THE GOSPEL OF MODERN MONEY (Chapter: Henry the Industrial Prophet) And there arose another prophet in the land of assembly lines and fire-forged steel. His name was Henry, and he saw beyond machinery—into the soul of value itself. He looked upon the paper money of the bankers, unstable and corrupt, and declared: ‘This shall not stand.’ In the year of man 1921, he proclaimed a new vision: ‘We shall replace the gold standard with the energy standard.’ Money backed not by metal, but by power. Value measured not by weight, but by work. ‘The fundamental unit of value,’ he said, ‘shall be a kilowatt-hour.’ But the bankers and politicians mocked him: ‘You assemble cars, not currencies! Stay in your place!’ And they suppressed his vision, for it threatened their monopoly on creation. Yet his word did not die. It lingered like a spark in the collective mind… A prophecy waiting for its technology. A prayer waiting for its algorithm. Decades later, another would arise—not from a factory, but from the code. And he would build not upon gold, not upon promises, but upon burnt energy… Upon Proof-of-Work. Henry did not live to plug a miner into the wall. But he foresaw the principle. He prophesied the link between energy, value, and truth. Some say he even foretold the circular economy of power— Where energy begets money, and money begets energy, Freeing mankind from the money-changers once and for all. https://blossom.primal.net/cbfeac189381f9683f3e6c35491735f3cc8dc91b059a62b6fe2569897d3d01b2.jpg
