My fellow retards,
“Two thousand years of monotheistic brainwashing have caused most Westerners to see polytheism as ignorant and childish idolatry. This is an unjust stereotype.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
Society is brainwashed. They accept a medium of exchange backed by naked force and nothing more, as if this is how things have always been. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Fiat money only came to dominate in the 20th century. It wasn’t until 1971 when the Nixon shock decoupled the USD from gold that the world fully shifted to a currency backed by faith and fiat.
Throughout history most transactions were peer to peer. Neither the Huns nor the Maori used global banking networks for settlement. Even the Medici didn’t involve massive credit card companies. We ended up gravitating towards these behemoths in the name of convenience afforded to us by technology.
If the Phonon network had existed back then, it would have been even more convenient to build upon but alas, we begin with this environment of massive corporations able to banish any individual at a whim, and with no recourse.
That’s bullshit. These systems are terrible, and they will not continue to thrive.
With technology, the common man can fight back—Phonon gives power to all users without the threat of an omnipotent goliath-like cartel. Phonon is the sling to every David who would put out the eye of their oppressor.
Phonon gives us a private payment system, better than credit cards in myriad ways. You have instant transaction finality. No ability to reverse payments. No tracking by globohomo. True privacy. It scales with each added user. Transactions still happen even if the internet is down. This is the future phon/ongod is invested in.
