There is a lot of talk about freedom. But few realize that the real prison is in the pocket — and it is called state currency.
The government doesn't just collect taxes. It create your own money, decides its value, controls its emission and forces you to use it. This is not just an instrument of monetary policy — it is a tool of domination.
When the state has a monopoly on money, it does not need to steal openly. It just inflates the monetary base, devalues your salary and drains your purchasing power in silence. And the most perverse: blame the market for high prices which he himself provoked.
No company can issue its own currency. No citizen can refuse to accept the official currency without punishment.
But the government can make money out of thin air and pass the bill on to everyone — especially the poorest, who have nowhere to protect themselves.
This system is evil by definition. It transfers wealth from the citizen to the State, from the worker to the politician, from the productive sector to the parasitic sector.
And when someone dares to propose alternative, decentralized and free currencies — like Bitcoin — the same State that destroys the official currency rushes to regulate, restrict or prohibit it.
Because who controls the currency, controls the economy.
And who controls the economy, controls society.
