Governments Don't Have To Destroy Bitcoin - The Toxic Community Will Take Care of The Job | Parallels With Bitcoin and French Revolution

in #informationwar6 years ago

When great things collapse it tends to from within. Even Jesus was betrayed by on who was very close to him. Bitcoin was meant to do great things. Fiat money backed by nothing had taken over the world and the monetary system was under the whims of governments and voluntary actions and trade was under threat due to arbitrary regulation and taxation. The Bitcoin Whitepaper which was a surprisingly easy to understand read. It pushed things in a certain direction that gave way to P2P Electronic cash that can function without centralized control.

What's the worst thin that could have happened to Bitcoin? I'd say that would be Bitcoin ending up much like the system it was meant to replace. Cryptocurrency was finally the solution for those who believe in free markets and voluntarism. It was supposed to be a place for meritocracy and where utility always beat ideology and connectivity and interoperability beat tribalism. But among many others comes a man who claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto who presented dubious proof.

I won't make decisions for you. But I'll present this wired.com article titled OW CRAIG WRIGHT PRIVATELY 'PROVED' HE CREATED BITCOIN


When a person brings up working together while competing strongly the reply is "You have no idea, no clue, not a thought". How is this any different from some tribalistic politician?

Here is Another Craig Wright Quote

“A note. Many like to treat me like Casandra. Well, here is your warning to ignore at your peril. We will win this fast, or we will win this slow, but, we will win this. Others would like this to be “nicer”, I would prefer a lesson. I want to have people understand Bitcoin. If it means we spend a year or more slowly bleeding every satoshi of value one by one from the ABC chain, we will. Without exception.

If ABC stays on SHA256d and does not add replay protection, we will hound it. Not until it is weak, not until it is unlisted on every miner and major and home level exchange globally, but until the last CPU running it anywhere globally burns out. If this means chasing a lone dev with a CPU to burn that last vestige of hope, and you think I will not, then, you do not know me! But, you will learn. This is not vengeance. It is a lesson. And I intend to burn it into the hearts and souls of all the socialists in ABC so their great grand children do not forget it!

Have a nice day.”


Craig Wright also like to end his tweets with "Have a nice day" despite being utterly toxic to everybody and showing open hostility and veiled threats in the form of "The end is one or nothing" towards other cryptocurrency projects. Craig Wright is a cancer and he is only one among many. Since you have already experienced the capabilities of DPoS I can safely share the following content without risking people getting brainwashed by these lies that are on par with Keynesian economics that has been wrecking economies.

Parallels With French Revolution

At first, the theory of the people’s state as a champion of liberty seemed to work out in practice. The earliest legislative acts of Revolutionary France were predominantly liberal. Because of peasant resistance, feudalism had already been declining under the monarchy. But the National Assembly finished it off by abolishing serfdom outright. Then it passed a Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which contained the Lockean pronouncement that, “The aim of all political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.”

But the French soon learned that a people’s state can be even more oppressive and absolutist than an autocratic monarchy, and even less likely to brook any resistance. The new Committee of Public Safety, under Jacobin leader Maximilien Robespierre, then initiated the Reign of Terror: a wave of political violence, including prison massacres and thousands of beheadings, that made the political repression of the overthrown regime look tame in comparison.

Around the same time, the Republic also instituted the levée en masse, an unprecedented war mobilization of the entire French population, including a military draft of all young, unmarried men. The people’s state had abolished the corvée (a serf’s obligation to his master of unpaid labor) only to then institute universal state servitude.

The Republic’s worst single atrocity was the War in the Vendee. An anti-revolutionary rural population revolted against Paris’s attempt to conscript their sons into war. In crushing the insurrection, the Republican government killed as many as over a quarter of a million peasants. Rebel prisoners—men, women, and children—were executed in mass crowds by gunfire and drowning. A state massacring its own people at such a scale was at that time almost unprecedented.

The Republic had promised, as the revolutionary slogan said, “liberty, equality, fraternity.” Instead it delivered conscription, subordination, fratricide.

The revolutionaries’ devotion to collective power came, not only from their classical reading, but from their fascination with the political ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a protege of Mably. Rousseau redrafted the social contract and reconstituted the people’s state in a more radically collectivist direction. In his version of the great contractual exchange, the individual offers total submission to “popular sovereignty,” which is the collective power of the people’s “general will.” In return, the individual as part of “the people” gains total power over every other individual through his participation in government. This, to Rousseau, was true freedom.

Bitcoin community has turned into a French Revolution. Governments can sit back and relax on Bitcoin because there has been barely substantial innovation (Compared to DPoS, Dash, Privacy Coins, DAG) and there is too much fighting within. I do want Craig Wright to fail miserably. But that is because he is as bad as George Soros and certainly much worse than Jamie Dimon.

I don't own any Bitcoin or any of its forks. I'm a person who do my research well and study many subjects. I know enough history to know that Bitcoin is as good as dead and Bitcoin Maximalists are the greatest threat to cryptocurrency. You don't have to take my word for it. Just imagine the world without anything but Bitcoin. Imagine a group with a cult like conviction that anything that is not Bitcoin must be ruined. This cult has already infiltrated crypto communities. There is no point arguing with them. Just leave them for greener places and embrace true innovation.

Another guy with fake claims. :D Satoshi Nakamoto might be wanting to kick his a**. ;)
