Hello @sweetland! Thanks for sharing this really well written blog! I enjoyed reading it. The subversive potential of this platform is truly amazing. I take it as a good sign that some people at the top of financial elite feel a bit worried about its existence.

" In the both systems, money is created out of thought, it's just an idea that you buy something. When you purchase a bottle of dish soap, you don't actually buy the blue goop inside, you exchange some of your “life energy” for the thought of what the blue goop can do"

Money is not different than magick (my lifelong passion). The same applies to the legal system.

In Ancient Babylon people used to eat a meal and anoint each other with oil when signing a contract such as purchase of property. The meal was cursed. If any side broke the deal the curse was believed to be active. Certainly they also had way to follow up on broken deals and did not rely purely on 'supernatural agency' to sort things out. Anointing with oil was also used to void contracts. It was a symbolic act to mark the agreement and its resolution. It worked and it did so because people agreed to that.

One way or another human society always has been constructed using power of the mind and thought. Why shouldn't we explore new, better models of functioning. If we all agree that something has value then surely it does! It takes each and every one of us to consent to the system to make it work. Giving our energy and time to it is the best proof (and the source) of its value. :)
