they really missed out not calling it the 'Bitadel'

I wonder, in this supposed apocalyptic future, who is making the semiconductors that will be needed to secure the bitcoin network? Can it really be considered a collapse if we have a 100% working semiconductor industry? How fucking stupid are these people that they don't even ask the first obvious question?

it’s always very funny when libertarian ancaps all simultaneously try to declare themselves the rightful king of the barely inhabitable land they’ve stolen

Even when understood as appropriately dystopic, the citadel story is still sneerworthy as it gives way too much credence to buttcoins. Inasmuch as the citadel situation is not already here, it is/won't be coiners specifically but the capitalist owner class in general that does/will lord over the rest of us in their ivory towers of paranoia and greed. That class may incidentally include a handful of coiners who beat the massive odds, but does/probably will contain more finance leeches of a more traditional kind.

Even in its original conception the whole story basically validates a Stonetoss comic (here's a funny edited version that probably lets you get the gist of it I'm not gonna link a nazi webcomic thanks for understanding) and that's super cringe.
