It is the first post regarding my new quest to write a series of books on the Decentralized Revolution and how it will shape the future world in every area of humanity.
This series of books tackle the implications of the leading technologies that are changing the way we live. Are we heading to a new medieval age? a technological one? Who will own the money creation in the future? Governments, Banks, Tech companies, or communities? Where would we live if working attached to a major organization is unnecessary?
Will the energy revolution bring decentralization of power o another Facebook-like company owning our energy?
The first volume of the book tackles the decentralized revolution in banking and how it will shape, in my opinion, the future world in every area of humanity.
This book is divided into 2 parts. Before discussing the Decentralized Revolution, I first review the centralized revolution and how it shaped the past three centuries.
At this point, everyone should be familiarized with the economies of scale, the existence of central banks, national utility grids, industrialized food, internet but not a lot of people know how this centralized system got in place, to begin with.
Chapter 1 goes over the last 350 years where the centralized revolution took place in Europe on the finance and ultimately over the entire world. This concept is relevant to understanding the magnitude of the Decentralized Revolution we are witnessing and how to be ended up on the right side of this global change.
The second part of this book tackles the decentralized revolution in finances. Why are small countries adopting Bitcoin as local currency, and how is this new technology disrupting banking and traditional finances?

I’m eager to hear your comments about it, good and bad.
