The Internet has altered the future. For him, everything is being renewed. First, it was the jobs related to technology, then the rest. A recent retiree may never have touched a computer, but be literally forced to use a mobile if you want to access your money.
I start from the idea that most of what we considered future is already happening. The present does not stop sending us signals, warns us of the disappearance of physical money and simultaneously the shitcoins they go viral. When it seems that we begin to pay attention to cryptocurrencies, a gurucoin He tells us on his Twitch channel that buying bitcoins went out of style in December 2020.
Virality has taken over our lives. We hesitate between questions as disparate as whether it is better to renew our leather wallet or open a hot wallet (platform connected to the internet that allows you to store cryptocurrencies). The system itself does not allow to differentiate between true or false information. Bitcoin can go up and down 20% on the same day. Too hypetoo eager to create the next great disruption, to be the first in everything and in nothing.
Will we talk about cryptocurrencies in 2035?
Ethereum may have become the go-to cryptocurrency by then, only to disappear after a stupid viral bug. exist coins invented by anonymous people that have managed to combine more value and capital than developed countries. As a dystopia it is so incongruous that brilliant minds like George Orwell’s never imagined a future as absurd as our current present.
Many of us agree that digital agents are as necessary as they are inevitable. We are so given over to this type of frugal emotions that we will only be able to take action and set limits when we have seen first-hand the consequences of our addictions. As happened with tobacco or heroin, we are at the point where we know that the way in which we are consuming everything that appears on the internet is not healthy, we know that there is something addictive and dangerous in it, but at the moment we are not very interested in finding out how it will affect our minds.
The main challenge of society and of all the individuals that make it up will have to be to establish limits of conduct for ourselves. We must convince ourselves that those actions based on the frenzy of the likesthey will probably lead us towards emotional bankruptcy and, occasionally, also financial.
The task we face is to improve our understanding of risk and build a better version of ourselves as digital consumers. One way to start this approach to knowledge can perfectly start from the search for sources of knowledge. reliable informationfrom media such as the one collected in these lines.
My experience in the digital world tells me that cryptocurrencies offer us something beyond a simple investment, they are the engine that is promoting the financial change that this hyperconnected world demands. Faced with such a radical change in concept, governments and financial institutions will have to choose: evolution or death.
