Prediction, Bitcoin (and decentralisation in general) will be attacked as a vessel for circumvention of financial establishment right-wing censorship next. We must regulate it to prevent fundraising for another insurrection.

You can agree with decentralization and also agree that bitcoin is a terrible protocol.

Kind of how you can think the internet is great but think google is a blight.

ahh so you're for laying down whatever narrative gets you to your end goal. Right, I always trust someone with dishonest motives like that.

I'm not condoning the narrative, rather the opposite. Technocrats will attack decentralisation as it threatens their hegemony. My claim is they'll sell it under the guise of preventing domestic terrorism.
