Part 9/13:
Andreas challenges the traditional view that money must carry a national flag or be issued solely by states. Instead, he envisions a world where currency is akin to language—diverse, participatory, and free from geopolitical constraints. Bitcoin exemplifies this, offering a global monetary system that any individual can use without permission.
He emphasizes that Bitcoin will not replace national currencies but will coexist, enriching the financial ecosystem. Governments should keep their hands off this transformative technology for at least five years, allowing it to breathe and develop organically. The mistake, he warns, would be for regulators to pass laws without understanding its implications—stifling the innovation that could uplift billions without bank access.
