Does the outcome of the election make you want to pack up and move? Instead of physically relocating, vote with your wallet by moving some of your wealth out of the US (or any other national) economy and into the real global economy.

The “global economy” is not free trade agreements among countries, or the fact that businesses in one country can do business with other countries. The global economy is not the spread of the US, British, or Chinese financial systems internationally. What we currently call a global economy is multiple outdated national financial systems stitched haphazardly together with Band-Aids, duct tape, and bits of thread.

How did the US housing market crash cause an international recession? I think it’s because our current idea of a “global economy” is actually a Frankenstein’s monster of separate national economies. The US housing market caused an international crisis not because of an inherent problem with the actions of the people of the world (a farmer in Malaysia wasn’t the problem, although they may have been a victim of the fallout), but because most governments decided to go all in on this global financial monster, and thus, when Frankenstein’s rotten pinky toe fell off, all of his poorly stitched appendages unraveled along with it.

This might be an impossible knot to untangle within the current structure of global finance. Luckily, the internet birthed a solution right at the depths of the crisis — the first ever global currency and immutable global ledger— Bitcoin and the Blockchain.

Bitcoin is still tiny, but it is already unstoppable. It’s current market cap is similar to the size of the 2014 California almond industry — it’s worth peanuts right now. It is a drop of water in the ocean of the world’s financial system, but it is growing at a tremendous rate. Bitcoin is only made possible by the internet, and it is not controlled by national governments. It is controlled by each person who participates in it, regardless of where they are located.

It is a borderless, un-censorable, currency and decentralized network that connects everyone who participates in it to the real “global economy.” You can try to regulate the on/off ramps to and from the new global economy, but once you’re onboard, you are free to do as you please with your wealth outside the control of any single government. A farmer in Malaysia who owns bitcoins is protected against the American bankers on Wall Street when Wall Street doubles down on absurd risky investments. In fact, if she is feeling generous, our Malaysian farmer friend can choose to bail out the Wall Street bankers by instantly sending any amount of Bitcoin from her hypothetically Wi-Fi enabled Malaysian farmhouse to the banks’ Bitcoin wallets.

Bitcoin usage does not typically pose a fire hazard

With Bitcoin, you can skip banks, Western Union, ATMs, Wire transfer fees, checking account fees, overdraft fees, processing fees, Fee fees, hyperinflation, and capital controls. Right now, you can choose to stop loaning your constantly inflating national currency at a 0.01% interest rate to Wells Fargo for a checking account because your phone can be your checking account.

Get out of the 20th century’s version of the global economy Frankenstein and join up with a truly untethered open global economy.
