Hi. I am new to the forum and like the participation that everyone gives.

In answer to the question, I like Friedrich Hayek who wrote, The Road To Serfdom. It is sad that someone who was so popular in the U.S. at the time he wrote the book is virtually ignored today and as a result, practically everything he said would happen with regard to state sponsored socialism is happening in the U.S. and is bringing the country down. I question if we can escape from it at all but with the introduction of cryptocurrencies, starting with Bitcoin, I think a community of informed individuals can possibly survive with their wealth intact. The only real black swan is something like a nuclear war with EMP radiation taking down the electronic infrastruction. That or the governments of the world colluding together to shutdown the internet in order to save their worthless fiat currencies. I only hope there is enough time for my family to get their money protected. We are on the verge of a major shift of either the freedom shift or another force shift which happens about every 100 years. The last one was precipitated in 1913 by the creation of the Federal Reserve and a couple of key Constitutional Amendments. Hopefully Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like it will be in the middle of causing a freedom shift instead.
