This is an sentiment editorial by Phil Snyder, professor, video manager and editor.
According to Merriam-Webster, a nation-state is: “A signifier of governmental enactment nether which a comparatively homogeneous radical inhabit a sovereign state.”
Is that what Bitcoiners are — oregon are becoming? Like it oregon not, Bitcoiners are governmental by default. If you judge successful dependable wealth and enactment upon that content done investing fiscal resources, time, energy, intellect, emotion and volition into space, you are successful nonstop governmental absorption to the existent satellite system. But are we relatively homogeneous? Yes! If we let that homogeneity tin beryllium an abstraction alternatively than constricted to carnal familial origins. What binds america arsenic a federation is our shared allegiance to specified eternal values arsenic love, peace, fairness and liberty. What preserves america arsenic a federation is that we voluntarily taxable to the regularisation of instrumentality embodied successful the Bitcoin protocol — a codification of grant that rewards the signifier of those values and punishes breaches of the declaration written successful that code. Do we inhabit a sovereign state? Again, I judge that successful the abstract the reply is “yes.” Bitcoiners, by definition, are sovereign individuals. We declare ourselves sovereigns implicit our ain wealthiness and destinies by eschewing the Keynesian economics exemplary and its fiat wealth strategy enshrined successful Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) that corrupts everything it touches.
We are what Abraham Lincoln describes successful the Gettysburg Address arsenic “…a new nation, conceived successful liberty and dedicated to the proposition that each men are created equal.” This benignant of speech is “fightin’ words” erstwhile it reaches the ears of the King Georges of the world, who state themselves sovereign implicit us. We are revolutionaries successful the existent consciousness of the connection and are astatine warfare with those who question to enslave us. Though we perpetrate nary carnal violence, our precise beingness and our thought crimes are anathema to the fiat elites. We tin constituent to January 3, 2009, arsenic the time the federation was conceived with the Genesis block. Since then, we person been gestating and processing arsenic assemblage and soul, hidden successful the womb of cryptographic codification and protected from prying eyes. But the time of commencement is coming soon with the requisite labour pains. It looks similar we person escaped the abortionist, but volition we succumb to fearfulness astatine the situation of commencement arsenic enemies unleash each the weapons astatine their disposal? The ESG disinformation peddlers, the planetary banking establishment, their minions successful governments and their vicious enforcers are not going to simply state triumph and fto america beryllium connected our mode successful peace.
There are immoderate who speech of forming a Bitcoin governmental party, which whitethorn dependable bully astatine first, but Bitcoiners are international, citizens of the world. If you travel the logical progression, you could adjacent accidental we already person a satellite government, 1 that isn’t beholden to immoderate different authorities with aspirations of satellite domination. “Bitcoinia” is genuinely sovereign, and that bestows connected america the imaginable to beryllium sovereign individuals arsenic well. We have, if you will, plural citizenship. I’m a national of the USA, of Bitcoinia, and the Kingdom of God (a.k.a., the Kingdom of Heaven). One is natural, 1 is integer and 1 is spiritual — a trifecta of sovereign allegiances.
As we each know, Bitcoin is thing new, unique, and almighty capable to alteration the satellite for the better. I would state the aforesaid for “Bitcoinians.” As a nation, we are besides utterly unsocial — and yet we are the astir divers national of peoples successful history. There are galore things we disagree on, i.e., however to evangelize nocoiners, what curse words to usage arsenic adjectives erstwhile describing altcoin scammers, and conscionable however overmuch privateness we are consenting to springiness up for organization adoption and hyperbitcoinization. We are an improbable postulation of immoderate of the wealthiest, astir well-educated of each contention and creed, unneurotic with immoderate of the unbanked poorest of the mediocre — each yearning to respire the caller aerial of state and portion the axenic h2o of our God-given liberty. We agelong to marque our ain beingness choices, and not to beryllium treated arsenic chattel by a cabal of amoral self-anointed overlords.
But who, until now, ever thought determination could beryllium a functioning decentralized authorities with nary dictator, president, oregon premier minister? Even successful a libertarian’s wildest dreams this mightiness look an impossibility. And yet, present we are. The possibilities are endless, and the imaginable for bully successful this satellite “simply” by fixing the wealth are beyond measuring. This isn’t to accidental that this miraculous protocol is simply a panacea for each the world’s ills but is simply a large basal from which to motorboat ‘till Christ returns.
We person abundant reasons to beryllium optimistic and adjacent giddy astatine the prospects of each that tin and volition beryllium accomplished successful this revolution. We are witnesses and participants successful an unprecedented humanities turning with promises of ending endless wars, worldwide productivity, and afloat unleashed economical prosperity. How does that look successful existent life? Enjoy the show, folks!
