Deep dives
The Illusion of a Global Free Market
The concept of a global free market has yet to be fully realized, as current systems are deeply rooted in ever-expanding credit and inflation. This reliance creates a cognitive dissonance, as many struggle to grasp the new economic dynamics introduced by technologies like Bitcoin, which favors deflation. The status quo of inflationary practices obscures the understanding of how technology can actually drive prices down, leading to confusion among entrepreneurs and consumers alike. The existing economic models often fail to acknowledge that true market value is reflected in a deflationary environment where competition fosters innovation rather than reliance on debt.
