What happened

Keysa Luna, author of The Simplest Bitcoin Book Ever Written, argues that both fiat money and everyday language have been corrupted to uphold "power-over" structures, and proposes Bitcoin and Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication as complementary fixes — the two wings of a bird. She maps Rosenberg's 4 D's of Disconnection (deserve, diagnoses, denial of responsibility, demand) onto both relationships and financial behaviour, and contrasts Jackal/fiat communication with Giraffe/sound-money communication. A closing section lists shared principles: rules not rulers, being born out of pain, exchanging value, decentralization, proof-of-work and low time preference, nonviolence, and voluntary participation. The magazine note adds that she is a senior editor of Bitcoin Art Magazine.
