That is a really interesting discussion going on Chase!
I just watched this 3 minute video about 'leadership' and starting a movement. I found it incredibly interesting. I feel much like Digital Currency is currently sitting at the point where about 3 people are involved in the timeline of the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbaemWIljeQIt highlights how 'viral' both Digital Currency, and the DNotes project could become if we can stand up for our values / passion / mutual interests, and embrace our 'first follower' status.
Suddenly I feel like DNotes Dancing! What an excellent video to show the power of one person who leads the way and how others, finding his actions worthy, join in and all become one. Once people realize that DNotes is that "One", then all will join and become one. DNotes global commerce acceptance is inevitable.
This is an excellent video and definitely worth watching. Good leadership is not about telling others what to do but showing and sharing things that are worth doing. It is not about me but about all of us. It is not about exploiting others for personal gain but about working together in things we all believe in for the mutual benefit of everyone. The most valuable form of movement a leader can create is one that perpetuates itself long after the leader is gone; one that the followers keep creating more followers continuously creating ever increasing momentum till it reaches a tipping point and starts to dominate. This is very telling where DNotes is heading. We could not have produced a more meaningful video ourselves.
