#asknostr bitcoiners and plebs let me pose a question. In the possibility of a new world where those of us who stacked even .25 btc could be considered the new elite, where do you stand on the idea of noblesse oblige? I would argue that bitcoiners embody this concept through funding of infrastructure and businesses privately owned but allowing for the betterment of the common people.

Thoughts? Opinions? Arguments?

I was thinking about this today but in the context of an anarchist society.

There is a huge chunk of land out by where I live that is a tree farm - they harvest timber and replant so they have perpetual income. Anyways, they allow people to build trails and ride mountain bikes on their land even though it’s private. It’s a cool place and has nothing to do with the state, just volunteerism.

It got me thinking that instead of the state choosing what land would be parks that instead private land owners would definitely do the same thing in a state-less society but voluntarily so.

Infrastructure would be similarly funded by wealthy benefactors who could afford it and who wanted to do right. I think the noblesse oblige philosophy would be taken to by many Bitcoiner’s snd could create a very positive behavioral feedback loop.
