I love that pic at the top. It's much like where I grew up.
Regarding a bunch of immortal guys running everything forever, that's kinda how life itself started out. Senescence (aging and dying of old age) had to evolve. Senescence is one of the most vital abilities life has to enable evolution to operate and adapt creatures to changing environments. It's so important that almost no living things do not age out, and dozens of different mechanisms provide that valuable aging service to most species.
IOW, I am absolutely confident no such thing will happen.
A question occurs to me. How would you design a crypto that funded a physical communications network? Not just wires, not just satellites, but something truly decentralized that was distributed across billions of owner operators? I am sure you are aware I believe we are vulnerable without one, and am interested in your thoughts about how it could be achieved.
Thanks!
Wen CB-Radio Coin?
How would you structure the creation of tokens in order to fund manufacture and distribution of CB radios competent to effectively communicate across global expanse? CB radios are of limited range, as are FRS and other extant options for public radio spectrum. The ability of communications within a local community is potential with facility, but even intrastate communications could only be achieved via a mesh network, and that dependent on some form of 24/7 broadcast repeater, since diurnal cycles dramatically impact organic operations.
Continental and trans-oceanic CB transmissions aren't potential. What mechanisms would be necessary, or even possible, to enable CB Coin to create a decentralized network?
Frankly, you have but mocked the very concept of decentralized communications. Given the ongoing censorship of communications media available to the public, this well reflects the consideration you give to the security of your investments.
Easy come, easy go.
