The gist of my intended Part 2/2 has been preëmpted by someone else much more succinctly, in a post that I will leave untranslated so that I can avoid being suddenly ignore-listed by both Jay and CT—and pretty much everybody else on WO, except (ironically) marcus.

So far, I have not put any forum member on my ignore list.. in other words, my ignore list is empty..

Same here! I tried the ignore-list function when I was a n00b, and I disliked it.

On the other hand, my mental ignore function automagically files the majority of the forum in “taken under advisement”. 🗑️

Don’t take it the wrong way, Jay. I was simply making a rhetorical point about how roundly hated I may be if, amidst celebrations of “to the moon!”, I were to express my serious concern that in the wrong social and political conditions, a sharp rise in the price of Bitcoin could be leverage for banks and governments to co-opt Bitcoin as their own tool. —I don’t like seeing so much institutional money flowing in, especially at just the moment when regulations are increasing, a new blacklisting mining pool rolls out, ...oh, bloody hell! No, I can’t stop it—but that is not the point!

My own (very much admitted) wish to have more purchase power for my coins shall not corrupt my reasons for being in Bitcoin!

“Embrace, extend...” How does that go?

If that happens, then you may expect to see me change my tune. I have no use for a “KYC” coin with miner blacklisting and government regulations, controlled by the same system that had made the whole world into a virtual slave estate. Quoting myself out of context, I will always oppose this:

hyping how Govecoin With Anti Four Horsemen KYC/AML Cavity Search Technology is going to the MOON.

I see Bitcoin as the only realistic hope for most individuals to have any measure of financial freedom whatsoever. If Bitcoin goes bad—if Bitcoin fails as a technology for freedom—then why would I treat it differently than banks and the stock market? Some people get rich with the existing financial system, too. Whereas the old financial system could exert less total control than the same system, upgraded with Blockchains (an uncomfortable word in this context)...

Wake up, Bitcoiners! If big money flows into Bitcoin, greed may be the leverage that banks and governments can use to seize control of Bitcoin altogether. —For who will oppose it, if Bitcoin (with “KYC/AML” mass-surveillance, doxing, regulations, confiscatory Marxist taxes, etc. gradually added) goes “to the moon”? —Nobody, that is who!

If Bitcoin cannot survive without being ~~tied to Mommy American-CFTC’s apron strings~~ totally co-opted, then you should sell right now because it’s worthless.

Am I running out of words yet?

Well, that would be a harbinger of impending mass catastrophe. A sign to short the forum at high leverage? Is that scientific?

even though I have heard quite a bit about such "ignore" function, from other members of this here forum, I have not found my way to such button. Tongue

For some reason (or rather: unreason), “people” like to brag about it. As if anyone in his right mind would give a flying fuck about getting attention (or not) from some conceited retard who wants to feel powerful.

The almighty ignore button! What a threat! LOL.

I have been amused, as you can tell.

Out of context cherry-pick, which just seems appropriate:

In other words, hahahahaha... [...] Tongue

P.S., why the hell does this forum sometimes unpredictably transform Cyrillic letters into Latin letters? At least, it does in my browser. That can cause serious breakage. Buggy, it is.
