Part 12/18:
Regarding geopolitical implications, GG predicts a gradual decline of large, bureaucratic states. As Bitcoin’s adoption grows and regulatory arbitrage becomes easier, populations will increasingly relocate to jurisdictions offering better legal and economic environments. He advocates for the “sovereign individual” thesis: people will vote with their feet, moving to countries and states that respect individual rights and offer conducive frameworks for Bitcoin.
GG envisions a future where city-states or small polities, like Zug in Switzerland, serve as hubs for innovation, privacy, and financial sovereignty. He sees a societal transition where the influence of centralized authorities diminishes as individuals and businesses leverage technology and Bitcoin to regain control over their lives.
