In my opinion, the invention of Bitcoin and a new monetary system is more revolutionary than the Industrial Revolution, the Renaissance and the Internet. Why? Because it creates the first truly digital form of money, and that money connects all three.
Three revolutions, one missing piece
Think about what each revolution gave us.
- The Industrial Revolution gave us machines. They still run the systems we survive on today: factories, energy, transport, food.
- The art revolutions, like the Renaissance, gave us a new way to express culture and beauty. Today we can capture that expression through tokenization and NFTs. That doesn't mean art stops existing physically. It means it can now be recorded, owned and sold in new ways on the internet.
- The Internet Revolution gave us free communication across the globe. It is what brought us to globalization.
Each one changed the world. But each one still runs on old money, money that is local, slow, and controlled by a few.
The blockchain unites them
Bitcoin and the blockchain are the piece that was missing. Machines can now pay machines. Artists can sell directly to anyone, anywhere. And information can finally travel with value attached, not just words.
Uniting the three of them through the blockchain is truly a fantastic event in history.
An honor to be here early
Being born in this day and age, and being part of the beginning, is such an honor. I don't physically write the code. But I am part of this revolution in its early days, and that makes it special to me.
It is also something that can never be taken away from me, because it is all recorded on the internet anyway. Unless we lose our systems, it is all here for many people to see.
Just like ancient history. We find dinosaurs. We find the Parthenon in Greece, Ephesus in Turkey, the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico, and, who knows, maybe even Ratanabá in Brazil. You never know. The blockchain is our generation's stone: a record that stays.
The train is already coming
All I know is that we are beginning something really unique. I am participating in it with all my heart, and I am trying to make a dent strong enough that, hopefully, my day will be written in history some way, somehow.
So be prepared. The changes may not be visible right now, because usability is not there yet. But the train is already coming, and you cannot take technology back. Once the genie is out of the lamp, there is no point trying to put it back.
All we can do is spread a lot of love, so this technology works in a way that helps save the world, not destroy it.
Axé.
