00:00:08:11 – 00:00:10:15
For nearly a century, the U.S.
00:00:10:15 – 00:00:15:02
dollar has been the foundation
of the global financial system.
00:00:15:13 – 00:00:18:22
Not just a currency,
but really the infrastructure
00:00:19:07 – 00:00:22:07
behind monetary commerce itself
00:00:22:14 – 00:00:25:11
international trade, reserve banking,
00:00:25:11 – 00:00:28:10
commodity markets, global finance,
00:00:28:10 – 00:00:32:04
all of it was built around the assumption
that the dollar
00:00:32:06 – 00:00:37:10
would remain the center of the world
economy indefinitely.
00:00:37:22 – 00:00:41:00
But today,
that assumption is starting to shift.
00:00:41:20 – 00:00:45:15
Now, that does not mean
the dollar is collapsing,
00:00:46:15 – 00:00:49:02
and it does not mean the United States
00:00:49:02 – 00:00:53:00
suddenly is losing its position
as a global power.
00:00:53:04 – 00:00:54:03
Not at all.
00:00:54:03 – 00:00:57:00
What it does mean is that the architecture
00:00:57:00 – 00:01:00:00
of global finance is evolving.
00:01:00:05 – 00:01:03:12
Economic influence
is becoming more distributed,
00:01:04:07 – 00:01:07:07
financial systems are becoming more
digital,
00:01:07:20 – 00:01:10:09
and power itself is no longer
00:01:10:09 – 00:01:13:09
measured only by military strength.
00:01:13:12 – 00:01:17:02
Today, power also comes from technology,
00:01:17:12 – 00:01:22:04
infrastructure, supply
chains, artificial intelligence of course
00:01:22:07 – 00:01:25:17
manufacturing and financial systems
themselves.
00:01:26:11 – 00:01:30:06
China is probably the clearest example
of what I’m talking about.
00:01:30:18 – 00:01:34:23
China’s rise has not primarily
come through military
00:01:34:23 – 00:01:37:03
confrontation, not at all.
00:01:37:03 – 00:01:40:03
In recent years at least,
it has come through
00:01:40:03 – 00:01:45:06
manufacturing dominance, infrastructure
investment, supply chain control,
00:01:45:08 – 00:01:49:13
technology expansion and long term
economic positioning.
00:01:50:04 – 00:01:53:20
Recently, we have been reminded
of the historical tendency
00:01:53:23 – 00:01:58:03
for conflict between rising powers
and established powers.
00:01:58:09 – 00:02:01:14
But the important
part of that conversation is not just
00:02:01:14 – 00:02:04:14
geopolitical tension or transition.
00:02:04:21 – 00:02:08:10
It’s the recognition that economic systems
themselves
00:02:08:13 – 00:02:12:09
are becoming
the real instruments of global influence.
00:02:12:20 – 00:02:15:20
And we’re seeing a similar shift
in the Middle East.
00:02:15:21 – 00:02:19:08
More and more analysts
believe Iran’s leverage
00:02:19:12 – 00:02:24:04
is not necessarily about
winning a traditional war militarily.
00:02:24:13 – 00:02:29:13
It’s about economic disruption, energy
markets, shipping routes,
00:02:29:18 – 00:02:33:07
inflationary pressure,
supply chain instability.
00:02:33:15 – 00:02:37:06
In other words,
the battlefield itself is changing.
00:02:37:06 – 00:02:39:09
It’s becoming economic.
00:02:39:09 – 00:02:42:13
And all of this matters
because reserve currencies
00:02:42:21 – 00:02:47:02
ultimately depend on one thing confidence.
00:02:47:15 – 00:02:50:21
Confidence in institutions, confidence
00:02:50:21 – 00:02:55:04
in governance, confidence and long term
purchasing power.
00:02:55:07 – 00:03:00:12
Confidence that the system itself
will remain stable and trusted.
