Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

You did not describe how bitcoin works. You gave a short description of what it is, and then a list of objectively false statements.
Re: the $5 wrench. Store your Bitcoin keys in a secure location. It's very simple to not give "your password" (it's actually 12 or 24 words, not a password) when being beaten by a wrench if you don't know it, like many Bitcoin users. Plus, plausible deniabilty - who's going to kill you for not memorizing 24 random words when there are so many other ways to secure it?
"Bitcoin can fail when synchronization is lost". No. In fact the whole point is that it's so impossible to wreck the synchronization of the network. It doesn't all have to be "in sync", it's decentralized so that bad actors cannot prevent it from running.
"Bitcoin can be sabotaged by hacking the software used to transfer it". No. Common error, you am should say your Bitcoin can be sabotaged. The bitcoin network doesn't care if you're careless or ignorant..... bitcoin will survive just fine, even if you lose yours.
"Bitcoin can be useless when people ostracize you in the moment for having it." What?
"I intend to destroy (liberal capitalism) and boycott (Bitcoin). Ooooook bud. Bitcoin also doesn't care about your political philosophy. People aren't going to not utilize an inflation proof decentralized currency when inflation hits double digits and more.
Maybe we're miscommunicating here. I'm not saying that Bitcoin is completely and totally invincible. But nothing is. And it's more invincible than fiat currency by a wiiiiiide margin. And even more so than gold. Or stocks. Or real estate. Or anything you can come up with. It's objective fact. And if think people are just suddenly going to stop using it and converting their hyperinflating currencies to it....I wish you luck.
Here's the kicker to all this. Somehow a few loonies have gotten it in their heads that Bitcoin is capitalist, or elitist, or something. That's the fucking funniest thing I've ever heard. Bitcoin is a direct threat to capitalist exploitation. Just because the rich are investing in it doesn't make it capitalist. Rich are gonna rich.
You're going to sit there and tell me Bitcoin is "supported by liberal capitalism" when literally no one controls it, the rules are public, the records are public..... my god man. If you actually understood how it worked l, and I mean how it actually works, how a block is mined, how transactions are verified, how the network works..... you'd probably lose your mind at having hand-waved it away in ignorance.....
