Most of us have an inherent understanding that a gold standard would be better than the endlessly printed fiat we have today. Many bitcoiners were “gold bugs” before bitcoin. Their core ethic hasn’t changed. In a world of instant communication and wire transfers between countries, bitcoin converts the cost of energy generation into the ideal commodity that has both intrinsic value and ultimate transportability.
This book explores the transformative impact of technology on the global economy, arguing that rapid advancements are driving deflationary pressures by increasing efficiency and reducing costs across industries. The book posits that this deflation clashes with traditional economic systems built on inflation, creating a paradox where rising debt and outdated monetary policies struggle to adapt. It suggests that embracing technological change, rather than resisting it, is essential for future prosperity, advocating for a shift toward decentralized systems like cryptocurrencies to align with this new reality. The narrative weaves together historical context, economic theory, and forward-looking insights to highlight the urgency of rethinking how society measures and manages value in an era of accelerating change.
