If you study history, you will see that major changes have always been accompanied by major crises. And to be honest, what we are witnessing now is difficult to call a global crisis. It is more of a local one, especially in the regions where there are currently intense military conflicts. You could say that COVID affected the entire planet, but I feel like it was just a rehearsal for a much bigger global crisis that lies ahead.
A much bigger global crisis? You mean like Fiat/central banks collapsing in their entirety? That might happen, although the odds are very slim. If it does happen, money would finally break free from the State (separation of money and State). The global economy would become completely decentralized.
Some say this is an "utopian dream" brought by crypto enthusiasts. And I'm afraid they're right. It's hard to believe governments are going to give up control of the economy anytime soon. I'd expect a things to ease for a while, followed by an intense period of conflict. Who knows what the future will bring?
Now that Iran has entered the story, it doesn't seem like things will calm down just like that. Inwestour nicely said that Covid was just a rehearsal for something bigger... maybe that's not far from the truth, but what can that "bigger" be?
No one knows what tomorrow brings, but we must be aware of the various powerful groups that have their own long-term plans... These are the players who move the pieces on the board. They have a much better perspective on things and much more information on which they can better predict certain events, and influence them...
I guess we get to what you wrote, Abiky, that it will be difficult for governments to give up control... That's why they will continue to create crises to justify even more control, even less freedom... and they will always have some justification for everything they do.
