seeing as you admire the word "state" to refer to certain group of elitist authoritarians. i shall refer to certain dv team as "dev state" for your benefit

In the context of this topic. Does the "dev-state" monopolize the printing, and issuance of the currency in the network? Does it have a police system to administer their "laws"? Does it threaten our freedom?

The "dev-state" can go, and the network can fail, but the idea of Bitcoin can be passed on.

currently every block is limited to 1,250,000,000 sharable units of the reward.. you do know that they are going to be soon wanting to make the reward have 1,250,000,000,000 sharable units of reward. which will extend mining for reward well passed the year 2140
but yea as per usual they will hide it by saying that 1250,000,000,000 is the same as 1,250,000,000 by saying the extra sharable units are named at the bottom end not the top end... trying to totally sleeping pill the sheep to not realise more units of measure are still more units of measure (less scarcity)

does it have a police system. yep
moderation and only certain "police" with authority to ack/Nack new laws. and then when pushing it through the "state" they are instead of using the old 2013 consensus mechanism. they are using the 2017 mechanism to administrate their laws into passing.
