There are no democratic governments, we have republics which are just a bit better oligarchies. We can make free and open systems that are more democratic based on participation, voluntarism and actual people voting. Which is what is happening in crypto. Of course in every system there is a possibility of corruption, but for crypto that's obvious and people are actually working on sloving this as a problem while in the real world that's a feature. > Reasonably, the American people want control over the currency and money supply in their own country. Sure and they can keep it, I just don't know why they need to control everyone else too. I'm on the other side of the planet and the only relevant politics is the US, whether or not I get to own a home in my lifetime depends on one guy deciding how strong he wants the dollar to be ... I don't find this system particullary reasonable.

Someone wants you to not use your power. Who benefits from that? Who will gain power? > There are no democratic governments, we have republics which are just a bit better oligarchies. That's what people who want a true republic or oligarchy will tell you - quit, give up, it's hopeless. We not only have democracy, they work well - but they are made of people. If you vote out the bad people, they leave. If we the people do a bad job, we'll have bad results. If you do a bad job, that's what you'll get. If you don't even show up, we will fail. It's straightforward. I'm counting on you. > Of course in every system there is a possibility of corruption, but for crypto that's obvious and people are actually working on sloving this as a problem while in the real world that's a feature. People are and have been working on that in real life for centuries, with great success. Democracies are far less corrupt than other systems of government, and until recently - until people started quitting and not supporting the work - they have been continually improving. What have you done to help? > crypto It's a sci-fi story; what you say is happening is a fiction (like many things on the Internet). We need to get serious about the real world and our real communities, now. We are losing ground every day.
