>organize a nationwide campaign to decriminalize drugs and stop the overdose crisis (this is a bipartisan issue, 80k overdose deaths per year is a stain on our country's honor and everyone has been affected or knows somebody who has)

>use this campaign to fundamentally change the way power is exercised in the criminal justice system and shift the conversation to compassion

>provide human rights (housing, healthcare, education i.e. homelessness crisis, medicare for all, and student loan debt)

>pay for it by making huge corporations and corrupt Wall Street banks pay taxes and avert WW3 by bringing troops home and reinstating the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 i.e. shifting from a crumbling unipolar system to a multipolar system based around geographic spheres of influence and economic walled gardens

>reconnect with Gaia, unify spirituality and technological process by limiting corporate influence in government and safeguarding the natural world by extending legal protection to all life (the natural world as well as human), turning towards indigenous wisdom for guidance and shifting from resource-heavy centralized megacities to decentralized sustainable communities linked by technology ("forward to the ox-cart, cf. "Small is Beautiful" E.F. Schumacher, originator of the Bancor concept at Bretton-Woods)

>institute a system of direct democracy based around local councils, stop treating corporations as people, institute a universal syndicalist model of co-operative control of industry that maintains self-interest and profit-motive while still reducing inequality (again, cf. "Small is Beautiful" by EF Schumacher)

>eventually realize our common interests as a species outweigh the craven greed of the .01%, unify as a human race to solve the accelerating climate crisis, end dependence on oil, release black project zeropoint energy tech, and pursue our destiny among the stars while joining the Galactic Federation and choosing Star Trek instead of Mad Max

In the information economy, decentralized orgs are more effective. They resist corruption, minimize bureaucracy, and push decision making to the edge (where the most accurate information lives). Bitcoin resists corruption and pushes complexity + decision making to the edge.
Scientists conducted an experiment where a fungus (Slime Mold) was incentivized to recreate Tokyo's rail system (stops marked w/ food). The fungus designed a better rail network than the engineers hired by the Japanese govt.

Over time, free market monetary competition enables bitcoin to out-compete legacy financial systems who have no skin in the game, suffer from innovator’s dilemma, become fragile over time, often drown in bureaucracy (or worse). Satoshi understood the power of the slime mold.
Bitcoin/mycelium have no central point of failure. Parts can be removed but the system survives. Individual developers, miners, users are vulnerable yet not crucial. No one to jail, no hardware to seize. Unsuccessful attacks on bitcoin/mycelium make the system stronger.
Nation states and central banks face a paradoxical challenge. If they attempt to destroy their competition, they’ll highlight the very need for bitcoin in the first place. And yet, the longer they wait, the stronger bitcoin becomes.
Both bitcoin and mycelium thrive in highly competitive ecosystems. They have skin in the game. Adapt or die. They become hardened from hostility.
Antifragile Fungi are constantly fighting underground battles against bacteria/microbes/fungi. When a predator is found, it sends info to the “mushroom scientists” who create a new enzyme targeting the predator. Then the fungi distributes the enzyme as needed. Fungi are antifragile.
Bitcoin is a living system constantly evolving based on environmental stimuli. As threats are found in the system, info is sent to the “bitcoin scientists” (developers) who create an “enzyme” (software patch) before propagating it through the system.
