IMO a really underestimated quote because I see a lot of it in Bitcoin and NOSTR. Montesquieu had probably the biggest impact on todays politics because he was one of the major roles which embedded the seperation of powers in todays democracies (thank god). Todays politics is not perfect because of the possibility of corruption of people in power (single point of failures) but it could be far worse.
One reason why I love Bitcoin is because of the disconnection between issuer and user. Unlike the connection between private banks and the FED, Bitcoin is a pillar of strength in case of corruption. Bitcoin is also a system where both the issuer and the user are forced to act *true*. It's fascinating.

(Montesquieu) - Charles de Secondat
„Pour qu’on ne puisse abuser du pouvoir, il faut que, par la disposition des choses, le pouvoir arrête le pouvoir.“
“To prevent the abuse of power, it is necessary that, by the arrangement of things, power checks power.”
