Interesting idea.

I have also thought about this a lot lately. I follow geopolitical and macroeconomic trends with much interest and if I were to say anything that encompasses this large rubric, it would be that it's that it is happening at a breath-taking pace.

“Right now there are changes – the likes of which we haven't seen for 100 years – and we are the ones driving these changes together,” Xi told Putin as he stood at the door of the Kremlin to bid him farewell. The Russian president responded: “I agree.” 22 Mar 2023

The show in front of the curtain is the tragedy of Ukraine, the much larger show that is hidden behind is the battle for financial supremacy between: the status quo financial behemoths, the banking elite you may call them, who wish to remain supreme; vs the emerging global south and their now open desire to be finally rid of the US dollar yoke; vs the nascent emergence of non state sponsored money based around the technological revolution which is Bitcoin.

More and more people are being confronted by the need to place their bets on what comes next and Bitcoin is gradually emerging as a real contender to be a base layer that nobody controls and everyone trusts.

To conclude my comment, I, as a fiction writer, am trying to capture through short stories the dilemmas and confrontations that will define this transition from a man in the street perspective.

Till now I have not published any of them here in Substack but it's coming.
