<We all have best money ever and real already. Our brains.> Quuite right Marek and that's the basis of Qi prototype [and finished product].

Yes, if there's a better currency, Qi, but there are few people who have a super profitable business willing to give it away. <If the US will lose their hegemony supplying world currency it might serve them really good in the longer term. >

Luddites smashed looms because they had a vested interest, but if everyone had done the same and stopped the industrial revolution by Ted Kaczynski ideology, Great Britain would not have had the
"Great" or the empire. You can be sure that owners of US$ will smash the Qi pixelation processes if they can.

Yes, overall, Americans too will be better off, but that's in the future and most people are concerned more about today and this year. Look at the financial industry implosion as this year's bonus was the focus rather than the next 10 years profits. The interest of the individual does not match the interest of the collective.

PS: The USA is not prepared for being nuked but neither is anywhere else. Given the weight of numbers, the USA would fare better than their opposition - though the meaning of "better" should have close inspection. There is NOT going to be any conventional invasion of the USA which is armed to the teeth.
