The Philosophy of Liberty (And Why Bitcoin Matters)

You can't truly own your life if someone else can print money and steal your purchasing power, freeze your bank account for wrong-think, or force you to ask permission before transacting—which is why Bitcoin matters more than most people realize.

Who Determines Interest Rates Under a Bitcoin Standard?

In today’s fiat system, money is not backed by a hard asset like gold or silver but is issued by central banks with the authority to “print” money.

The colour of the cat doesn't matter

"Louisiana is a leader in bitcoin — banning CBDCs...", was reportedly stated by its governor just hours ago. Before popping the champagne, we must keep in mind that it's not the colour of the cat that matters.
