I’d like to think Dr. Seuss would have been a #Bitcoin-er.

I think he would have been.

Thidwick the Big Hearted Moose is a pretty good analog to learning to shed the rent seekers of the fiat world to reestablish a life pursuing self interest in a more sane foundation with like-minded community. Plan B.

Horton Hatches the Egg highlights integrity and persistence in a world marked by shirked responsibility. The main theme could be interpreted loosely to parallel Bitcoin's story arc, or even a Bitcoiner's. Block after block, despite disbelief and mockery, in the end the ultimate reward is paid, derived from that integrity and persistence.

Well… Theodor Seuss Geisel was a New Deal Democrat who supported Roosevelt. Also a WWII propagandist (See: Dr. Seuss Goes To War.)

During that time he was anti-fascism and perhaps sympathetic to the communist opposition of it.

He would have most likely supported the confiscation of gold by Roosevelt, considering he also supported the Japanese interment—a view he would later question.

Now, would he change his monetary views points by the time of Nixon? Perhaps, as he was openly critical on record of that administration.

People are complicated. Certainly it’s not really clear that in his early life he would have been anywhere near a Bitcoiner, in fact I think he’d be opposed to it.

Well, damn. That’s sobering. Thanks.

I mean, Green Eggs & Ham is clearly a metaphor for pushing a Keynesian fiat monetary policy with heavy pork barrel spending on a reluctant voter base. 😂
