Does the verse mean that if they fight against us, we should pay them back? Because in Christianity, if someone slaps you on the right cheek, give them your left one. I am not going to debate this. But these governments are more powerful than us. Only few people can manage to fight against it. However, the majority of people are clueless and cannot do anything about it. I hope everything goes with bitcoin's side.
I agree. This is one of the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto". I don't think so. How can we even fight a bigger opponent like governments?
We've lost sight of what Bitcoin is about and we've succumbed to greed. Instead of creating crypto only businesses we were too focused on increasing our individual fiat value. Too busy fighting each other instead of working together.
I hope more of us start to understand the situation.
Capitalism still rules majority of our systems so its not surprising that profits now is the main aim. It would seem that most of the recent investors into bitcoin and other crypto see it as an "investment only" and nothing else. So yes they will lack the basic knowledge of why actually bitcoin was created in the first place. Now the banks are only worried or should I say "jealous" that individuals are able to make profits without them being part of the equation, after all banks are known to be the Kings of capitalism.
I have to agree with you that crypto specially bitcoin turns out to be just a investment platform which totally contradicts Satoshi's aim. Its been a store of value since the whales or individual with huge capital started to join the fray. As for banks, they want to be there, they want to be in where the action is that's why they are opposing or at least regulating crypto in general.
