In regards to fiat only

Money buys labor and it pays taxes. That is all. Ownership is following the communist model of being prohibited.

Reasoning

Labor needs a carrot to perform. Money is it. A gold prospector might invest years of his labor in search of gold. When he finds it his labor is paid by what he receives for gold. You could substitute lead, tin or copper. Some pay more. Some pay less. Find nothing and the labor is gratuitous.

A loaf of bread. It is not the bread you are paying for. You are paying for the labor to grow the wheat, the labor to mill and bake it, the transport labor, the warehousing labor and the clerk you pay for the sum of all these labors at checkout. The wheat is free.

The same observation results for the gardener, roofer, carpenter, plumber or United Auto Worker.

Now taxes. Government sends a bill. Or you self-assess. They accept the payment. Government does hire people but nothing that directly attaches to the product you are making payment for. This product is the fear you will be punished for not making the payment.

As to this model --

The only reason to collect fiat money is to buy someone's labor or to pay taxes. Some laborers cost $1,000 an hour and are worth it. Other workers cost $15 an hour and you would do better if you did the job yourself. If you don't need to pay labor and cross off this reason to collect money then government has no basis to charge you taxes (or has fewer reasons anyway).

But...what about ownership?


First I should state that I don't agree with the communist model of eliminating private property. But you assert that ownership in court and courts all practice Equity and community property. Law was always used to protect private property and if you use fiat money you cannot be called an owner (because you are only paying for labor and taxes). And no court is going to protect your dream of private property because THEIR labor is paid with FIAT. This for all intents and purposes destroys your right to own anything with the associated remedy for a trespass.

As a possessor of fiat money you are an agent for a community property state. Likely this holds true for cryptocurrency as well.

During past generations all wealth was said to originate from Earth. Oil. Coal. Iron. Copper. And gold & silver. Not to forget vegetables, beef, sheep, wildlife.

That model is extinct. Now value is derived from labor. It is not that things derived from Earth are valueless but that the labor required to extract, transport, warehouse and market it all accumulate and end up determining the final value.

I expect this paradigm shift happened because of labor unions and required government participation in society.

No emotion or blame attached. This is merely an observation as we settle down to watch this system come apart and contemplate the universal question "Why?"

Occam's razor is a problem-solving principle that suggests, when presented with competing hypotheses, the simplest explanation is usually the best one. It emphasizes that one should not increase, beyond necessity, the number of entities required to explain something. Essentially, the explanation with the fewest assumptions is generally preferred.

The relationship between ownership and money is a myth. A fiat dollar is not capable of being fungible with land. Such a medium is fungible with labor and taxes only. When you accept a buck and walk away the action is that of a quitclaim. Aka Abandonment.
