RE: 29,000 Likes on Facebook. Financial Reward? $0.
Speaking of this shift, I've mapped out how the world is shifting. It all revolves around the "future of money". Hint: the future of money is...no money.
I disagree.
Post scarcity will never be a thing because human ambition is limitless. Therefore, we'll always have some resource constraints. The best way we've discovered to handle those constraints in this chaotic world we exist in is through price discovery and free exchange of value. Money is a ledger for keeping track of who is a beneficial actor (a dollar bill is a "certificate of appreciation") and who isn't. Money has been around a very, very long time. The book Origins of Virtue is a good read on that, if interested.
Ah yes, I get that entirely. Origins of Virtue is good, and I respect Matt Ridley.
You just hit the nail on the head: it's about scarcity. Money was designed to be scarce. DESIGNED. To mock items which are also scarce. And what on earth is scarce? Diamonds? No. Wood? No. Space for people to live? No. People only believe the Earth is scarce because this is what has been promoted and marketed to the masses...to sell them unnatural products. What the masses believe will come true to their reality, and this reality has been becoming more and more true.. We're speaking the same tongue :)
With the abundance of information, people are waking up and realizing how abundant this Earth is. Crypto is another step forward with that. I'll make a comprehensive post about this, but in the mean time I'm meditating on it to find more contextual examples to help people understand and be entertained :D Thank you for your time!
Just don't forget about human ambition. It's different in everyone. Some people will want to vacation on Mars and will pay for the opportunity.
heck yea :D
