If you haven't had a chance to check out Mr. Robot, I cannot recommend it more highly. You can check out the first season here at [USA Networks](http://www.usanetwork.com/mrrobot/episodes). One of the biggest themes of the show is the idea that there is a powerful cult--the top 1% of the top 1%, and [the radical and unfair power they have in this world](http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/6/the-top-001-percent-are-different-from-you-and-me.html).

It should, because this isn't just a TV show--it's the world we live in.

The richest and most powerful people on this plant, from politicians like [Hilary Clinton](http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/07/fbi_chief_defends_decision_not.html), to [big banks like HSBC](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36768140) are ALLOWED to openly violate the law, and not be held accountable in anyway. They can break the law, kill people, steal billions, and nothing will be done.

And these are not isolated events--it's just business as usual.

What can we do in a world where our political system have been completely corrupted? Where gangsters in suits get to strut around and proudly laugh at the poor who are struggling everyday just to keep up and keep a roof over their head? What can we do when we try to use our civil liberties to exercise our rights only to be violently beat down to go back to business as usual the next day?

We can fight back.

By using digital currencies like bitcoin, we refuse to participate in their corrupt economic system while building out a new, better and more egalitarian system of money, and economic exchange. 

If you really want to make a difference, voting sure as hell isn't going to do it--but buying bitcoin, encouraging people to use it from a political stand point, and creating real dialog about forcing the system to change from the outside is the real key.
