The case for state-free money
Six pieces that together explain what Money2069 is, why it exists, and what a purchasing-power-stable currency standard would look like. Start with the Manifesto; the rest follow in reading order — from thesis to theory to history to reference.
01ManifestoThe founding text. Why the next monetary standard should be neutral, debt-free, and stable in spending power — and why 2069 is the horizon.
02PrimerM69 is the coordination token of the Money2069 institution — a non-profit research project building toward a state-free, non-political monetary standard. A primer on what it is and how it works.
03Monetary TheoryA plain-English guide to the property bundle Austrian economists have argued about for 150 years — scarce, durable, neutral, and still missing one thing.
04ConceptCryptocurrencies designed to hold real purchasing power flat — not peg to a fiat currency. The concept, the designs, the challenges.
05Monetary HistoryFrom the Roman Denarius losing its silver to modern M2 expansion — 2,300 years of the same pattern. The techniques change, the incentive doesn't.
06Monetary HistoryEight modern case studies — Weimar, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Lebanon, Argentina, Turkey — and the recurring pattern of monetary failure.
07Monetary TheoryCurrency issued outside government control — from Scottish private banknotes (1716) to Bitcoin. Hayek's specific proposal, the historical record, and today's attempts.
08ReferenceA real-world ruler for purchasing power parity. How the daily version works, what it tells us, and why it's a useful stability reference for M69.
