Gramatik lays out his inspiration: “Our species is advancing. Shouldn’t our currency be doing the same?” he asks. “With this being the first piece of content being made since the [GRMTK] Token launch, I wanted to explain to my fans what Future Crypto is really about. ‘Future Crypto’ is dedicated to the importance of leaving Big Business and Big Banks out of curation and creation, cutting out the middleman. I really think Isaac Asimov said it best with ‘The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.’”

While the track is typically uncompromising and unconventional for Gramatik, the video’s intention to spark an interest in serious and thought-provoking subject matter instead of the usual hedonism of dance music is even more remarkable. Even looking at the comments on YouTube shows scores of people all over the world being turned on to blockchain and digital currency by the track and the video. It takes more than Whitepapers and regulatory screeds to achieve adoption!

The story for the “Future Crypto” video was conceived and constructed in collaboration with SingularDTV CEO Zach LeBeau, and the noir-influenced video was animated by production crew Supermassive. The video follows the development of the role of currency and exchange from the days of barter through to Roman coinage, Holy Wars, the industrial revolution, big banks, the corporate war machine and leading up to the launch of the GRMTK Token and the impending decentralized evolution.
