“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
The path of most Bitcoiners:
1) Thinks BTC is a ‘Ponzi Scheme’
2) Becomes a Noobie bitcoiner
3) Then becomes a bitcoin maximalist
4) Soon realizes bitcoin is slow, can’t scale and has poor privacy
5) Dives deep into bitcoin layer 2s and notices they all require trusting custodians or require activating soft forks to scale
6) Starts campaigning for an upgrade to bitcoin core (such as Blocksize increase, Mweb, CTV, Drivechain, CTs etc)
7)Is met with resistance from the community, with comments such as “Bitcoin is already perfect money” or “What’s the rush?”
8)Then gets called a “shitcoiner” or a “scammer” or a “fed”
9) Rage quits the bitcoin community publicly
10) Starts promoting cryptocurrencies that actually enable private P2P ecash as described in the bitcoin white paper such as Monero.
Not everybody follows this path but for myself I can check off most these happenings. Unless you meet a Monero Maximalist every Monero bro used to be a Bitcoiner. Douglas Tuman is an enigmatic figure monero enthusiast that has championed the cause of a Monerotopia for freedom, liberty and privacy. One of the forms this takes is his channel Monero Talk. Episode 282 with Nima Bagheri changed my paradigm on Bitcoin or perhaps more accurately confirmed my biases. Douglas is a strong imposing character with the forum of MoneroTalk but in this episode I seen his identity get challenged, truths that he was unable to stomach and a peace offering of common ground get slapped out of his hand.
I personally didn’t need verification of anything Bagheri said, I believed he had the skill-set of Cyber security expert to validate all the claims he was making. My gut was right. The pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto has created a mystery and lore that in it’s own right has eclipsed the individual or group that created Bitcoin. What makes Bitcoin so great that we would extol it’s creator with such high accolades? It’s Decentralized: a distributed network worldwide with no single points of failure. Only 21 million Bitcoins will ever exist, nobody will ever inflate the supply. Bitcoin is borderless nothing stop you from sending it anywhere in the world. Bitcoin is permissionless nobody within the network or outside of it can stop you from making a transaction. Let’s break these down shall we:
1) The transparent Ledger and it’s propagation are decentralized in that the history of Bitcoin transactions are held in the Nodes of participants all over the worldwide. You can trust transactions are verified by various computers that run a Bitcoin node. The everyday person does not need all their private transactions available to anyone who knows their public key. This is beneficial to threat actors who can verify your identity and net worth that is possible worth their time.
2) There aren’t 21 million bitcoins there’s even less. 1 million is locked up in Satoshi’s vault. 2 to 3 million have been lost due to people losing their private keys or hard drives that used to contain Bitcoin being thrown in Landfills. That’s good right less Bitcoin available means that the ones I control are more valuable because the supply is low. The price of Bitcoin is inflated by the printing of Tether, Bitcoin requires hardware processing power and the price of electricity to generate. Tether can be minted out of thin air. The system you thought you were escaping was just repackaged and sold to you again. A Bitcoin ETF was literally the worst thing that could happen to Bitcoin.
3) Do you accept Bitcoin? I mean would you use it as currency, would you exchange goods and services for it? Probably not because the whole crypto ecosystem puts the cart before the horse. It can’t work as currency because it only allows 7 TPS or roughly 2000 transactions per 10 minute block. But the scaling limitations are not the main barrier to adoption but the mindset of the Bitcoiners who are still fiat minded. Inflating government currencies are your real life and most haven’t even attempted to live on a Bitcoin standard but honestly why would you? It means less good and services available to you besides that’s not the current narrative – save in Bitcoin and protect yourself from inflation. This translates to don’t use the network all of your dreams of will come true in a network that has yet to establish itself in it’s infancy and cogitative dissonance about the Federal Reserve system.
4) The Mining Infrastructure of Bitcoin is completely centralized. The main pools are AntPool, Foundry USA, ViaBTC and F2pool this translates into Amazon.com, Google Cloud, DataWebGlobal and Digital Ocean. Even the other pools that are supposed to be independent pools are really just subsidiaries of Ant Pool. Bitcoin belongs to China and America. China has half the world living in a Skynet dystopia and America is the most hostile cryptocurrency nation to ever exist. All the miners in these countries must be fully KYC’d to legally mine bitcoin. The issuance of Bitcoin is controlled beyond the parameters set in the whitepaper how soon until you as Bitcoiner are brought to heel?

This usally how Anti Virus companies can block 100 malware with just one signature (few bytes of code) from a hacker machine even when the hackers release a new version of the same malware over and over but Anti Viruses are able to catch them because they have created one unique footprint from a hacker’s computer.
Nima used a PE Explorer to find a unique footprint from the first release of Bitcoin
Do you know how the Feds caught Ross Ulbricht the creator of the first Darknet Market The Silk Road? Ross never separated his criminal empire from his real life he freely gave up his Operational Security by updating his LinkedIn profile ‘creating an economic simulation designed to give people first-hand experience of what it would be like to live in a world without the systemic use of force’. It was also correlated that as he was signed in as Dread Pirate Roberts he also signed into his gmail where he KYC’d himself.
Adam Back also made similar mistakes on his Wikipedia were initially he described himself as Politically he has libertarian, capitalist, cypherpunk, crypto-anarchist leanings. Interestingly enough, 4 weeks after Satoshi had disappeared from the public this information about Adam Back was changed to Crypto Anarchist and Capitalist Leanings by his good buddy software engineer David Eppstein.

