How about Pecunianism, from the Latin “Pecunia a populo, de populo, pro populo” Money by the people, of the people and for the people. In other words separation of money and state? A system based on this?
I was thinking on this. I wanted to know what I am, not any of the existing “ism’s” how about…”Pecunianism”
From the Latin pecunia = money.
Money by the people, of the people, and for the people.
A free market order where money belongs to the people themselves — naturally separated from the state.
Not Republican. Not Democrat.
Not Monarchist, Socialist, Communist, or Capitalist.
👉 I’m a Pecunian.

Bitcoin is digital gold
That makes me think of all the “rent seeker” jobs, and money flowing that way, as well as the 2nd, 3rd to the nth order derivatives to keep all that working, being carried by those who are actually productive. It’s scary.
Jeff, I’ve been wondering if something like the 100th monkey effect might happen with Bitcoin. I suspect it’s not a thing with humans who are emotionally attached to the current system. But If something like that were to happen some time within the next 20 years, maybe we could avoid WW3…..maybe. What do you think?
