Years ago I read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins, it rocked my world. Fast forward to 2013, I hear about Bitcoin but through a person who is quite selfish and thinks being able to find a sneak to the top makes you smart, so I do't look into it. Fast forward to last November, we lost everything financially due to political bullshit (kratom and vaping businesses), and am pretty pessimistic. I see a person whom I know to be a really stand up human posting more about blockchain/crypto etc. Down the rabbit hole I go. When I saw that this coin was happening, that was it for me. I cried from happiness at the possibility of countries getting out from under the thumb and debt orchestrated the way Perkins had outlined. When I mentioned to others how big this was philosophically, most just had the response of how it would pan out or not (mostly negative outlook), but to me, this IS the revolution. This is a fresh possibility of autonomy that, regardless of its outcome, is a vanguard in global economic restructuring.
