Check out Cardano.  They are doing some pretty amazing things and their founder is inspiring.  

His talk here convinced me to invest in ADA and get behind Cardano - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1fNLSjAgHg

I am surprised by everything he manages to accomplish. It's the sort of thing that the Elites would not want done so fast. Space is interesting but it is not where his efforts are best focused for humanity.

Mostly he single handedly initiated the electrification of transport in a way that the Elites could not easily stop. And now all manufacturers are following in order to survive. I would say he cut decades out of the normal timing for this to happen.

In about 5 years, these cars will be at price parity with gasoline cars and another couple years before the used car market also has electric cars at price parity. When this happens, gasoline will truly be on its way out. Because if people can buy a used 5000$ electric car with 600km of range there will be very little reason to buy gasoline cars. I could not wait that long so I bought a Model 3 even though it is overpriced for me.

UFOs have already been disclosed by the CIA.

The issue is that much of the technocratic elite are strongly in support of bitcoin and crypto currency. Here's some information I put together a little while ago on that subject.
https://lunarlove.substack.com/p/bitcoin-the-next-evolution-of-technological

basically its a look at some of the biggest players in the space, but focusing on Digital Currency Group, probably the largest company/fund operating in the crypto space.

Love this discussion and love the nuanced points everyone has been making. This technology is certainly not black and white. I used to be more romantic about the potential for blockchain/bitcoin to free us from the current monetary system domminated by the central banks and their "debt monetization" (money printing), but now I am a bit more cautious.

I am cautious mainly because the entire basis of digital technology is based on the hyper polarization/abstraction of energy into 0s and 1s. This abstraction allows extreme control to the technologically adept/educated elite. Certainly it can be used to benefit others, but the fundamental pattern still rests on the domination of nature.

One interesting usecase for smart contract platforms revolves around creating governance systems for various organizations. I use to work for MakerDAO an Ethereum based organization used for decentralized leverage, meaning that you can lock ETH (or other crypto) and take out debt against that ETH without any counterparty (besides the Ethereum blockchain). I was involved mainly in designing some of the governance processes.

Seems like there's knowledgeable people here on the blockchain subject. If anyone is working on trying to organize something to aid organizations seeking I would be interested in discussing. I know the crypto space quite well at this point and would love to talk potentials

They definitely don't want that, which is why people like Gates are coming out against it while CREATING patents to use it for their own purposes. They also will want to take your guns as well.  Protect yourself and your community, and whatever you do, do not buy into any of this Green propaganda they are spewing everywhere...including veganism.
