yeah, but my perceived best interests include what I perceive to be the best interests of the community around me, I wish I could say the same for our government, or the cable companies...
as much as I dislike corporations, or the government, they often provide services that I find useful, or difficult to live without.
I want to believe that crypto can change all of that, and even these meshnets which i just learned of, thanks to you... but "powers that be" are very good at co-opting movements to forward their own selfish agendas, to the disinterest of the community that sustains them.
