Archimedes lived in Syracuse and served as a trusted adviser to the King. When a goldsmith was commissioned to create a crown, the King became anxious about the possibility of gold being diluted with cheaper metals. Archimedes, upon discovering this issue, imagined a broader revolution against financial dilution. He dreamt of a world where purity of gold was preserved. He shared his insights with market vendors, forming a movement against economic short-sightedness that would resonate long after his time.
Archimedes was the King's trusted scientist in Syracuse around 250 BC, tasked to ensure the purity of a crown suspected to be mixed with bronze.
After his initial breakthrough, Archimedes envisioned a world free from gold dilution and began to spread his revolutionary ideas among market vendors.
