Farley on Nostr: What if Atlantis represents the last great decentralization cycle before it was ...
What if Atlantis represents the last great decentralization cycle before it was forced into collapse? Maybe their knowledge, energy systems, and governance were so advanced that they thought they had “won” the game. But something forced the pendulum back—whether it was internal corruption, natural disaster, or something cosmic.
Now, we are at the peak of another decentralization cycle. Bitcoin, open-source networks, peer-to-peer everything—we’re watching the fall of centralization in real time. But history tells us that nothing remains in one state forever.
What will be our Atlantis moment?
And more importantly… can we escape the cycle?
Or is civilization itself just a loop, playing out over and over, as it was above, so it is below?
