Yes, I know what the word means, what I do not understand is what "you" mean by that phrase.
If I use the word "modality" and you know what it means, then where is your confusion?
The modality you are in, determines your will, your intent. Do you understand will and intent?
So the 1776 modality = the 1776 will.
Join me, and mine Benjamins. Or, try to bring your will to whatever modality you operate in each day. My profession was computers, before they were complete crapped upon by the corporations who make them. Whats your resume, and is it still a valid industry with benefits and such? Or has it been hollowed out like the US IT industry? See, that's part of why I see mining as a rebellious political act. Because my trade and industry was destroyed by people with no brains and no good vision.
And how exactly will mining Benjamins change or influence that? I'm sorry to say that Benjamins are probably a long way down the list of crypto-currencies that the political establishment are going to be worried about. If you really want to be rebellious I would have thought putting your effort into something that has a chance of making a difference would be more successful. Realistically that means Bitcoin.
As for words and meanings, just because the words are understood, does not mean that the resulting sentence is meaningful. Here is a simple example:
"I'm going to the butcher to sell a pint of bread."
I expect you understand all the words but what the heck does it mean?
