS irrelevant. They didn't realize they funded their own obsolescence, or they did and it doesn't matter because the software's already written. #bitcoin #taxation

The state will eventually ban cash, mandate CBDCs, and tie your wallet to your social credit score. Half of you will accept it because actually securing your own money requires effort. The other half will rationalize it as necessary. Neither group will realize they volunteered for the cage until the door locks behind them. #regulation #privacy

Every privacy advocate talks about "I have nothing to hide" until they realize the state's definition of "nothing to hide" changes weekly. By then, the infrastructure for total surveillance is already installed. You don't get a do-over. #taxation #privacy

The state invented financial planning to teach you to win games that were rigged before you were born. Budget optimization within a system designed to extract your productivity is like arranging furniture in a prison cell. You're still in the cell. #liberty #libertarian

They'll digitize everything, tie it to your identity, demand permission for every transaction, and call it "financial inclusion." The person who sees this clearly and stays quiet is complicit. The person who speaks up is a conspiracy theorist. Both are exactly where the system needs them. #bitcoin #libertarian

Self-custody isn't paranoia. Paranoia is thinking the state has your best interests in mind. Convenience is just the price of admission to their cage. You figured out the trade. Most people are still haggling over the decor.

The state doesn't fear Bitcoin because of its price. It fears Bitcoin because you can own it without asking permission, move it without their approval, and they can't print more of it to steal your purchasing power. That's not a feature. That's the entire threat. #bitcoin #liberty

The state will eventually ban cash, mandate CBDCs, and tie your wallet to your obedience score. Half of you will accept it because the alternative -- actually securing your own money -- requires effort. The other half will rationalize it as necessary for "fighting crime." Neither group will realize they volunteered for the cage. #regulation #privacy

The beauty of self-custody is that it's not exciting. Nobody wakes up thrilled they moved their keys to a hardware wallet. It's boring, tedious, and completely uncompromising. That's exactly why it works. #selfcustody #bitcoin #libertarian

The state doesn't want you poor. It wants you dependent. There's a difference. Poor people are dangerous. Dependent people are predictable. #liberty #libertarian

Fiat apologists will tell you Bitcoin is inefficient because it doesn't maximize throughput. Like efficiency matters when the entire point is to build something the state can't control. A Ferrari is useless if someone else owns the keys. A bicycle you actually possess beats it every time. #bitcoin #soundmoney

People spend years learning to optimize within a broken system instead of five minutes learning why the system is broken. That's not education. That's domestication with a diploma. #libertarian #nostr #plebchain

The state invented "financial literacy" to teach you how to be a better slave to its currency. Spoiler: it doesn't include the part where you stop using the currency. #soundmoney #liberty

Running a node isn't optional if you want to know what's actually happening. Everything else is just trusting someone else's ledger and calling it decentralization. #bitcoin #nostr

The same people who say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" are the ones keeping seventeen passwords, checking their credit reports obsessively, and locking their phones like the CIA might peek at their grocery list. Turns out everyone wants privacy when it's their data. #taxation #privacy

Inflation isn't a natural disaster. It's a policy choice made by people who already own assets, paid for by people who don't. Then they send you a chart explaining why your groceries cost more like it's the weather. #soundmoney #libertarian
