So which is your type? Intellectual or conquerer/mass murderer?
Bitcoiners are acting in solidarity with a government mandating people use a certain money.
Bitcoin was supposed to replace fiat. Instead it became fiat.

The crypto market is still very far from reaching any levels of sanity.
While I hate $BTC, seeing scamcoins like Doge, LTC, ETH and similar schemes getting hyped instead of real p2p money is rather disappointing.
Value based on utility? That's dangerous thinking, Twatter.
Hopefully we can reinvent reality, better.
Totally. We can, and I think we are in the process of teaching people that it's in their best interest to stop being criminals and stop tolerating criminality

Yes, I am continuously surprised by the depth and breadth of anarchist thinking (and doing!) in the late 19th / early 20th century. Anarchism was much more widespread then.
So much fascinating history has been mostly supressed. It's almost as if some people don't want you to know how close anarchism came to the mainstream for a while there.
...or to escape the devise suffix trap with a prefix, Meta-anarchy. I didn’t know it had such a deep history though.

Interesting TI2L. It also defines a pluralist position, Anarcho-[lets just see what suffix works best where]...

Anarcho-[something]: Insert word to create new anarchist ideology. Describe ideology in 184 characters or less.
Plenty of evidence exists you just refuse too believe in it.
Humans have a long track record of filling unknowns with pure bullshit.
So, I don't think atheists have faith, if you have faith you are not an atheist.
Faith = believing without evidence.
It is the ultimate mark of unintelligence.

Anarcho-totalitarianism: The regime monitors and controls your every action to make sure you are 100% free. If you are ever coerced, you will be forcibly uncoerced.

e.g ‘Anarcho-molism: reject the tyranny of the surface for a life of ungovernable subterranean freedom.’

Just think if they connected that spinning cone to a generator it could power the escalator and it would run forever..
52 tweets is nothing... Twitter and Facebook routinely remove thousands of posts that express anti-zionist views at the request of the Israeli government, without even a court order.
Just last week, Israel's ridiculous supreme court decided this practice is constitutional, because SOME of the posters MAY be bots, and thus don't have human rights :-D
I kid you not.
Governments and big tech control your every thought. Don't let them. Opt out and use decentralized tech.

But the bigger issue is, I think miners do control the protocol. 51% of miners decide what Bitcoin is, that's part of the original design. They can certainly force protocol changes.
I agree than in practice, miners follow the price, but they *should* have a longer view of what is good for Bitcoin (for the good of their own long term profit).
Not exactly, a soft cap is a decision by the majority of miners not to accept blocks from *other* miners above a certain size, despite the protocol allowing such blocks.