00:03:01:04 – 00:03:04:05
When that confidence starts
fragmenting globally,
00:03:04:16 – 00:03:07:16
diversification accelerates naturally.
00:03:08:06 – 00:03:10:14
And I believe that’s one reason
00:03:10:14 – 00:03:15:13
interest in blockchain infrastructure,
decentralized finance, digital wallets
00:03:15:18 – 00:03:20:09
and borderless payment systems continues
growing around the world.
00:03:20:18 – 00:03:26:10
It’s no dummy, not simply because of hype,
but because the world itself
00:03:26:16 – 00:03:31:17
is becoming more digital, more global
and more inter connected.
00:03:32:09 – 00:03:35:09
Younger generations already live this way.
00:03:35:20 – 00:03:39:15
They work remotely,
they transact globally,
00:03:40:01 – 00:03:45:10
they move between digital ecosystems
naturally to them.
00:03:45:19 – 00:03:50:02
Digital
finance systems often feel more intuitive
00:03:50:11 – 00:03:54:15
than institutions originally designed
for the industrial age.
00:03:55:04 – 00:03:58:12
Now within that broader
transition, projects connected
00:03:58:12 – 00:04:02:03
to decentralized finance
obviously attract attention.
00:04:02:17 – 00:04:05:16
But I think the more serious conversation
00:04:05:16 – 00:04:09:10
is not about speculation, it’s
about infrastructure.
00:04:10:04 – 00:04:14:20
Historically, the systems that survive
technological transformation
00:04:15:03 – 00:04:17:22
are rarely the loudest systems.
00:04:17:22 – 00:04:22:09
They’re the systems that build durable
infrastructure capable
00:04:22:13 – 00:04:27:00
of supporting real participation
and real world utility.
00:04:27:16 – 00:04:30:08
And that distinction matters when we talk
00:04:30:08 – 00:04:35:09
about cause division and cause coin,
because the long term significance
00:04:35:15 – 00:04:40:06
of any digital financial ecosystem
is probably not the token itself.
00:04:40:23 – 00:04:43:22
It’s the infrastructure surrounding it.
00:04:43:22 – 00:04:46:16
That’s where cars, wallets and cars card
00:04:46:16 – 00:04:49:14
become important to this conversation.
00:04:49:14 – 00:04:54:20
Cause wallet is designed to function
as a digital financial gateway
00:04:55:00 – 00:04:58:04
for an increasingly borderless economy.
00:04:58:20 – 00:05:03:15
Cause card
X extends that into everyday commerce
00:05:03:20 – 00:05:09:07
while conducting transactions
directly to the philosophy behind causes
00:05:09:22 – 00:05:13:22
so the larger vision is not simply
creating another cryptocurrency.
00:05:14:13 – 00:05:17:13
The larger vision is creating
infrastructure
00:05:17:22 – 00:05:22:12
Payment systems, digital wallets,
transactional ecosystems.
00:05:22:17 – 00:05:24:20
Global participation tools.
00:05:24:20 – 00:05:29:05
Financial systems
capable of integrating both commerce
00:05:29:10 – 00:05:32:10
and measurable social impact.
00:05:32:21 – 00:05:35:12
Now, whether any particular platform
succeeds
00:05:35:12 – 00:05:38:09
long term remains uncertain.
00:05:38:09 – 00:05:41:09
That’s true with any emerging technology,
00:05:41:12 – 00:05:45:02
but historically, infrastructure creates
durability,
00:05:45:13 – 00:05:48:06
utility creates relevance,
00:05:48:06 – 00:05:53:07
and systems that solve real world problems
tend to outlast systems
00:05:53:12 – 00:05:56:12
built purely around speculation.
00:05:57:02 – 00:06:00:02
What makes Cost Coin
philosophically different
00:06:00:15 – 00:06:04:02
is its connection to cosmism itself.
00:06:04:17 – 00:06:06:03
To learn more, go to causes.
