What happens when money dies?.. The truth is money as we know it won’t be
around for long and those who don’t get ready for the inevitable change
are the ones who will suffer the most through this transition.
Most people don’t realize this, but Money is a technology!
More precisely, a technology of exchange and transport.
Money allows you to transport energy through time and space!
Not sure if you’ve ever thought about it like this before but:
You deploy energy in order to transform it into money,
transport it through space and time and deploy it to purchase the energy of someone else.
Or in simpler terms: you work for money and then use that money to buy
someone else’s work at a different point in time.
Once you realize money is a technology you get a sudden wake-up call, as:
Every technology in history has suffered multiple iterations and improvements!
This version of money as we know it is nearing its death cycle.
Every time this has happened in history there are winners and losers and by the end of this video,
we hope to show you how you can make the most out of this unique opportunity or at least
not be devastated in the transition.
Welcome to alux.com. The place where future billionaires come to get inspired.
“If I asked people what they wanted, they would’ve said faster horses” - henry ford.
You don’t give people what they want, you give them what they need.
This is how people react to any technological change, but change is inevitable.
People are quick to call the end of any new technology and disregard it as a fad.
These are popular headlines when the car was introduced to the masses:
Here’s a popular cover of a magazine from new york in 1889 depicting electricity as an
unrestrained demon who’ll take over the women, frighten the children and kill your horse:
This magazine was printed at the same time
Carl Benz was patenting this outrageous idea of a “vehicle powered by a gas engine.”
In retrospect, we all know how it turned out. Skip ahead over a
hundred years and now electricity powers everything, including cars.
Historically, anyone who leverages new technology comes out ahead.
Think: gunpowder vs bows & arrows.
Using animals for agriculture vs using machines.
Handcrating items vs factories that can mass produce.
Searching for info in a library vs google-ing.
If you’re playing the game of scale, those who technologize first are the winners!
They also laughed at the personal computer…
Ken Olsen, a well known American engineer in the 60s said:
"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home"?
How did that turn out Ken?
Then they laughed at the internet:
Every technology eventually gets replaced by the newer and better version.
Now… It's happening to MONEY!
An outdated technology where we print pictures on pieces of paper, cotton or plastic and
pretend it has value because the government says so, as they control the printing press.
But if you look historically, currencies have their own expiration date due to changes in
diplomatic arrangements or technology developments. We went from seashells,
to pieces of leather, to marbles, to gold coins, to coins, to paper, to digital.
We’re already witnessing the transition to a cashless society…
but is there more to this change?
Since 1971, money has been off the gold standard:
Ever since, the US has used its military might to enforce itself as the reserve currency of the world.
All the big commodities such as oil or raw materials are traded in US dollars.
America crushed Iraq because Sadam Hussein wanted to sell oil in Euros instead of US-dollars.
the majority of countries had to hold US dollars in their reserves.
This is how the US got so incredibly rich:
Every time you create more of something, the price for each individual drops if the
demand stays the same, due to dilution of the offer. In money terms this is called inflation.
But the US was sneaky. Because Over 65% of all
the US dollars in circulation are outside the United States
Every time the US prints more money, they are exporting the inflation as well,
thus robbing both its citizens and other countries of their wealth.
If at the beginning of the year 2000, most countries had roughly 80% of their
reserves in US dollars, now.. That number is getting closer to 50%.
Other countries have smarted up and no longer wish to have their economies
pegged to a continuously diluted dollar,
which since the removal of the gold standard, has lost over 90% of its purchasing power.
People are pissed - and for good reason.
Why would you go to work if they’re diluting your pay… Why would you go to work when the
government literally printed money out of thin air and gave everyone money for free..
If you are born today you are pretty much destined for a life of consumerism and debt.
Teenagers today are unlikely to afford a home throughout their entire life.
Picture yourself being 21 with 100,000 dollars in worth of debt that you will
have to repay. You didn’t ever start your life and you’re already in the negatives.
The entire modern economy is one based on consumption and
the iterative need for rapid innovation.
In order to keep this entire charade alive,
you need to spend more money than you did last year or everything will collapse!
Every country in the world is in debt, people are unhappy and being robbed of their wealth by their
governments who are completely out-of-touch with what’s happening outside their bubble.
