So You Want to Avoid Capture by the FIC...
Ideas to take with you.
- 01
Capture is not an event but a gravitational field — the constant pull that shareholder duty, capital pools, and yield-chasing incentives exert on any publicly listed company touching Bitcoin.
- 02
A debt-based monetary system requires perpetual expansion of debt claims to remain solvent, which is structurally incompatible with a money whose supply cannot be expanded to service that debt.
- 03
Alignment is read through documented actions over time — products shipped, code open sourced, positions taken publicly — not through stated intentions or marketing language.
- 04
Reframing Bitcoin as digital capital or pristine collateral is a marker of drift toward fiat games, distinct from advocating for Bitcoin as money used in transactions.
- 05
Good work released to the commons — open source contributions, merchant payment rails, self-custody options — cannot be undone even if the originating company is later captured.