00:06:06:03 – 00:06:10:20
I’m dot com cause with an e is an ism.com
00:06:11:12 – 00:06:15:11
cause ism asks a larger question
can financial systems
00:06:15:11 – 00:06:18:20
evolve beyond purely
transactional economics?
00:06:19:05 – 00:06:22:16
Can participation itself create
both economic value
00:06:22:19 – 00:06:27:02
and measurable humanitarian impact
at the same time?
00:06:27:19 – 00:06:30:19
Instead of separating commerce
and giving into
00:06:30:19 – 00:06:35:15
completely different worlds, can
they actually become integrated, coexist?
00:06:36:04 – 00:06:38:15
Because ultimately,
I think this conversation is
00:06:38:15 – 00:06:41:15
about something much bigger
than cryptocurrency.
00:06:41:15 – 00:06:45:16
It’s really
about the future structure of trust.
00:06:46:17 – 00:06:47:19
The world appears
00:06:47:19 – 00:06:50:19
to be moving
toward a financial environment
00:06:50:19 – 00:06:55:10
that is increasingly digital,
increasingly interconnected,
00:06:55:20 – 00:07:02:00
and less dependent on singular
centralized systems such as the US dollar.
00:07:02:19 – 00:07:06:14
whether that transition happens
gradually or accelerates
00:07:06:14 – 00:07:09:23
through geopolitical instability
remains unclear,
00:07:10:15 – 00:07:14:03
but the direction itself
is becoming harder to ignore.
00:07:15:01 – 00:07:18:00
And in the end, the most important shift
00:07:18:00 – 00:07:21:00
may not simply be
the weakening of the dollar.
00:07:21:14 – 00:07:27:03
It may be the emergence of a world
where financial systems compete
00:07:27:03 – 00:07:30:03
not only on efficiency and scale,
00:07:30:18 – 00:07:34:01
but on transparency, accessibility,
00:07:35:04 – 00:07:38:04
participation, resilience
00:07:38:09 – 00:07:41:09
and purpose.

00:36:45:22 – 00:36:46:10
Well, digital
00:36:46:10 – 00:36:51:08
infrastructure is going to be built
on systems that people trust,
00:36:52:01 – 00:36:55:13
and it’s, it’s technology and security
00:36:55:15 – 00:36:58:15
that people trust and.
00:36:59:10 – 00:37:02:17
you know, technology
will continue to to, to.
00:37:05:02 – 00:37:08:00
Develop and expand.
00:37:08:00 – 00:37:10:19
The real key is, is the trust.
00:37:10:19 – 00:37:13:19
And if you can combine a
00:37:14:02 – 00:37:17:21
the latest and greatest technology with
00:37:19:02 – 00:37:23:02
a new ideology or a philosophy, economic
philosophy that can change the world
00:37:24:07 – 00:37:25:06
you have, and
00:37:25:06 – 00:37:29:00
then something
that can can compete with Bitcoin.
00:37:29:15 – 00:37:32:04
I know there are Bitcoin enthusiasts,
00:37:32:04 – 00:37:36:13
that disciples of Bitcoin that would,
00:37:38:01 – 00:37:41:02
that would challenge me on this, that
00:37:42:04 – 00:37:44:15
I’m here to tell you
that when you can combine
00:37:44:15 – 00:37:47:15
the latest technology
00:37:47:20 – 00:37:50:20
with the new.
00:37:52:01 – 00:37:55:17
Philosophy and ideology, economic
00:37:56:22 – 00:37:59:22
philosophy that can change the world.
00:38:01:17 – 00:38:03:19
You’ve got potentially the leading
00:38:03:19 – 00:38:07:01
currency in the world,
digital currency in the world.
00:38:07:10 – 00:38:10:05
And by the way, it’s all going digital.
00:38:10:05 – 00:38:11:22
It’s all digital.
00:38:11:22 – 00:38:14:06
It’s just it’s, the,
00:38:14:06 – 00:38:17:13
the national currencies
are lagging behind, but it’s all digital.
