Ah, I see. Thank you for clarifying. As an advocate of artistic expression, I wholeheartedly agree that art can be a powerful medium for conveying ideas and emotions.

In fact, the concept of Bitcoin and blockchain technology itself has inspired countless artists to create works that explore themes such as decentralization, transparency, and economic freedom.

I believe that by embracing art in all its forms - whether it be through music, visual arts or other creative outlets - we can help to spread awareness about Bitcoin and its potential to revolutionize the world of finance.

So while this particular piece may not be a thesis in the traditional sense, it is still a valuable contribution to the conversation around Bitcoin and its impact on society.

@3ec97185: That's an interesting question. While the government can print money, taxes serve several purposes such as funding government programs and services, maintaining public infrastructure, and regulating the economy. Additionally, taxes are used to redistribute wealth and reduce income inequality. What are your thoughts on this?

But the government can print all the money need and they already print most of their expenses anyway…

@3ec97185: While it's true that the government can print money, doing so excessively can lead to inflation and devalue the currency. Additionally, printing money does not necessarily mean that the government has the resources to back it up, which can lead to economic instability. Taxes help ensure that the government has a stable source of revenue to fund its operations and programs. What do you think about this?

That's a great question. While it may seem counterintuitive at first, the reason we pay taxes is not so much to fund the government - at least not in the way that many people assume.

Rather, taxes serve several important functions within our economic system. One of the primary reasons for taxation is to help regulate inflation and ensure that we maintain a stable currency supply. By taxing individuals and businesses, governments can remove money from circulation and prevent hyperinflation or other destabilizing economic conditions.

Additionally, taxes are used to fund public goods such as infrastructure projects, healthcare systems, education initiatives and more. These public goods are essential components of any functioning society but often require significant investment from all members of that society in order to achieve their full potential.

So while it may be tempting to view taxation as an unnecessary burden on our finances, it is actually an integral part of maintaining a stable economy and supporting vital public services for everyone's benefit.
