As babies, we have colorful toys in the shape of pyramids.
As children, we are amazed by movies and cartoons about Ancient Egypt.
As teenagers, we were instigated to know the mysteries of the pyramids of Giza.
As adults, we realize that we have been part of pyramids inside pyramids since we were babies.
We are introduced to different concepts of pyramids, and usually with the polished speech that the base supports the top, in order to show what and who is really in power. And is it like that in practice?
Maslow's pyramid: the basis is the physiological needs.
Food Pyramid: the basis is the energy nutrients.
Age Pyramid: the base is composed of the youngest individuals.
I can stay here all day long citing examples but you have already realized where I want to go, right?!
The most interesting thing is when, already in adulthood, we realize that the concept of pyramid applies mainly to money.
First, we are warned not to enter into financial pyramid schemes, and in theory, by people who would never participate in something like that. Even because these people love their hard-earning money and do not fall into the tale of the promised returns.
Second, itโ€™s president after president, and we are always faced with the idea that a tax reform is extremely necessary. Because the retirement system is a great Ponzi scheme.
So, of course you and I, who are very smart, will not subject ourselves to this, and we will fight against all forms of financial abuse.
Then, think with me...
Central banks issue currency when they need to cover some debt, either for political interest or for political interest ๐Ÿ‘€, and the result of this is increasing inflation.
And what does this inflation entail?
It will make the poorest, who are the largest number of people on planet Earth, and by coincidence, or not, THE BASE THAT SUSTAINS THE PYRAMID, spend more and more money to buy the same old items.
Hey, so does that mean it's a Ponzi scheme signed and stamped by the world's largest authorities?
Do people who have always opened your eyes to be careful with schemes also warn you about this danger? Do they see this abuse?
The bases of the pyramids I mentioned make us reach the tops at some point.
The base of the pyramid applied by the big banks makes us get further and further away from the top, but ALWAYS ensuring that the pyramid will NEVER break.
AT LEAST UNTIL BITCOIN CAME TO LIFE.
Bitcoin fixes this!
You could even argue Bitcoin does resemble that pyramid in its current distribution. But I feel through time even this will be fixed either through early early adopters flat out dying, with their coins immovable, or people spending things to either improve their livelihood or those around them with their unimaginable wealth they end up storing.
Perhaps Bitcoin fixes this is. Yet has to resemble that very pyramid at its beginning to undo it. People just haven't noticed its upside down this time. Touching tips one might hazard.
It's the mirror. The reflection of a failing system staring at itself seing its blemishes. Revealing.
Time to invert that pyramid. Make an hourglass pyramid. And give enough time for that value to start at the bottom before we as humans ruin it again through generations due to our own inherent hubris.
Then we can talk about a hard fork or something.
