Richy_T had some good ideas about balancing the budget, cancelling central banks and cutting down on government spending. These are nice, but I'm not sure they're doable. The very structure of the government as an institution prohibits them. Which is why I feel the need for non-governmental alternatives.
To be clear, I agree with you. When you look at the job that lays ahead and the history of the situation, it's a path that inevitably will not be taken. Unfortunately, the alternative is pretty catastrophic collapse with some very nasty consequences.
Unless, perhaps, another way presents itself. A way to detach from the sinking ship. I think that's what you're suggesting.
This is pretty much how I see it. Being an incorrigible optimist, I keep advocating for the peaceful, bottom-up, growing of alternatives. Even though I don't think there is a high probability we will see this. Lacking this path, there seems to be only the inevitable collapse which looms pretty scary.
Just noticed the new volume option on bitcoinwisdom.
May I suggest heading over to
user/bitcoinwisdom's profile or the official
btcwisdom thread and leave a donation. The guy and his website are awesome, imo: he's quick to react to (reasonable) suggestions (the volume(quote) was suggested by me some days ago, he implemented it in *no* time), his website is up and running with high reliability, and it's a breeze to use (like the very intuitive line tool). well worth a small donation /shameless plug
Great suggestion! Considering how often I stare at this chart it's downright criminal I haven't donated until now
