As an Egyptian-American journalist, and global citizen, I have faith and think it’s possible to live in a world without a government backed by violence.
I will not give up on this Ideal, @teamsteem because I think the old world & its values are changing before our eyes — one example is, just recently, witnessing the 1st blockchain-backed elections in Sierre Leone!
We *can* live differently if we want it badly enough, and the deep mistrust in all the old Institutions - government, media, fiat money - suggests that people are hungry for change and ready for a peaceful ideological revolution.
As with any perceptual shift, it’s a question of numbers and organization, both of which are building over time. If the momentum continues, as Dan says, it will costlier and more difficult to live/do business *outside* blockchain.
The more people come to the realization in this quote, the sooner our collective liberation will take place, with more conscious and conscience-driven world citizens saying “Not In My Name” to government-sponsored violence and greed!
I leave you with a quote that inspires me:
>There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin
