Part 6/13:
Antonopoulos foresees a future with a proliferation of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of different currencies. Many of these will have value only within small groups or niche communities—be it for a sports team, an artist, a local taxi service, or shared assets.
He highlights that these emerging currencies won't replace national or traditional currencies but will serve new purposes and forms of social organization—what he terms "societies of common purpose." These are decentralized, borderless communities that operate on trust and shared values, exemplifying how money is evolving beyond geography into a tool for collective identity and purpose.
