RE: Rome and Steemit were not built in a day. The rise and fall of Rome and how Steemit can learn from this story.

in #steemit8 years ago

The government holding a monopoly is not a solution. The banks only hold a monopoly because the government monopoly in violence transferred a portion of its monopoly power to its corporate cronies.

No argument from me on this point.
I do not mean that the Govt should have control either.
My main point I wish to make is that at least when money creation is done by the Govt it does not have interest attached to it as it does when when banks create it. Creating a debt based economy from day one. We see now how with the creation of Bitcoin it has not debt attached to it and people are learning to take control of their own money effectively everyone becoming their own bank.
We have a long way to go as yet but I think with blockchain tech we are one step closer.
Thanks for the engagement!
