They frame money as civilization’s shared ledger, an abacus that stamps prices and scales cooperation beyond the tribe. Bitcoin breaks the fiat lens, forces transparency, and turns “not your keys, not your coins” into a responsibility practice. They confront collapse, debasement, and why adoption is a quiet, decades-long exit. In 100 years, they argue, Bitcoin reads as final money.</p>
