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

At what point does morality actually matter? Moral arguments supersede consequences. That is the power of morality. “If we end slavery then who will pick the cotton!?” Answer: no clue. Doesn’t matter. Slavery is immoral. Reality: we’ll develop metal monsters that burn ancient crushed tree juice to automate away the manual labour. The moral argument is our compass to use because the future is unpredictable. If the moral argument is correct, like a perfectly tuned compass, you will find yourself navigating to the future with the optimal circumstances. #morality #philosophy
