This is an opinion editorial by Phil Snyder, professor, video director and editor.
According to Merriam-Webster, a nation-state is: “A form of political organization under which a relatively homogeneous people inhabit a sovereign state.”
Is that what Bitcoiners are — or are turning into? Like it or not, Bitcoiners are political by default. If you consider in sound cash and act upon that perception by investing monetary sources, time, power, mind, emotion and can into house, you are in direct political opposition to the present world system. But are we comparatively homogeneous? Yes! If we enable that homogeneity could be an abstraction reasonably than restricted to bodily genetic origins. What binds us as a nation is our shared allegiance to such everlasting values as love, peace, equity and liberty. What preserves us as a nation is that we voluntarily submit to the rule of regulation embodied within the Bitcoin protocol — a code of honor that rewards the follow of these values and punishes breaches of the contract written in that code. Do we inhabit a sovereign state? Again, I consider that within the summary the reply is “yes.” Bitcoiners, by definition, are sovereign people. We declare ourselves sovereigns over our personal wealth and destinies by eschewing the Keynesian economics mannequin and its fiat cash system enshrined in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) that corrupts every thing it touches.
We are what Abraham Lincoln describes within the Gettysburg Address as “…a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” This form of speak is “fightin’ words” when it reaches the ears of the King Georges of the world, who declare themselves sovereign over us. We are revolutionaries within the true sense of the phrase and are at battle with those that search to enslave us. Though we commit no bodily violence, our very existence and our thought crimes are anathema to the fiat elites. We can level to January 3, 2009, because the day the nation was conceived with the Genesis block. Since then, we have now been gestating and creating as physique and soul, hidden within the womb of cryptographic code and shielded from prying eyes. But the day of start is coming quickly with the requisite labor pains. It appears to be like like we have now escaped the abortionist, however will we succumb to worry on the disaster of start as enemies unleash all of the weapons at their disposal? The ESG disinformation peddlers, the worldwide banking institution, their minions in governments and their vicious enforcers are not going to merely declare victory and allow us to be on our method in peace.
There are some who speak of forming a Bitcoin political get together, which can sound good at first, however Bitcoiners are worldwide, residents of the world. If you comply with the logical development, you can even say we have already got a world authorities, one which isn’t beholden to another authorities with aspirations of world domination. “Bitcoinia” is genuinely sovereign, and that bestows on us the potential to be sovereign people as effectively. We have, if you’ll, plural citizenship. I’m a citizen of the USA, of Bitcoinia, and the Kingdom of God (a.okay.a., the Kingdom of Heaven). One is pure, one is digital and one is religious — a trifecta of sovereign allegiances.
As everyone knows, Bitcoin is one thing new, distinctive, and highly effective sufficient to change the world for the higher. I might declare the identical for “Bitcoinians.” As a nation, we are additionally totally distinctive — and but we are probably the most various union of peoples in historical past. There are many issues we disagree on, i.e., how to evangelize nocoiners, what swear phrases to use as adjectives when describing altcoin scammers, and simply how a lot privateness we are prepared to quit for institutional adoption and hyperbitcoinization. We are an unlikely assortment of among the wealthiest, most effectively-educated of each race and creed, along with among the unbanked poorest of the poor — all craving to breathe the contemporary air of freedom and drink the pure water of our God-given liberty. We lengthy to make our personal life selections, and never to be handled as chattel by a cabal of amoral self-anointed overlords.
But who, till now, ever thought there may very well be a functioning decentralized authorities with no dictator, president, or prime minister? Even in a libertarian’s wildest desires this might sound an impossibility. And but, right here we are. The potentialities are infinite, and the potential for good on this world “simply” by fixing the cash are past measuring. This isn’t to say that this miraculous protocol is a panacea for all of the world’s ills however is an awesome base from which to launch ‘until Christ returns.
We have plentiful causes to be optimistic and even giddy on the prospects of all that may and will probably be completed on this revolution. We are witnesses and individuals in an unprecedented historic turning with guarantees of ending infinite wars, worldwide productiveness, and absolutely unleashed financial prosperity. How does that look in actual life? Enjoy the present, of us!
