A couple questions / comments were raised in that great podcast, and I'd like to share some additional knowledge that will MOST CERTAINLY be interesting to most readers :
Amanda : "What money does..."
Ashe : "What's so important about money ?"
Ashe : "It seems money is paramount to being free"
Government issued legal tender money LITERALLY / EFFECTIVELY / LEGALLY is what prevents us from being free...
The words "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER" written on every dollar bill in your pocket mean "THIS PIECE OF PAPER IS AN UNCONDITIONAL OFFER FOR LAW".
That means if you accept to use these LEGAL TENDER notes, you also accept that the laws of those who issue those worthless dollars (government) apply to you...
Trust in government / the legal system is all that gives value to those pieces of paper... And we know that is fading faster and faster each day, for a very obvious reason...
So THAT is what's so important about Bitcoin and other crypto currencies : There's NO "government offer for slavery" attached to transaction involving crypto currencies.
You CANNOT take the government out of the equation if you still use their dollars...
It's still pretty difficult to make your way out of this, but the future is promising thanks to the technology that's out there and those like you guys who help spread the knowledge !
Keep up the good work !
