"If each of us stopped for a few minutes to reflect about our relationship with money in our daily lives, thinking of money itself as a means to cutting our cost of living would hardly cross anyone’s mind. Partly because we’ve been taught to think of shenanigans like inflation as pretty much a given, and partly because we live in a world riddled with rent-seeking middlemen whom, whenever there’s a payment to be made, will come out of the woodwork to try to get their cut.
But what if money could actually be engineered in such a way that it would cut our living costs by letting us bypass debasement, fees, and even borders? What if I told you this form of money already exists and has been in circulation for a few years?"
