1/ "The Chaos Tunnel": Humanity has entered a real-life version of RuneScape's treacherous dungeon network. Over the next 5-15 yrs, we'll face chaos, creation, & recalibration on a civilizational level. This journey will be exciting & challenging, depending on our preparedness. Image
2/ As we navigate this tumultuous period, numerous large themes with profound impacts are unfolding. The journey will be difficult for billions of people, but once we emerge from the Chaos Tunnel, we'll enter an abundance paradigm. This signifies a civilizational & HumanOS reset.
3/ In RuneScape, players brave the "Chaos Tunnels," confronting monsters and earning valuable rewards. Similarly, our real-world Chaos Tunnel presents both risks and opportunities. It's time to brace for the impact and adapt to thrive. Image
4/ Major themes playing out in the Chaos Tunnel include: Death of Human Gods, De-dollarization, End of American Hegemony, Bitcoin & Sound Money, Increased Transparency & Truth, Central Banking Crisis, Sovereign Defaults, AGI alignment, Human OS, and many more. So, Let's dive in👇🏼
5/ Death of Human Gods: No 'new' Human Gods will be created. Traditional institutions will crumble, and people will question authority. Decentralized alternatives will rise, challenging the status quo and ushering in a new era of power dynamics.
6/ Central Banking Crisis, US Debt, Sovereign Defaults: A perfect storm will upend traditional financial "rigged" systems, paving the way for alternative models that prioritize stability, resilience, and decentralization. tinyurl.com/yh6ts4wh
7/ HumanOS Redundancy: The HumanOS has been running on the same basic hardware for thousands of years. As technology advances, the human mind must evolve to keep pace. Cognitive enhancements and lifelong learning will be essential in the Chaos Tunnel. tinyurl.com/3p626dd8
8/ De-dollarization & End of American Hegemony: Nations moving away from the US dollar will weaken America's global dominance. The balance of power in the global monetary system is shifting.
9/ Multipolar World - New World Order: As power dynamics shift, we'll see the emergence of a multipolar world, where various nations and regions wield influence. This new world order will reshape diplomacy, trade, and cooperation, demanding fresh approaches and strategies. Image
10/ Inflation, Deflation, Hyperinflation: The world will witness accelerated consequences of monetary experiments conducted over decades. Expect massive wealth creation, destruction, and reallocation, as various economic realities unfold in parallel, challenging the status quo.
11/ Bitcoin & Sound Money: The 21st Century will provide a dramatic lesson on the necessity of "SOUND-MONEY" to protect individual wealth & enable decentralized finance, empowering millions worldwide. Bitcoin represents a paradigm shift as digital Money, Property, and Energy.
12/ Increased Transparency & Truth: As information becomes more accessible, the power of truth will expose corrupt systems and foster a new era of accountability. Decentralized networks will play a critical role in promoting transparency. Community Notes, Twitter files, are v1.
13/ Weakening Government Structure & Control: As power dynamics shift, traditional governments will lose their grip on societies. Decentralized governance and digital citizenship will emerge, disrupting the foundations of nation-states.
14/ The Retreat of Globalization: Dwindling trust in international institutions will prompt nations to focus more on self-reliance and local resilience. Anticipate a reassessment of global trade, politics, and collaboration as we adapt to this evolving landscape.
15/ AGI & Singularity: The development of #AGI will revolutionize industries, creating new opportunities and challenges. The 'Singularity' will redefine our understanding of what it means to be human and the role of technology in our lives.
16/ Wars, Power Shift, Changing World Order: As America's influence declines, global power dynamics will shift. History shows shifts come with conflict & wars. Prepare for conflicts & realignments as new powers rise & old ones fall.
17/ Global Protests & Social Unrest: The Chaos Tunnel will unleash widespread social upheaval. People will demand change, leading to protests and movements that challenge established structures and seek to redefine societal norms. Image
18/ Death of Democracy (Rise of Autocracy): Democratic institutions may erode, replaced by autocracies fueled by inequality, polarization, disinformation & social unrest. With public trust waning, protecting democratic principles is vital to preserving freedom & stability.
19/ The Rise of Sovereign Individuals: As traditional institutions falter, self-reliant individuals will thrive. Embracing digital citizenship, remote work, and decentralized networks, these pioneers will shape the future beyond the Chaos Tunnel.
20/ The Pain of the Chaos Tunnel for Humans: The transition won't be easy. Job displacement, social unrest, and economic turmoil will test our resilience. But through collaboration, innovation, and empathy, we'll forge a brighter future for all.
21/ The Age of Truth & Abundance: After the Chaos Tunnel, we'll enter a world marked by unprecedented transparency, cooperation, and resource abundance. This new age will challenge our notions of scarcity and competition.
22/ Hyper disruption, hyper-growth, and hyper creation: The exponential curves of technology will transform our reality in the next few years. Those who understand this are the ones who'll shape the future. Image
23/ As we journey through the Chaos Tunnel, it's crucial to adapt, learn, and collaborate. Though challenges lie ahead, our collective resilience and determination will lead us to a brighter, more abundant future. Together, we can shape the world beyond the Chaos Tunnel.
24/ The CivilizationOS is recalibrating: From scarcity to abundance, the road leads through 'the chaos tunnel.' The operating model of a post-economic society will shock and surprise many. Get ready for a paradigm shift.
25/ Ignorance brings chaos. Use this "Chaos Tunnel" theory as a framework to navigate what’s ahead..

