Well said Mike, thanks for posting.

We can’t stay on top of the Grand Energy Ponzi as it is collapsing.

Best to land on our feet well out of the way of the big crash, and hit the ground running, I think.

Money as solar powered proof of work tokens seems to be the silver bullet. This has become more and more apparent over the past few years.

It is coming about, with the ultimate effect of aligning money with energy from the sun, instead of with the capital of Earth as it was, and that is really cool.

It will manifest at first as rampant inflation, but the amazing thing that we’ve seen already when $4Tn free money was issued, it goes up in value when issued, rather than down, like we saw before.

When that is realised, we will start to see an economy resembling an electric circuit, or piped irrigation system, which has always been there, but never really switched on.

As long as the amount issued stays less than the amount of solar power being used to generate / undetwrite it, the value has to keep rising.

So it works the opposite way of money as capital, which tended to reward enforcement of scarcity, giving us the concept of profit (Resulting directly in the Grand Energy Ponzi).

This new money rewards for distributing, rather than scarcifying.

That is a whole new ball game.

There, if we know what to look for, we see a system with qualities similar to physical piped or wired systems, where the flowrate and volume of money can be Engineered using the same concepts as pressure/voltage, and current/flowrate, with price drops across consumer junctions, and market value in all places acting like system pressure.

I wrote an article about that a year or two ago in Medium, building on Bitcoin as a Kardashev Hinge.

I will try to dig it out if anyone is interested, but like you said, folk seem to be not capable of seeing it yet.
