Excerpt from a 2023 YouTube discussion imagining life in 2069 focused on technology and money: the speaker predicts a single global currency by 2069, possibly a cryptocurrency or a centralized CBDC, and expresses personal pro-crypto views (pro-Bitcoin) while acknowledging trade-offs.
What are you looking forward to in the future? What do you see happening? Like go all the way to 2069. What do you think has changed for us with tech? Because you mentioned that you love tech so much.
Our currency and it might be cryptocurrency based, there should be a global currency by then. Our world economy continues to globalize, so there will be a global currency. And the United nations recognizes about 193 sovereign nations. We don't have quite that many currencies, but yeah, it just doesn't make much sense to continue to do these conversions and continue to have these, these problems with our currency. So I think we're all going to be using one currency. Don't know if it's going to be cryptocurrency or I don't know if it's going to be a centralized global cbdc. That remains to be seen. But I am a crypto guy. I'm fairly pro bitcoin, although it does have a number of its problems. But yeah, that's where we'll be in 2069 with a global currency that there are some good things and some bad things there.