Most of the time, our worldview is based on certain assumptions that we have taken for granted. And then, things change - gradually, and then suddenly.

Next 10 years in FinTech.

The Fintech tsunami is happening, and there is no way back.

Long thread 🧵👇🏼
1) In 2030, the largest “bank” in the world will not-be-a-bank.🏦 Think- Square, Stripe, Affirm, AntFin, PayPal, etc. Many large asset categories are still untouched by Fintechs, and once that starts to happen, several new ~$100BN - $500BN 💰 companies will be created.
2) Major economies will have low or no-Cash 💵; primarily due to ‘digitization-of everything’, and CBDC. Major central banks will transition to a digital currency paradigm, where national currencies will compete on features (like software does) as well as economics.

A decade ends. A new decade begins.

Some learnings and insights at the intersection of Life, Health, and Wealth.

#Thread 🧵 👇🏼

1) “Be Water, My Friend.”

2) Success stories start with failure.
3) Consistency creates luck. *Designing life for luck* is Art. Great Success = Some Talent + A Lot Of Luck*. Let the natural order of things emerge. Understand the language of the Universe. Align with it. Self Discipline carries you further than luck.
4) Wealth is not about money, but about options. Getting wealthier is a choice. Freedom is the biggest wealth. Everything else is just a means to get that freedom. Changing your belief system and expanding your vision takes courage.

1/n: In the new decade, the fin-services sector will look beyond the current open banking ‘phase’ and towards a future of fintech enabled marketplaces and complete financial automation, where the traditional banking model is turned on its head and requires a dramatic rethink,
2/n: emphasizing:
1) Experience over Products;
2) Data over Assets;
3) Partnering over the build or buy;
4) Shared access over ownership.
3/n: FinTechs are now increasingly global, and threatening traditional banks by ushering in product-stack changes- from ‘un-bundling to re-bundling’, from ‘mono-line to multi-line’.

Technology is reshaping the operating-model of financial institutions fundamentally. Some thoughts:

1/ Banking & credit are the lifeblood of capitalism, and Credit and Debt play a big role in driving demand and economic growth.
2/ The line between deposits and lending is becoming blurred as cash-flow is delivered “as a service”. Non-traditional data makes it possible to create new products and serve new customer categories and markets.
3/ Deposit accounts are no longer the locus of control for customers as the center of the retail customer experience shifts to financial-management platforms, reducing interaction points between large banks and customers.

Some learnings at the intersection of banking, credit, & tech.

1) Banking & credit are the lifeblood of capitalism.

2) The most conservative lender is only one severe credit cycle away from failure.

3) Banks fail, Sovereigns default. Hundreds of banks fail every 10+ years.
4) Be wary of banks that obsess overgrowth. Growth at an exceptional rate is a red flag in banking.

5) Government (Fiat) money ≠ Sound money.

6) Human civilization flourishes in times and places where sound money is widely adopted.

7) Bitcoin is a monetary system.
8) Lending is simple but it’s not easy – it’s a business.

9) Credit is older than money & Fintech.

10) The only way banks get in trouble is because of their bad loans.

11) The only good loan is the one that gets paid back.
