“Do you think someone’s imaginary digits should be everyone else’s money?” If that single question were put to an honest vote, with no framing tricks and no fear baked in, it wouldn’t take long at all. Most people intuitively know the answer the moment it’s phrased plainly.

The old world already sang the truth long before we saw it. Every one of these tracks reads like prophecy today: Fortunate Son — CCR (1969) The class divide of imaginary digits. Money — Pink Floyd (1973) The soundtrack of fiat illusion. For What It’s Worth — Buffalo Springfield (1966) Awakening before awakening. The Times They Are A-Changin’ — Bob Dylan (1964) Decentralization before the vocabulary existed. We’re Not Gonna Take It — The Who (1969) The rebellion before the protocol. Imagine — John Lennon (1971) The dream of a world beyond imposed divisions. War Pigs — Black Sabbath (1970) Elites exposed long before block explorers. Hotel California — Eagles (1976) The perfect analogy for a system you can “check out” of, but never truly leave. If #Satoshi had a playlist in 2008, half of it came from 1966–1975.
