Yes I do realize what the original term is supposed to imply (lol..even beyond a History channel documentary :-).
Because my belief is that you shouldn’t complain if you don’t vote… I watched every (rude, sophomoric, petty, embarrassing, uninformative) presidential debate, forced myself to vote for the least-worst candidate, and waited for the results. The outcome was more disappointing to me than I’d imagined. A few things occur to me: Countries who vote for leaders in this connected era are now, more than ever making global choices with global consequences. Those global citizens didn’t get a vote.
Decentralized: this concept is often the hang up when explaining bitcoin/Bitcoin and even those of us who use it can observe the many ways in which it continually resists and gives in to organization. I semi-secretly observe it as experiment in free market capitalization. “Free to Choose” comes to mind often While exchanges go down, hashing power/hard forks get debated and most interesting: the loss of real competition in mining gear.
We are the exercise of a new type of “New World Order” often in raw real time…except that we are potentially forming or adding to the foundations of a decentralized global citizenship. You are not so much of a “they” to me my friends.
