Lotta bitcoiners are delusional about geopolitics and wars. Like people weren’t fighting for land and dominance before government.
Chimpanzés fight different tribes. As far as I know they don’t have taxes or official governemts 🤷♂️

They don’t suffer imagined realities to the extent we do.
Yeah but they don’t enjoy the fruits of functioning society and high intellect. Both come with imagined realities.
Two sides.
Peeps want a savior
Bonobos chimps also penis fence and use g/g rubbing as social currently in a female dominated society.
True. Basically they want a shortcut that never works out.
I read this thing twice 👍🤣
Fiat magicked out of thin air funds big wars. It's fact not delusion:
The **United Kingdom** made significant strides in paying off its historical debts, including those related to the **Napoleonic Wars**. Let's delve into the details:
1. **Undated Bonds Redemption**:
- In a historic move, the UK government redeemed the last four **undated bonds** in its portfolio, effectively completing the repayment of **£2.6 billion** of historical debt.
- These bonds date back as far as the **18th century** and include gilts issued during significant events such as the **Napoleonic Wars**, the **Crimean War**, the **Slavery Abolition Act (1835)**, and the **Irish Distress Loan (1847)**.
- The final four undated bonds were traced back three centuries and include gilts issued in **1853**, when Chancellor Gladstone consolidated capital stocks of the **South Sea Company** (which had become government liabilities after the infamous **South Sea Bubble financial crisis of 1720**).
- On **July 5, 2015**, the remaining four undated gilts—**2¾% Annuities**, **2½% Annuities**, **2½% Consolidated Stock**, and **2½% Treasury Stock**—were redeemed in their entirety at par¹.
2. **War Loan Bond Redemption**:
- The UK Treasury also repaid the **first world war debt** by redeeming the **war loan bond** that paid **3.5% interest** on **March 9, 2015**³.
- Additionally, in **February 2015**, the UK paid off **£218 million** from a **4% consolidated loan**, which was part of the redemption of bonds stretching back to the 18th century²⁴.
3. **Historical Significance**:
- These actions represent an **historic moment**, demonstrating fiscal credibility and value for money for taxpayers.
- The low interest rate environment allowed the consolidation of the debt portfolio, benefiting the taxpayer in the long term.
In summary, the UK's commitment to clearing historical debts reflects both responsible financial management and a nod to the past events that shaped its economy and society¹.

A bit too much great info for my monke brain.
It’s true tho. We have Bitcoin to help remediate some of this madness.
Just saying we are social creatures and depending on a range of resources we can develop wildly different social patters.
“Primatologist Frans de Waal states bonobos are capable of altruism, compassion, empathy, kindness, patience, and sensitivity,[41] and described "bonobo society" as a "gynecocracy".[42][a] Primatologists who have studied bonobos in the wild have documented a wide range of behaviors, including aggressive behavior and more cyclic sexual behavior similar to chimpanzees, even though bonobos show more sexual behavior in a greater variety of relationships. An analysis of female bonding among wild bonobos by Takeshi Furuichi stresses female sexuality and shows how female bonobos spend much more time in estrus than female chimpanzees.[43]”
