Would appreciate thoughts on this: I think also it is divine imitation. It took a miracle for the Divine to create a physical world with limits to His limitlessness. It took a miracle to allow free will. There was no necessity for either. As creatures we owe worship not a desire for equality.
Stay humble reflects this to me.
Fiat is - even as a ledger - limitless expansion. As such a ledger it implies man can owe man infinitely; it either bakes in a lie (it will not actually be repaid, an affront to the truth). Or it bakes in an assumption of divine equality- man can owe infinite because man will be infinite. An affront to justice.
Bitcoin did not have to be finite - this was a choice; as such Bitcoin, (even if inspired) as a creation by the flawed intellect in man, was made in imitation of divine creation. Unlike gold which was practically finite - (not via a nod towards humility but in fact as a metal steeped in a scarcity at odds forever with environmental stewardship) - Bitcoin is prescribed finite.
While it can be subdivided to account for *a lot* of transactions, the finite backbone does prescribe limits (if I understand Jack K at all, nostr:npub18384z4sjgdfy7vr76thzwtru7jncysz0hcapwesxqsak44p8aemsyfaslh , and I probably do not) these limits may stretch towards the absolute limits of the material world. As such created in imitation of the Divine as a creator it can be seen as Gods money ( maybe in the solution to the recommendation to give to Ceasar what is Ceasars…)
Stay humble stack sats (which I think is from nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx ) can be both a personal mantra to overconfidence and foolish pursuits but also maybe a moral imperative in orienting towards ethical money.
I suspect I have made many errors and shortcuts coming to this; to the extent any of this is useful or true it came from other sources I cannot specifically remember to quote or credit and has become inchoate in my head.
