In the beginning it was barter, then gold, later the banknote. History shows us an evolution in the way we trade and buy goods. It is likely that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be considered as the “salt” of antiquity, which was then replaced by gold, and therefore new diffusion systems or supports will be born for digital currencies that will further revolutionize the real financial market. Long live freedom, and long live an economy untied from the interests of the powerful where there is a real redistribution of financial resources and capital.

Au début, c’était le troc, puis l’or, plus tard le billet de banque. L’histoire nous montre une évolution dans la façon dont nous échangeons et achetons des biens. Il est probable que Bitcoin et d’autres crypto-monnaies puissent être considérés comme le « sel » de l’antiquité, qui a ensuite été remplacé par l’or et donc de nouveaux systèmes de diffusion ou supports seront nés pour les monnaies numériques qui révolutionneront davantage le marché financier réel.

Nous devons remettre la confiance, la responsabilité et la compétence au centre de nos vies privées et professionnelles.
