Change Has Changed

I could write pages about how Moore’s Law and its historical and predictive implications for the 21st Century, but I won’t, maybe later.

What you need to know: the stuff that makes your stuff work, eg: iPhone, computer, etc. is powered by silicon chips… hence “Silicon Valley” and every 2ish years the number of transistors doubles that they can fit into the same amount of space, causing an exponential relationship in the size of the device in relation to the power it holds.

This exponential technological breakthrough pervades more than we are comfortable considering. It allows for the infinite and ever growing amoung of unchecked uncensored media we experience, on social sites, and the internet at large. Humanity has previously existed in flux emotionally, physically and spiritually as compared to their environment, but not anymore, our environment swells and recedes oscillating upwards much like the market faster than our own life, causing a relative stable reference point for each person within themselves.

The preceding argument, postulated by many before and many to come, is nothing but an argument, yet one I will assume to be true for the rest of this article.

Do not, and I truly say, do not underestimate cryptocurrency.

When I was twelve, my family moved homes. We relocated to be closer to my school, leaving the ranch of my childhood behind, for a home in the suburbs of Austin. After the move, I was assisting my dad in organizing the closet under the stairs, and we came across his old trunk with all sorts of memorabilia of the man he was before my dad. Typical things, photos, yearbooks, records, that type of thing. I knew what everything was or at least had heard of it… except for one thing. There was this bank note, with odd markings, and I was fascinated by it. I asked my dad what it was, and he said a silver certificate. Now if you know what this is, you are either old, or a nerd. Not really an in-between here. Either way I was hooked, and really awestruck. How could “money” change? I mean I always knew that seashells were money at some point, but the United States had changed money? This was groundbreaking.

That was 2009. The year Bitcoin was born.

But here we are, and I would love to answer questions people have, and write more, but money can and does change. The U.S. used to be on a gold standard. We aren’t anymore. It was once illegal to own gold. It isn’t anymore. We can opt out from the traditional banking system, if and when interest rates turn negative. Be early, be wise, choose Bitcoin. Change has changed, and don’t think something as fundamental as money can’t change while you are alive.
