These private hands love proof of stake, the system where those with the most makes the rules.

855k addresses with over 1 BTC.

The Ark team are doing everything correctly:
1. Build a prototype on a L2 that uses the Bitcoin code base and has the desired op codes.
2. Demo it IRL to get feedback from people and iterate.
They did that instead of wasting time trying to force base layer changes.
Chads.

I don't think these bitcoiners really understand how deep Argentina's cultural challenges run.
This election is a massive first step in shifting mindsets, a fight for liberty that Milei has championed for years.
His win is a clear signal that his ideas resonate widely.

Yes, Milei is a politician.
Yes, the nature of politics means not all promises can be kept. The system demands compromises.
But labeling him 'not ancap enough' or a 'statist cuck,' comes from a place of detachment.
Keyboard warriors unironically believe this.
