And, indeed, if significant part of early adopters recognizes their ethical obligation to support philantropic causes...

Kisa, can you explain the ethics behind that statement?

Well, what I imply is that philantropic attitudes could help to prevent democracy devolving into ochlocracy. With regards to ethics behind my statement, i am not that skilled in philosophy to answer this yet, apologies.

Democracy will always devolve into ochlocracy (actually it's the same thing) and I believe philanthropic attitudes is one of the reason why that happens. All politicians have philanthropic attitudes especially when it's with taxpayer money, they love giving money to the poor in exchange for their votes.

Maybe instead of trying to fix the economic mess, it's better to start with the political? Maybe  Instead of the Bitcoin revolution the world need the BitVote revolution... just saying
