Why are we in this hand basket? And why is it getting hotter?

This time is different.
It is the apocalypse!
Meaning the revealing.

Now is the destruction of all the systems that are broken
and the building of all the systems that will be for the betterment of humans and humanity.

Fiat will be replaced by Bitcoin, and bitcoin will be replaced by real money
(there are concepts of it floating around the interwebz)

Never before in history has the power been moved to the people.
And, ALL the power will be moved to the people.
