 Just getting into Cryptosovereignty now. Love your style and thought. In your preface you write:

“The infinite wealth of knowing that mine is mine alone, and yours is yours alone, and that through the mutual signification, that is the dignity of the other, and the respect that we can offer towards one another’s property, we discover the greatest power that there is.”

Profound and powerful.

Makes me think that this real mutual respect engendered by Bitcoin is just a “first step” for humanity as it crawls out of the sludge of the dark ages, and can lead to helping us see the legitimate divine in one another as well. Put another way: Seeing one another as masters of unassailable and pure property reminds us of the unassailability and purity of our souls, and that we should respect them.

Also, because Bitcoin dis-ables all of us (in the sense that it distributes our abilities beyond the physical and into the digital) we may come to the see internet-space as much more sacred, in the longer run.

(Just some thoughts as I’m reading. Hope you don’t mind me scrawling them here, randomly. 😉)
