‘’ Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted. Therefore the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.’’
Let’s reflect on how this wise advice transposes to advancing the goals of true P2P electronic cash for all.
At inception, Bitcoin was meant to bring a challenge to the domineering legacy financial system (the enemy), which is certainly very powerful, and until then fairly uncontested and unchallenged in its own field of power: the issuance and control of the currency supply in the form of debt-based fiat money and its distribution circuits in the form of legacy payment networks (Visa, Mastercard, Sepa, Swift, T2, Fedwire, etc...).
The great mistake of Bitcoin, bitcoiners, and coiners in general, is to seek validation and approval almost exclusively through counter-valuation on fiat markets, the field where the enemy was always, and still is, at its strongest.
