Beyond Debt: Embracing Decentralization in Crisis Management

As America's debt crisis looms large, the debate intensifies over the viability of centralized financial systems. Explore how decentralization could offer a sustainable solution to combat economic subjectivity and ensure long-term stability.

It is not surprising that problems of such magnitude have emerged, but rather that they have been overlooked for so long. When someone tried to say that they consider a growing debt as a threat, serious financiers patted him on the back and explained that he was wrong.

There was a paradigm of the invulnerability of the American economy. It was believed that it is so global that it could absorb any debt. And indeed, such a strategy worked, however, not because of economics, but because of politics. Investments in US debt were considered safe, given the undeniable power of the borrowing country.

All of this worked perfectly until America’s debt became so high that its repayment prospects disappeared. At the same time, rival countries have called American credibility into question.

As a result, the debt became extremely toxic.

In fact, the debt problem is not the root cause of the crisis. Such a crisis lies at the very foundation of our centralized financial system. If there is a technical and legal possibility to close financial problems with emissions, this possibility will sooner or later be realized. The emission decision is made subjectively by a very small group of individuals, and always in the interest of elites.

The solution is one name decentralization of business and social management. There are no other options to combat subjectivism - only technology. In all other scenarios, the crisis will become permanent.
