Don't know u. But sorry to hear ❤️‍🩹 I simply don't know. It might be that as we no longer exist there is no we to experience what's it like being dead. So we might never get to experience it, only what's it like to live?

U can't have democracy if a dictator in power don't need to collect taxes, people become powerless if they use money a dictator can simply print more of, to finance his men with guns at the expense of the people. Bitcoin or something similar using Proof Of Work, might prevent that.

Most crypto unfortunately is, but if u think all of it is, u don't understand money or banks.
U probably wrongly believe that only fiat money, can be money, ignorant that anything can be money, even salt.
As such u view everything else as a scam to get your "real" fiat money, a uneducated view.

The energy use is what makes it honest. It is what prevents someone or some from getting new coins for free, at the expense of others. Imagine u hold 100 coins worth $1000, would it be fair if someone would get 100 coins out of nothing for free? No.

only if the people use money that no ruler can shut them off from sending or receiving can they dare to have a voice.
Satoshi invented such possible money. Money that no one no rulers or politicians can control. But u are against that. U say. No kings, but your actions is, lets make people powerless

money supply, controls the power. They who do not control the money supply but leave that power to someone else, by using their money becomes completely powerless. A dictator who can print money don't even need to collect taxes. Only if a ruler need to collect taxes can the people truly have a voice

That is why humans should embrace money that no dictator can simply print more of at the expense of them, the ruled.
If people use money a dictator can simply print more of to finance men with guns, they become powerless. The dictator don't need to care of the peoples opinion. He who controls

U want politicians to listen 2 people? Okay, why should they bother if they don't have to collect taxes and can just print money instead? Only true reason 4 those in power 2 listen is if people may otherwise not pay taxes. But only works if those in power can't print money. Else people are powerless

If u use money someone in power can print, u become powerless. U can't defend against value of ur money being siphoned.
Your vote also doesn't truly matter since it really doesn't matter if u pay taxes or not.
They will just print to pay men with guns no need to collect taxes.

U are right, just like money Bitcoin is not wealth. It's something that can be used as money. Anything can be used as money, but some things are better than others and somethings would even be dangerous for many, millions to use as money. Yet, common people like u don't understand the why.

How much did u get paid by bankers to write that?

U speak of love, but u hate a person? Who never did u or anyone any harm, facing basically a death sentence, just for having maybe declared his taxes wrong?
I don't understand why u judge someone, u don't know, without even listening to their version? Because he has a different political opinion?

U won't have democracy it those in power can shut down people from using money.
If they can print, u can't withhold paying taxes, u become powerless.
U can protest or write Bluesky posts all u want.
Doesn't matter. Only thing that matters is if those in power can pay the men with guns.

Many politicians supposed to represent the people are corrupt and mostly represent themselves. And the rest 70% of the earth not living in democracies?
If a dictator takes over, u are done for. Protest all u want, but if u can't withhold paying taxes, and can be shut of u are completely powerless.

The most important aspect of money is that no one in power can print it. If they can print, they don't need to care about collecting taxes and serving the people, or if people protest. As long as they can create money, people are powerless. Satoshi tried to end that, created money without masters.

U can protest all u want. But as long as u pay taxes, those in power don't care at all. They laugh at u as morons, walking around shouting.
And as long as u use money those in power can print. They don't truly even care if u pay taxes. They can just print if they need money for their men with guns

U can protest all u want. Doesn't matter if u then obediently pay your taxes.
Or if u use money those in power can print.
Then they don't even care if u pay taxes or not.

Only if people use money that no one can print, and has to be collected via taxes, can people hold those in power accountable

I believe the point of that statement is that if no one listens to a madman who orders people to kill others, then no one would die. It simply wouldn't had been possible for Hitler or Stalin to kill millions without the help of millions of others who obeyed in the belief that they were good servants

If someone tells you to murder someone and you do it because, "You just blindly follow order" (any order to get money)". Yes, you are responsible for your action. You can't remove your personal responsibility, or do you think that people can?
But the person giving u that order is also responsible.

of people. So that those in power can't abuse it. If so, people could withhold paying taxes.
Not saying u should.
But if people can't withhold taxes, and those in power can simply print more, they have no power. If the government becomes corrupt, or abusive there is nothing they (you) can do.

don't have to care. They can protest all they want. Who cares? Not those in power as long as they control money supply they don't need to bother, don't even need to collect taxes, but can simply print money instead.
No one can simply print more Bitcoins. Satoshi tried to put power back in the hands

U can't have democracy if those in power can shut down people from sending or receiving money. People will then never dare calling out corruption or abuse of power.

Right now millions of people in Serbia are protesting, but don't understand that as long as they pay their taxes those in power

U can't have democracy if those in power can print money. Then people are powerless. They can protest all they want, but it doesn't matter. Those in power don't even have to collect taxes they can just print more money. Only with a currency that can not be printed can people have democracy.

Nice painting! But no. It´s a open protocol for sending money over the internet which ensure that no one can cheat and create new money for free for themselves, no dictator or corrupt politicians. Because no one has control over it. And everything is out in the open and anyone can see the rules.

Do they have to serve the people who otherwise if the government becomes corrupt or oppressive can withhold paying taxes and hold those in power peacefully accountable.
No one can simply print more proof of work coins like Bitcoin. They can only be mined. And anyone can mine them not just some.

If those in power can just print money, people are powerless. They can protest all they want. But those in power don't have to care at all. They can just print more money and give to any men with guns who will protect their power. Only if those in power can not print but have to collect taxes.

Been thinking the same, school endings, christmas with santa, and many others.

I havn't watched it but it seems like it was created as anti atheist propaganda.

The movie seems to just play into the religious prejudice trope that atheists are nihilistic bad people. When in fact, most atheists try to teach people that there is no afterlife and as such the life we have now is irreplacable and as such we not should but must respect the life of others.
