Bitcoin Well Reads: The Great Decoupling: From the Reformation of Heaven to the Reformation of Money

The most powerful institutions in history all share one trait β€” they make themselves indispensable.

The medieval Church taught that you needed a priest to reach God. The modern central bank teaches that you need a custodian to store value. Both monopolies look natural until somebody opens the door.

In this episode, we read Konrad Fitzpatrick's piece The Great Decoupling: From the Reformation of Heaven to the Reformation of Money. Konrad draws a clean line between two technical documents written five centuries apart β€” Martin Luther's 95 Theses and Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper β€” and lays out the structural rhyme between them. Both were calls to fire the middleman. Both were marketed through a new printing technology. Both produced an explosion of human sovereignty that the old institutions never recovered from.
