When the Internet was invented, people climbed another stage of civilization. The first step of type-1 civilization is global computer networking. Through this, a revolution took place in the system of communication and exchange of information.
Now in the case of the economy, The only currency that is performed its activity by using computing power is Bitcoin (pioneer).
The most widely discussed and attention-grabbing system in the economy right now is the blockchain system aka Bitcoin. Its pervasiveness is from the very marginal stage to the government quarters. It has revolutionized the way money is exchanged. Only Bitcoin is eligible to be recognized as a global currency. When it will be recognized as a worldly currency, it would be considered as the currency of a type-1 civilization.
Bitcoin is decentralization. Decentralization means not controlled by a central authority. I am not sure how Bitcoin plays out in a type-1 civilization where man has total control over its resources and also total control over the planet's mechanisms. I don't think that a type-1 civilization is decentralized. Maybe I am wrong but Bitcoin should not be controlled or governed by any authority. What would be the role of Bitcoin when there is one central power that governs all over the earth? That is the only possible way a type-1 civilization will survive, by becoming the sole authority over the whole planet.