Here Adam when describing himself in his own words has in fact described Bitcoin (Crypto-anarchism is a political ideology focusing on the protection of privacy, political freedom, and economic freedom.) Bruce Wayne doesn’t call himself Bruce he refers to himself as Batman. Black Adam is the same ShaaaZaMMM!
The Richest Man in Babylon
Why hasn't Satoshi moved his 1 million Bitcoins? If he transfer his Bitcoin from his vault then HMRC (His Majesty's Revenue and Customs) would question him regarding his potential income. Adam founded his company in Canada and he moved to Malta. Satoshi the Cypherpunk is looking at possible jail time for tax evasion if he ever moves a significant portion of the Bitcoin supply.
Another Red flag that maybe Satoshi might have been Cypherpunk poser.
“WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet’s nest, and the swarm is headed towards us. [...] I make this appeal to WikiLeaks not to try to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a small beta community in its infancy. You would not stand to get more than pocket change, and the heat you would bring would likely destroy us at this stage.”
- Founder Senior Member Satoshi
Does that sound remotely close to the Cypherpunk Manfesto: We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.
That was a very anti-bitcoin thing to say Nakamoto but Julian Assange is a three-letter agency asset. Know who else are CIA assets; Edward Snowden and Alex Jones they are called controlled opposition they give you the illusion of defying the system but really they uphold it. Do you honestly believe a NSA Analyst escaped his government job with classified secrets and was granted asylum in Russia? These people killed a president and when an agent goes rogue they just disappear. How about Alex’s trial did he defend himself with logic and reason, no he lied down and did what he was told. Alex gave you some truth but do you honestly believe he snuck into Bohemian Grove and revealed their Satanic rituals. No they wanted you to know what they do. What was the message you got from Julian Assange imprisonment? If you speak out against the system you will be jailed, it’s a nice story that Julian got a plea agreement and was released on bail. Know who’s never getting a plea agreement because he’s not an asset Ross Ulbricht or the Samurai Developers who are money transmitters, no amount of lawyers are going to successful defend them against the farce of Justice that exist today.
Bitcoin is going to Zero
“If you knew who was really behind Bitcoin, really behind Bitcoin… you would run as fast as you fucking could to sell it. I know, one hundred percent!”

Did you know there were a lot of OG Bitcoiners who were there from the start and 8 years later in 2017 became Millionaires and walked away from crypto? There were also OGs like Nima Bagheri that realized what Bitcoin was sold it and never looked back. What does it mean for Bitcoin if Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto? It means that a core group of developers helped Adam maintain a Bitcoin Cartel in Bitcoin Forum Talks which included: Gavin Andresen, Pieter Wuille, Nils Schneider, Martti Malmi and Jeff Garzik. When Satoshi Nakamoto stepped away publicly and Gavin Andresen tried wrestle control away from him with a Hardfork people were censored and silenced and probably threaten with NDAs. Bitcoin Cartel migrates to Blockstream founded by Adam Back, Erik Svenson, Pieter Wuille, and others in 2014. Under his alter ego of Adam Back Bitcoin does everything it can to stifle innovation. The last fight for Bitcoin’s soul is realized in the Block size wars as Big Blockers and Small Blockers duke it out. The Cartel defeats it’s only real enemy Bitcoin Jesus and his followers. Micheal Saylor, Max Kieser, Jack Dorsey and the Cult of Laser-eyes take over and Bitcoin and company has been stumbling to Number Go Up ruin ever since.
I remember during COVID I was arguing with someone at the plant about COVID 19 injections. At the time I thought it was out of concern for someone who didn’t have all the facts. I gave my opinion with logical facts but then this guy came back at me really hard parroting what mainstream media was spouting at the time. I went silent not because I didn’t have a rebuttal but because I realized that I was talking to someone so heavily indoctrinated and no amount of truth, logic or facts would change his mind. His coworkers were more mild and re-enforced his points. It seemed I had lost the debate. Today is that guy vaccine injured or worse dead, I don’t know he was someone I used to know? This is the calm before the storm. I am in the 3rd Stage of Deprogramming: 1) Weeding the Garden 2) Down the Rabbit Hole 3) Oversharing 4) Watch Out 5) Watch. I get you might not be where I am in my journey, I get the need to defend your identity as my world view threatens your current paradigm. I freely welcomed the disillusionment of what I thought I knew and I have been pursuing the truth since. Truther spend their whole lives verify the truth for themselves but alas all is a chase after the wind. Make sure you survive so you can enjoy your life not with material goods but with the peace you have been searching for your whole life which none of your choice possessions can compare.
