Steve KelseyWhat’s wrong with money?
Just because something is working it doesn’t mean you can’t fix it.
The following is a record of my current thoughts on what money might look like in the 21st century if we leverage the profound evolutionary change money experienced in 2009.
I believe existing digital currencies are just the first step in the evolution of digital currencies that could follow many functional branches, a ‘Cambrian explosion’ of new forms and uses. Once the paradigm shift has been made from ‘money as a database entry’ to money as a piece of software, money can become an active agent in transactions. That paradigm shift occurred in 2009 with release of Bitcoin’s Genesis block, we are just playing conceptual catch up.
