Let me try explaining it this way. Do we all agree that the government is *eventually* going to come after our chain because they cannot control it (unless we let large mining pools form again, and if we do, shame on us)? I expect them to make some sort of moves to make it illegal to participate in our chain (either making it illegal for individual citizens to mine on it and/or run a node). The suits need governments to crack down on us because we are the real threat now that the spam chain has been captured. We agree, right? In fact, I expect them to crack down on us BEFORE cracking down on the spam chain because, for example, if they try to raise the 21M hard cap on the spam chain before eliminating us as a threat, then our chain would just be sitting there as an escape hatch/relief valve for everyone to come piling into once the spam chain is finally exposed as being captured in a way that even the Coretards can’t deny. So to my thinking, the deep state playbook will be neutralize the Blake chain first, then once that is done, raise the 21M hard cap on the spam chain (and obviously they would make it illegal for individual citizens to run a node as well). They will make it so that only “trusted government partners” such as Strategy, Coinbase, Blackrock, etc., will be allowed to run nodes, which means they alone will be determining the consensus rules going forward. Hence the hard cap raise. So, knowing that they want to do this, we should be asking ourselves: what attack vectors will governments have against our chain? I don’t pretend to know the more technical ones. That’s your job to anticipate those and make sure we are not sitting ducks. But one of the more obvious ones I CAN see coming is putting the hammer down on us in the interest of “protecting consumers“ from “buying the wrong bitcoin.“ They will claim that we insisting on calling our chain “the real bitcoin“ is intentionally deceptive and only done because we are trying to hoodwink ignorant investors into buying our coins so we can rug them. If we run around calling our chain “bitcoin“ or “the real bitcoin“, you can rest assured they will try to make that case to the courts, and if you think the courts are going to protect us little guys, you have another thing coming. So let’s be clear: this is not a question of which chain is true to what Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned, or which chain possesses the true ethos of bitcoin. We all know that’s us. THAT IS NOT THE POINT. The point is not leaving us exposed to government attack vectors. They will not be able to come after us for inviting CSAM in, like they will the spam chain. So whatever charges they come after us for are going to be entirely trumped up nonsense. We need to be thinking two steps ahead and eliminate those attack vectors. Obstinately calling our chain “the real bitcoin“ marches right into their trap. They are not going to just leave our chain alone and let it gather strength to put their money printers out of business. Or do you disagree? Everyone in the 110 army understands that we are the better chain. But referring to us as “bitcoin” is asking for trouble, is shortsighted, and will require endless clarifications when publicly debating. This isn’t about being smart. It’s about being wise. Those are not the same thing. We already know we’re smarter than them. But that’s not going to deliver us victory. We have to be wiser as well.
