The separation of Church and State did not destroy either institution. Rather, the Church was politically sidelined as the nation-state ascended.

The separation of Money and State may not destroy either institution. But it seems apropos that the State will be sidelined while #Bitcoin ascends.

Indeed

Unfortunately whatever separation of church and state did to limit the power of the state was short lived. The state may have been briefly restrained but it rebounded with a vengeance. Hopefully separation of money and state will have a more lasting effect.

It could go this way for sure, or it could be like when the state subsumed Christianity in order to survive. Time will tell.

Sorry, no, I don’t know if he’s on Nostr yet.

The state clearly wears the pants in the state vs. church relationship

Bitcoin isn't really a replacement for the state. Hopefully it takes away from the state the ability to monetize debt and thereby discourages extended deficit spending, but so much is uncertain with AI, with surveillance tech, and corporations who seem to have gained the upper hand versus states in the past several decades.
