I have news for you... I agree with you but this has been the status quo for my entire life. When I was a kid there were 3 networks and a few newspapers that told people what to think. The US has been like this my entire life. Now its online with the tech giants as you say. Just a different set of faces.
The salute doesn't matter. Power does. The Biden crime family is out and the Trump / Paypal mafia is in...
They aren't Nazis but that doesn't mean they are good people either. I refuse to be afraid of these clowns whatever they are.
Here's a real simple category. They are all statists. The state is evil and needs to be abolished as an idea. People worship it. There are different forms like facism, communism, and democracy but they all have one thing in common. A monopoly on violence that they exert on the plebs.
Its not that Trump isn't bad or Musk isn't bad. Its that what came before them was as bad if not worse. Arguing about that is kinda pointless really.
Don't be afraid of these clowns. We have freedom money and we will win. Its not happening any time soon but we aren't losing.
Just having Bitcoin is not enough.
We need ideas and platforms with which to share them, ways to influence, ways to communicate, and we need to offer people something better than what the politicians can.
"We have freedom money and we will win." The vast majority of Bitcoin purchased is KYC. And there are really few places where people can actually spend their Bitcoin. That has been stomped out and meanwhile the president is apparently selling... memecoins of himself.
Other than El Salvador and Lugano, Switzerland (which I wrote about) there are very few places to spend Bitcoin day to day and governments have somehow made sure it's not used as a MoE.

I'm not a Trump fan and my outlook is the same regardless of what he does. My outlook is generational.
Its gonna be ok man. The world is going on and we don't win tomorrow but we don't lose either. I don't have time to map it out for you but we disagree... that's fine. Just try to not worry but rather focus on making yourself resilient to whatever may come. Focus on what is in your control and do what you can. If that means moving somewhere else do it. If that means something else focus on that.
I'm not just on autopilot here. I'm not passively waiting for bitcoin to fix the world. I just have no control over Trump or Elon. Just me and what I do.

Trump did what he said he was going to do... aka with regards to Ross.
And for that I am very surprised. And also kind of amazed honestly that he kept to his campaign promises.
Good for him.
