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. Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank, set interest rates through tools like the federal funds rate. This rate influences how much it costs for commercial banks to borrow, which in turn affects loans for individuals and businesses.
