This 1997 book already talked about how something like Bitcoin would change everything.
People don't still see what Bitcoin means because they don't know cryptographers have been dreaming without something like it for ages. Banks and other corporation CEOtards running around with their little Powerpoint trash are still coping with muh "blockchain technology", trying to profit from the latest fad while missing the entire point. They are like pigs playing in the mud.

You can consider yourself lucky if you own 1 BTC.

If you are from the million club (21 BTC) you'll be rich as fuck in a decade, if you have what it takes to hold through all the bullshit.

Bond market will crash. Boomers will pay. Normies will wageslave.

Vengance will be brutally served. They have no idea.

this only talks about encrypted communication and not about cryptocurrency per se. if this is predicting bitcoin, then I say F.A. Hayek predicted it in 1974:

>“If the existing currencies continued to depreciate, the demand for a stable currency would rapidly increase and competing enterprises offering similar but differently-named units would soon emerge”

Thanks anon

It's just a given now. It's a matter of time. It seems like a long-shot to some people because it's the internet, it's some online thing that started out for video games and drug dealing - but it's truly the future of commerce

I'm going to get this book

i liked the part where the white race will be mixed and any outsiders will be left in the dirt.
