Remove that - walk away from the bank and their power gets diminished. That is why Austria stomped on the Wörgl experiment. That is why they go against Bitcoin and other alternatives with such a vengeance - it is by no means justified by the actual size of the currency. Money is their power and their Achilles' heel. Try to overthrow them - the Stasi knows about your plans before you know them - failure at a very early stage is inevitable. Violence is futile. But get them at the money - by walking away from it, and they will be as powerful as the ancient gods. How did they lose their power? People walked away from them. What can we do? We define our own money. Bitcoin is a start. Zero Reserve is a perfect complement. It closes the main vulnerability of Bitcoin - the centralizen exchanges. Zero Reserve has the potential to obsolete the banks. It can democratize money. It allows everyone, literally everyone, to act like a bank. Zero Reserve is real. It is a workable plan. We can do it without parliaments, lobbying or anything - by simply doing it. Will it create a perfect world? No. Miracles are for religion. This is it: https://github.com/zeroreserve/ZeroReserve/wiki You can keep talking about the perfect world. You can talk about redistributing money. I talk about *distributing the monetary system*. And I am not just talking - I am programming the means to it. Distributing the monetary system is one of the few good chances I see to avert the desaster of the coming crash. Much of the value that is produced is consumed by the monetary system. Make this system obsolete and everyone can be much richer than today. We need not fear the robotic revolution if access to the means of production is possible for everyone. But to permit that, first we have to obsolete the monetary system. -Anu _______________________________________________ Doctrinezero mailing list Doctrinezero@zerostate.is Unsubscribe: https://lists.zerostate.is/mailman/listinfo/doctrinezero ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://ativel.com http://postbiota.org AC894EC5: 38A5 5F46 A4FF 59B8 336B 47EE F46E 3489 AC89 4EC5
