 "When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you -

When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed."

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957 
 When you go to the bank with your business idea, then they turn you down and steal your idea, this might be your first clue the game is rigged. #bitcoin
