Much in there I accept as 1.) truthful enough to enable "some" trust, and 2.) cognitively balanced... Think it wise to avoid obvious labels, such as "money... brought to you by Enron"... also... yeah... eyes open. I have been thinking about 8.) for a long time already... that potentially being a much bigger deal in the real world... in two or three years from now... than the serial tokenisation of the commons in ether / hopium... token... script... ticket... same ideas... in each what matters is the contract it represents... which is the actual point of value and the performance required... including as in other things... such as accounts that require proofs of identity to access and use the value in them... or bearer bonds or notes that "are money" that do not... The law of digital representation of contracts... and the issues in their transportability... intact... across jurisdictions... is not mostly about the engineering of the tech to make it do what it can ? I'm not convinced the engineering, alone, really works to enable a transparent and functional disintermediation yet... but as the engineers continue work to enable it... I see nothing emerging in the struggle that makes me want to trust them in giving legal advise, or hire them to use as my lawyers ? The same, I think in "strategy and tactics"... in competition... which is not about mostly engineering. A number of flags of different colors and differing heraldry worth noting... The only one I see containing any red... is 9)... which boils down to a combination of chutzpah and ignorance that bears watching... even if taken in context of it being a diss of gumshoe bureaucrats... as even that contains risks... in simply assuming you have no risks. If that occurs because of disrespecting others ability, or power... thinking it doesn't matter ? Assuming others are not a risk to you... can also predispose to making errors of the sort that "if you can get away with it... why not"... while perhaps not correctly parsing differences in situations ? There, of course, the seeds of the same issues as seen now in currencies / banks (Enron) that are the source of our key issues with them ? Assuming nothing to fear from competitors, broadly defined... likely ensures no viable plan to deal with them... or correct for errors in risk assessments when risks are realized. Perhaps a risk or danger of the sort that emerged with the popularization of relativity theory... if physical reality is relative... why can't other things in life be made similarly relative ? But, of course, relativity doesn't repeal the basic rules or change the ways in which physics matters in our daily lives... at all... extending the idea into other things... not overly useful. "This changes everything"... almost never does. So, a need for avoiding error in belief rules are repealed... When you think your risks are obviated... because those posing the risks are hopeless idiots... it usually means they've succeeded in duping AND disrespecting you... Who does the moron work for ?

The age-old demand by evil highway robbers = hand over your gold and silver. Where is it or the kid gets it? (9) Scoffed at officialdoms current effort to make folks declare their crypto wallets, with "good luck" and "they are so behind the curve they have no idea of they are doing" Madame le quillotine will have to water the tree of liberty with officialdom kleptocrats when push comes to shove which is now "en garde". The used and abused will one day overthrow the tyranny of kleptocratic democracy. Hordes are hiding in Cyberspace with the Cybermoney. When I was developing Cybermoney 22 years ago, my presumption was that CIA, NSA, FBI, and many other acronyms would do wet work to stop such a threat. The acronyms were asleep at the wheel and now in rear-guard action. Note that crypto is now a target rich environment so I'm hidden in the open among swarms. I suppose they'll make a law that crypto-money is illegal. But that bumps up against my plan that the enforcement people would be enmeshed too and would not wish to damage their own crypto interests. It's fun to see my plan unfolding. Much like QUALCOMM went from "breaches the laws of physics" to zeitgeist.with everyone casually using and dependent on Qualcomm's mobile Cyberspace. It has been a great 32 years since I decided Fourier transforms could untangle mobile Cyberspace signals. I note you did not mention gold, eternal and blah blah blah. You seem to be gung ho with the crypto warriors. You're welcome. It's good to see you finally on board. A decade or more ago Tarken's best mate was discussing our cybermoney ideas with the Oz reserve bank governor and he told me he was surprised how much said governor didn't understand. Being longer in the tooth I was not surprised. You are right = they are behind the curve with no idea. Mqurice
