If you still think fiat is just “money,” watch this talk by Saifedean Ammous.
It’s not just a monetary system.
It’s the engine behind war.
He breaks it down clearly:
Fiat didn’t just survive war. It was born in war.
Before fiat, war was expensive.
You needed gold. You needed public support.
You had to ask for money, and that kept things in check.
After fiat, war became permanent.
Governments no longer needed consent.
They just printed money, devalued everyone’s savings, and kept going.
You didn’t vote for it yet you paid for it anyway.
This is why Bitcoin matters.
Because it can’t be hijacked to fund endless wars without your knowledge.
If something like Bitcoin had existed in 1914, the century would have gone very differently.
Less war.
Less death.
More freedom.
More progress.
Gold was captured.
Bitcoin won’t be.
This isn’t a theory. It’s history.
Fiat isn’t just bad money, it’s the foundation of everything that’s broken.
