Bitcoin reframes his question. This guy asks for a political revolution, but what if the actual fix isn’t political at all? What if the fix is removing the ability of any political system, democratic or authoritarian, to fund itself through debasement? That’s what a Bitcoin standard does. It doesn’t require the right people to be in charge. Nor does it require a dictator with good intentions or a prediction market that forces accountability. It simply removes the option of printing your way out of structural failure. When the money is hard, you have to actually maintain infrastructure because you can’t borrow against future generations to paper over today’s neglect. You have to fund pensions honestly because you can’t rely on inflation to quietly shrink the liability. Real trade-offs across healthcare, defence, education, and transport have to be made because the budget constraint is real and binding. Don't get me wrong, the OP’s list makes tragic reading, but it’s not a list of unsolvable problems. What it does show is what happens when soft money removes all the feedback loops that would normally force a correction. Every single crisis on that list exists because nobody had to pay for it at the time, or was held accountable for the decision. This guy is right that we need something revolutionary. What he's wrong about is the revolution being in the governance structure. It’s in the money. Because if you fix the money, the political system is forced to confront reality, whether it wants to or not, because it can’t print its way around it anymore.
