The article promotes totalitarian government, caps on wealth, a social credit system and completely misses the point of cryptocurrencies. The right title would be “Let’s turn every country into China”. No thanks.

The open source code is at https://github.com/Intercoin

Documentation at https://community.intercoin.org

Interviews with economists and regulators at https://youtube.com/c/intercoin

Sound money, communities, similar to what this guy is talking about — but an autonomous and libertarian version of that.

Because if crypto doesn’t step up and become actually adopted and useful, then we are going to live in a world where megacorps like Amazon/Facebook, as well as your friendly Federal Government, issue the currency and know everything about you and centrally plan who can pay and who can be … shall we say gently excluded from the economy due to their rating.

This builds on my earlier work on https://github.com/Qbix/Platform to build an open source alternative to Web 2.0 platforms like Facebook, Twitter etc.

EDIT: I am curious. For a decade, I do the work to prevent the otherwise inevitable outcome of centralized control, freely give away the code, document it publicly, make public interviews with standards bodies, regulators, economists to get it right, spend a ton of my own money and time to get it implemented (without raising any VC etc.) but then every time I would merely mention it on HN, would always get heavily downvoted by people who prefer not to say a single word as to why. I can understand if people give me feedback, but they prefer to silently downvote. OK, what's your better plan, what have you done to prevent this outcome? Why do you take actions to bury workable solutions to avert this situation?
