We know that it's super haram and abhorrent, but we don't really know why, other than "it exploits the poor", but it's actually much more destructive than that. Let me explain... 👇 Apr 2, 2022 · 8:56 PM UTC · Twitter for Android 71 1,238 85 3,237 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 The truly destructive aspects of Riba can only be understood in the context of our modern monetary system, where Riba powers the global economy. The dollar, which is the global reserve currency, can only be created by issuing debt, and in order to make this debt profitable, 3 27 1 188 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 it needs to be tied with interest. The ones that issue debt are the central banks and commercial banks. The banks are therefore incentivized to issue as much debt as possible; it's how they stay in business. But what does this lead to? 4 17 135 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 Because debt issuance is how money gets created, it leads to everyone borrowing if they want to effectively participate in the economy, and they must either pay interest or make money with interest. "well MBitcoiner, I can just hold dollars and not have to participate in Riba" 2 14 127 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 This is simply not true. There are 2 problems. One, when you hold dollars, you are subsidizing everyone else's loans. You enable the banks to issue more loans when you hold dollars, and you enable the bank and its customers to earn more interest. Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 24 Mar 2022 Replying to @MBitcoiner 2. Saving cash still involves Riba as you subsidize everyone else's loan. When you save cash in a bank, you enable banks to loan more money and profit more from Riba. @saifedean talks about this in "The Fiat Standard" "The fiat system thus taxes savers and subsidizes borrowers" Show this thread 2 12 2 100 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 Two, the dollars that you hold were instantiated from Riba. A dollar can only be created through interest. Think this through, how does holding a Riba generated token help you to avoid Riba? All you do is strengthen it. 2 7 94 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 So it should be clear now that Riba is tied with the money that we use. This graphic from @timevalueofbtc and annotated by @SandwichOfEarl is a great summary of how Riba is at the base of our money. nitter.pw/SandwichOfEarl/s… OK but how is riba destructive? We're getting there... SandwichOfEarl ⚡ @SandwichOfEarl 26 Mar 2022 Replying to @SafdarAlam Muslims should be at the forefront of understanding #Bitcoin but sadly most are blind to the reality of the current situation 👇 1 8 80 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 With fiat, it's no longer economical or profitable to produce things of value. Businesses just need to find ways to pass on debt at higher interest rates than what was initially borrowed. It's no coincidence that big businesses like Target and Amazon issue credit cards to... 4 16 2 123 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 ... their customers. It's not a consequence of "capitalism", it's the incentives created by Riba which compel businesses to participate in interest rate arbitrage. @saifedean explains this in The Fiat Standard. 4 14 130 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 When you have an economy that's basically powered by profiting through cleverly passing on debt, nothing of real value gets created. Businesses need to continually cut costs to produce goods of lower quality to earn profits faster than the rate of inflation. 2 19 3 117 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 Another destructive aspect concerns the creation of artificial market demand. When everyone has access to cheap debt, the prices of goods and services increase, making them inaccessible to the poor. @c_hashreview has a great thread about this: BTC/Zero - Muaawiyah Tucker @c_hashreview 8 Feb 2022 1/ Ribaa (interest), Loans, Finance, what are the short term & long term harms of it? Many Muslims accept that Riba is harmful, but few think beyond the immediate harm, & the more deeper harms often are overlooked. Let’s have a glance at some. Show this thread 2 6 1 78 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 Another destructive aspect of Riba concerns its massive cost. All interest eventually needs to be paid back by human labor. There's no getting around this. Banks harvest human labor without putting in any work. Read more here: Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 5 Mar 2022 Usury in the current fiat system allows banks to siphon off the fruits of humanity's labor, without putting in any work. "All interest is eventually paid by human effort... The total of this human effort ultimately is for the benefit of those who create fiat money" Show this thread 2 8 1 85 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 But then you may be tempted to conclude that only the borrowers are paying the cost of interest, but in fiat world where debt is money, everyone pays for it through the loss of purchasing power (inflation). So ultimately, all of use are paying the cost of Riba with... 1 8 2 79 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 ... our precious time and labor. But it's even more sinister than this. Consider that the federal reserve issues debt to fund war. @gladstein wrote a fascinating article highlighting the cost of war through borrowing. bitcoinmagazine.com/.amp/cul… The Invisible Cost Of War In The Age Of Quantitative Easing Through increasingly unscrupulous monetary policy, U.S. government officials mask the costs of war from the American public. Bitcoin could fix this. bitcoinmagazine.com 3 8 74 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 Just to give an example from the article: "Americans have by now paid roughly an additional $1 trillion in interest alone for the privilege of borrowing to wage conflicts" Do you see it? The astronomical cost of interest doesn't just end at human labor, it's human lives. 1 8 1 80 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 The neverending wars that the US finds itself in is merely just a natural progression of having a Riba based monetary system. The wielders of Riba (cantillionaires) need a constant supply of slaves and human lives to keep the interest flowing in. 4 7 86 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Apr 2022 When you analyze Riba through a fiat framework, its destructive nature becomes more apparent. I honestly believe that Riba is the worst calamity to befall the Ummah, and it's no wonder why the Quran and Hadith use such harsh language against it. Let's fight it together. 6 26 1 169 Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 2 Aug 2022 If you want read about why I believe Bitcoin might be the solution to this Riba problem, please check out this article, as it builds on most of the points listed above: Muslim Bitcoiner ⚡ @MBitcoiner 29 Jul 2022 "The fiat system is based on debt and usury, which is antithetical to Islamic law. Bitcoin allows for a monetary system that follows the teachings of the Quran." Thank you @BitcoinMagazine for publishing my article! bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/… Show this thread 5 1 26 Load more
