The age of oil will finish for the same reason. Technological progress.
We are witnessing destruction of one of the largest global monopolies - OPEC.
Hopefully other monopolies like the global currency monopoly by Federal Reserve will also be destroyed by cryptocurrencies.
However if you think that Federal Reserve or OPEC is bad, wait and see what happens to Google or a Facebook once they merge with governments.
We need to build new technologies that will challenge new monopolies.

This month we have verified and promoted 17 official news sources, representing Ministries of Health in 17 countries (the constantly growing list is available in @corona). We did this as part of our anti-covid19 initiative announced in early April. While Telegram is not exactly famous for cooperating with government officials, we decided to make one exception globally to help spread information about the virus.
The current pandemic is a threat to our entire species. When it ends, the world will not return to normal. We may witness a civilizational shift that will ripple through generations. It is up to all of us to ensure that the new world about to be born is a better place than the one we're leaving behind.
This is a chance for people to use their time in isolation to create a better version of themselves – and a chance for technology to prove its worth for humanity. I believe we at Telegram should do all we can not only to help contain the pandemic and combat the spread of unverified information – but also to find new ways of moving forwards.
For this reason, in addition to providing informational support, we’ll try to contribute to tackling the problem of education under lockdown. We also have several other anti-covid19 projects in the works at Telegram.
I will announce more details in the next few days on the Telegram Blog.
Stay tuned. And stay safe.

Most people when they think of psycho think of someone irritable, loud or overreacting. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Psychopaths are usually extremely confident, charming and can make great impression on people. Psychopaths major difference from ordinary people is total lack of empathy towards feelings of other people.
When an ordinary person sees suffering of another person he/she also feels the "pain", but psychopath doesn't feel it. Not only the pain, psychopath doesn't really feel shy or fear, that's why they look so confident and charismatic in front of people.
Some people say that Steve Jobs was a functioning psychopath and so is Tom Cruise.
Here's an interview of a functioning psychopath.

An Interview with a Sociopath (Antisocial Personality Disorder and Bipolar)
Dyshae is diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. People with this condition are often referred to by the media as a “sociopath” or “psychopath”. Dyshae wants others to know that it is possible for a person with this disorder to become better adjusted…
Founder mentality: If you think like an owner, and you act like an owner, it’s only a matter of time until you become an owner.
A little piece from the book of John le Care « Our Game» talks about my homeland - Ingushetia.
«It happens to be the Ingush because I love their love of freedom, because they never had a feudal system or an aristocracy, no serfs, no slaves, no social superiors or inferiors.
The Ingush right to survive is my right and your right and the right of any good, free soul not to conform with the vile forces of uniformisation: whether imposed by Coms, Market Pigs, or the emetic Partyspeak of Political Correctitude.
It happens to be the Ingush because I’ve seen them, in their little valley towns and in their mountains, and like Negley Farson I saw a kind of Paradise and must take it in my care.
In life, as we both know, it’s the luck of the draw, who you meet and when and how much you have left to give, and the point at which you say, To hell with everything, this is where I go the distance, this is where I stick. You know those photos of old fellows in their great big mountain capes, their bourkas?
Well, in an uneven fight, when a North Caucasus warrior is surrounded by enemies, he will throw his bourka to the ground and stand on it to show he will not retreat one step from the surface covered by his bourka.
Me, I throw down my bourka somewhere on the road to Vladikavkas, on a perfect winter’s day, when the whole of creation is sitting up ahead of you, inviting you to come in, whatever the risk and whatever the cost”.

"You observe that most great scientists have tremendous drive. I worked for ten years with John Tukey at Bell Labs. He had tremendous drive. One day about three or four years after I joined, I discovered that John Tukey was slightly younger than I was. John was a genius and I clearly was not. Well I went storming into Bode’s office and said, “How can anybody my age know as much as John Tukey does?” He leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, grinned slightly, and said, “You would be surprised Hamming, how much you would know if you worked as hard as he did that many years.” I simply slunk out of the office!
What Bode was saying was this: “Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest.” Given two people of approximately the same ability and one person who works 10% more than the other, the latter will more than twice outproduce the former. The more you know, the more you learn; the more you learn, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more the opportunity - it is very much like compound interest. I don’t want to give you a rate, but it is a very high rate. Given two people with exactly the same ability, the one person who manages day in and day out to get in one more hour of thinking will be tremendously more productive over a lifetime. I took Bode’s remark to heart; I spent a good deal more of my time for some years trying to work a bit harder and I found, in fact, I could get more work done."
