In the first episode of What If Bitcoin, I explore an essay I wrote at the beginning of last year. From a revolutionary tone, I explore the roots of money, currency, and how we got to this divided incontinent government we now see pretending to care about us as they manage the decline of the American Empire. I offer my own observations on history and Bitcoin, and call out to others to join in this great revolution of human kind. My synthesized point for this essay is: Our world has evolved to a point where the current monetary system does not fulfill the needs of society. In actuality, it works to promote a mathematically guaranteed destruction of its participants. We must acknowledge the reality of the present in order to create a future in which our children are able to live on with any degree of dignity and prosperity. Please help us figure out how. Credit goes to G Edward Griffith for much of the exploration of money and monetary technology. While I wrote all of this, it was right after I read his book and thus much of it was directly inspired by his work and will contain significant likeness in parts. I believe he would be honored for me to attempt to keep his ideas alive.

The Fourth Amendment right to be free from Unreasonable Searches and Seizures by the Government.
