You appear to be making some big leaps and also assuming several things about my beliefs and politics. I try not to do political discussions ($$). But, if you're seriously and genuinely interested in my perspectives, let's talk more. I've been thinking of economics, currencies, labor, income, and wealth for probably 25 years. It's a huge hobby of mine. I've been enthusiastically monitoring crypto-currencies ever since Bitcoin emerged and have been thinking about them for even longer. I could probably write 100s of pages on my thoughts. But, HN is definitely not the place to start that type of in-depth discussion. ($$) Political debates (especially online) are rarely productive. A person's political views are built on so many low-level things that it's a very personal thing. I used to love political debates when I was younger - it just felt so good. But, I've learned that people's politics don't budge much. So, while interesting, it's ultimately not useful.
