The big players in today's pink economy are going to be the last to adapt, kicking and screaming, to the new economic reality. For years before that happens, though, individuals, sole traders and small enterprises are going to be taking more and more of their income away as, simultaneously, a) the new monetary system's benefits impact more and more people, b) the inevitable institutional dumbness of big organizations makes them stumble and lag, and, c) continually eroding confidence in the state, its institutions and the entities that rely upon them drives more and more people into the new economy.<br/></div><br/>I like that idea of Yours, however what i don't like about it is the amount of time it needs to become reality.<br/>However i guess we don't have any choice, as the "old economy" will never adapt - I concede with you there. Bankers & other people who gain from the current system will never resign of their false fraudulent dream world, unless it totally collapses itself first.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1735.msg25371#msg25371">Quote from: mikegogulski on November 29, 2010, 02:24:48 PM</a></div><div class="quote">BTW, Shadow, when they shut down the internet, I know how to build a new one. Want to help? <img alt="Smiley" border="0" src="/static/img/emoticons/smiley.gif"/><br/></div><br/>No need for that, they cannot really "shut down the internet". They would have to take all the physical equipment away from people - Linux servers, routers, switches, wires, cables etc. And that is not possible at all without some major disaster (nuclear war or something).<br/><br/>They cannot take our equipment from us, and with the equipment geeks will quickly build a new internet from the scratch. It's just a matter of little rewiring & changing configuration. Not so difficult as one would think.</div> text/html
