To take or augment profit by alteration of the coinage is fraudulent, tyrannical and unjust, and moreover it cannot be persisted in without the kingdom being, in many other respects also, changed to a tyranny. Wherefore, it not only brings disadvantages of its own, but involves many other evils as either its conditions or its consequences. For this course can only be the advice of evil-minded men, ready to counsel any fraud or tyranny, if they see a prince inclined to it or willing to listen to it. To sum up my argument, I say that a thing which tends to bring a realm to ruin is disgraceful and harmful to the king and his heirs, my first premiss; that it extends and changes to a tyranny, my second; and that it does so by alteration of the coinage, my third. Consequently a tax levied by means of such changes is against the king's honour and injures his posterity. ____ - De Moneta, by Nicolas Oresme #Plebchain #Bitcoin https://www.deigratia.org/treatise-oresme/
Wonder about Saving vs. Hoarding? Misers hoard their money even when spending it would be in their personal interest. They neglect clothing, housing, education, charity and so on, and thus deprive themselves of their full human potential, and in turn deprive others of the benefits that come from social bonds with another developed human being. Notice this definition of hoarding as pathological behavior does not refer to absolute amounts of money held. - Hullsman, "The Ethics of Money Production" #Bitcoin #Plebchain image
Q: What's a core difference between the way Dollars and Bitcoin work as money? _________ A: The fundamental engineering feature of the $Dollar system is that it treats future promises of payment of money as if they were as good as present money, so long as they are issued by the government, or an entity guaranteed a lending license by the government. Dollars use a governmental decree as the token of value on its monetary and payment networks. In contrast, in the #Bitcoin network, only coins that have already been mined can settle transactions. - From "The Fiat Standard", S. Ammous image #Plebchain
