Today has been a very instructive day for me. Thanks to @undisciplined I have had access to economic information that has opened my eyes even more about how the government monopoly on the creation and management of money harms society, how money is imposed, even with death threats, and a phrase has left its mark on me:
"When money stops working, everything becomes political and a farce."
Nothing better said. The knowledge I have acquired today thanks to these magnificent suggestions has provided tools and arguments to help others learn about and adopt Bitcoin not only as a means of payment, but rather as a means of freeing themselves from the slavery to which we are subjected.
I’m glad you liked that line so much. It’s a nice way to convey the important philosophical point that society can either be organized voluntarily (functional money) or coercively (politics). There is no third way, and we know which of the two is preferable.
