After I finished Broken Money, I had a burnout period where I didn’t want to write much and my creativity was low.

But over the past month my backlog of things I want to write about has increased a lot, and now it is a matter of finding the time to write all the things.

Thank you, thank you for broken money! It’s a brilliant piece of work and the sort of book that actually can move the needle on waking people up to the ‘broken money’, how it broke, and how bitcoin could serve as the antidote.

“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.

One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

And the real key to this was making the laws subjective. It wasn’t that they outlawed everything. The laws looked very reasonable to most people like today but they were complex and subjective enough that you could ensure everyone could be considered a criminal if you needed them to be one. This enabled lawfare, which is alive and well today
