■ Citizen's Theology - Bitcoin Satoshi Vision!
- The Principle of Immutable Protocol
- Rules are Promises: A monetary protocol must be a promise-device that "the rules are just the rules and will not yield to the will of factions."
- Bastion of Fairness: Setting the protocol to be immutable adds fairness to the system architecture, serving as a bastion of equality.
- Political Neutralization: An immutable protocol neutralizes politics in the domain of transaction finality, preventing specific powers from changing the rules mid-game.
- The Principle of Exclusion of Gatekeepers
- Preservation of Permissionless Access: True scaling means ensuring access remains permissionless and increasing capacity without introducing new gatekeepers.
- Expansion of Direct Settlement: The possibility of direct settlement must be expanded, not the opportunities for intermediaries.
- No Substitution of Power Relationships: Money should not be a structure designed to substitute market exchange relationships with power relationships.
- The Principle of Fair Competition
- Prohibition of Privilege Creation: Immutable constraints ensure that competition is creative in terms of products and services, not in creating privileges.
- No Usurpation of the Rulebook: Competitors should be allowed to compete openly, and governance innovation that involves usurping the rulebook to seize an advantageous position should be avoided.
- The Principle of Assuring Individual Agency
- Breaking Forced Scarcity: A low ceiling set by limited throughput must not create a forced scarcity where only specific groups enjoy a comfortable niche while the rest queue.
- Rejection of Manipulated Profits: Immutability does not allow tools for manipulated profits to those in power, and it returns individual agency.
- The Right to Trade Freely: The right to trade freely must be protected as a birthright to be exercised, not a privilege to be bought.
