My interpretation of TIME TIMEPieces project theme ‘Building A Better Future’ is expressed through a little girl character where she looks toward a future with the option to begin her adventure with either Fiat Money or Crypto.
This little girl is from Borneo, and the mountain in the background is Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Borneo. Lush forests surround the mountain, and the land is rich and healthy. The banknote in the centre reflects a changing perception of currencies and their role in our time. This banknote is issued by Memebank, a parody central bank that pokes fun at fiat currencies with crypto meme culture. Hidden in this banknote are “easter eggs” such as morse codes, a very pixelated “decentralised” text, and even smaller pixelated icons.
This NFT represents my aspiration and hope for a future where little girls are empowered to choose their adventures and determine their own choices - a world that celebrates nature, technology, art and the human race (little icons within the banknote representing these four elements through icons of a rocket, a cat, a kite and a human). This piece is also a special tribute to little girls from Borneo and Southeast Asia. 💚

fiat money 在 Facebook 的最佳貼文
[No X in Nixon]拿,上次都講,50年前嘅8月15日,人類史上一件大事。同尼克遜有關。
TLDR:50年前今日,金本位制死亡,美金從此任印。金融成為顯學,ibanker身大升,全世界變得金融化。後來咩列根戴卓爾佛利民Big Bang楊懷康李兆富(?)之後後人乘涼。樓價股價金價從此大升,亦都造成埋廣場協定日圓升值(然後爆煲),甚至亞洲金融風暴同墨西哥阿根廷爆煲。你話影響深唔深遠?但,成件事前因後果係點?點解美金任印反而加強美元地位?呢啲根本係尼克遜最初都唔會料到嘅。Patreon會細講

==============
1. 上次講,話佢燒咗個森林,促成快意汽車誕生。冇老點你,你睇呢張圖真係講Happy 50th fiat,FIAT仲唔係快意汽車?
2. 爛gag玩完,應該有啲常識嘅(不過我發現好多人係冇嘅,除咗我啲讀者),都知道,fiat呢度唔係指快意汽車,FIAT係簡寫,Factory Italy Automobile Torino(冇錯,祖雲達斯!)。好多讀者都知,呢度嘅fait 係拉丁文,let it be done,中文即係「我話係就係」。係指fiat money,法幣,「我話值錢就值錢」,的確係咁上下。
3. 剛剛就係「法幣」誕生50年,你想像唔到,其實只係咁短歷史。正如你想像唔到,單車都只係200年歷史左右,同汽車唔爭好多。所以多啲同啲老嘢傾計,我都係同你老嘢傾計先知未有法幣前嘅世界係點的。冇錯可以睇書,但唔同嘅
4. 而尼克遜燒咗嘅森林,亦都唔少人知。Bretton Woods.尼克森 50年前基本上廢除咗Bretton Woods 體系,即係乜?即係金本位制,Gold Standard.之後嘅事?雖然唔係100%準確,但你大約可以理解為,從此江湖多事,美金(仲有馬克英鎊日圓法郎)任印。
5. 正如上篇文講,呢個亦都開始咗一個全新嘅年代。高度金融化嘅年代—你問啲老嘢就知,50年前做銀行做ibanker(50前當然有ibank),十分腌悶,幫鐵路發下債架咋。嗰時做石油做鋼鐵先係王道。標準石油,卡內基。但打後50年,金融變咗顯學。人人發夢做ibanker,正如而家個個想做KOL想做start up
6. 仲有,呢個決定亦都鞏固咗Pax Americana—美國帶頭唔玩呢個金本位,邊個有得出聲?打後當然係de facto嘅美元本位,把口最反美嘅南美佬中東佬大陸佬,個個都拎美金。
7. 證據?大把。你睇美國GDP佔全球已經不停跌,但美元佔儲備,或者美股佔全球,都係穩如泰山。
8. 仲有?你可以睇下,1971年之後嘅美股,回報好過1971年之前好多—呢個係相當違反定律嘅。正路你以為經濟開始成熟,開始大,會放慢。但偏偏美股唔係。
9. 尼克遜在美國,都算係聲名幾狼藉。話晒係唯一一個任內辭職嘅總統(但留意,佢從冇畀人彈劾過)。事後睇,呢單脫離金本位制,真係佢任內得意之作,打下之後50年嘅基礎
10. 但當然歷史冇如果,本人基本上肯定,佢只係撞棍,完全唔知道後來嘅翻天覆地變化。事實上,最初呢個「廢除金本位」只係暫時性質,佢宣佈美金停止兌黃金,因為不能畀人覺得佢只係靠嚇。原本係想之後回復返個森林嘅。但正如森林大火一樣,一發不可收拾,後來嘅發展,都不在佢預計之中。
11. 呢度都只係皮毛,introduction.你知而家啲人幾咁懶幾咁乜都要即食,懶人包,最好10秒講完,因為A所以B然後C。咁你咪越嚟越笨咯。尼克遜呢個決定,真係改變咗世界,但好少人會提。因為太深,又好難形象化。例如你見阿甘正傳之類(呢排NetFlix重睇),只會講越戰,登月,尼克遜訪華,甚至有啲會講珍珠港,美蘇冷戰,古巴導彈危機。好多人心中呢啲先係定義美國嘅事,但好人會諗到金本位。
12. 金本位制點樣成立,然後崩潰,然後帶嚟嘅影響,我會在Patreon開篇新文講。可能係下星期日(今日講咗8號仔 VIUTV先),可能係周中。當然只會畀Patreon讀者,你可以訂定,或者到我出咗都會再tease一次嘅。
13. 今次就唔使好似巴塞文咁夠人睇我先寫。首先一定夠人,二來Patreon讀者有付費嘛。即係你話如果寫篇巴塞文出嚟,又用咗寫間又冇金錢得益都算,但如果仲要冇人睇甚至畀人屌,就自取其辱啦。幸好篇文反應都好好,多謝大家。
14. Stay Tuned。
15. 話時話,1899人了,快手整埋上1900,月尾就到2000吧。咁我就可以……挑戰3000人咯。唔係點?
16. 順手我想最後講多句,你學校教嘅,真係食屎的。我已經係讀港大同Warwick,都係咁同你講。其他雞校更加係得啖笑,居然仲可以生存?我識嘅絶大多數嘢,一係在馮平山(再講一次,馮平山唔係一座山,係一個人)睇書,一係後來做嘢學,更加多係近十幾年睇鬼媒同埋自己在market學嘅。我寫幾篇文,好撚過你讀個Finance Degree。真喎,佢點教你金本位制?真係食撚屎的。廢都算,仲要悶嘛。
17. 我幾時都話,我啲文,最好就幫你搵到錢,be it 你投資賺到,搵工有用,或者有人幫你應付啲工作問題你可以拆掂上司同客然後專心踩地雷,乜都好。幫唔到你搵錢嘅,至少都令你識多啲嘢。就算幫唔到你識多啲嘢(其實冇乜可能),你至少都得啖笑嘛。
18. 又幫唔到人搵錢,又廢,又悶嗰啲,我真係唔知點生存的。但正因為有呢啲人,我先生存到咯。

fiat money 在 Facebook 的最讚貼文
A few people are contacting me, asking if they can print more of this artwork if they become the owner…my answer is a resounding YES, because this is part of the art - if they do it they’ll be emphasising my critique of central banks and fiat money - that paper money can be continually printed. Also, it shows that holding an NFT is different from saving jpgs. Note that this just applies to this series for my art - not to other works! Don’t go printing and copying other artists’ artworks ok 😂
