The Dime💰: The New Financial System

If you’re like me, you were probably introduced to Bitcoin by some random person with a random handle on Reddit deep in the depths of the internet where you probably weren’t supposed to be. Some mysterious poster who basically described it as “The Hardest Money Ever Made.” You learned that it was trustless, that it was unhackable, that if you lost the seed phrase to your wallet it was gone forever, and last but not least, that it would change the world as you knew it. 

Everyone you probably told about it in the period of 2009 to 2020 looked at you like you were crazy. I remember working at JPMorgan and people laughing at me telling me that I was playing with “magic money.” But it still made sense, it made sense because US dollars made sense. It made sense because the previous forms of money made sense. It made sense because we believed in it. That was enough to keep learning more about what was going to happen. As more people adopted, more people believed and now everyone has no choice but to believe.

Today’s executive order, "Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology," marks a pivotal shift in the financial landscape. While it champions innovation, it also redefines the rules of the game, aiming for harmony between digital assets and traditional finance.
