Imagine you bet the future of your country on the US Govt, you become a puppet regime, you do as you are told and provoke a war with your powerful nuclear armed neighbor, half your citizens flee, your country gets wrecked, you are now hundreds of billions in debt and get NOTHING.

I believe that Cryptocurrency/Blockchain/Publicly-Distributed-Ledger technologies offer a novel chance at the perfect time. -- An opportunity to change our politics and the quality of our governance. -- Empowering the individual, and decoupling from centralized authority, the power to manipulate our monetary policy and supply. -- To engender a greater sense of international unity and accord, with the establishment of universally accepted means of storing, retaining, and exchanging value and keeping units of account. -- WE can unify 'The Millennial Super-Majority'; the 35-and-under demographic which, for the first time, can out-vote 'The Boomers.' --To begin the necessary transition(s) of political, economic, and social power to the coming generation(s). -- Part of the problem is that the 70 and 80 year olds establishing policy, have not, and will not, have to live with the consequences of their decisions; be they 'poisoned waters, burning trees, or unaffordable housing.' -- WE can rally around positive, creative, economically responsible, technologies -- that help remove the influence of money in our politics, and poison from our public discourse. -- To free ourselves from 'Private Interests' in 'Public Halls'; for the betterment of the 'Common Good.' -- I would love to see -- 'The Millennial Super-Majority' – peacefully insist in unity that "WE" are free; and make it so with OUR vote.

-- No more negativity; fix the money; fix the world. -- Let's get it!
