Love your work, Matthew. 🤝

I love getting your content directly via nostr. It helps as ween from YouTube and Facebook.

Both the world wars were fought before 1971 .. the crucial year of unpegging .. since then .. at least there is no nuclear war ..

Is there a credible evidence that wars (at global scale ) have increased under fiat standard verses before ( under gold standard )

Saying this cuz humans seems to be fighting ever since Alexander and Gengiz khan .. old classics be it Ramayana or Mhabharata .. or modern ones like LOTR or GOT .. are all about wars ..

I enjoy most of your videos and thank you for them. This time I have to disagree. I don't see how conscription could be a good thing. As you say, the elites would escape it anyway. At least with a professional army, the rest of us can escape it at well if we wish.

Regarding taxes: if we could choose... But the point of taxes is that you or I don't get to choose; the government chooses for us. If I got to choose, taxes would be entirely voluntary. I would choose, item by item, what I wish to fund with my money. Like I do with donations.

This time it seems that you are asking for a fair master rather than being sovereign. Not what bitcoin is for.
