If Bitcoin is digital property and Bitcoiners are becoming autonomous/sovereign individuals, the historical analogy of being paid in Bitcoin for services lines up with pledging allegiance to a nobleman / Lord or Baron & getting a land grant as a fief.

Vassals would receive land grants as a reward for loyalty, but it wasn't that they owned the land, they could use it. The noble retained the rights to the property & could reclaim it on disloyalty or death.

Eventually the descendants of vassals could inherit the land but they would still have to pay homage & fealty to the lord/nobleman to keep it.

Vassals of a lord/baron were expected to do things such as accompany them on travel as an entourage, give them counsel on legal matters, fight with them in battle (or hire a mercenary) & let the lord & his servants use their accommodations when required.

With bitcoin lending & miniscript maturing, this could actually come to fruition a lot sooner than we think.

Imagine giving a fiefdom of 1 BTC to a vassal of your citadel where you are using a composable miniscript multisig setup that allows for your vassal to borrow against the BTC and "work his digital property" ... but the even of disloyalty (he doesn't pay back the loan) or death, the BTC comes back into your treasury.

For viceroys, castellans or other direct reports declare allegiance to your digital citadel, a blockchain property grant of X BTC could be created as a reward to demonstrate your trust & support, or if you want it to be earned it could take the form of a decaying multisig that decays to just a single sig or multisig that is in their control after X time of proving loyalty.

ah yes Bitcoin hirelings balancing out the party

I love this

very interesting analogy. I wonder though, if as bitcoiners (sovereign individuals), we should be looking at others as less thans.

flip the script and the bitcoiner does everything he or she can to eliminate serfdom and help others become sovereign also by producing the best goods and services.

Such systems could work, but only for collectivists or hierarchy lovers – not for autonomous minds.

Your majesty, after you wipe up from the wet control dream, let’s refocus on building a new world rather than recreating an old one. Bitcoin allows people and markets freedom. Some people might take your deal or they might come work for me for a fair wage paid on delivery with no strings and no groveling to their lord, save 20% of it and work towards generational sovereignty for their family.

In our current system I’ve been on both sides of the employer/employee deal and I don’t like either one. I don’t want to tell other people what to do anymore than I want to be told what to do. I like dealing with independent contractors. They offer a service, the price is negotiated, the service is delivered and if I’m happy with it we might do it again when I need them. I offer the same deal to my customers. Let’s not tear down one bad system and replace it with another bad one.

Respectfully.

Seems well thought through. I need to give it a couple more reads to make sure I understand the idea

Had another read through. I think the initial payment in bitcoin transfers ownership thus initiating the seeding of another Sovereign Individual.

I think the idea stands up and if real interesting from your point on bitcoin lending. Opens up the potential for an individual/family/community to add value over time. The miniscript, multisig, timelock thing could be well worth exploring
