Hayek’s Legacy – When Good Money Becomes Possible Again.

“I don’t think we shall ever have good money again before we take it out of the hands of government – not violently, but in some sly roundabout way.”
– Friedrich August von Hayek, Nobel Prize in Economics

When an Economist Becomes a Revolutionary.

Imagine a highly decorated economist saying, in essence: “The monetary system is broken – by design.” That’s exactly what Friedrich August von Hayek did. Not as an anarchist or activist, but as a sober visionary. His diagnosis was clear: as long as governments hold the money monopoly, there will be no “good money.”
And his solution? Not protest, not violence – but a smart system shift. Quietly. Yet radically.

Money That No One Can Command.

Hayek envisioned a free competition of currencies. Money that doesn’t come from a central bank. No paper money to be inflated by politicians. No credit money devalued by interest and inflation. Instead: an account-based system beyond government reach. Decentralised, trust-based, powered by technology.

Bitcoin? Hayek Would Have Smiled.

When Bitcoin appeared, many thought it fulfilled Hayek’s vision. And yes – Satoshi Nakamoto’s invention is a milestone.
But Hayek wasn’t thinking of just one system. He envisioned many. That’s where it gets exciting. Because Bitcoin isn’t the only native answer.

Infinity-Economics – Hayek’s Spirit in Digital Form.

Today, native blockchains pick up Hayek’s idea and take it further. First and foremost: Infinity-Economics. A true peer-to-peer blockchain – without a central authority, without mining, built for forging and open to everyone.
It offers a full ecosystem: tokens, decentralised exchange, wallet-based self-sovereign identity (SSI), and smart contracts.
Yes, there are transaction fees – but no hidden costs, no fee circus. The fees are minimal, fixed, and technically justified – not profit-driven.

Anyone who knows Hayek’s quote will see it clearly: this isn’t coincidence – it’s pure digital independence.

And the States? Trying to Save Their Monopoly.

Meanwhile, governments are working on CBDCs – central bank digital currencies, where the state not only knows how much you own but also controls how long your money remains valid.
“For your safety,” they say. Or: “to increase efficiency.”
In truth? A digital leash.

The Quiet Uprising Has Already Begun

Hayek’s path was never about barricades. Like Infinity-Economics, his recipe was simple: create better alternatives. Let people decide.
That’s exactly what’s happening – through Bitcoin, through Infinity-Economics, through decentralised, native blockchain systems.

And You?

You don’t have to be an economist to see where this is going. All you need is the courage to take that first step – out of monetary dependency, into a system that belongs to you.
Hayek would have reached out his hand.
