I am scared of bitcoin
The year is 2037. After years of reckless money printing, global fiat currencies collapse almost simultaneously. The dollar, euro, and yuan are reduced to worthless paper. Nations default on their debts. Banks shut down.
At first, panic erupts: grocery stores can’t price food, governments can’t pay workers, and people line up desperately at ATM machines that no longer dispense cash.
The only currency with global trust is Bitcoin.
But here’s the catch— • Only a tiny fraction of the population actually holds meaningful amounts of Bitcoin. • Many who once dismissed it or “forgot their wallet passwords” are left with nothing. • The majority are instantly impoverished, while a small class of early adopters—called the Bitcoin Lords—become unimaginably wealthy.
Life Under Bitcoin Rule 1. Extreme Wealth Divide • Those with Bitcoin own land, energy, and food production. • Everyone else must work for fractions of a satoshi just to survive. 2. Power Vacuum • Governments collapse because they can’t tax or control Bitcoin. • Instead, private security forces and “Bitcoin-backed kingdoms” rise. • Cities are controlled by the richest wallets—anonymous digital monarchs who can buy loyalty with instant, untraceable payments. 3. Digital Serfdom • Most people don’t own Bitcoin—they rent access to it by working for Bitcoin holders. • Imagine peasants in the Middle Ages, but instead of paying taxes in grain, they pay their lords in satoshis. 4. No Escape • Since everything is recorded on the blockchain, wealth is transparent. • If you have nothing, everyone knows. If you have a lot, you’re targeted. • The poor can’t hide, and the rich can’t ever really spend without becoming targets. 5. Energy Wars • Bitcoin mining becomes the foundation of power. Control energy, and you control money creation. • Regions with cheap energy (Iceland, Siberia, parts of Africa) become the new global centers of influence. • Wars are fought not for oil—but for hydroelectric dams and solar farms.
The Horror Bitcoin was once a dream of freedom from fiat corruption, but it mutates into a new tyranny: • A world run not by governments or corporations—but by a handful of anonymous wallet addresses. • If you don’t have Bitcoin, you’re invisible, powerless, and expendable. • Instead of democracy, society is ruled by cryptographic oligarchs—people you never see, who never speak, but whose decisions ripple across the entire planet.
