Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines. Maybe try to make us overconfident and share more openly that we have bitcoin before banning self custody or something like that, for example, so that they have more data on whom to harass for our BTC. Or it's some kind of psychological warfare to break us by making us think we're winning, and then some power show to put us in our place.
Regarding groups, maybe. That's probably part of it. But it seems to me that most people outsource the vast majority of thinking to others though, to the point of having some strange way of believing completely incompatible things, as long as they come from people or institutions they trust. I wouldn't call such people particularly smart, even if they trusted us, even if that of course would be orders of magnitude better than them trusting the MSM.
It's probably part of human nature, but the extent of it seems to vary, and more like 95/5 than the usual 80/20.
