>>>But money is attached to life and not liberty

I can't truly express in this email exactly how much I personally disagree
with that statement/belief because I don't think the dev mailing list is
the appropriate forum for such philosophical discussions.

I will say this, though: I think you've missed much of the point of Bitcoin
-- which "monetary or economic liberty" might perfectly describe -- and, I
sincerely hope that proposals such as yours never gain ANY traction in this
community.

As far as I'm concerned, your ideas are the antithesis of this entire
experiment.

I'd be glad to have this discussion over a beer and hookah any time, but I
won't take up any more space or time with it here.

PS: sorry everyone! I just couldn't let this one go without comment... I'll
go back to my usual lurking and learning now. :)
