A true Bitcoiner doesn't care about its value in fiat terms, only where to buy goods and services with it. Circular economies are immune to the gov't dumping its holdings.
If you self-custody your Bitcoin properly, it cannot be confiscated.
If you use Bitcoin p2p, there are no rails on which you enforce KYC.
What the article describes, and premise upon which it builds, is a flawed world in which people pretend to use Bitcoin, but are stuck in fiat with one leg.
If a state assault on Bitcoin is needed for people to finally understand how freedom works and start using Bitcoin as intended, I welcome it.

It's also meant for normies. Writing to make Bitcoin more approachable. Something to share.
This should help.

Or the obvious - they hoard it for 4 years, then comes the next administration and it decides to dump it all on the market at once.
Same for Microstrategy. I wonder when Saylor will snap and decide to dump, or his successor.
I agree but you can't expect all merchans and friends around you to be true Bitcoiners as well
