I have not looked into Ripple, or more than half a dozen cryptocurrencies. If the people manipulating the public get the chaos they're spoiling for, it could be used to simply outlaw any currency they don't control. It has been done before, and would be more difficult to do now, but that doesn't mean they're not going to try. This business in India, outlawing certain notes as use as currency is evidence that those among us, who think they can profit from doing so, will try. Fortunately, math and encrypted signals cannot be distinguished from the merest vapor. Good luck to anyone trying to seize crytocurrency as they might silver or gold. It does appear that cash could go away. An effective cryptocurrency is a necessity to maintain liberty.

What do you think is the most viable method of energy production/generation/extraction accessible at the moment? Human civilization runs on electricity. If there is not accessible energy, many will suffer and some will even die. We need something reliable, and something the indoctrinated public can be persuaded to support. I'm almost certain that a person who shows up, sporting a one foot cube that provides all the energy required to power the lives of a family of four in a 2000 square foot house, that person will promptly go missing, suffer an unexpected heart attack, die in a plane crash, or have their car hacked and driven into a tree.

Is there a simple DIY method for which plans could just be preserved in the blockchain, for all to see, as long as there is energy to use it.
