Arjun Sethi has highlighted intriguing similarities between traditional Catholic teachings and the philosophy outlined in Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin white paper. Sethi notes that Catholic doctrine advocates for decision-making at the lowest competent level, avoiding centralization, a concept that traces back to Augustine's views on the corruptibility of worldly powers. This aligns with Satoshi's vision of decentralization, where decisions are made at the protocol layer rather than by a central authority.
