Hi Hendrick, the way things are going, I suspect we will fall into something like this.
The likely sequence of events is firstly more and more issuances of fiat stimulus, because authorities have no choice but to issue it, as more and more people demand it.
So fiat will gradually inflate, more than we care to keep count of, but it will happen to all fiat currencies, all around the world, at the same time, as all will be freely issuing, so it will still be possible to evaluate them relative to one another, but a given sum of any fiat currency will have a very limited shelf life, it will be far better to spend it on something useful, whilst it still has value, than put in an account when it is issued.
It will be a minor next step to go from massively issued free fiat, to individually issued pesonal currencies, when the question is asked by authorities, “why do we need to carry on being involved”, why not automate the whole process and let everyone make their own money.
In effect, our money system will move to mimic the action of plants in nature, they absorb sunlight, and convert that to nutrients and various other forms of energy consumed by all mammals.
It seems natural our money system will evolve to do the same, enabling us to add continuous creative value to our planet, massively accelerating the action of plants.
I think we are on the edge of this transition, we are starting to see the initial edge of global inflation, lets see how much more stimulus is issued.
When we start to lose count of issued stimulus, then we are well on the way to the new world.
A further consequence of the way things will work is the complete devaluation of all capital.
Oil, Gold, and even Bitcoin will lose what we previously considered value, posession of anything is no longer necessary, if we have guaranteed free money forever.
However, possesion of a small amount of Bitcoin will be a requirement, as that will be the power authority needed to issue solar backed currency, as Bitcoin is uniquely the Kardashev Hinge, our interface between solar energy, and financial currency, at a rate of around one MW per Bitcoin.
Oil prices will again go negative, and stay negative, forever.
That, is how we will save our planet, and ourselves as a species, I believe.
I could be wrong, but I have faith this is the way things will go, it all fits together like a jigsaw puzzle, it seems to me.
