Control over money is the foundation of government power, shaping every action, including the most destructive ones. Dave Smith takes the 20-year war in Afghanistan as an example in the video: trillions of dollars spent, countless lives lost, and immeasurable damage. Imagine if the government couldn't print money for that war—if they had to tax citizens directly each month. It wouldn't have lasted long. The same applies to the 2020 lockdowns. Without the ability to print trillions, the response would have been different.
Bitcoin represents a profound shift. Unlike the gold standard, which governments could abandon when convenient, Bitcoin’s decentralized nature prevents any single authority from simply opting out. For the first time, we have a real shot at separating money from the state, and that could be the most crucial battle of our time.
