"No force on Earth can stop an idea whose time has come" -Victor Hugo

Ideas can be dangerous to those in power, and controlling the narrative is the ultimate prize. For centuries, the Catholic Church controlled the Word of God. Rarely could people read, so they relied on the church for salvation. Even owning a Bible was futile without literacy. The printing press changed this, making the Word of God accessible. This key technology facilitated the Protestant Reformation by spreading new ideas and theological material. One technology shifted centuries of thinking, granting individuals sovereignty, including salvation. Similarly, the internet enabled mass communication, followed by Bitcoin, which introduced absolute scarcity through a decentralized public ledger, disincentivizing violence and theft. On the Bitcoin Standard, prices would decrease over time due to technological advancements. Without money printing, endless wars would cease, and government would truly serve the people, as it did under the gold standard. The printing press separated church and state; Bitcoin separates money and state, as money is just an idea, dangerous to those in power, with narrative control being the ultimate prize. #Bitcoin
