You wouldn't need to write a book if you weren't an outlier
"Shedding it's anti-government slant" is the cope, Bitcoin being a product of the national security state means it was never anti-government. The conference being a MAGA rally is soft-disclosure / limited hangout of this.
Bringing weak shit like this to an AMA after the excellent set up I gave you? pathetic.
- There's a conservative case for bitcoin book too. :)
- You're making a lot of assumptions - I don't believe Bitcoin is a product of the national security state.
- Your excellent set up was just a framing for me to chose between two ways progressives are bad. I'm not interested in that.

There's a conservative case for bitcoin
Bitcoin is just as ick to conservatives as it is to progressives, if conservatives in the modern sense were effective Bitcoin wouldn't be necessary.
You're making a lot of assumptions
I'm highlighting evidence supporting a thesis, what I want to understand is given the preponderance of that evidence how you square the circle. You don't need to agree with the conclusion.
ways progressives are bad
You were served a lay-up to explain why Bitcoin's global nature make its it anti-nationalist and or that the adoption of solutions regardless of their provenance is emblematic of progressive values.
Your negative response to that set-up projects progressive self-loathing.
