Coinbase cofounder and early Bitcoiner Brian Armstrong has been notoriously apolitical, cold-blooded, and sensible compared to most others in the industry… stoic to a Vulcan degree.
In a recent speech, he called recent regulator actions “fundamentally anti-American” and explained — in a sophisticated yet simple manner — why Uncle Sam doesn’t want the consumer and citizen to have true control over his or her own purchasing power.

Of course crypto is a risk: elderly John Podesta and clueless Elizabeth Warren could actually win. An outlawing of all crypto, and a public beheading of its major promoters as rebels against the Federal Reserve Borg.
So that risk is part of why a Bitcoin is not, say, a million dollars. It’s not a sure thing. Most normies don’t believe in crypto: “I saw the frizzy haired young man on CNN misled many people with his FTX and I won’t be in any time soon,” the literal view of millions of humans in my own country alone.
And yet.
People like Armstrong had a choice: abandon ship and simp to elderly boomers in DC, or go all the fucking way. Happy to see him pick the second choice. He could have built 5 Facebooks, and instead he helped Bitcoin become an unstoppable force.
By going directly against crypto, these handful of adrenochomo boomers in DC have totally miscalculated — and I’m here for it, both literally, and with my popcorn, and bag of coins. They’ve activated all these brilliant young people by fucking us over these last few years.
It makes me deeply bullish, I have to say.
Crypto is one of the ways we are going to humble these freaks. Not the only way.
Onward,
D
