This series is written by an anonymous time-traveler.
What could be stranger than finding yourself 50 years in the past? Getting familiar with the pre-coin world is what. National confrontations, corporate lobbying, career politicians, and physical screens. What a frag-job!
Well, I'm sorry to say I'm no historian but I gonna try to tell you what happened to the world as best I can.
This is installment four. Topic: The Coiner Inversion.
Through much of history, power has been concentrated on one point, the ruler, the president, the clergy-person, the bankhead, the CEO. In each of these sectors, one monopolist dominates by making deals, quid pro quo, across sectors to assure their position at the top for another day. All the power-players push for the status quo. This is politics. A balance is struck, an equilibrium formed.
The world you're accustomed to is one of extremes. It's this way because of the politics of the current power structure. Each titan justifies their ascendancy by pressing an exaggerated narrative. Superlatives fly. Extremes proliferate.
In 2018, the powers that be form an ice-cold steady-state of equilibrium with all sides spewing hot air. You are very familiar with this situation. You are steeped in it. And there's been no change for an eternity.
Some of you have begun thinking, "If we could just break away from these parasitic institutions," but they are not going to let you walk away. They'll come after those who would turn away form them. The titans will lie, cheat and steal to keep their de-facto role as gatekeeper.
After a long long time, the right to dis-intermediate will be recognized. The tide turns during a period that will become known as The Coiner Inversion. When a mature platform allows anyone to speak what they want into existence by pulling resources from seemingly nowhere. AI barters on behalf of human and corporate entities to meet inferred needs of every type.
Modern blockchain solutions become the extinct proto-ancestor of an AI developed global hyper-market. You have a rough ride ahead.
But if I may impart one piece of advice, boycott fiat every chance you get. It's your children's freedom at stake.
