I'm not seeing this discussed anywhere else.
Does not fit the geekcool hopium of the crypto media and markets.
The fungibility of BTC looks like it will turn into its Archilles heel. Any label could be attached to the undefined "used for crime" mantra - ie didn't declare for taxation, didn't provide ID, didn't channel it through and audited banking channel. The spectrum is so wide and so ill defined anything could fall under the banner of illicit.
Craig Wright (aka Faketoshi) assures us that permissionlessness will remain for everyone who is not a criminal. Yeah right. Was Martin Armstrong a criminal?
any market with value is eventually going to succumb to the power structures who've run the world for hundreds if not thousands of years
Because as I elaborated in my other reply, humans love government and hate 1 Samuel 8.
It’s not inevitable for those who choose to forsake Satan’s political and economic system.

18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[a] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.
I wrote in email recently:
There will be no “internal revival” until after America is a wasteland some decades from now (Armstrong targets 2095 as the Mad Max final collapse akin to the wasteland that was Rome when the population fell from 1.3 million to 30,000 and mostly cows grazing in the city). People will cling (all the way down into the economic and social abyss) to the trappings that got them in this predicament in the first place. We in the USA have a long arduous path of decline to go (Europe is much closer in time to the abyss, which my next blog will explain) because there will be many machinations along the way, for which I posited some enumeration in my prior email. As I said there will likely be (already is!) a bifurcation of State and Federal governance. We will be in double-jeopardy no matter what we do. It’s going to be an increasing clusterfuck that will get worse and worse every decade, but never quite bad enough compared to outside the USA to justify getting off the Titanic. And thus everyone will ride it all the way down to the bottom of ocean and ultimately all drown there some decades from now. Their kids and wifey will be destroyed. We will be destroyed. Etc.. As the Lord warned in 1 Samuel 8, and then brought to fruition in 1 Samuel 15.
As if free education would actually improve anything. They tried that in Argentina and Venezuela (and the USA) and made everything worse. USA was much better before free public education.

The more entitled people become, the less incapable they are of acting on their own initiative. Free education, healthcare, electricity, transportation, food, and housing just causes them to become more high pride, parasitic, unmotivated instead of humble, self-disciplined and responsible.
What is actually driving the riots in Chile is entitlement, expressed as jealousy and youthful immature rage unleashed/instigated by social media.

So they will think the following linked sort of complete nonsense (as if dividing up the ownership of large copper mines into a socialist collectives will accomplish anything but cause production to plummet and poverty to increase):

I was also listening to Breitbart's morning radio program on the way to work this morning. They had on a couple of guests who seemed to think that Kanye is on the leading edge of a growing conservative/Christian/MAGA emerging tidal wave in American pop culture. (paraphrasing)
OKAY SO LET’S CUT DIRECTLY TO THE GIST OF THE SORDID ISSUE.
Americans aren’t close to being truly red-pilled in a way that will stem the tide until:
They reject free public education. They reject delegation to a “Christian private school” that isn’t vetted to adhere to teaching values such as those enumerated herein. You will not find any such extant schools. They don’t exist. Because no people in the world are even close to being red-pilled yet (because people believe in the Satanic lies of fairness and democracy).
They reject income taxation.
They reject Caesar’s fiat money system, of which Bitcoin is the next and even worst variant of it.
They reject public welfare and health insurance.
They reject democracy and embrace Libertarian manorialism (competing and internetworked fiefdoms as we had before central banking was invented).
They reject egalitarianism. God provides us all a purpose, but not the same purpose as if spreading mayonnaise on everything to make it all taste the same will make all food equal. And that includes rejecting the fact that females are a rib of man, who (although can be quite intelligent and adorable sapient beings, do) subconsciously focus their intellect for parochial, reproductive hypergamy and thus typically can’t be disciplined, frugal, planners, leaders, and collectively they effectively shit test society (especially if empowered with the evil of self-destructive democracy, c.f. also) so the alphamales they reproductively crave can be distinguished from enslaved witless betamales:
They reject praying in a church so that they can be seen as righteous by others.
They reject usury.
They reject an insatiable lust for material things on Earth.
Presumably there’s a significant demarcation between my goals and those of you guys who are reading this, but please do correct me if my presumption is incorrect.
Presumably all of you more or less want to continue what you think are the advancements in modern society which are incongruent with some of my enumerated goals above.

Btw, torture in China:
