Read this interesting article over my morning coffee. It argues that the Bitcoin protocol has been captured to a large extent by institutions which, Bitcoin was designed to oppose. Going totally against the Cypherpunk mission of separating the money from the state.
The fight is real, and if we don't put up the fight now and keep building parralel railes for individuals who seek and choose to live a sovereign life, it may become to late.
Don't just sit on the side lines and watch this chaos unfold. Be courageous step up onto the field and play your part in making the world slightly better and more free to communicate, transact and move around.

No man should be a slave to the system, but I stead should be a captain of their own destiny and personal desires.

Democracy is infinitely preferable to neo-feudalism. Democracy works best when elected individuals are close to and accessible by electors. Devolution helps to prevent ivory towers. Bitcoin can and must be used to build stronger communites, and maintain free media.
