“What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”

This quote by Mishima i was just reading encompasses the nature of bitcoin being the digital/physical bridge (it solves the oracle problem)
but it also shows my opinion about politics, i dont see things changing anytime soon, even if we all use bitcoin 100%. Some very stubborn people refuse to acknowledge Bitcoins censorship resistant properties or why we configure our nodes, instead clinging to the fantasy they are in a war against spammers and this incurs them some cost. its' frankly embarrassing to have so many people from our community so miseducated, blinded by their ideologies, to the basic functioning of Bitcoin in this server.  I apologize an all your behalves when I discuss this issue elsewhere. You are all a source of shame for me on this issue.

Bitcoin is neutral. Nothing can control Bitcoin although they can play with the price by up and down of the price. But once the time come, they will not be able to do the same because the situation will change.

The government just want to take benefit from Bitcoin user so they regulate it with strictly rules so the government can monitor and watch their activities related to Bitcoin. They use Bitcoin for their interest so we don't have to believe them while we can use Bitcoin for our own benefit.

Nah. It doesn't have to be the government because Bitcoin was created as a means to hold assets and transfer payments without the trust of a third party (which could be anyone that's not involved in the transaction process).

It depends on your personal understanding and usage of Bitcoin.
We have some people who use Bitcoin as an asset, and we have some who use it as currency. If you see Bitcoin as your right wing, so be it, but no one can ignore the fact that it's a true liberating digital asset.


People intend to create a FUD or misinformation about something they don't understand its potential or wish it varnish but waxing stronger.
You said it yourself that Bitcoin was unfairly blamed as a political tool for conservative.
Out of curiosity. Do you use AI to generate this content?

People like Trump sees the potential and the chance presented by crypto at all and decided to use it for their own selfish gain and I don't see any reason why Bitcoin should be blame or tarnish for that because this is not the first time we will see influenced/powerful people using something to enrich themselves.

Bitcoin has created an opportunity for users to work independently since it is not controlled by any government or bank. Many people knew about Bitcoin for a long time and did not pay attention to it, and now that the price of Bitcoin has increased so much, many have failed, so they will criticize it, but it is better for us to avoid them. Bitcoin will increase in popularity in the future and its price will increase relatively.

Just because Elon and Trump likes it, it doesn't mean its alt-right. I am not right by any means necessary and I love bitcoin. In fact, when it was first starting, it was anti-establishment, which is as further away from alt right as you can get. Alt right LOVES meddling with peoples lives, look at how they overturned abortion for example, they were interested in taking full control of BODY of human, that should tell you how they love being central power.

Bitcoin is AGAINST centralized power, hence why it was created decentralized. Just because they now like it, doesn't mean it became alt-right, it just means they are interested in something they shouldn't be interested in, but nothing about bitcoin has changed since the start.

Bitcoin is a symbol of freedom. Those who will try to centralize this decentralized currency are basically the enemies of Bitcoin. Anyone who can support it will not change the goal of Bitcoin. So some will support it and some will not accept, which is their personal matter. If anyone tries to take control of it in any case, it will be completely foolish. Letting Bitcoin run smoothly its course is also good for everyone. There is no need to show any biasness towards this. If someone loves it and wants to use its benefits, that's entirely up to them. Political power will change but Bitcoin will continue at its own pace.

There are a lot more genuine educational resources now than years ago when I joined the crypto space.
Nevertheless, the availability of the information to educate newbies is one thing but their preparation and willingness to have knowledge about Bitcoin is another thing eternally because 85% of newbies are not ready to learn about the fundamental aspect of Bitcoin which is why we see a lot of people that sees influencer recommendation of shitcoin (which is for marketing purposes) as an investment decision.

The most hurtful part of it is that they blame their naive mistakes on Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin principles/ideals are neither right or left wing.. They are basically principles both sides and others would hardly find issues in because they follow the basic or common-sense rules that should be the foundation of every society. They are fairly balanced ideals for everyone unlike the one sided or selfish ideals that do not take the fundamental rights of others into account.

Bitcoin is basically a framework for building a fair society, and a deviation can take society back to ideological conflicts.
It's where one side can run to for cover when the other side is becoming oppressive. And it can serve all sides.

Ofcourse, there will be attempt by the oppressive side to hijack it or change the narrative, but the oppressed sides and the principled ones will always resist

You said it all, it's just that the price movement of Bitcoin is now seeming to be influenced by higher investors which are companies and government getting it for economic reserve but that doesn't mean it's affecting the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, everyone still have their own part of the cake of the digital assets and can take it or leave it they want. The decentralized assets lets it more unique over governmental control making everyone getting involve in it at your own gauge.

There is no reason for anyone to know. All the stupid excuses that they make to justify these laws are fake. It does not limit crime, it does not prevent crime, it does not do anything except provide massive surveillance on the population. You should be able to do whatever you want with your money, including illegal activities if you decide to do them. It is your choice, and you will be the one who will face the consequences if you make that choice.

It can be seen as a progression of the detrimental impact that social media has had on the public space these days. Everything is being labeled based on who is saying it and who is doing the reporting.

It is a fallacy, probably something like category mistake. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Category_mistake

Quote from wikipedia. An idea can't be right wing or left wing. It may be created by someone on that political spectrum, it may be used often by people from that political spectrum but it still just remains an idea.
