The world is changing friends. We're a part of a major decentralization project which will tear apart the very fabric of our corporation driven society. This old system wasn't a bad thing, in fact I think it was required, but like everything else it was just a stepping stone.
A stepping stone to a society which recognises that control in the hands of the few will not benefit the many. A generation who recognise that we have the capacity to create technologies which govern and deploy the principals and methods so we can be concerned with living.
Bankers are petrified, governments are fumbling over their own words. And that's just the way it should be. These new systems will serve the people, and not just the privileged few in western cultures, but the majority everywhere else in the world, who will benefit most. Will it be perfect? No. But it will be an improvement to the magnitude we've never seen before, the industrial revolution included...
If you thought the internet was something, wait till you see what's coming. This is not about cryptocurrencies, they are just the tip of the iceberg.
We are evolving as a species and this branch of technology will give us the infrastructure which will in-turn propel us towards becoming a type 1 civilisation.
Learn about it, tell your friends, tell your partners, tell your kids, get involved. The world is changing forever.
