US has a culture that knows that resisting the change isn't way to stay as #1, and you better innovate and disrupt yourself. However, state's innovation might not end up being what crypto advocates are looking for.
- smt88 6y agoI wish the US still had that culture. Our federal legislature has been intentionally deadlocked by a single man for years, without any hope of that changing.
- kortilla 6y agoThis mistake in this line of thinking is that innovation comes from the government.
- smt88 6y agoAnd yet here I am on the internet, an invention of government-funded researchers. But seriously: I didn't innovation originates from the government, but our elected officials are certainly a reflection of the culture of our country. In fact, one of our major political parties rages against the things that made the US innovative: creating a haven for immigrant scientists and entrepreneurs, excellent research universities, and social programs that acted as a safety net for anyone taking a risk on an innovative business.

- obilgic 6y agoAre you saying that because of It's refusal of metric system, It has lost its #1 spot?
- Ericson2314 6y agoNo I'm saying that for quite some time, the US has not made the reforms it should have that other countries did. Perhaps the ratio of exceptionalism to gridlock as the excuse for stasis has changed, but the stasis itself hasn't.