These are the people who are meant to oversee our progress into the next technological age..
With the rise of the internet,
more and more of the population is exhibiting digital-first behavior.
If you work online, learn online or get your entertainment online,
you’re probably one of them as well.
We are all a generation that’s ready for the
digital age while money is an old, analog technology.
The more you think about it, the more you realize that:
The digital version of anything has an exponentially bigger
impact than the analog version ever had!
Mix one and two together and you realize we are on the verge of a
new type of money that’s no longer pegged to the wishes of old men in government.
The door was opened up by blockchains and the mass adoption of smartphones.
What if we had a different kind of money, that’s digitally native,
where the supply and flow wasn’t controlled by the government?
This is such a contrarian idea that many people
quickly scream in disbelief the same way they spoke about horses or electricity.
Every new technology is built in order to scale for the future and the current
economic infrastructure simply doesn’t scale.
Here’s an example: Let’s say humanity
does become a multi-planetary species and we establish a sustainable colony on Mars.
What happens then? Will humanity take the gold bars and the stacks of cash,
throw them on a rocket and fly it to mars? Will we borrow the failing inflationary currencies of
earth or will we use a digitally native currency that’s unmessable-with.
This is why Bitcoin’s price has shot up so much in the past few years.
This is why you’re seeing all the big venture funds around the world
throw money at crypto projects.
Humanity as we know it is getting ready for
a digitally first economy that scales up to multi-planetary.
Even if it ends up bitcoin not being the store of value of choice,
the door to this technology has already been opened.
Blockchain based crypto currencies are here to stay.
For the first time in modern history, you can actually own
something that - other people can’t mess with.

As humans, we need a currency native to the internet. We need
it to scale at the speed humanity is moving in a borderless fashion.
You might not like it because you don’t understand how it works,
but most people don’t understand how electricity works yet reap its benefits
every single day. We’re still early in this new age of money, but it’s definitely coming.
Many countries will be left behind, because they simply don’t get it. North Korea is
such an example. On a population level, they are a century behind in terms of technological adoption.
The same happened to heavily religious countries that choose to deny women
rights or embrace access to education and a free internet.
These countries are missing the train and the
rewards will be split between those who got on board early.
If you’re watching this video or listening to this piece as a podcast,
take a moment and think about the wealth you want to leave for your children,
think about ownership and what it truly means to own something.
We're on the cusp of one of the biggest monetary changes humanity has ever witnessed,
so instead of holding cash, invest it in any store of value you see fit.
Be it land, real-estate, metals or this new version of money called bitcoin… but do it soon.
Every single year the paycheck you get is worth less and less until it will eventually
be worthless, because nobody wants to hold onto an ice cube that’s melting in a hot room,
where the government controls the thermostat.
So we bring the question to you… the alux community:
what store of value will you use to protect yourself?
We’re actually curious to know, so leave your 2 cents on this idea in the comments.
As for the Aluxers who always watch our videos until the very end,
of course there’s a bonus waiting.
We’ve been in a few very aerie meetings lately with some pretty well connected individuals.
With the stock market at an all-time-high right now,
everyone with big money is preparing for a massive correction coming this year in March.
We’ve already moved the majority of our wealth out of the stock market and into
real-estate, cash flowing businesses and crypto.
In the next 5 years the biggest countries in the world will move away from their
native currencies to a digital stable-coin version that’s on their own blockchains.
Everything you do with money right now will be in this new ecosystem.
This decade is the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.
Get ready Aluxers, as we have a “No Aluxer Left Behind”-Policy.
If bitcoin will be the preferred store of value, ethereum will be the gas that fuels
this new world. For those of you still watching, we believe ETH will flip bitcoin eventually,
so that’s your asymmetric risk we’ve talked about last week.
We can’t wait to see the world change under our eyes and we’re actively building this new future.
We want you to make a commitment that by 2030,
your entire life will be adjusted so you’re thriving in this new world.
By 2030, you’ll have enough store of value to outweigh anything they;d try to do to
the currency of your country. If you’re on a mission to win this transition by 2030,
please write 2030 in the comments.
We’re playing the long game aluxers, so we’ll leave you with this:
Time in the market, always beats timing the market!
We’re all gonna make it!
