CSW was likely one of a team that created Bitcoin, and yes, they were likely from the 5 eyes intelligence community. CSW's whole argument was based on the principle that the legal system is just, yeah, maybe in the British Empire of 1910, or at the very least the peak of Western Civilization in every metric except technology was right before WW1. I invested in BSV since I hoped it would supplant BTC in value due to actual utility. I didn't invest in BSV thinking it would liberate humanity, if anything, it has more power to enslave, after all, what are 'chains' good for? The VX pass is really case in point. Really XMR is the only serious cryptocurrency at the moment, and one that weakens entrenched regime power.

I don't think that "it has more power to enslave after all".
It is a neutral tool, similar to most technologies and every individual and in the end humanity as a whole decides how it is being applied.
You can take a car and drive from a to b or you can drive it through the pedestrian precinct and kill some people. Or dress the car in metal plates and put a canon on top for military purposes.
Bitcoin itself is a neutral technologie.

The only thing I would say is, that it would be another "dependency" if we should ever use it.

Regardint the "what are chains good for".
Everything is chained to everything else to some degree.
I would call it dependencies.
Nothing comes without any strings/chains attached.
