Yuval Noah Harari once said: “I don’t like Bitcoin because it is money based on distrust.”
Harari is a great historian. A serious thinker. He even handles some concepts from cognitive psychology quite well.
But there’s one thing he never touches: psychogenetic evolutionary development.
And that omission matters.
Because from a psychogenetic perspective, Bitcoin is not money based on distrust. It is money based on the evolution of the human psyche itself.
The species follows the same developmental pattern we observe in the individual subject. The macro mirrors the micro. Always has.
What Bitcoin represents is not paranoia, but a later stage of psychic organization: autonomy, abstraction, symbolic trust detached from authority figures.
When I posted this argument in different forums, the response was predictable:
“Stop doing drugs.”
“Wake up.”
Which only confirmed the point.
I’ve been observing subjects clinically for over 15 years. Harari’s statement pushed me to write an essay two years ago connecting individual psychic development with the evolutionary logic behind Bitcoin.
I published it in English and Spanish. It’s on Amazon KDP.
But here’s the part most people miss:
what truly matters is not whether Bitcoin itself is the final answer.
The real question isn’t even fully formulated yet—but we are already building it.
What matters is that the human species is approaching the end of centralized psychic structures.
Money is just the starting point.
The future will not depend on a symbolic totem like the State or God.
Like an adolescent who no longer organizes their identity around the values and beliefs of their parents or superiors, Homo sapiens is beginning to distribute information—monetary, spiritual, sexual, labor-related—in a decentralized way.
In other words:
decentralization is not a political preference.
It is the next evolutionary step of our species.

It's not the worst idea I've ever heard but bitcoin is not really a new idea in concept.
Bitcoin is functionally not very different from gold and other precious metals. It's different only in the sense it is digital which does matter but more so in a negative way (increasing artifice in the world).
These alternative currencies are ultimately based on distrust because that is largely the whole point of detaching from authority figures. I don't trust the authority behind standard currency so I will put my trust in a nonstandard currency instead. It is paranoia. And of course the people behind the non-standard currency are just out to make money for themselves. Nothing new at all.
And yeah of course bitcoin is not the final answer. It's not an answer at all. It's just more pointless human waffling that will lead nowhere. Just another speculative money making scheme that will further the gap between rich and poor. And the future already does not depend on a symbolic totem like the state or god. It never at any point did I'm afraid.
