 I can see somebody invested a lot of time in this article (or should I say a small book), but I am sorry to say, it is a waste of time. A lot of words to say not really much, poor grammer, not really proving anything, missing important stuff, etc.
One observation is good though: empires roll on one little thing that people did not yet learn to do in a decentralized manner. Once they learn it, the empire dissolves. But the article failed to conclude that the secret weapon of today's hidden empire also known as the Matrix was convenient money. And that bitcoin is what now makes their main weapon irrelevant. And well, just like the past empires, they finally pissed off enough of their own elites (or their children), and those finally gathered enough power to overthrough them from within.
