Ever wonder what the world will look like if/when 98% of the population uses a handful of crypto currencies and technologies to buy and sell, communicate, verify, protect their ID and possibly even vote without worry of interference, theft, tracking or the other ills of our current system?
Overall everything seems to be moving in favor of faster, more secure options that are easier to use AND mine. Before we know it seamless, instant transactions SHOULD be possible at virtually zero cost.
Right now the oligarchs and their political stooges the world over are trying to figure out how to control this new form of money. Will technology outpace them? Are nationally controlled FIAT currencies like the USD doomed? Could Banks/Visa/MC/Disc/Amex collude to fight crypto currency or do they get with the program?
