Postulate on Digital Money
It took me years of study to get there, but it was worth it…
I am humbly happy to share that, after decades of extensive research, I finally saw the light that enabled me to condense thousands of experiments, field tests etc… in one postulate about every current and present digital/crypto/blockchain/whatever kind of “new money, that will replace old money”:
If your “new money” it’s not something that even a homeless, unbanked person without internet connectivity could exchange with another person…
- then your “new money” almost certainly is nothing like real innovation (as in “stuff that solves real problems”)
- and it may even be dangerous (privacy, environmental, etc)
- regardless of how cool or never-seen-before it may be, from the purely technical point of view
