Is it enough to use Bitcoin and Nostr or do we still need to take away the “credit creation” power from the banks?
"Banking was conceived in iniquity, and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen, they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers, and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." - SIR JOSIAH STAMP, (President of the Bank of England in the 1920's)
What’s up with all these pools that include all sorts of non monetary junk in blocks? Does it seem like they don’t value what Bitcoin is really about? Does it seem like they’re attacking the soundest money ever created? Ordinals, runes, and jpegs are attacks on the gift to humanity that Bitcoin is.
