   I've argued for years that the invention of the Internet will
   eventually be seen as a very slow-motion suicide by government.  It
   wasn't a one-step process, however:  Requring the invention of
   higher-speed modems to assist traffic, the World Wide Web, fiber
   optics, good encryption, etc.  TOR was/is yet another piece of the
   puzzle that will have to be assembled.
   My attention is on Ethereum and Augur, which will make the prediction
   market open.  Nobody will much care if I donate 0.001 BTC to see the
   end of [fill in the blank with the name of your un-favorite politician
