I think long term I think money disappears as a concept. Honestly, it's kind of strange. But in a
Speaker:future where anyone can have anything, I think you're no longer need money as a database for
Speaker:labor allocation. If AI and robotics are big enough to satisfy all human needs, then money is
Speaker:no longer. Its relevance declines dramatically. I'm not sure we will have it. So what he's saying is
Speaker:in the future there will really be no cash per se, or no monetary system. However, we will have a
Speaker:store of value. Surely what's interesting on that level is Elon is talking about no monetary system.
Speaker:We could have anything you possibly want. I wonder, does it actually mean. Hey guys, welcome to this
Speaker:episode of Crypto Collective. I'm going to be jumping into reactions today, and I've been told
Speaker:on the down low that this episode is going to be around the future of money. All right, let's jump
Speaker:into it. You have a $50 bill, and I give it to the barber for my haircut, and then he
Speaker:goes and buys groceries with it from the grocer, and the grocer goes and gets his car wash to $50,
Speaker:goes from place to place, and after 20 or 30 transactions, the $50 bill belongs to somebody and
Speaker:it's worth $50. Whereas if I pay by card, 1.5% goes to the bank. And then if he takes the
Speaker:money I've given him and pays for the groceries, 1.5% goes to the bank. And after the groceries
Speaker:have been paid for when he goes get his car wash, 1.5% goes to the bank. So after 20 or 30
Speaker:transactions, the $50 has gone. The bank has it all. I think that's why they're so desperate to get
Speaker:rid of cash. The banks love it. CBDCs are the next level because most of the money is completely
Speaker:digital. Then they control everything you do with it. They control where it goes, but they can also
Speaker:control how and when it can be spent. Imagine some terrible future dystopian
Speaker:society where your money arrives and they say you can only be spent on food, or it can only be spent
Speaker:on vegetables because you've had too much meat this week, or you can't buy transport to a
Speaker:particular area because there's resistance to government oppression in that area. So your money
Speaker:won't work for trains right now, because nobody can go down there because we don't want everyone
Speaker:in a large group. We want everyone at home in their pods And they can track everywhere it goes,
Speaker:and they can also track how it's spent. They control how it's spent. They put a time limit on
Speaker:it. They have an hour to spend this money. It's scary. This is scary. Andrew Tate is talking about
Speaker:what could happen in the future. We've seen this now rolling out all through China. It's got
Speaker:programable money. Even the UK is talking about this exact dystopian type of monetary
Speaker:system. But what's interesting is, on the other hand, in Australia, we've got Jim Chalmers only a
Speaker:few days ago said they're mandating cash. And I thought I didn't see that coming. I thought they
Speaker:were definitely going to say, we're going to roll back cash because you can't even get cash out of
Speaker:the bank. In fact, maybe that's the play they're saying that you can actually get. We want to
Speaker:mandate cash, but you can't actually get cash out of the bank, you see. And then ultimately it'll
Speaker:just become CBDCs. They're slowly working on it behind the scenes, and it'll be all programable
Speaker:money. Because we know the Labor Party loves control. They're socialists at heart, I think long
Speaker:term I think money disappears as a concept. Honestly, it's kind of strange. But in a future
Speaker:where anyone can have anything, I think you no longer need money as a database for labor
Speaker:allocation. If AI and robotics are big enough to satisfy all human needs, then money is no longer.
Speaker:Its relevance declines dramatically. I'm not sure we will have it. The best sort of imagining of
Speaker:this future that I've read is from Iain Banks The Culture Books. So I recommend people read the
Speaker:culture books in the sort of far future of the culture books. They don't have money either, and
Speaker:everyone can pretty much have whatever they want. There are still some fundamental currencies, if
Speaker:you will, that are physics based. Energy is the real is the true currency. This is why I said
Speaker:Bitcoin is based on energy. You can't legislate energy. You can't just pass a law and suddenly
Speaker:have a lot of energy. It's very difficult to generate energy, especially to harness energy and
Speaker:a useful way to do useful work. That's really interesting. So what he's saying is in the future,
Speaker:there will really be no cash per se, or no monetary system. However, we will have a store of
Speaker:value. Surely what's interesting on that level is Elon's talking about no monetary system where you
Speaker:could have anything you possibly want. I wonder, does it actually mean anything? Can we just go and
Speaker:say, well, we want a Lamborghini and we want, you know, a brand new house anytime we want. What I do
Speaker:know is that the governments, I believe, will slowly start moving towards a universal basic
Speaker:income. What I think will happen, it'll be the haves and the have nots. The haves own the Bitcoin
Speaker:and the have nots do not own the Bitcoin. But do you want to be in the position where you're
Speaker:reliant on the government under a universal basic income? I know I wouldn't even if it said you can
Speaker:have whatever you want. I guarantee you that's not going to be the case. It will be. You can have
Speaker:whatever you want within your universal basic income, but it'll be sold to us as you don't have
Speaker:to work anymore. You can just sit back and relax and we'll all become absolute zombies. And that's
Speaker:not the world that I want to live in. Hey, just quickly, if you're ready to dive deeper into

Speaker:back to the episode. I've actually lived like this before. This is
Speaker:what it is actually like living paycheck to paycheck. In fact, during my many, many years of
Speaker:living, there was a period of time where I didn't even have this luxury of living paycheck to
Speaker:paycheck. I was living from credit card to credit card. Then I had to make some pretty drastic
Speaker:decisions in my life. I had to start thinking about investing in myself, and that's exactly what
Speaker:I did. I spent money that I didn't even have invested in myself, which ultimately worked out
Speaker:quite well. I then became a multi-millionaire, and I don't have to now worry about living from
Speaker:credit card to credit card, or what many people do now is they live paycheck to paycheck. But I want
Speaker:to give some words of wisdom from myself who've now got out of that paycheck to paycheck system.
