Some of the things I've been working on, is trying to bring bitcoin to a mainstream audience. I'm trying to remove most of the technical jargon, by simply stating that bitcoin is a payment system & money rolled into one. After I watched the passionate interview with Russell Brand, speaking of revolution because of failed government systems, I thought it was a good opportunity to write him an open letter. The nice thing about bitcoin is that it doesn't matter what type of political affiliation you have, it will work for everyone. For example: When Brand says he wants heavy taxation & massive redistribution of wealth. Bitcoin doesn't care, it will remain free. What are your thoughts on getting bitcoin mainstream? Here's the letter:

Dear Russell:

I just finished watching your interview with Jeremy Paxman, aside from Mr. Paxman being a trite individual, it was fantastic exchange of new ideas vs. old. I'm sure you were expecting Sinead O'Conner, or Miley Cyrus to write you this open-air missive. Alas, I'm going to underwhelm you, because my fame and fortune are nonexistent. So, here it is, you get me, Michael, writing you in hopes to get your attention to some important issues, in which are pertinent to your revolutionary interview.

As you summarized in your interview, people that have any sense, realize that voting changes nothing. Voting is an occupation for the disillusioned, the elderly, and hopeful tyrants. We all know that voting for a new master every four years, still doesn't make you free. Even still, the capacity to vote on people's fundamental human rights is the antithesis of freedom. Yet, this is the paradigm we live under, and are born into. In the United States there are approximately 240,000,000 people who are of voting age. In the 2012 elections, the total votes cast was approximately 130,000,000. That's a deficit of 110,000,000 people. It ends up around 65,000,000 people elect a supposed "leader" for the remaining 310,000,000. Of those voting, only a small percentage actually know what & how the government works. Although, they parrot the talking points like good citizens, as their smug partisan destroy lives.

Why doesn't Russell Brand start this revolution by donating his multimillion pound fortune towards erasing wealth disparity?

Oh yeah, because he's a hypocritical moron.

*sigh* everyone is.
