In 1776, the typical Founding Father was in his 20s or 30s. This matches the age of the typical #Bitcoin revolutionary today.

By contrast, the typical fiat politician today is in his 70s or 80s

the grannies of decline

How old was GW?

44

Hal Finney was 58 when he died,

Satoshi was also probably a bit older than us.

I think this analogy is fantastic!

And the oldest one was the most crucial to their efforts yielding fruits. Just like in business today we see that the 40-60 bracket is where the best leadership comes from.

He most certainly helped give their efforts the right guard rails in order to succeed, as far as it went.

The King was never gonna have much chance against a well organised insurrection, being offshore, and the taxation irking the plebs so much.

But it should also be added that before many of these guys died the process of decline had already fully started. Before even the start of the 19th century was war profiteering and favours for mates.

Aaron Burr... what a shot!! 👏
