Money Is the Problem

The world is at a crossroads. For over a century, the fiat monetary system—rooted in central banking and unbacked paper currencies—has fueled cycles of booms, busts, inflation, and inequality. From the hyperinflations of Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe to the silent theft of savings through chronic devaluation in the U.S., Europe, and beyond, history is clear: fiat money is structurally broken. It enables reckless government spending, moral hazard on Wall Street, and the steady erosion of the middle class.

Most people feel something is wrong. Prices rise, wages stagnate, and debt mounts. Yet few understand the root cause: a monetary system designed to enrich the few at the expense of the many.

The Shift project exists to change that.

Here, I connect the dots between financial history, macroeconomic theory, and today’s unfolding crisis. My mission is simple but urgent: to expose the fatal flaws of fiat money, and to explain why Bitcoin is not just another investment—it is the foundation of a new, sound money economy.

Bitcoin is digital, decentralized, and immune to political manipulation. It represents the separation of money and state—the most important economic revolution since the end of the gold standard. But too few understand what’s at stake.

I write to empower readers with knowledge. I break down complex economic and financial ideas, making them accessible without dumbing them down. My goal is to help you see the big picture: how we got here, why the legacy system is unsustainable, and how Bitcoin offers a path to financial sovereignty and a more just society.

History won’t wait. The transition is happening now. Join me as we shine a light on the truth, challenge the status quo, and help build a future where money works for everyone—not just the powerful.
