Every time I see a Bitcoiner post comparisons like that I wonder how they justify the financing of historic buildings with the mindset of a modern Bitcoiner.

I might be completely off here, but in my imagination churches and other great buildings like town halls or train stations from hundreds of years ago were financed by "gathering" money from the population. Either by tax, fear (religion) or other ways of suppression (slavery of all kinds).

What do you think, #[1]?

I mean, sure those buildings are wonderful and timeless pieces of art. But to look like that they consume lots of work and money...

Also "woher nehmen, wenn nicht stehlen?" 😉

Renaissance Italy got its wealth mostly from trading, shipping, (full reserve) banking and engineering. They got filthy rich and could spend like crazy. I doubt there was a lot of force involved in building the Duomo, much more likely a lot of artisans got rich contributing.

But again, I wasn't there at the time.
