Satoshi Nakamoto's experiment was designed to answer the following question: what happens if the productive population is allowed to keep the fruits of their labor, and their savings become resistant to both fiscal voracity and the devastation of the cycle economic? What happens, in short, if we adopt a fair monetary system, one that is not designed to favor parasites at the expense of those that add value?

The experiment is still ongoing, and what we have seen so far was not very difficult to predict: on the one hand, the approval of the productive population; on the other hand, a strong reaction on the part of the financial elites.

Remember that parasites do not aspire to wealth as much (because it lasts very little) as to the control of wealth produced by others, and will fight to the death before giving up their privileges. If we are guided by historical evidence, we are more likely to see them develop colorful wings and fly like butterflies than choose to earn an honest living.

How will they try this time, then, to tilt the playing field in their favor? In other words, how is it that Blockstream plans to kill Bitcoin? According to Justus Ranvier, appealing to a strategy similar to that used by governments to kill gold as a monetary standard.
