You think if we start a new financial system based on BTC the states won't stop overspending as are right now??
They will have the incentives of keeping the expenses under control bc they would lose all the money and they wouldn't have the money printer at hand right?
Or maybe I'm just delusional🤷
I don't care about the state, the state will always steal from me, it has reached a point where this is already a war.
Try not to pay taxes, although I know it is difficult, and encourage black markets.
Fix your stuff. They cannot tax what doesn't go through money
But if you have stuff registered, they will take it from you for sure...
Even if you build a house from scrap without telling to the state, as it happen to a comune that rebuild from 0 an abandoned village and now the state want to make them leave bc they didn't ask for permission to do that...
We're just so screw and regulated to do anything.
My 2 honest cents on this, due to the brilliant question you posed.
The short term answer is yes, they will stop overspending for a short period of time. The mid and long term answer is no, they will not.
All you have to do is look at the history of gold. 1971. That will happen again, especially if people don’t put a stop to it. Education is key, but it is not bullet proof.
To answer the second question: they will do the same thing they did for gold: make it a standard, realizing they can’t print more, they will confiscate bitcoin from everyone, then re issuing fiat currency once again. This happened so many times throughout history with gold. I’m damn sure they will do the same with bitcoin.
The game changes because, if many people starts using bitcoin as their standard (even if becomes “illegal”), the state will collapse. The state will be forced to treat citizens as clients instead of slaves.
This book is crazy scary and, even though it was released in 1997, it missed a small margin of what will happen in our currrent years.

Really interesting book, definitely I'll read it when I'm done with the current one.
I was thinking the same about what's gonna happened. But I have hope that people won't fall on the same error as before. Specially bc the easy that's to store value in BTC.
But people doesn't want to learn... So I suppose that we will end up on the same shit as before until the state falls...
We will see what happens. Interesting times ahead for sure!
