"In his book on Eternal Peace, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) suggested that government should be forbidden to finance wars by borrowing. He expected that the warlike spirit would dwindle if all countries had to pay cash for their wars."

I tell all my pacifist friends: Bitcoin makes wars too expensive to be worthwhile

“Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) “Have the courage to use your own understanding,” is therefore the motto of the enlightenment.”

This is part of why we say "Bitcoin fixes this" about war.

If they fought a war over that idea, the side that had access to credit would win.

Speaking of the pronunciation of NOSTR, how do europeans pronounce KANT ? It is funny for me.
