But BTC is also going down…
Wait, you mean my imaginary coins are tied to the value of imaginary pieces of paper because it’s actually material goods that matter?
What!? But I was assured this was a stateless, borderless, decentralized monetary exchange that can’t be influenced by any one state or actor!!
well the entire global economy is trembling
Well they’re measuring “power” not adoption or value
Are they conflating currencies with nations? Or national power? What is this trying to say?
bitcoin is becoming the world’s preeminent naval power, of course!
I hope it’s just a ragebait
The original is actually a Chinese flag
Replace Bitcoin with China and yup that’s accurate.
Except that’s what the bitcoiners did:
Spain: “Donde estoy?”
The “imperial power” that spent all its unlimited gold industrializing the Swampkrauts, the Fredos and the Britbongs?
They were more like a middleman than a real thing
But c’mon, they aren’t at least as notable as the Dutch?
It’s because this graph is catholic-phobic, see how it doesn’t even picture the Irish
I recognize this graph! It’s from this video and it tries to analyze how states have historically risen and fallen from their positions of power, and the attempts to apply it to the current situation.
lol, class based analysis of history, but framed in such a way as to appease gold bugs and great man theory
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Billions and billions served
imagine not putting China in that spot on this vibes ass graphic
it actually is China in the original graph
Lol the Dutch
I can’t wait for the next super power to be fuelled by fart.coin
Bitcoin burned through a lot of power if you measure in kWh(kilo-watt hours)
This is not what the Chinese flag looks like
