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 instead of pegging 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.
