Perspective and mindset. Does bitcoin make me less of a slave? No. Why? I still have to constantly work and provide value just to live a basic life, even on a bitcoin standard. Why do I have to provide value just to be here? I never asked to be here! Why are humans the only ones who pay to live on earth? We're the dumbest! We think we're at the top of the food chain because of our brains, meanwhile a rattlesnake bite hiking could take you out... Also, do birds, whales, monkeys or any other creature on earth, that's not a human, build things that kill themselves, or is it just us? You see, birds don't have money. Birds are peaceful. Money is the root of all evil. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

TLDR; Nature is peaceful. Nature doesn't have money. Be like nature.

I think actually taking credit creation away from individuals means that money will serve productive humans better and therefore productive humans will prosper more. There can now be a money dividend where, for example, I made a knife ten years ago and earned X. Now I’m older I need someone to make me a knife it should cost x/2 or something because the tech or process has improved. (New tech won’t be bought and owned by whomever banks create credit for) Also, having to work and being a slave aren’t the same, right?
Way less of a slave than fiat. I think I do comprehend your point though. Perhaps you’d enjoy seeing if a hunter gather tribe would adopt you in, although they also have ranking and do trading. If that’s not your vibe either then maybe build a solo off grid spot and be one with nature! Then consider coming back to civilization long enough to write a book so I can read all about it ☺️🙏🏽 I am curious what is your spiritual philosophy?
