Selling is bad, because when you sell BTC, you have less BTC and your ability to fuck the state diminishes.
It makes you more of a slave, it makes you weak and powerless.

Ahh, how I envy the naive.

But seriously though, whatever you think of bitcoin, especially those that make you think it's the coin of the revolution, or anything under that regard, forget about it.

Bitcoin is great because it's decentralized and encrypted, and that's good because as you have said, "it fucks the state". However, bitcoin also thrives in the same boat as capitalism, so in totality, without capitalism, or at least without an ideology that supports the production of something, and then completely owning it and thriving from it, we wouldn't have the stocks, and in adjacent bitcoin.

Besides, bitcoin in its best state is good as a store of value, if you want it to be used as a currency I'm sorry but the ship has sailed.

Footnote: "the ability to fuck the state" is the least of your worries when you find out that your money's being drained by the highs and lows of the market and you're risking starvation. Not everyone is as privileged as you are to think of "fucking the state" when they first bought bitcoin. If you can't wrap your head around the fact that bitcoin is as capitalistic as anything basically is, at least have some compassion for the people who thought of bitcoin as a way to earn extra money.
