It’s starting to seem like all the “features” were a mistake. Segwit and taproot were great ideas, with the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong? Unknown unknowns and second order effects, in an attempt to “make Bitcoin better”. Feature brain is the wrong mindset for Bitcoin. Put your cool features on layer 2. #bitcoin

Hard Money prevents war as we’ve known it. All wars in modern history are funded through coercion. If the US had to beg its citizens to contribute $10k per year to fund a “retaliatory invasion”, people would have to truly confront their rage as a personal cost. Most would abate. It would give those who disagree with the war a way to truly cast their vote and keep their conscience clean by simply refusing to pay. It would put the burden of the war directly on the shoulders of the warmongers. Put your own money where your mouth is, not mine. Soft Money lowers the friction for theft to basically zero. Even if you refused to pay taxes, they would just print the money. They don’t need your permission. In fact, they get to pass off inflation as a market phenomenon, blaming “greedy” market actors for “price gouging”. This is how Bitcoin stops war. #bitcoin #war #morality
