If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Did you know Dr. B.R. Ambedkar proposed something remarkably similar to Bitcoin's monetary philosophy back in 1923?
In his book The Problem of the Rupee, Ambedkar argued for an inconvertible rupee with a fixed limit of issue.
His concern? Governments should not have unlimited power to expand the money supply.
Some fascinating parallels:
• 1923: Ambedkar argued for restricting rupee issuance.
• 1923: He advocated closing mints to unrestricted coinage.
• 2009: Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin.
• Bitcoin: A predetermined monetary issuance schedule and a hard cap of 21 million coins.
Ambedkar didn't invent Bitcoin, blockchain or decentralised money.
But decades before Bitcoin, he was asking a question that remains relevant today:
Who should control the creation of money, and who should protect its value?
India's monetary history is far more fascinating than we realise!
