RE: The largest political “alt” isn’t left or right.

Great post as usual @remistevens! I'm personally on the empowerment of the bottom side, and BTC obviously represents a tremendous opportunity to do just that. At the end of the day, the rich are going to stay rich - the smart ones anyway. Similarly, even if we tear everything down, the familiar power structures will reassert themselves (or at least will not go easily without a fight). Every revolution is followed by a counter-revolution. But that all said, no matter what happens in the next few years, crypto will actually give people a real shot at the American Dream.

Thanks man! Yes the rich will stay rich and there will always be rich people.....But the rich we have now have created a protectionist enclave. Its like an inbred aristocracy- classes in place on nepotism not merit. Crypto will change all that. If you're rich, you will face true competition. So spending on tyranny and protectionism will no longer be viable. Corporations won't be manipulating populations by ensuring that goods all ship across oceans. Nothing is efficient in shipping goods across the globe constantly- BUT, if all goods are foreign, centralized control makes sense. Globalization makes sense if we're going to be morons and ship garbage back and forth. Globalization makes sense if power is passed down from family to family first and foremost.....When the free market comes, we'll finally be weeding out morons and tyrants from the rich.
