 Excellent x 10.

I think it is important to know whom the enemies of freedom are and I know why you'd like to avoid this topic.

For me the first nail in the coffin came with the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 (Banking cartel) followed shortly there after by the 16th Amendment (individual income tax).  Today, individuals are unfairly taxed to death while the corporation get almost a free ride in comparison.

I often wonder, if USD was still backed by gold, would bitcoin even exist.

The enemy has been in place for over a hundred years now and it would be foolish to think they won't go down without a fight.

I believe history has proved that major change requires major blood shed.

My hope is we can prove history wrong.
