Just a reminder: It's not about getting rich. It's about restoring freedom.

Thanks for posting this, but I have to say, it wasn’t what I was looking for.

I know what Blockchain does at an extremely broad level, so, I need to educate myself on this at a more granular level.

And I am most definitely not into rap, so it is not going to connect with me that way. Well… I might have to re-phrase that. I did see a really funny and cool video a while back that compared Frederick Hayek and John Maynard Keynes, which was fabulous, but done in a rap format. So I guess I shouldn’t reject it out of hand.

I started a thread within the last month based on an American thinker article about how Trump could use tokens to raise cash that wouldn’t bankrupt him, or caused him to sell off his assets to meet the stupid fine, but I had never heard of it being used in this way, so I started a thread to ask people about it. I don’t think I got one single useful response out of it.

There was lots of Snark, lots of joking, but my fundamental question was: is the method being proposed by the author of the article something that is in any way, valid and commonly used, or was it a crackpot scheme?

Nobody answered the question, and that bothered me.

One of the things I really like about free Republic is that I learn a great deal from it, and I thought there might be plenty of people out there who felt the same way about this particular type of financial transaction… And knowledgeable people on this forum might be able to impart some of their knowledge in a serious way. It just didn’t really happen

I had to chalk it up it to some flaw in the way I asked the question.

These were the videos I saw, and I enjoyed them, so...I can't be totally against rap!
