You mentioned the idea of Bitcoin as shared equity in this episode. It's not the first time you've mentioned it. The first time I heard it, it helped me solidify an idea I'd been playing with for a while.
I think I can explain what you're referring to, and why you can feel it within the Bitcoin ecosystem. The fact is, it's a really fundamental concept not just to Bitcoin, but to understanding what money in general is, and why it works.
Money is, or should be, equity in civilization. That's a seismic shift from money being debt, the way the current system functions, and it isn't a concept I've heard anyone else explain.
I wrote an article referencing the first time I heard you express this concept on Citadel Dispatch, and it's basically the conclusion to my series of articles on money and how it functions. If you wrap your head around the concept, it will fundamentally change the way you understand the world, and give some insight into how radically different things might look under a Bitcoin-based monetary system.
