The Euro was launched in 1992, it's 30 years old this year.

Bitcoin was launched in 2009, it's 13 years old this year.

In 2024 bitcoin will be half the age of the Euro.

I wonder which will last longer?

They are very different projects.

Bottom up vs top down.

The modern dollar and GBP launched in about 1972 when the gold standard ended. They're about 50 years old. Bitcoin's been up over 20% of the time that the modern dollar has existed.

Probably the dollar and the pound will be replaced by central bank digital currencies rather than properly collapse I suppose.

That's basically just a state bank-account. Tax auto-deducted. Benefits auto-paid. Blockable by the fuzz in the event you're accused of a crime, rightly or wrongly. For legitimate or political reasons.

The future of money looks weird and politically charged whether a top-down or bottom-up system would take over.

Either way we may regret giving up cash money.

Wtf I'm bugging out.

It deeply saddens me that JP is the voice and face of truth. God bless him.

"What's the point of using bitcoin and alternative social media networks? I can buy everything I want to with cash/credit cards, and all my friends are on facebook!"

"Oh my protest group that managed to get 100,000+ supporters to mobilize against a government policy I don't like is suddenly finding all their assets seized, their gofundme shut down, and all of our online presences shut down by the government, and we're all being threatened with indefinite jailtime without access to a lawyer for donating/participating in them what could possibly have prevented this?"
