The Global Economic Crisis - Barriers to Entry

  The youtube video on this post breifly explains how we could be on the brink of a global economic meltdown. (note:  my dad says people have been saying this his entire life, and he's 65)

  Imagine tomorrow, you wake up and money doesn't exist anymore because of government defaults.

You and I are more than willing to work, but the people we work for have to way to pay us.

A factory is more than willing to order new machinery, but has no way to pay for it.

Historically gold and silver would act as a medium of exchange, but gold/silver are not easiliy divided into smaller units, and you can't order machinery from China because you would have to physically ship the precious metals there.


Here is where bitcoin *could* save the day, as a world backup currency.

Bitcoin is a secure, digital, online means of exchange, with low barriers to entry.

In a post fiat world, I would wake up and broadcast my QR code to anybody that pays me.   how do you get a QR code to accept bitcoin?

Its simple.... you print a piece of paper.

So *potentially* *if* fiat money were to be non-existent anymore because of a global collapse, people would go online, print a piece of paper, and continue to offer goods and services over a secure network.

To begin to accept bitcoin for your goods and service, go to bitaddress.com
