 bitcoin is now bigger than the swiss franc because it is a self funding distributed system

i can't say enough towards this and really want people to get hold of this and run with it because the sooner this protocol is its own circular ecosystem between users, devs and operators the sooner we are outside of the gates, right now we are just like a billy goat bashing against a fence that is strong enough to contain him

self funding is like a set of heavy duty bolt cutters 
 We should start a company, issue a token and build a revenue model. 

1. A client cannot start charging fees from the get go. It has to be a freemium model. 
2. The client will abstract away all the underlying costs. Maybe a $1/year could be the minimum. 
3. It cannot be ads based. It'll misalign the incentives again.  
 no need to register with the government for anything, why? 
 Why do we need to register with a government?  
 only if you want to serve them or be raped 
 Do not want to be raped, by anyone.  
 oh i forgot, not "serve" i meant "be the slaves of"

so, yeah, i'll pass on being raped or any kind of slavery as well 
 I got what you meant ahaha. I don't want to be their servant!
