Bitcoin Is Venice: What If You Knew The Renaissance Was Coming?
By Alex Gladstein What if the year was 1400, and you stood at the brink of the Renaissance but didn’t know it? What if someone handed you a magical book that would explain what the coming Renaissance was, reveal the injustices and inefficiencies of the medieval system, and foretell why and how things would change in the coming decades? What you have in your hands, dear reader, is a book that will do just this for you today, as we approach the Bitcoin Renaissance. Humanity has potentially begun a historical transformation on par with the agricultural and industrial revolutions, and one with potentially even greater impact. That may sound outlandish, but this book makes a compelling argument that it is, in fact, true. In the same way that medieval Venice set the stage for the peoples of Europe to break free of the empire and transition from serfdom to liberty, and from financial slavery to financial sovereignty, today the Bitcoin network is the path to escaping the broken and unsustainable post-1971 political economy. |
