For 300 years the pattern repeated
Central banks fund wars
Wars reshape borders
Debt replaces gold
Institutions enforce the currency
Finance absorbs industry
Asset managers absorb finance
Tech absorbs behavior
Bank of England → Federal Reserve → Bretton Woods → IMF → Wall Street → Index funds → Surveillance era
Then in 2010, for the first time in history, money appeared that you can hold without a bank, a state, or an institution.
That is the historical break.
Every system before required you to trust someone to hold your wealth.
Bitcoin lets you opt out.
A peaceful boycott of a 300 year monetary pattern.
Self custody is the only protest available.
