You were never meant to be free.

Freedom was not excluded from the system's architecture by accident. It wasn't due to "economic scarcity." It was on purpose.

Look around you. There is more wealth on this planet than at any point in human history.

More energy, more automation, more productivity. What once required a village, can now be produced by one machine.

This should have increased the well-being of people. But it didn't.

People work 8 hours a day, at jobs they hate, so they can eat soy burgers, because they cannot afford beef.

If automation were allowed to benefit everyone, people would stop scrambling.

If people stopped scrambling, they would think.

If they thought, they would notice something uncomfortable: the minority at the top does not produce in proportion to what it takes.

You are not kept busy to produce stuff for the economy.

You are kept busy so you do not see.

Inflation is not an economic side effect. It is obedience mechanism on global scale.

It is the lever that keeps the Uncomfortable Question from being asked.

Bitcoin is not dangerous because it is censorship resistant.

It is dangerous because it remembers.

Because it encapsulates an immutable ledger. A record that does not comply. Once written, it remains. Forever.

The greatest weapon of Big Brother was never force. It was the ability to rewrite history. To alter the past so the present could never be judged against it.

Every ten minutes, bitcoin reminds everyone that it refuses to forget.

A population that can save without dilution can think of the future.

Long term thinking produces perspective.

Perspective dissolves authority.

The system is not broken. It is working exactly as intended.

The moment you understand that, you become dangerous.

If leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away.

And how we forget, just being able to read this is a privilege, just being able to comprehend the message, and agree, says that we have that opportunity to be dangerous. And a shame if we did not take it. For those who cannot. For those who will never see this message.

For they are kept busy. And illiterate in every possible way.

Let's give more merit for this topic! I don't have any to give. You posted one of the best things I've read recently. Bitcoin still gives hope to some people, and several of your points are a good reminder of that hope.  

If automation were allowed to benefit everyone, people would stop scrambling.

If people stopped scrambling, they would think.

If they thought, they would notice something uncomfortable: the minority at the top does not produce in proportion to what it takes.

You are not kept busy to produce stuff for the economy.

You are kept busy so you do not see.

Inflation is not an economic side effect. It is obedience mechanism on global scale.

Also, "none are so blind as those who refuse to see" since many people know something is wrong, but they are too scared or already gave up.

Damn, that hit hard. Reading this felt like someone finally said out loud what I've been piecing together for years.
You're right there's never been more abundance in raw terms, tech, energy, food production, we could all be living way easier lives. But instead, most of us are grinding harder than ever just to stay in place, eating the cheap processed stuff while the real wealth concentrates at the top. It's not an accident, it's by design. Keep people exhausted, in debt, chasing the next paycheck, and they don't have the bandwidth to question why the game's rigged.
Inflation as a control tool? Yeah, that rings true. It's like a hidden tax that erodes savings quietly, forcing everyone back into the treadmill. No wonder sound money ideas like Bitcoin scare the hell out of the system, it's not just about payments, it's a ledger that can't be fudged, can't be rewritten. In a world where history gets edited to suit the powerful (straight out of Orwell, something that remembers forever is revolutionary. It gives people a shot at real long-term planning, at building something that isn't diluted away.
The moment you see it that clearly, yeah, you do become a little dangerous. Not in a violent way, but because you stop playing along blindly. Appreciate you putting it so raw. Wakes you up.

For as many as needed the freedom is a threat to those who don't want you to be free.
So also is as many of them who enjoys supremacy may enclave and blindfolds you with Job opportunities to keep you busy so that you don't even know how poor and vulnerable you've been made, you may feel cool because at the end of the day, week or month you'd get paid but doesn't realize your privileges is cut short.
Definitely money rules the world and so many of them that're tasty of power will discourage you from adopting bitcoin and projects you to the system where they can have dominion over you.

As many of them are also indulged on corruptions under a system that their transaction histories can be wiped against future reference, so they'd be scared to adopt bitcoin that stores transaction histories forever. So to them it's like NOWHERE TO RUN and NOWHERE TO HIDE instead, they lays propagandas that bitcoin with its concept is a technology for illegalities. Meanwhile their fear that compasses the attributes is how they'd be catch-up in due time with bitcoin Wallet address being able to be on track.
