What is the future of money?

The future of money is digital, programmable, and borderless. I predict blockchain, stablecoins, and digital payments rewire how value moves through the global economy. Cash and 3-day cross-border transfers give way to instant, programmable value, and the players are already in position: Visa and Mastercard settle in stablecoins, BlackRock sells Bitcoin in an ETF, and the ECB targets 2029 for the digital euro. I made the origin forecast on stage in 2008: the greedy masses go for crypto, the smart pick Bitcoin, the smartest back blockchain itself. I bought Bitcoin in March 2011 and cashed out in July 2025. The real question is no longer whether money goes digital. It is who writes the rules when it does. Watch the rule-writers, not the price charts. Digital money you do not control is a leash, not freedom.
