The Gold Standard: an alternative economic history of the twentieth century, where fiat money died in 1915.
What would the world look like if we had a gold standard in the twentieth century? What would life be like with constantly appreciating money and declining prices? What would have happened if governments could not have financed themselves with inflation in the last century without accountability? How would living standards and wages have changed? How would the state have evolved? What would have happened to education, technology, politics, and our production of energy?
The Gold Standard attempts to answer these questions with a fictional economic history of an alternative twentieth century in which the fiat money experiment fails in 1915. French aviation pioneer Louis Blériot partners with the Wright brothers in 1911 to build an airplane-based decentralized peer-to-peer gold clearance service, the Bleriot Transport Corporation (BTC). Contrary to expectations, BTC is a success and demand for its services is robust, and when the Great War begins in the summer of 1914, BTC offers citizens everywhere the chance to escape central bank inflation by exporting their wealth to neutral countries. The result is a global financial panic in September 1915 that bankrupts all the world’s major central banks and destroys their currencies. A new decentralized modern gold standard is built around peer-to-peer airplane gold clearance, and an entirely different twentieth century unfolds.

It's going to be great book....real trilogy
„Have fun staying poor“ said blériot 😂😂😂
Very quaint
Blessed are the hodlers
For they shall inherit the earth.
Now when I'm listening to The Gold Standard, I'm thinking how come that wasn't true? Such a brilliant ideas to create P2P gold lending aviation company...
Same. But fast transportation came near the end of the gold standard
Sounds a bit like the concept of the Philip K Dick book I’m reading at the moment - The Man in the High Castle - about what the 20th century would have been like if Germany and Japan won the war.
PKD seemed well attuned to the fundamentals of real economics - all the books of his I’ve read so far have some aspect related to it, like the extremely scarce moss that was used as money in I think “The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich” or “Ubik”
I'm a Bitcoin maxi that is trying my best to understand MSTR. I think it's healthy to explore opposing viewpoints.
What you really need, in my opinion, is a financial advisor assigned by a brokerage firm to trade for you, manage your capital expertly, and provide you with weekly investment returns free of further costs.
Evelyn Turner is the advisor who provides me with guidance. Her insights, ideal returns, and daily signal are amazing.
Yeah, Evelyn Turner was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Evelyn Turner. She is my number one source when it comes to crypto and TA.
Evelyn Turner has it all, and you never lose money when you follow her trades, so I'm not shocked to find nothing but positive about her signals.
Do you guys know her? We own a house and a car, and she transformed me.She is good. I must admit that her technique shocked me; her success story is widely known.
In the following talk I discuss the aviation development story
