Thanks for your response. I will just quickly reply.
About transition. Yes we cannot jump into RBE right away. TVP never said we should as it is obvious it is impossible because of large variety of cultures with different values and attachment to different ideologies around the planet. That's why they offer to build an experimental RBE cisty first so people can see how it works and it would also work as research base.
Also, cryptocurrencies may be a transitional tool to move towards RBE from fiat monetary society.
About believing. I'm not a believer. I eradicated this word from my dictionary. I avoid this word. Believing is wanting something to be true without the evidence. It's a dangerous and delusional thought process.
I don't believe in anything. I only consider the most probable possibilities by taking into account, what I have been lucky to be aware, that science has discovered so far.
Also, I don't consider myself so called "Enlightened" or "Awakened". It's just another delusionary self appointing of ourselves in order to generate sense of self identity or even self rightousness. I can assure you that people who self appoint (call) themselves that way are probably the least so called enlightened. Whatever that arbitrary, subjective concept may mean.
Perhaps I should have used intellectual or conscious instead. I can see how our values differ from each other and I can always respect other peoples opinions on the subjects which I have a connection to in which you do not. I love to see how everyone's unique perspective allows me to think more about myself by allowing myself to pitch my consciousness into a different direction that I did not think it was possible to go before. I do not fix problems, I fix my thinking, and problems fix themselves is a quote from Louise Hays that I love and I do think that is relevant. I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to exchange the ideas and concepts which you wrote. I hope that you can integrate information that I have provided to you in your own way, as you see fit, at the time of your choosing. All I asked is that I have your respect and open mind, so thank you again for joining in with the co-creation of this open letter to all of those who may be reading it and thinking of adding their own unique perspective.
I do encourage any one who may be lurking this thread or think it was 'tl;dr' to please give it a chance some time and see what may be relevant to yourself! I would like to add that there has been a lot of content posted recently on the Ripple forums which many of you who may have an interest in this thread and the topics therein. You can find these threads in the General Discussion board on those forums.
As for RBEs, I know of that one project in which you referred to. I do not remember where it is located or the name however. I have not been following that project because my passion has been following the path of providing information and services for the movement of fiat currencies into sound money. After, I am excited to be able to work on computer sciences and further my understanding of software development, hardware (which I lack a lot of knowledge currently), and quantum computing as that becomes an available technology.
I apologize for the tardiness of my reply, I will try to answer this thread more frequently. I am currently working on my Ripple Gateway project. The web site xagate.com is currently down, however, the project information is located within the Market/Exchange board of the official Ripple forums. I have an IPO active where you may purchase a dividend bearing asset for the services I will be providing in the New Year. The dividends will begin to be paid in April. Any interested investor can pursue my business further at the official Ripple forums. Apologies for the shameless whoring of my business along with this thread, this is the only time I will post about it here.
