ya this is a key point. even something like ' but i just want to tax Elon and his friends ' is a part of the problem. its simple 'but i want to use the immense power of the fed govt to do right' all over again. disenfranchising the central authorities, which is the point of btc if im not mistaken, means that you wouldnt be able to steal value from anyone, rich or poor. btc is truly revolutionary in its scope, equating it to modern US progressivism is like too small beans to bucket together. Pura vida, friend. i do enjoy your job, just consider changing the name 🙂
Discussion
Point is, these are terribly challenging things to think about and implement and take time and rich discussion, and breaking out of paradigms (while we are still in them!)
Cheers 🤙🏻
I don’t think eliminating involuntary tribute is very challenging to think about. Again, this is why you are “triggering” Bitcoiners. There is just an incompatible ideology between progressivism and the implementation of a stateless money.
Appreciate the discussion though 🤙
I’m just referring to basically a better and more enhanced gold standard without capture and government conterfitting.
Citizens would be more connected and holding govt accountable through taxation.
Without this, we go back to kingdoms reliant on the goodwill of the rich. I’m not crazy about that
We are going to disagree on any justification for involuntary taxing. We don’t really know how things will emerge once a citizenry is freed from having to pay a central entity a portion of their earnings and wealth. If rich people want to horde their wealth, or direct it somewhere they prefer in a free market, that is their prerogative.
