RE: Voting Re-examined
Our battle on that front is twofold: Public information on alternatives, and challenging the legal monopoly on money held by governments. Fiat only holds sway because it is effectively mandatory to use it. It has no intrinsic value, just the legacy of past sound money long gone. None of the monetary systems in use now are very old. WW1 ended just a century ago, and just about every money in the world then has been wiped out or fundamentally altered. We can handle change. The moment fiat loses appeal in the market, it is done. And the more we explore alternatives, the sooner that will happen. It's just a matter of time now.
I agree that education is the problem, here, in NZ, they are predicting more people over the age of 60 by 2030, from memory,
It is harder to change older peoples way of doing things, paying for things especially, this was very noticeable when we changed from pounds, shillings and pence to dollars and cents.
Old people would open their purse and allow the shopkeeper to take the right money out. They had little choice as the whole country had changed.
To offer two or more currencies at the checkout counter is going to take a lot of training, up to date conversion factors, trust ( in the snotty-nosed just left school 'cause its holiday time), and training/belief in Joe Blogs, the everyday user.
Start now and your great grandies may be able to use crypto for their currency.
