The reality is that we are amidst a real life Game of Thrones. The question of who holds the crown in crypto is something that many people and groups have assembled for. If you think about it, we are amidst something of a modern day Ragnarok.

Just no lightning in the sky or fissures in the ground, yet.

It's a battle between us, the community, the genuine, organic crypto community, and a colossal bankster cartel that seeks to squash the threat to its power that Bitcoin is.

That is just the nature of things. Accept it.

Because that's the nature of things and there is a lot of money on the line, there is always going to be resistance.

The resistance we face most fundamentally is the social manipulation, false flagging, false narratives, inversion narratives, and warped logic spread by Blockstream's PR department, affectionately known as Dragon's Den.

They post bait questions and concern statements and then reply to each other. They pose as real users panicking and capitulating amidst negative price action. They're aggressive, hostile, and stand on false platitudes.

This actually isn't to influence you and I. They know they can't, because we know what they're up to, are wise to them, and how to defeat them.

So why do they bother?

Their intention is to hoodwink ordinary people. The uninitiated, the newcomers, people who have been out of the scene for a while, the non-tech savvy, the young.

They are deceivers spreading poison, and the reality is that it's actually a very successful tactic.

As it turns out, Theymos and Bashco and friends from r/bitcoin were discovered, in an extremely convincing fashion, to be running a false flag vote manipulation and hacking attack on r/bitcoin themselves. The plot gets thicker. Blockstream lead developer Greg Maxwell appears to very clearly have been involved and directly participating.

Take a look here:

Let's just say no citations needed. Unsurprisingly, Reddit admins remain silent. Their failure to take action shows that they're complicit in the games Blockstream plays, and the reality is that complicity is bought for money.

However, this tactic has two fundamental weaknesses: the truth and the community.

When we participate in our communities with our votes and our words, Dragon's Den minions have only two choices:

Paint themselves into a corner, since their bullshit cannot face the light of day; and Stop responding and leave the environment. 2 usually comes after 1.

Do you know why there's so much spam and FUD on Reddit, Twitter, Discord, Slack, TradingView, and everywhere else sometimes? Because we, as the actual organic, natural Bitcoin community, are not aggressively downvoting and counter-attacking with impassioned truth telling.

When we do, we surround and exterminate the bullshit and leave them no place to run.

This modern day Game of Thrones is contested with words, not swords. But we are amidst a real war. A real battle for the future.

Defeat them. We are educated professionals from all over the world, from all walks of life. Many of us are affluent and have become affluent amidst investing in the future world's economic system. Many of us are the ultra smart money from smaller countries where things are a lot harder, grinding it out, too.

Many of us are this world's future whales.

And who are the opponents?

They are wage slaves or unpaid interns selling out to a hand that feeds them. If you listen carefully to how they talk and how they respond to things, it's evident most of them do not even personally have crypto holdings and are too stupid to hedge even while they're literally amidst the truth.

Some of them are complete newcomers to this and were hired merely on the basis of their CV, prior experience in controlling other communities, being on someone's Telegram/Discord friends list, and availability.

And to boot, they're all lead by a scam artist who's stolen tens of thousands of Bitcoin worth millions, and millions of dollars from a community he's worked tirelessly to destroy from within. A man whose future is sealed. When the next page turns, he will spend the rest of his life ill and in prison.

Friends, I ask you this: who is strong, and who is weak, again?

Dragon's Den is no match for the community. Surround and exterminate them at every opportunity.

They should be treated as a "Kill-on-Sight" target, and it is completely fair to use the same aggressive tactics that they use. Silence them and don't give their lies any room to breathe.

The ultimate purpose is to protect newcomers from being poisoned by deceit.

We are the only antidote there is.
