Day 15 at the ECB.
On this day 54 years ago Richard Nixon stood in front of the cameras and broke the United States promise of Dollar convertibility to Gold. This "temporary" decoupling from economics and physics has become permanent.
So permanent, that most people have no memory of what it was like before or have never experienced it.
One year later the Club of Rome published it‘s report "Limits of Growth" a best seller on the predicaments of mankind, since a couple of years before, scientists throughout the world have been ringing the alarm bells about their observations of rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and temperatures throughout the globe.
Apparently there haven’t been limits to growth in debt. While I’m writing these words, global debt rises in astonishing speed. I just went to , let’s see how much interest has occurred until I finish writing this.
The question is:
Will we as a collective wake up from the fever dream soon enough or will we face death from overheating?
We’re currently living through times of mass extinction and the question is:
Collective action or suicide?
No amount of money will solve this problem, no politicians and no conferences of parties will present solutions to tackle this global challenge while focusing on short-term profits and their self interest.
To the bitcoiners:
There are no citadels on a dead planet.
The science is clear. We’re facing an existential threat, we need to take individual collective action now.
To the climate activists:
Without taking personal responsibility over your money, there will always be a system that tries to funnel funds to our enemies.
It’s not a coincidence that it’s called the "Petrodollar" system yet you act like some political party or law or subsidizing would be able to fix an incentive structure that is rotten at its base layer.
System Change happens in your head. And if it already happened in your head, than find the courage to take it to the streets, to the people. Forget about trying to force down the orange pill to a select group of family and friends. If you know the cure to fever, offer it to everyone you encounter. Do it regularly. No one is free until everyone is free. A species can only thrive if everything around it thrives too.
We’re at 42$ Million, that occurred in interest over the past 10 min. That’s 2x the amount of #bitcoin that will have been mined in 2140.
Let’s make sure our grandchildren are still able to visit Venice, New York and the Maledives in 2140, we may fail, but we should at least try our best.
