In school I learned the laws of thermodynamics, and one of those laws was that Entropy, a force acting on all things at a subatomic level, and pulling all things apart, was the strongest force in the universe.
Chaos
Chaos is a term more familiar to most people than Entropy, and it is I think of it as Entropy’s Earth bound twin. Chaos is a force attempting to create disorder, by disrupting order.
Modern societies are built on rules and systems which are designed to create order.
History teaches us that Chaos always wins.
History
Civilizations rise and fall, and no matter how large or small, Chaos destroys them all. Entropy is after all the strongest force in the universe, and Chaos is its earthbound twin.
History of Money
Currency, Money, Fiat, or whatever name the medium of exchange, and storage of value goes by these days, have a history which mirrors civilization.
They are created to bring order to the Chaos of trade and commerce, literally rules and regulations regarding the exchange of goods and services.
But they are imperfect systems, owned by Kings or other forms of government, and they are all subject to manipulation. Thus they provide advantage to some over others.
This root problem of private or government ownership of money and financial infrastructure, has historically been blamed for the susceptibility to corruption and collapse.
Bitcoin is a new currency, medium of exchange and store of value. It is not government or privately owned. It is not owned by anyone. It was a gift to humanity, from a person or persons known only as Satoshi Nakamoto.
It is a better form of money than humanity has had before, as far as we know. It is a creation built not just to survive Chaos, but to Thrive on Chaos.
Bitcoin is built to Survive the fall of our current money system and to provide a way for the collapse of money to be dealt with without war, death and destruction. It provides a way, for the first time in history, for a civilization to transition peacefully, from a monetary collapse to a new monetary system, without a civilization collapse, war and destruction.
