What a great video by The Exit Manual.
Julian explains that the rise and fall of civilzations follow the same patterns over and over again. The currency gets debased, printed to infinity, inflated until its worthless. And then a new power comes along, takes over from the last, and repeats everything all over again. Its all part of the design.
But this age old design now has a new component in the mix. When one civilization falls to make way for a new, and the new brings with it the promises of a fresh currency that will not inflate, debases, or collapse, what the design has never had was a new component. What if we had a neutral form of money, that no one controls, no central issuer, a money that can not be shut down, can not be frozen, and one that you can move any where in the world without friction. If this new option existed, would we really opt to pick the promises from a new centralised power, that have echoed over the ages, from one super power to the next.
We are witnessing a special time in history, when there is a new component in the mix. The age old design, of how the reigns of power is passed from one super power to the other, is changing forever. A neutral form of money has been born. One in which society will never look the same.
