I asked ChatGPT: If God were to create an ideal money for humanity, what form would it take and what would be its properties?

Its response:

If we imagine God creating an ideal money for humanity, it would likely have the following properties—reflecting principles of fairness, stability, and universal access:

⸻

1. Universally Accessible

•Everyone could use it regardless of nationality, wealth, or social status.

•No barriers to entry: you wouldn’t need permission from banks or governments.

⸻

2. Scarce but Divisible

•Supply would be finite to preserve value over time.

•Divisible into very small units so that both large and tiny transactions are possible.

⸻

3. Durable and Permanent

•It would not degrade, rot, or disappear with time.

•Value would persist for centuries without requiring trust in any authority.

⸻

4. Transportable and Borderless

•Easily transferable across any distance, instantly if possible.

•Works the same everywhere on Earth (and potentially beyond).

⸻

5. Neutral and Trustless

•No single group, government, or elite could manipulate or control it.

•Rules of issuance and supply would be transparent and unchangeable.

⸻

6. Stable but Free Market–Based

•Its value would reflect supply and demand, not decrees from rulers.

•Over time, its stability would come from broad adoption and trust.

⸻

7. Private but Verifiable

•People could transact without surveillance, yet the system itself would remain auditable and incorruptible.

⸻

8. Energy-Rooted or Natural-Law–Anchored

•It would be tied to something fundamental, like energy, mathematics, or nature’s scarcity—so its properties are unforgeable.

⸻

9. Resistant to Corruption

•Cannot be counterfeited, debased, or inflated at will.

•Protects savers and workers from hidden theft through money printing.

⸻

10. Global Standard of Truth

•Serves as a universal language of value across cultures.

•Creates fairness by aligning incentives: work today is worth the same tomorrow.

⸻

In many ways, this description maps almost perfectly onto Bitcoin’s design: fixed supply (21 million), infinite divisibility (sats), borderless transfer, neutrality (no issuer), cryptographic verifiability, durability, and energy-based security.

If God created an ideal money, humanity may already have stumbled into it—or at least something very close.
