the idea that the fiat era is a short blip in human history (<100y) in-between two phases of sound money:
- one based roughly on gold (about 5000y)
- one based on bitcoin (5000 more years?)

Gives perspective:
1. expresses realisation that the monetary system in which we live is not normal, it’s just very weird and experimental
2. does not assume that humanity is about to self-destroy, which is for some reason what we all have in the back of our mind. it’s rare we project ourselves in the future in terms of thousands of years. refreshingly optimistic.
