P2P transactions and monetary sovereignty makes democracy at least possible. As Lynn Alden said recently, 160 casino chip currencies around the world stuck behind national borders with few having much value outside those borders. All have an increasing money supply which puts the citizens on a treadmill. If you can make 10-20% more each year then you get to stay at their table. if you dont then you will b consumed by the fiat game and all the well intentioned plans will be for nothing.
