This gives me hope because it implies society isn’t broken and it’s just that the money is broken.

I feel like when the money acts as the contract between two individuals’ exchange of value, if the money isn’t sound, exchanges become more based on extracting the money for the least amount of effort. This is probably when and why these exchanges become lob-sided.

I picture myself and what I could do with my business- I don’t do this 😂, but let’s say I’m like others and I’m just looking to get the absolute maximum value out of every employee I have for the lowest price possible. Squeezing every last drop out of the towel, just to hoard the most amount of dollars.

Whether or not I realize it, in this circumstance what drives me is to maximize profits on the backs of others, and to create a lob-sided exchange is just to hoard a currency that has diminishing value. Because It’s created quickly, it doesn’t go as far as it should, therefore I need more for ME & I need it NOW. That’s the world our money has created.

Every time a civilization had a currency that debased, they devolve, next step- degeneracy, people have no hope, they don’t plan ahead, they live for ME and they live for NOW.

Currency at any given time & in every society that has ever existed, has always carried more energy behind it than we’ve ever gave it credit for.

I really believe that the quality of the currency sets the energy of the currency, and the energy of the currency backs the intention behind how we transact.

The intention behind our transactions on the day to day, big or small, set our societal standards. They either empower or destroy our social norms, standards and morals.

Only hopeful because of BTC 🤞

Or like you said, it’s not broken- but it’s just not good. Maybe it’s stale, maybe it’s just a type of currency that’s outlived itself. We will always value certain things as currency but whatever we’re using is just not good.

And it’s almost like the real currency is the quality of exchange. Idk, I’m just riffing. If it’s not broken in its current state, what do you call it?
