Bitcoin is a money without privilege, whoever needs it has to put in the Proof of Work. It is very different from fiat. Bitcoin will help the poor in the sense that work will pay off again, so you'll be able to get wealthy from your own work, rather than being constantly drawn in debt by a few. Those that are not willing to work will stay poor.

Exactly this.

Hey Svetski, as a fellow Bitcoiner, I dig the energy, but tying Bitcoin to fascism and feudalism? Fascism is excellence? That's off-base. Bitcoin isn't about state-enforced (and selected) "excellence". It's a tool for voluntary competition where individuals thrive without overlords dictating terms. Fascism is just coercive statism: hierarchies imposed by force, not earned through merit. Bitcoin flips that script. It's permissionless and global, empowering sovereign individuals to opt out of broken systems. Remember The Sovereign Individual's thesis? How tech can shrink the range of control, making feudal lords and totalitarian regimes obsolete? Bitcoin does exactly that: no kings, no enforcers. Just code and consensus letting you build freely. Feudalism's harsh? Sure, but Bitcoin's "harsh" is voluntary reality checks, not mandated inequality. True excellence comes from open markets and personal sovereignty, not propaganda or conquest. Let's focus on that future: individuals empowered, not empires rebuilt.

I take slight issue with Fascism being excellence. Fascists often fetishize excellence in history, but fascism itself tends to be a neurotic reaction to perceived victimhood or humiliation. It's the vicious dog, snapping at anything that comes close, due to it being in an injured state. Cruelty, rather than an indication of strength, is a clear sign of weakness. Strong men don't belittle weak ones -- they either build them up, when it suits them or they ignore them. Fascists don't live by the ethos of "we'll be great;" they live by the ethos of "we'll be great, if only we can do away with <insert scapegoat here>." And don't get me wrong. I get it, Leftists HAVE done immense damage. The Fabian agenda has rotted out traditional values and taught people that the way to live is to find someone to convince to give you everything, or, if you're really ambitious, to go steal it from others yourself. But we shouldn't fool ourselves that reacting to that is greatness, any more than thrashing around while drowning would make us Michael Phelps. I get the apologism for fascism, particularly when it stands in for anything bad in the political sphere, despite far more deaths having been caused by both Communism AND Liberalism. But we can do better than simply adhere to the mirror image of the rot; the other collectivism. Give me Tokugawa Ieyasu, Alexander, or Alfred the Great over Benito Mussolini or Oswald Mosley any day. Men strong enough not to crush their enemies, but to integrate them. Not merely into nations, but into civilizations.

And fwiw I've read and listened to enough of your work to know you're somewhat talking shit praising fascism because taking stabs at liberals is good fun (it is). Just throwing out that nuance that I didn't see here. By all means, feel free to tell me I'm off base though.
