Well right, but if you don't participate in the politics, then you aren't being political. If politics is how we participate in decision making and you don't participate-you don't make a decision-how can it be political? You can't be moving and still at the same time.
By that premise, then sure Bitcoin is a decision making machine. But it's literally only machines doing the decision making. I don't decide that ocean finds the next block, ant finds the one after that, and I find the one after that. No one does.
It's an organization of sorts-of transactions-but to my initial point, the participation in that unit of account only enables the individuals to participate in every other aspect of their lives. If we didn't live in this shit storm, it wouldn't be political and neither would sex, gender, the climate. All of that shit got thrown in and manipulated in order to manipulate us. It made those things political that it gave other people the ability to manipulate us.
Bitcoin can't manipulate. It can't be manipulated. If everything is political, then yes, Bitcoin is political. But in the world outside of that purview, it's just a store of value and medium of exchange. It's just money.
Fiat is political. Bitcoin is the abstention from politics.

As far as fiat goes, they are. As far as money goes tho, as far as most sellable good, the market decides that on its own. Which also is not political, so much as an effect of each individual acting out of their own best interest. We've been conditioned to associating the state and the currency, that we call money. So in that paradigm, anything that can behave like money would look political.
So do you consider someone not voting a political act?

I hear that, but buying a home and building a family before my debts are paid and I have to sign a mortgage locks me into being a debt slave, where I'm still trading my time for fiat. I know, work for Bitcoin. That isn't as easy to do as it sounds.
Meanwhile I can use Strike or whatever that converts in the transaction but NES doesn't take Bitcoin natively for payment. I'd have to convert then keep up with everything come tax season. So I'd be paying a premium to halfway spend in coin, while missing out on deflation. From where I'm standing, saving in coin>spending coin.

I'm fully with you on the .05% which is both intuition as well as alleged fact. Check out What the Bleep Do We Know? Book or doc. It basically explains we know an inch, what we know we don't know is 8 miles, and what we don't know we don't know is a stretch from here to the moon and back about 30 times. Scientifically, we've barely begun to understand our place and power.
I think he has some very bad publicity. I think the Bible is riddled with changes made by men with ulterior motives, the fact that it's compromised of a tiny fraction of the contemporary writings of the era shows the bias and that the message was massaged to use fear and emotional appeal just like grifting politicians do now. They aren't emulating the Bible, the Bible showed up after men were using those tactics already.
Whether Jesus was really the chosen embodiment of God is a question but I honestly don't think that ever mattered. I don't buy that the son of God would even want to be worshipped. I get the feeling he just showed up to say "Hey, if you guys show love and forgiveness to one another, this world can be an incredible experience for all of you, and if you don't it's gonna suck." I have no qualms with Jesus, I just get the feeling the story got affected.
All of that said, this episode has been the most moving thing I've ever heard on this topic, and kind of confirmed my own bias. 10/10 recommend.

I picture God as everything, Brahma. I used to doubt God because the idea that nothing could exist-no planets, no light, no space or time,nothing-is impossible. More and more I find to be an unpragmatic approach. It does exist and we are here. God, to me, is energy. It creates all things, it remembers things, it forms connections and it is constantly reshaping "creation" which is really just a chemical reaction in 4 (or however many) dimensional space.
The salvation, penance, charity, etc, it's all just iterations of each of us shaping, consciously and unconsciously, subjective and consensus reality. It's homage to the fact that we are all connected, one infinitely entangled web of individuals and minerals veering to and from our ultimate goal of safety, prosperity and happiness for all of us.
It's a metaphor that Bitcoin helped me to see because suddenly we have intrinsically aligned interests. I want BTC to build my wealth and I want you to have BTC so that we have coincidence of needs and a common medium of exchange. If God didn't exist, it seems like we would never be able to converge on a single mechanism for collective betterment, and if he does exist, nothing could stop us from reaching this point in history.
Bitcoin was inevitable, and the fact that it didn't get strangled in the crib is a testament to that idea. The most powerful technology very naturally coheres with the most powerful force of nature, God.
Meanwhile, the Bible always seemed scarce in my mind because it never laid out the most effective form of governance. The fact that Jesus only got violent against the lenders in the temple, against the most insidious form of corruption which is so violently corrupting men's souls today tells me he knew exactly the dangers which tells me the divine was truly working that day and to this day.
