The SBR discussion is complex A) We should want American citizens, families, communities, and businesses to hold BTC, not the state But… B) It is unrealistic to expect that Bitcoin grows into a global currency without government adoption Government interest (as opposed to ignorance or dismissal or attacks) is absolutely a signal that Bitcoin is evolving, growing, and succeeding If Bitcoin was dying no one would be talking about an SBR (obviously) SBR advocacy *will probably* hasten the transition to the Bitcoin standard But such advocacy is also fraught with traps of centralization and government shitcoining (as we are watching play out) IMO it’s ok to not have a black and white take on this Probably more important than SBR advocacy (which will happen anyway if NGU continues) is civil liberties advocacy to ensure Americans can use Bitcoin privately, self-custodially, and p2p and to ensure American companies and developers can build tools that enable this reality
