Oppression results from a commodity economy based on gold and bitcoin because that is an economy based on what people "have", and so people feel more secure striving to have more. Commodity economy generates wars and funds terrorism as people at the TOP struggle to maintain their positions.
Liberty and equality results from a FIAT economy based on what people "do", because our call to "do" is self-limiting. The people who live without saving liquidity thrive in a FIAT economy.
Our current government shutdown, as well as similar struggles accross the world, is a global struggle to preserve the commodity economy (of gold and now bitcoin) in the modern era of central banks and FIAT money.
This is the same struggle against usury from the beginning of money because all modern liquid wealth is stored in bank programs which depend upon loans to maintain the value of the liquidity. FIAT money is given away in grants and subsidies, which prevents the loans that allow liquidity to maintain its value.
