Thanks for sharing! There’s a lot to unpack in that comment. a couple immediate thoughts:
First:
Bitcoin is the first working example of a constitutional layer the sovereign can’t unilaterally amend.
That’s just straight fire! 🔥
Second, your thoughts on the modern day Mandate of Heaven idea is similar to certain ideas that I don’t think have fully congealed in my head. My gut keeps going back to (at least the way it has been sold to us in America) Tiananmen Square in ‘89, but I can’t quite put my finger on why I think this proves anything. It’s something to the effect of, “this can’t be bootstrapped[1]. The Chinese people already have expressed extreme disapproval about the CCP.”
