Make Bitcoin in America Great Again
summary
Claim: institutional adoption—ETFs, BlackRock, KYC—corrupts Bitcoin and mirrors the administrative state that rent-seeks, enabled by fiat printing. Specifics: an estimate of 50+% rent-seeking in the economy and the X example of cutting 90% of staff illustrate bloated intermediaries. Proposed remedies are grassroots self-sovereignty, Free State-style organizing, political pressure (including freeing Ross) and a push toward a Bitcoin standard within 5–10 years, with the caveat that a contentious fight may follow.
