The idea of a universal currency or world currency has been an idea in the Baha'i faith for some time. I see #Bitcoin or something like it as that future.

"The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Bahá’u’lláh, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and the personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded. This commonwealth must, as far as we can visualize it, consist of a world legislature, whose members will, as the trustees of the whole of mankind, ultimately control the entire resources of all the component nations, and will enact such laws as shall be required to regulate the life, satisfy the needs and adjust the relationships of all races and peoples...A world script, a world literature, a uniform and universal system of currency, of weights and measures, will simplify and facilitate intercourse and understanding among the nations and races of mankind."

-- Shoghi Effendi, World Order of Bahá’u’lláh

No thank you. I want a place to go to if things do not go the right way. I do not want a single option and no choice.

It’s not the one… it’s one for the world and individual countries can do their own thing still. It’s just having one currency that all the world recognizes and can use no matter their border. Which again bitcoin fills.

I'm ok with Bitcoin but differences are the beauty of the world. No one world governments. We are different, we see different, we feel different and it's ok like that

Again, operating on our own is good, but we need to interoperate with everyone else simultaneously in an easy manner. It relieves tensions.
