Bitcoin for statesmen.
1. Understand the meaning of CASH disappearing.
2. Understand why in the digital world only open source is a guarantee of no fraud, no opacity, no stagnation.
3. Understand how only when the digital world is anchored in the physical world (eg Bitcoin network and electricity) is it real and has value.
4. Understand that the most perverse aspect of the 'Cantillon effect' is that what is hard saved by citizens is used with impunity (criminally) without their authorization, for purposes of political and bureaucratic agenda, and without any regard for the care of that capital.
5. Understand that money production technology (means of exchange and storage of created value) is the essence (foundation and support) of saving and capital accumulation.
6. Understand that civilization and society are a result: of the freedom of creation, construction, commerce, association, expression and self-defense, originating from the family, private property, the company; money has been the moral device (since 1913 no longer: creation of the FED) that finally allowed it to accelerate its growth and that of the population, and that of the average age of death, and its standard of living in the meantime.
7. Understand that the fragility of civilization and society (and vice versa) is not political, it is not macroeconomic, it is not due to the elements of nature... it is simply due to the availability (or not) of reliable and cheap energy.
8. Understand that the new technology (January 2009) for the production of money (Bitcoin network) understands all of the above, and therefore the 'mining' of coins brings together: the intense use of electricity, open source, pre-eminence and defense at all costs of CASH.
9. Understand that the 'acid test' to find out if we have a statesman in front (or not) is very simple: do you understand, my esteemed applicant, the consequences - politically speaking - of acting (or not) as a statesman?
