If we hope to have our cake and eat it too, we must also decentralize power and water infrastructure, because the central banking elite will have no problem taking down power grids to keep their power.
I am proposing a blockchain app that allows neighborhoods to allocate municipal bonds in the form of crypto to each resident in the community, who then create and vote on proposals for neighborhood improvement projects (the winning proposal would then use the crypto to execute the project, sort of like GoFundMe).
Along with this D.App will be an educational initiative to guide each neighborhood in providing their own power, water, and locally interdependent economies (these parts will be hashed out in later proposal versions).
Feedback is much appreciated. The Steemit community has already helped in asking the right questions and directing me to the right orgs and individuals.
