then they fight you
All great revolutions face resistance as social change progresses through people. This may happen gradually or suddenly, but there will be resistance. People do not easily change their worldview. We (Americans) will experience the next chapter of the great currency war with the approval of the Bitcoin ETF. This approval will change the Bitcoin adoption process for better or worse and is a good reason to be alarmed about what is coming.
Approval of a Bitcoin ETF would send a loud message to money managers around the world: “Our U.S. government considers Bitcoin a safe asset in which you can invest.” Now, if you’re like me, you could care less about what the SEC says or does. This is freedom money. But for millions of people across the U.S., this is a big green signal that their BTC exposure is safe.
If you’ve ever spent any time on Twitter or followed financial market news, you’re probably tired of Bitcoin ETF application updates, tight deadlines, insider whispers, and all the nonsense that accompanies this important moment. There’s a good reason why this is getting a ton of coverage, and that reason alone should make you pause to think about what’s about to happen. The tinfoil hat inside me is buzzing. Whenever media reports match, it usually means something is being coordinated.
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
So what exactly is being adjusted, you ask? That’s a good question. There are no answers, only guesses. I expect the ETF approval will send shockwaves through the markets in some way, resulting in both intended and unintended consequences. What concerns me is that we are being targeted by the US government as a threat to the regime. In the words of Gandhi, we are certainly in the “then they fight you” stage of revolution. The only thing about this fight is that the U.S. government will likely fight it unconventionally. It is 100% guaranteed that they are conducting psychological operations on social media, and trained talking heads have been running the lines for months. Both of these activities will increase, setting the stage for U.S. government intervention and confiscation scenarios. There is a lot going on right now, including ETFs, halving, elections, overall macroeconomic situation, war in the East, etc… So how will this unfold?
vague timeline
- ETF approval
- NY Banking Cartel Begins Massive Accumulation
- New experts are coming on the scene, spewing nonsense, and they are here to “fix” Bitcoin.
- US government warns Bitcoin poses threat to US sovereignty
- NY Banking Cartel accumulation increases as interest rates soar (Streisand effect)
- The US government issues 6102 Bitcoins.
- The US government begins pegging newly seized CBDCs (aka Stablecoin variants) pegged to BTC.
- Criminalizing Ethical Bitcoin (No KYC)
- Statecoin and Bitcoin fork war
- The U.S. government learns the hard way about how Bitcoin defends its network.
This may all be a delusional fantasy by a cabal, but it is well worth thinking about, at least to think about what we are facing. In the best case scenario, the US government will not intervene in the market and Bitcoin will take us to the stars. Another plausible scenario could see Mark Goodwin’s Bitcoin dollar theory become a reality as the U.S. government discovers that Bitcoin is the cleanest asset and tool underpinning an infinite U.S. Treasury market. Based on the US government’s track record, I expect them to intervene in a very negative way, and much sooner than anyone could imagine, as the value of Bitcoin will soar like a rocket. “It will happen gradually and then suddenly” has much more meaning as we enter the “sudden” phase of the fight.
Despite the bleak outlook for what to expect from the U.S. government, I am very optimistic about individuals. I saw more building in the Bitcoin space during the last halving than I could have imagined. I am confident that this war will not be easy and that we will soon enter the “and you will win” phase.
