Hi Jimmy, your ideas on the morality of Bitcoin have been really eye-opening for me. That said, they say that money is the root of all evil. Is Bitcoin any different in that regard?
It's the love of money that is the root of all kinds of evil. I've argued in the past that fiat money causes us to love it through a form of monetary Stockholm syndrome. We have to pay close attention to it because it's being stolen away from us all the time through inflation.
Bitcoin actually frees us from being held hostage and we're free to pay attention to other things. That's not to say that it's impossible to love money, it's just not a trap that's as easy to fall into. In that sense, I think Bitcoin is much better for humanity.
