The World Economic Forum has become famous (infamous) for saying, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”
This may sound like a crazy idea, but it’s becoming a reality.
In an article published in Forbes by the World Economic Forum, the authors talk about how we will eventually live in a system where our whole life is subscription-based and only the rich will own any personal property.
The article states, ‘Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city — or should I say, “our city.” I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes.’
In our latest video on the 99Bitcoin’s YouTube channel we explore the seemingly altruistic international organization known as the WEF and their goals for 2030.
4 Predictions Shaping Our Future According to the WEF
Those familiar with the WEF might see them as a Dr. Evil-esque Orwellian organization full of supervillains; they just have a really warped way of looking at the world.
While we certainly don’t have a positive opinion of them here at 99Bitcoins, they are making predictions based on reality.
For instance, “you will own nothing and be happy,” which is backed by:
- Homeownership declining at rates never seen in recent history
- Nobody owns physical media like video games or movies; it’s all streaming
- Total household debt is at an all-time high.
The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.
Here’s another prediction the WEF has.
All Products Will Have Become Services
According to the WEF, by 2030 we’ll all be using products as services.
So instead of buying a car, you’ll pay to rent one when needed. Instead of owning a house, more of us will live in shared apartments.
This becomes all the more terrifying now that asset managers like BlackStone are buying up real estate worldwide so they can offer “housing as a service.”
Blackstone is the largest single-family-rental company in America, with over 80,000 homes under its control.
Sure, houses are expensive and can immediately cause buyer’s remorse due to maintenance costs, property taxes, and mortgage interest.
Now, while there’s very little we can do to fight for physical ownership, digital ownership is becoming our only way to own assets that can deliver.
We can earn high returns on tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and even meme moonshots like Pepe unchained or Bonk.
Homeownership is becoming an elite-led asset, and time is running out to own one.
How Crypto Can Help Fix ALL of This
Data is the new oil.
This is why the WEF strongly believes in the power of cryptocurrency (for good or bad).
They know that if we continue to rely on physical currency, the entire financial system will collapse. Crypto will happen whether you want it or not. However, they want a cryptocurrency in their control, not something decentralized like Bitcoin.
Places like China have issued their Digital Yuan to monitor citizens’ spending habits closely.
Crypto will be tested against CBDCs, but we must keep fighting for decentralized solutions—things in our hands, the people.
