Jason makes a simple thing complicated. He‘s right that a Bitcoin standard will make physical war of nation states too expensive. He’s also right that the nation state that holds the most bitcoin will initially be the most powerful. And tauschte us should be first. If you’re into nation states. But he misses the point that by being first, they’ll hyperbitcoinize, and thus their power unravels. He also portrays Bitcoin as a securely protocol first. When it really is money first (MoE, SoV and UoA). Secured by the most powerful neural network known to man.

Yeah nation states are not my thing at all. I do agree that a Bitcoin standard for the US would be much better than a fiat standard, but I don’t see them getting rid of fiat. Mixing the two is where I get concerned.
What I would like to see is the people replace fiat with Bitcoin themselves. I hate this misconception that money can only be determined by government decree.
