That's what the billionaires want; "Peter Thiel stated in his book, Zero to One: “PayPal had a suitably grand mission — We wanted to create a new internet currency to replace the US dollar.” PayPal’s “co-founder” was Elon Musk, showing both parties aimed to replace the US dollar from a very early date in their careers. Marc Andreessen has also been instrumental in financing the rise of Bitcoin." "Peter Thiel has also been a central figure, stating in 2022 “Bitcoin is the most honest market in the world. It’s the most efficient market… It is telling us that the central banks are bankrupt, that we are at the end of the fiat money regime.”"
Tearing down the financial and economic power structures that exist today is what Musk and Thiel and Andreessen and Srinivasan and Ellison have been funding with this Trump administration; not even in the shadows. And replace it with dictatorships which they rule without regard to the residents opinions:
"“The basic idea of Patchwork is that, as the crappy governments we inherited from history are smashed, they should be replaced by a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents’ opinions. If residents don’t like their government, they can and should move." (“[A patchwork] may also import menial laborers, as Dubai does today, but they are not to be confused with the actual residents.”)

- timothygold 2y agoThe point in the article is those billionaires should not be allowed to influence a system being organically created by real people. Whether it be patchwork or whatever the outcome of that organic process is.
