Paper bitcoin is a thing because our territory of freedom has no exports. Even worse, our territory of freedom is completely dependent on imports from the fiat dominion. Whoever produces the stuff you need decides what form of money you will pay with. To pay for goods and services produced in the fiat dominion, you must use fiat. That's where fiat gets its power - if you want access to the global economy you must go through fiat as a gatekeeper. So even if you pay with bitcoin for imports from the fiat dominion, you don't get what you're paying for until someone settles the trade in fiat. By paying in bitcoin you're actually just creating demand for fiat. That's why most people are actually better off with custodial bitcoin. It's not about the difficulty of self custody, it's about a guaranteed offramp into the fiat they need to access the economy that produces the stuff they want. A bitcoin standard just means the net producers in the economy are bitcoiners, and so you need bitcoin to access the economy. Right now it's the exact opposite. We fix this by becoming better than the fiat dominion at improving the human condition.
