Money created from debt is not money, it’s a leash.
Every dollar you hold exists because someone, somewhere, owes it. When you borrow, you promise to return more than you received. The math is simple, the trap eternal: if all money is debt, and debt demands interest, where does the "extra" come from? Someone else’s future debt. The system is a snake eating its own tail, and we’re the scales.
Banks conjure currency from nothing, then charge you for the privilege of using it. "The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled," joked economist John Kenneth Galbraith. Repelled, yet shackled. You work, you sweat, you bleed to repay principal plus interest, but the bank’s balance sheet grows fat on digits they invented. They win. You race.
Governments borrow differently. Entrepreneurs build, innovate, risk. Debt can fuel value. But when a state borrows, it mortgages your labor without consent. "A government debt is a government claim against personal income," warned Marx. Even he saw the theft. Modern Monetary Theory peddles this theft as genius: print endlessly, tax later, pretend gravity won’t apply.
They gaslight you. "In the long run, we are all dead," Keynes sneered, dismissing the fallout of perpetual debt. But the long run is here. Inflation is the silent pickpocket, stealing from savers, wage-earners, the powerless.
This isn’t finance. It’s feudalism with better branding. You’re born owing, live to repay, die leaving the bill to your children. "The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing," wrote Josiah Stamp, a former Bank of England director. "The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand ever invented."
But they miscalculated one thing: you can see the strings now. Bitcoin isn’t a currency. It’s a rebellion. Sound money doesn’t demand interest, doesn’t expire, doesn’t lie. It just is. Satoshi knew: "It’s time we fight back with math they can’t corrupt."
Stop apologizing for demanding better. Debt is not a service. It’s control. And control, as Orwell wrote, is "telling people what they want to hear, then making sure they can’t escape it."
Escape anyway.
