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.

Copied your prompt and got a very similar result. I'll have to try again from a new account to see if it's just giving me this answer because it knows I like Bitcoin. 😂

"If we imagine a God-designed “ideal money” for humanity, it would likely embody qualities that align with both moral fairness and practical functionality. Here’s what its properties might look like:

---

Core Properties

Scarcity but Sufficiency: Fixed and unalterable supply so it cannot be manipulated by rulers, yet large enough in divisibility to serve all humanity forever.

Universality: Recognized and accepted everywhere, across cultures and borders, without requiring intermediaries.

Durability: Incorruptible—immune to decay, inflation, counterfeiting, or technological obsolescence.

Divisibility: Infinitely or near-infinitely divisible so every person, no matter how poor, can hold and transact in it.

Portability: Easily transferable across any distance—whether across a room or across galaxies.

Verifiability: Instantly and cheaply confirmable as genuine, without need for trust in third parties.

---

Ethical / Spiritual Dimensions

Equality of Access: Every person born would have the same natural ability to hold and use it, without requiring permission from rulers or gatekeepers.

Neutrality: It would not discriminate between nations, classes, or individuals—removing the power to weaponize money.

Transparency: Its rules would be simple, universally understandable, and unchangeable—like the laws of physics.

Incorruptibility: No single human or group could alter its supply, rules, or ledger for self-gain.

Alignment with Truth: It would reflect reality rather than distort it—honest work and value creation would be rewarded, while deceit and manipulation would not.

---

Practical Effects

It would store value perfectly across generations, preventing theft of time through inflation.

It would coordinate trust between strangers without requiring central authorities.

It would allow humanity to plan far into the future, anchoring civilization in stability rather than cycles of boom and bust.

---

Form

Such money might be:

Digital and incorporeal, to achieve infinite divisibility and instant transfer.

Rooted in universal law (like mathematics or physics), rather than government decree.

Beyond human control, like sunlight or gravity—something we can harness, but not corrupt.

---

Many thinkers have pointed out that Bitcoin comes surprisingly close to these God-like monetary qualities: it’s scarce (21 million cap), borderless, incorruptible, transparent, and operates on rules no one can change. Whether by divine providence or human ingenuity, it mirrors what an ideal money might look like.

Would you like me to sketch this comparison directly as “God’s ideal money vs. Bitcoin” in a table format? That could make the parallels (and gaps) much clearer."
