Just to clarify, there are things which most governments will manufacture when possible, even when it would be cheaper to buy from others.
Steel is a great example. The world could produce 50% more steel with existing infrastructure. That overcapacity exists because steel is an important resource in war times and no country worth its salt will risk waking up to a war declaration and finding out that the nations that used to supply it steel are now enemies and they're now supposed to build arms with paper cups and recycled plastic bottles

I don't see it pumping soon. The Asic-resistants Vert, Groestl and Feather gained traction during the height of the bch shilling because they're unchinkable, but it turned out BTC is also quite chink-resistant so there's not much point in using them as hedges anymore

sure thing breh.
in crypto, there are wallets. wallets are a set array of characters that work as an address. you can deposit and withdraw money from them.
wallets are made of two keys (array of characters):
>a public one
this would be like your email address op@faggots.com. you don't get to pick it, it's randomly generated. anyone can see the funds, transaction history and send coins to that wallet if they know this key.
>a private one
this works like your password, and is the one you must guard with your life. it's also randomly generated. he who has access to the private key can use any device connected to the internet anywhere in the world to transfer funds from that wallet.

Even if they don't own a lot themselves, they're influential as fuck. How hard do you think it would be for motherfucking blockstream to find people with a lot of dosh to buy into bch early (because I'm 100% sure they knew this coup was eventually coming) and convince them to simultaneously dump it to hell if it got past a certain threshold?
>btc is protected, core wins
>dumpers involved get paid
where's the flaw in this? Seems kind of obvious
