I never forget the powerful are more powerful then I can imagine. I'm in but remain skeptical and cautiously tentative with all this stuff. At the end of the day they can take it all away; gold, crypto, cash, everything. I have heard of small communities creating their own currency (to beat gfc) to trade necessities & local stuff, might be a less extravagant life but certainly a more free one. Couldn't locate a link to the one I was thinking about sry.

I think we need to be doing more with cryptos, i.e. If you wanted some plans drawn, I'm sure we could come to an arrangement in bitcoin. We draw up a contract and a way we go. The issue is that we have to return to a culture of trust and honour, not one based on our current litigious culture.

Or if I had an old desk and you needed a cheap desk. Transact in bitcoin (or whatever) which requires the same amount of trust as you would need on ...say gumtree.com

What do think?
