Did you know the original version of Monopoly was called "Landloard" and was patented by Elizabeth Magie in 1904? Charles Darrow commercialized it in the 1930s without crediting Magie. In an effort to modernize the game, I've added some new rules. ๐Ÿ‘‡ 1. The banker gets a percentage of every transaction that happens. 2. The banker can arbitrarily determine the mortgage rates on properties at any time. 3. A non-playing "referee" can change any rule at any point of the game including how much each player gets by passing GO. 4. They also get a percentage of every transaction along with a fee on each property when the owner lands on it. This fee is arbitrary and is based on the seating position of each player. 5. Each property owner must obtain permission, and pay a fee to the "referee" before building on a property. 6. It is permissible to offer money to the "referee" to change the rules to a player's advantage, especially the banker's. 7. The "referee" can issue new money (like the banker) and give it to any player on the board (see rule 5) in "an emergency". They must pay the banker a fee to facilitate these transactions.

Taxes did not spark the American Revolution, Broken Money did. And yes, Bitcoin could have fixed it. The Currency Act of 1764 The Currency Act prohibited the American colonies from issuing their own money requiring all transactions to use gold, silver, or British currency. The colonies faced a chronic shortage of hard currency (gold and silver) and British script since much of it flowed to Britain to pay for imports and taxes from things like the stamp act. To cope, many colonies issued their own money backed by future taxes or land, for local trade. The Currency Act essentially created a liquidity crisis by making the colonial currencies illegal. Overnight, their money disapeared and colonists could not pay taxes, settle debts, or conduct trade. They didnt have enough "legal currency" in circulation. The act forced colonies to rely on British currency systems, reinforcing economic dependence and subservience. It stripped colonies of the ability to manage their own monetary policies, and placed financial control in the hands of British officials and wealthy British merchants. It wasn't the taxes, it was the money... HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY!!! image
