I don't think we're all that far off from a one world currency, but I don't think it will be bitcoin if it continues as is. It's too unorganized, there is currently a complete lack of transparency when it comes to the individuals who manage the Bitcoin Core code base. The whole bitcoin ecosystem suffers from a lack of diversity when it comes to both programming languages and implementations.

I do think the one world currency will be in crypto, but certain developments need to happen such as an architectural separation of the functionality of the wallet and the kernel. It also needs to be much more user friendly, but these things will come in time, and are currently being developed.

Only a matter of time before blockchain connects mankind in more ways than one  Smiley

This is great, I love a good conspiracy!

I have seen this magazine posted before but I never noticed the 10/10 date on the phoenix's neck. I do believe that things from the past in a sense dictate and predict the future, but on the other hand I don't think some global cabal has complete control over the world.

I have been looking around for news and things that have come out today that could maybe be significant and I think this report by the IMF is the most prominent thing.

https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2018/09/24/world-economic-outlook-october-2018

This report is also linked and talked about in the following article:

https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/1029311/Bitcoin-price-news-cryptocurrency-price-rise-blockchain-international-monetary-fund

Express seems to be an entertainment based conservative news outlet based in the UK, maybe someone could correct me if I am wrong? I don't live in UK.

I stand with Ukraine.
It seems like they were off by 9 years but it's okay for such long-term predictions in this fast-paced world of ours. I mean, a one world currency was born in 2009 and it was called Bitcoin. Just replace the coin in their cover picture with this



and you'll get a typical Bitcoin promo pic similar to this one:

The success of independence movements around the world like #brexit make a single world currency more unlikely by the day.

The desire for one world currencies might be measured by support in additional #brexit votes--until the desired outcome is achieved where the UK remains part of the EU. This may represent the ideal outcome for bankers who seek control over the entirety of the world's monetary supply under a one world currency.

It may be too late for the one world currency. They may have to wait decades until people collectively forget about the failure inherent in pro centralization movements like the european union to try again. Distrust in governments and lack of faith in world leaders is growing as conditions worsen. Independence is gradually being seen as a preferable option, which decreases acceptance for wild state based policy such as one world currencies or one world governments.

Going down memory lane, the only region which I believe the issue of one currency has survived is only the EU and with the vote of UK to exit, it just dealt a blow to every move that have been made by other regions to first unify their own currency before talking about the world. Today, even countries that have the ''dollar'' to their name find a way to add their identity to it.

The fact is, the issue of currency goes beyond just something that is being used as a medium of exchange. It goes to the root of the country. For example, some countries currency carries picture of a revered leader, some the tribes that makes the country, others is about a dominant trade, others its on the basis of culture which they have been used as a medium of connection between the new generation and the old generation that have gone ahead of them. It them means that with one currency, all of this will be eradicated. That alone won't go down without some opposition.

Another factor is the individual country ego, how exactly would United States be convinced to adopt another currency which would mean letting go the power their currency have taken in the world economy and convincing China or Russia on how they fall in line to adopt the US dollars. Putting all this together, saying its too late to achieve that would be an understatement.

This is some 1988 "clickbait"+"fake news"!
Well,this proves that "The Economist" had invented clickbait and fake news decades before those terms became big.
The idea of a single global currency belongs to John Maynard Keynes,not some stupid author/journalist from that newspaper.

Wow. It's really interesting to find out how many ways we can make the predictions about the future wrong ...
It would be great to keep the articles we write today, and get a laugh, reading them in thirty years ...

Did anyone remember that today was the day of the infamous cover of the Economist released in January 1988 predicting a one world currency? Well today is the day:



I haven't been following the news, but I guess nothing relevant happened. Perhaps it marks the start of the bull run? would be cool isn't it. Well for what is worth, the bitcoin all time graph is looking good, it's becoming nice and flat, just like when the bear market in after the MtGox crash ended.
