"Literally no person, entity, organization, or government… can control a bitcoin transaction." Really? You don't think for one minute that the government cannot turn off the electricity and cable to your house? Without electricity how will you get to your bitcoin? How will you trade it? If the electrical grid goes down you will not have anything of value with your bitcoin. Sure, bitcoin is a neat idea, but it takes a resource not in your control to access the bitcoin. An EMP over the CONUS and your bitcoin will be inaccessible forever. Gold and silver are physical and can be stored in a box in the ground. Bitcoin does not have that advantage.
The opposite scenario is also true. Government can confiscate your gold and silver if they want. Try crossing a border with 100k in gold and see how far you get.
The EMP argument is extremely farfetched if you ask me and not a good reason to dismiss the entire concept of digital currency, which has lots of good applications.
No one is arguing that Bitcoin can be used at all times under all circumstances - sure, if the government kills the power grid and/or the internet it will cause disruptions but no one will lose their money. It still can't be confiscated and will still be there when the grid is restored.
I already told you. Censorship (especially on r/Bitcoin and bitcointalk), subversion of code repository, and lies about block size change intentions (New York agreement) and manipulating miner greed. Divide and conquer like they always do.
One day you will realize that you are the commie of crypto and have teamed up with big banks through tether and bitfinex to create the next iteration of the banking industry when ever you use lightning.
This guy gets it. Bitcoin is a peer to peer system of value exchange. It cuts third parties and middle men out of financial transactions. And in the long run it makes banks and state currencies, both historically tools of enslavement, obselete.
What do you think of the push for layer 2 networks for scaling?
Personally I remember the hash wars of 2017, where factions fought over the Bitcoin block size being permanently capped at 1MB. Unfortunately in my opinion, the bad guys won that battle and now Bitcoin is forever crippled and will probably never reach its full potential. This is why Bitcoin growth has stalled and it became all about HODLing instead of appreciating the art of peer to peer digital commerce. Layer 2 seems to be nothing more than the central bankers attempt to insert themselves back into the mix while making it look like Bitcoin was just fundamentally flawed and they are providing services on top of it so they own the tracking and metadata layer.
I'm still fairly new to the bitcoin space. My orange pill moment was watching the drama with the trucker protests in Canada, and shortly after watching Clif High explain BTC on the Devolution Power Hour. Do you have anywhere you'd recommend that I can read up on the topics you mentioned?
There has been a concerted effort to delete all historical accounts of what happened during the covert BTC takeover so it's almost impossible for new people to learn about but this documentary sums it up very nicely.
How can you control something that has no manageable governance control within it’s core foundation?
Literally no person, entity, organization, or government… can control a bitcoin transaction.
Sure, they can control the final bank “landing spot”… but what happens when banks cease to exist? What will they do to try and “control” bitcoin then?
Open your eyes :D
Bitcoin is the single biggest threat to the globalist’s agenda.

BTC got taken over through marxist developers in 2015 and is not functional as bitcoin.
BTC is not a threat to them, they converted it into a tool.
What exactly were they able to change in the protocol to make it controllable?
Lmao
You are spewing pure bullshit :)
