"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground."
--Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, May 27, 1788

Also Thomas Jefferson, later in the same letter:
"...nothing is necessary but a general panic, produced either by failures, invasion or any other cause, and the whole visionary fabric vanishes into air and shews that paper is poverty, that it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself."
Paper is poverty, only the ghost of money.
We will not let another Thomas Jefferson, nor his followers define the next moment on planet earth.
Only in a society that has legitimized forced funding. If we can help people recognize that all forced funding is theft (using Bitcoin which requires your consent to move), then people may Eve work to prevent criminality & govt at the same time.
The flaw in the American experiment was that they planted the seed of forced funding.
The only real progress is for the government to end, and freedom to return to every being on planet earth. And rest assured, this will occur, because we do not give up.
