So there's two primary aspects here, the third is a middle ground that succumbs to one or the other regardless
and ultimately doesn't matter as it's just a brand battle at that point.
We have global money and a metanet which is a superset of global money. Both of these are pinned(supposedly...used to be)
to fundamentals based around the encompassing ideas of decentralization. This means to me and I assume others things like censorship
resistance, resilliency and to a degree deeper than most, a rework of today's norms.
When it comes to the incentive structure there's also two aspects. The rational economic theories applied to the larger scope of
the functioning system and the belief of a more pure system based on controlling behavior with incentives applied to use of the systems.
Quit perpetuating broken norms: Simply dressing yesterday's ideals in a new suit doesn't fix anything.
- Prolonging today's idea of value and value transfer regardless of format ensures a slow evolution
Stop promoting absolutes: If your magical cure can 'fix all the things and make bad people go away' it's probably snake oil.
- The government likely isn't going to bend over backward because we say they will. Until we're not dependant on their resources and their abliity to apply forcefully their will is negated none of it will be used positively.
Acknowledge faults, discuss and find resolution: This is a global platform designed with the idea of public participants.
- It's okay to communicate and naturally find problems that need fixing. Let's collaborate to find responsible and agile solutions.
Look at what we have today for example. If we use lukes magical secret numbers..
that counts spv.. lol... most of the nodes are far outdated or running the more recent yet still vulnerable code.
Let's say in best case we're all running nodes, or like let's say 90% of capable people on the planet are..
but mining has come down to a state military protected op.
The things in the way are.. exchanges, laws, and military/state security of the product.
If we.. the 90% decide we didn't like their new rules they tried pushing in to our clients
and we stopped accepting their blocks effectively making a fork of *us vs them then we

'well then what's the solution fudster?!?!'
well.. simply, there is no perfect solution and no tool alone, no matter how shiney,
is going to swoop down and save us. Pushing for a system that ultimately locks masses into an economic panopticon
certainly isn't it either..
What's being promoted and driven today is just setting those efforts back.
Those points in that manifesto are key. They just don't apply to privacy only. What i'm getting at? Every part of our
