Fiat in Latin means "so be it"

Since the paper/digital currency we use today is the official money because some government "ordered it to be the money", we call our regular currency as fiat currency

**Joining the Fiat network is not voluntary**

Right.

NOT voluntary. 😡

This line made me stop and ponder. There are so many realities that we live with, without questioning.

Forcing the Fiat network on the world is the most subtle yet harshest use of force on future generations, who were not even born yet.

In USA, if your parents could afford a car and a house that could shelter a family with 3 children and you can't even afford a house, this move takes the biggest blame (I guess).

BTW the quoted line is from #[0] book "The Fiat Standard", which I picked up yesterday to read. A great read so far 👍🏽
