There is nothing wrong with that and I will fight with you to bring sound money to everyone. We can help each or we can hold each other back. You seem like you have good head on your shoulders. Best of luck friend.

Fixing the money is a great idea and it is a necessity. But, if you don’t believe in protecting workers at the workplace now, why would you if bitcoin became global money?

Give me an example on how it’s gone too far. Let’s find common ground and work towards a common goal.

I agree. Do you think there is a need for some common sense regulations for workplace safety to protect workers?

Yes, I agree this does happen. Do you believe there is no need for any regulation, say on harmful waste byproducts?

What about business license? How does that pertain to this:

I agree. These are called “barriers to entry”, and who do you think lobbies for these regulations?

How has regulations ruined business?

Well, they succeeded and were compensated, especially if they have more work than they can handle by themselves and need to find help.

Then, once they find someone and tell them “Hey, I CANT do all this work myself, will you help?” The risk is now shared by that helper BECAUSE they need compensation to live as well.

Makes perfect sense if you step outside what you WANT to be true. I was once in your exact same mindset.

By the way, I ran a company where “profits” went back to those I worked with. It can happen friend, I’m not asking…I did it.

So they can make living and be compensated for their work.

Why would anybody want to work hard just so someone(s) can steal their wages to make themselves rich?

#capitalism loves buying and using governing systems to help them exploit, control, and monopolize markets. You don’t have to take my word for it…

We can all agree, any system or society that allows this OR potential for this, is intolerable.

If the hardships of today are the consequences of solely “bad” money, why do we see push back against the wealthy throughout history? How are WE bitcoiners going to help solve exploitation and make for a better future? Change doesn’t happen just because you get “wealthy”.

Pepperidge Farms remembers when Facebook and YouTube had no ads. Streaming service were sold with the marketing lines “tired of commercials”.

I was told I’m not an anarchist yesterday, which is odd. It’s like some are waiting for me to slip up and make this big reveal that I’m a socialist or communist. Even though I’m well read in all of it, I still use the core principle that I don’t believe in the use of force…unless in imminent danger.

We don’t know what Bitcoin will do, but I’m hopeful. Do we know what capitalism will look like with Bitcoin? Do we have examples?

That is another tough question.

I am constantly reading on new discoveries in archaeology.

The same with history in general, I am constantly reading stuff on all time periods.

When it comes to economics, you can read the classics but I’ve also read Mein Kemp, Karl Marx, Joseph Schumpeter.

It sounds like you’re saying free and fair market capitalism is a strong way to generate wealth that can fuel generosity, like philanthropy or social good, and that this outcome justifies using capitalism as a tool. I agree capitalism has benefits, like innovation and efficiency, but I’m curious, do you think the pursuit of generosity is the main justification for capitalism, or just one of many? Also, how do you define free and fair markets in this context, given issues like inequality or monopolies?

See, that’s where you lose me. Capitalism is like this religion that can come and go as it pleases. Never really here, never really there and avoids all accountability.

I am not for use of force, and I don’t want to see any State intervention. This is why I am trying to convince these “capitalists” to be the change. Stop chasing profits and hoarding wealth.

Do you see the flaw in what you just said? How about this…you give me a time or era where capitalism thrived?

Well, we established free doesn’t mean “somewhat free”. On to property rights, is there potential for the enforcers of property rights to be corrupted?

Whew, that was a lot of responding this AM but I think I got everybody’s personal attacks covered and confused understandings on the way to clarity.

I started writing this then used #Grok to finish it for more comprehensive verse references:

Jesus wasn't advocating for centralized economic control; he emphasized personal agency, diligence, and stewardship. Biblical evidence aligns him with authentic capitalism:

- He affirmed private property through the Decalogue's prohibitions against theft and covetousness, forming the bedrock of ownership and voluntary exchange (Exodus 20:15,17; Matthew 19:18-19).

- The Parable of the Talents commends entrepreneurial investment and risk-taking for profit, while condemning indolence—epitomizing market-driven innovation (Matthew 25:14-30).

- He asserted that laborers merit their wages, underscoring merit-based compensation over entitlements (Luke 10:7).

- In the Vineyard Parable, he defended employers' autonomy in wage agreements, highlighting contractual freedom and private enterprise (Matthew 20:1-16).

- By linking self-love to neighborly love, he implied that rational self-interest, via mutual trades, fosters communal good—not avarice, but enlightened reciprocity (Matthew 22:39).

- Echoing Pauline doctrine, he endorsed the principle that idleness forfeits sustenance, fueling capitalism's ethos of productivity and meritocracy (2 Thessalonians 3:10).

- The Talents narrative tacitly approves interest accrual, portraying capital growth as expected and virtuous (Matthew 25:27).

- Granting humanity dominion over creation encourages resourceful utilization, better realized in free markets than coercive redistribution (Genesis 1:28).

Why did Jesus flip tables?

Free market doesn’t mean what you think it does…and this is so far fetched I’m gonna to guess you are making fun of Christians.

Bitcoin is proof of work, capitalism is not. The only time Jesus got physically mad was to flip the tables of those profiting off others.

It doesn’t take a conscious for two objects or ideologies to oppose one and another. Think about magnets.

I would not say expert but I studied the Bible for 10 years and pretty well versed. But correct, I do not think god had sex with a virgin from “heaven” to make a son die to condemn some and save some.
