@ 19:24 His answer is wrong.

We pay taxes, In USD (Federal Reserve Notes) simply to give the USD a reason to exist a.k.a. give it "value". To FORCE US TO USE IT. Otherwise no one in their right mind would use it.

Money is simply a Tool.

The FED OWNS this tool (tape measure) and you are ONLY "licensed" to use it.

They have the right and ability to change the size of the measurements on this tool at any time. Because of this variability in measuremen size, it is impossible to build a sound house using it. However, because of the Tax Laws you are FORCED to use it.

No one should have the ability to change the size of an inch, a degree Celsius, an ounce or meter on a whim. We all depend on them being the standards we can rely on. It's how we communicate successfully.

With control of the base unit of measurement (USD) for more or less everything on Earth, you have control, to some extent, of everything on Earth.

Thats the BIG picture.
It's about control.

BTC and AU (Gold) are standards that CAN'T be changed on a whim. You CAN rely on them being the same "thing" tomorrow as they are today, yesterday, last century (-BTC) and next year.
