Part 9/11:
Drawing a parallel to the evolution of finance since 1971—when the US dollar went off the gold standard—Lee envisions a future where financial instruments are primarily "synthetic," created via tokenization. Wall Street, in his view, will produce synthetic versions of traditional assets, ranging from stocks to credits, with Ethereum at the center of this transformation.
He foresees Ethereum facilitating a massive shift toward a programmable, tokenized financial system, aligning with efforts to create a sophisticated infrastructure akin to the early days of dollar dominance but now centered around blockchain technology. BITmine, in this context, could serve as a payment rail or even a banking facilitator, consolidating its role in this new digital economy.