Speaker:And that is invest in yourself. Learn a skill might be learn how to invest.
Speaker:Certainly fundamentally, I believe learn how to stack Bitcoin. I'm going to buy some strawberries
Speaker:and I'm offering exactly the right amount of money here. I've actually seen this one. So you
Speaker:people take that money 1.90 pound and I will take my strawberries
Speaker:outside. You want to call the police? You can take all the pieces and get away. You can't take it.
Speaker:They just put the money on the counter, and the shop owners say you can't take them. You can't
Speaker:take the merchandise. The strawberries break the law. I paid by legal, obviously, just
Speaker:trying to prove a point. And this has happened in Australia too. A
Speaker:friend of mine went to a place legal tender. They wouldn't accept cash, this dystopian claim. Is this
Speaker:going to be what it's like in the future? Ironically, the treasurer, Jim Chalmers, just
Speaker:mandated in the past couple of weeks that shops have to accept cash. Right. We
Speaker:have to accept cash, which is interesting because obviously places in the UK they choose not to
Speaker:accept the cash. But let me know in the comments. Should we keep cash or should we just do away
Speaker:with it because most people don't even use cash? Really. We all like to use our tap and go.
Speaker:Ultimately, the question isn't going to be whether you're going to pay with cash or card, because
Speaker:what will happen in the future will all move to the Bitcoin standard. Everyone will be paying with
Speaker:Bitcoin. And that's what I think the important thing to understand about central bank digital
Speaker:currency in an all digital financial system is it's it's not a currency, it's a
Speaker:control grid. Now, the process to implement central currency around the world is being
Speaker:overseen by the Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland. The BIS, the Bank of
Speaker:International Settlements is owned by its members. The New York Fed and the fed are both. The Board
Speaker:of Governors are both shareholders in the BIS. 63 of the top central banks are in the BIS, and they
Speaker:are running a process with a major partnership with the Federal Reserve to implement CBDCs in
Speaker:their prototyping around the world. In 2020 October 2020, there was a panel at the IMF,
Speaker:IMF on cross-border payments. Jay Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is there. Augustine Carson
Speaker:was there. And Augustine Carson said the following. Our analysis on CBDC, in
Speaker:particular for the use of general to the general use, we tend to establish the
Speaker:equivalence with cash. And there is a huge difference there. For example, in
Speaker:cash, we don't know, for example, who's using a $100 bill today. We don't know who is using the
Speaker:$1,000 bill today. A key difference with the CBDC is that
Speaker:central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will
Speaker:determine the use of that expression of central bank liability. And also it says
Speaker:it all that this total CBDC rollout is all about digital control.
Speaker:And that's why you need to break out of the old Fiat and the soon to be coming
Speaker:central bank digital currency system. You need to get out of that system and move to the
Speaker:decentralized system. And the only system that currently exists is the Bitcoin standard, right?
Speaker:That's what you need to be doing right now. And stacking as much Bitcoin as you possibly can. Now
Speaker:don't take my advice. Don't think about what I'm talking about. If you want to stay in the old
Speaker:system of the of the debased fiat system. Sure. Stay in that and then you'll happily then move
Speaker:over to the central bank digital currencies, where you're going to be completely controlled within
Speaker:your little mini city of what you can and can't do, how much groceries you can buy, how much steak
Speaker:you can buy, how much fuel you can buy. Right. It'll all be tracked and you'll be the one who will be
Speaker:suffering under that system. Okay, guys, that's it for this episode. That was all about the future
Speaker:monetary system. Tell me what you think. Would you want to. Three options. Stay in the current
Speaker:debased, inflated fiat system, move to a central bank digital currency and be completely
Speaker:controlled. Or move to a Bitcoin standard where it's completely decentralized and you have
Speaker:full control? Let me know in the comments. All right. Take care. Hey, thanks for tuning into Crypto