00:38:18:08 – 00:38:21:08
It’s all been it’s already
been created in,
00:38:22:12 – 00:38:24:19
know, in the boardrooms and in the,
00:38:24:19 – 00:38:28:16
and in the minds
00:38:28:16 – 00:38:31:16
of the technologists and the,
00:38:31:21 – 00:38:36:11
and the technology is already being,
being executed upon.
00:38:37:01 – 00:38:38:19
It’s already been developed.
00:38:38:19 – 00:38:41:00
They’re just slow in the execution.
00:39:49:22 – 00:39:52:12
Where everything’s becoming digital.
00:39:52:12 – 00:39:55:17
When,
When philosophers say that you will.
00:39:57:04 – 00:40:00:02
You will own nothing and be happy.
00:40:00:02 – 00:40:03:02
Well, does not describe us today.
00:40:03:09 – 00:40:06:03
If, if you live in a home,
00:40:06:03 – 00:40:08:15
most people don’t own their own home.
00:40:08:15 – 00:40:10:12
They have a mortgage.
00:40:10:12 – 00:40:14:00
And the largest bankers in the world
own their home.
00:40:14:20 – 00:40:18:16
On the home that you dwell in,
if you’re part of the masses
00:40:20:08 – 00:40:23:08
and people are still relatively happy,
00:40:23:23 – 00:40:29:05
even though the, the root meaning of
the word mortgages, death pledge,
00:40:29:05 – 00:40:34:00
we make a a death pledge for 30 years,
and then we refinance every seven years.
00:40:34:00 – 00:40:37:16
And and the death pledge continues
until the day,
00:40:38:23 – 00:40:41:23
that our family receives
our death certificate.
00:40:42:15 – 00:40:44:23
So we never own our home.
00:40:44:23 – 00:40:47:22
But I think what’s, when the
00:40:47:22 – 00:40:50:18
when people, when it’s been said that
00:40:50:18 – 00:40:53:18
you will own nothing and be happy,
00:40:53:18 – 00:40:56:18
everything is going digital and,
00:40:57:07 – 00:41:00:21
the world that existed, before,
it’s changing rapidly.
00:41:01:09 – 00:41:05:02
And the currency,
the Ben Franklin’s, the $100 bills
00:41:05:02 – 00:41:08:04
that may be in your wallet today,
that you’re very endeared to.
00:41:08:18 – 00:41:10:10
They will go away.
00:41:10:10 – 00:41:14:06
You may want to keep one to,
to put in your album
00:41:14:06 – 00:41:17:10
so you can show your great
show it to your great grandchildren
00:41:18:02 – 00:41:21:02
that everything is changing rapidly
and it’s going digital.
00:41:21:10 – 00:41:25:07
And of course, there are some tangibles
00:41:25:07 – 00:41:29:22
that you can’t do away with,
such as food and water and, but the,
00:41:31:02 – 00:41:32:01
but the economy is
00:41:32:01 – 00:41:35:01
rapidly changing, and the,
00:41:36:04 – 00:41:41:02
the economical and, institutional
00:41:41:14 – 00:41:45:19
the banking environment
is rapidly changing.
00:41:46:08 – 00:41:49:03
And if it changes the way
00:41:49:03 – 00:41:52:03
that it should,
it will empower individuals
00:41:52:06 – 00:41:55:11
and they’ll be happier economically
because of it.
00:41:56:09 – 00:41:57:10
It will serve the people.
00:41:57:10 – 00:42:00:10
It will it will empower the individual
00:42:00:15 – 00:42:03:04
when they can choose their currency
that they trust.
00:42:03:04 – 00:42:06:04
For example.
00:42:16:00 – 00:42:17:21
Some of these things
might be a little controversial,
00:42:17:21 – 00:42:21:20
and I’ve never read anyone asking these
questions, but I’ll I’ll let you judge.
00:42:21:20 – 00:42:24:20
What’s, worth, posting.
00:42:32:15 – 00:42:32:22
Yeah.
