Fiat money is not just a means of payment. It is a political institution that has been used to plunder the wealth of the low- and middle-class for centuries, and it must be allowed to die in order for a better solution to emerge. In the current political and geopolitical moment, you have to know how to choose your side. Mine is that of the peoples of the world, Bitcoin and freedom. Long live the timechain.

Financial prostitutes selling out their own race for fiat gains in a world their own children are going to have to grow up in....high time preference at its finest. I used to think everyone in the upper tiers of the monetary & political system were inherently evil, but now I realize probably only a small percent are actually evil. Most are just regular people ignorant to the truth.
Honestly I think the fiat gains are not very important to those people anymore. They are well past the point where diminishing marginal utility of money becomes a reality. They are, however, certainly interested in power as a greater concept, they are Malthusian in their worldview (as in they believe a large % of the human population either must or is doomed to perish), and they are delusional enough to think they can negate the laws of nature (or of God) with sheer will, imposition of rules and micro-management of other people. Is that evil? Explicitly, no. Implicitly, yes. At the very least, it leads to evil outcomes.
Now I'm talking about the 0.01% of people. The 1% are most likely more just playing the game & feeling good about winning at it, at least good enough to not question the very nature of the game and its rules. Is that evil? It's definitely willful blindness. Is that evil? Again, I would say it's not evil per se, but leads to it. It's a failure to contend with the nature of reality, which is a failure to embrace life, which is a sin, which leads to evil.
Seperate money and state or the slide to serfdom will continue.
