#Bitcoin is a litmus test, a shibboleth. It reveals a person's perspective on property rights.

For a principled view (from the Christian perspective in late 1400s) on "Who owns the money?"... ...scroll down to Part 6:

Property rights… … a crucial concept at the heart of Bitcoin.

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

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

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 #Plebchain

Whoa. Now this is some revolutionary thinking related to property rights: ____________ "To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Note to self: ...Produce value through daily honest work ...Spend less than I earn ...Save in #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin led me into a deeper appreciation of property rights, which in turn led me into a deeper appreciation of privacy and freedom of speech.

About time to watch The Big Short. Again. #Plebchain #Bitcoin

When I lack purpose, I look around for something small to make better. Move something from disorder to order. From uselessness to usefulness, broken to fixed. From messy to clean. #Plebchain

Encountered #Bitcoin in the fall of 2021 and have been falling down the rabbit hole since then. Have yet to find the bottom. #plebchain

#Bitcoin goes ↗️📈🚀? My version of a Lambo is simple and practical: a new, low-time preference, proof-of-work, well-built, quality pair of steel toe/shank leather work boots that will last me for years and years as I take care of my home and family. Stay humble. Stack sats. #plebchain
