⏳ Back in 1999, Milton Friedman, the renowned American economist and Nobel Prize winner, theorized about the imminent emergence of an Internet currency that could be used to make transactions without the help of banks around the world, and completely anonymously.
🗣 "I think the Internet will be a major force in reducing the role of government in society. An important component will be secure electronic money where you can transfer your funds from user A to user B without them both knowing anything about each other."
Bitcoin was created about a decade after Friedman's interview.
