For me, economics is about the world around us; it’s current; it’s always changing; it’s always interesting. It’s the subject that allows you study Tesco’s and ASDA’s methods of competition one day, and learn about the environment and pollution permits the next. It’s about the modern world; it’s about how we behave, how businesses behave and how the government behaves.

Take it slow. Don’t ask her out the first time you meet a beautiful girl. Doing this can make her feel pressured and nervous; she’ll be more likely to turn you down.It can also make you feel super nervous to just be meeting her for the first time and ask her out all out once.

Bitcoin sits in a similar predicament. It comes from the internet, a place of both tremendous civilization and harmful vice. It’s associated with tall tales of drug lords and strange stories of hitmen-for-hire. The merchants peddling it are often ‘foreigners’ -- geeks and nerds who speak with strange words like ‘decentralization, hashpower, nodes, DDoS, and HODL.’ And then they try to convince you to accept this ‘magic internet money’ created by a king -- Satoshi Nakamoto -- who you’ve never seen. No wonder you’re skeptical.

Find some land that is not currently claimed by another nation or restricted by treaty (Antarctica).  I am not sure that there is any unclaimed land on earth so good luck.

I think the technology to make this possible will come around in our lifetimes. To see how this might happen I’m going to take what’s happened to the music industry as an example. Capitalism is only relevant under conditions of scarcity. When you can produce an abundance of anything using a bare minimum of resources, I would argue that it becomes immoral under this system because it will create a lower class that loses out on necessities when there is far more than enough to go around.
