So glad to read this :-) We really do agree on so much... I to hope something better will come out of all of this and digital currencies surely are a huge step in the right direction. But like you said: all systems evolve to become more centralized over time and I still see democracy, discussion and a sense of interdependence as the best way to guide that process. And who knows; maybe the blockchain will eventually give us real information to incite real discussion and let us decide on our shared future in a trustless and functional democracy of well informed people. I think we both hope for something similar... Thanks for all the input and food for thought my friend; I really appreciate the way you communicate about this subject :-)
