Hey guys what do you think ?

Will we have a global currency?

I personally think that the idea of global currency will benefit citizens, there won't be exchange tax and other things , but at the same time it will kill the competency of the countries that the political leaders think is important , there will be no more best to worst currencies , no exchange rates and nothing.
Will it be beneficial?

I think the benefits are more than compensating for the bad effects.

I think this wide variety of currencies  do have some advantages
If we will have a global currency will it be internet based?

I don't think it can be internet based because more or so there will always be a sector which doesn't plan on using the money and worse who doesn't know how to use the internet and how do you plan on giving this advantage to the tribal people ? It will be worse , it will be like , if someone wants to kill the economy of the world entirely they just need to shut down the internet and everything, every transaction will stop.

Please share your views ?

If there were to be a dominant global currency, it will be internet based.

It simply doesn't make sense to bring back the gold standard or silver standard when there is something far more convenient, in my opinion. Especially when you take into the costs of making transactions overseas if your proposed form of global currency exists in a physical form only, it's not much better than having to exchange between different currencies right now.

Your concern about the ease of which the currency may be shut down/targeted also doesn't make sense. Shutting down the internet is a much more difficult task than what you would imagine, and if the currency is decentralised like bitcoin, even more so. It might actually be easier to overthrow a global currency that is issued in physical form by a single entity.


More or so it was a metaphor  the thing is more than 80% of the humanity lives in less than 10$ a day , and I don't think internet is accessible for them.

That section is comprising 80% and we cannot target a global currency for just 20% for them internet might as well doesn't exist.

Clean food and roof over their head is more important.
I understand that the internet is decentralized but what if a country is in a war ??
That would be easy to break all the ties with the world .
And then there are countries like North Korea more or so .
It's weird to think that the currency can be internet based.

Nobody can shut down the internet,because internet is a network of servers.Can you shut down all of them?
That's why nobody can shut down the blockchain.As long as there are miners,the blockchain will continue to exist.By the way,bitcoin can be printed on paper.Nobody is saying that bitcoin will be 100% digital. Grin
We already have a global currency.It's called US dollar and it's a pretty shitty global currency. Grin

You can shut it down in parts of the world, or even in a country. The internet is centralized at the moment, this is the problem. And something some people are trying to fix. If you decentralize internet, like Bitcoin with nodes distributed all over the world, then sure,,, you improve chances of servers always able to send and receive information requests.

Bitcoin is digital make it on paper does not make it physical,,, or does it? I am confused.

Nope, I think it's impossible.

Which citizens? What would be its value? Without competition in the market, it will have no value. Do you think it will be adopted by major companies all around the world whos complaint with their own government rules?

Internet base currency will lack the support of normal people. Not all people can use the internet to purchase something and there are still place on the earth that is not within the reach of the internet.

There will be a crypto backed fiat currency where you can take the notes to the bank and receive crypto in your account, like how they used to do with silver notes in the US.
That's a possibility and apart from that we cannot expect a single common currency for the world. Each and every country has got its own economic growth and depending on the same will be their currency value, when they too were given the common value the grown countries won't accept it. For me bitcoin now is a universal currency and has got all the access throughout the world. There isn't much issues with taxes as well.

I don't think your assumption is correct. Let's say it's true that every sector don't adopt the internet-style of doing thing, but does that means they can do their business efficiently? I doubt that. For those who don't know the internet or tribal people, they don't even need it do they? I mean, they don't even need to use the internet at all. But of course they can learn and know about it, and hopefully it will help their society to progress further (we can debate what 'further' means though).

Saying we can kill the internet is too simple. The damage of doing such thing is probably greater than stoping some currency to be widely used via the internet. Banks or business in general will stop and no economic activities can continue.
