1/ There are no other constitutional rights in substance without freedom to transact Being meaning to write this for 6 months, but the Canadian response to the trucker protests is illustrating this so vividly, that today is the day.

There is time for us to create a better, happier world, but we can’t sit back and expect a miracle. We each have actions we must take, by living our lives meaningfully — helping others whenever we can and making every effort to do them no harm.

Religion is about cultivating a more peaceful mind, so it’s disappointing if it becomes a source of conflict. Our traditions share a common message of love and compassion, patience and tolerance. If we also remember the advice about forgiveness, there’ll be no basis for conflict.

I am one of the 7 billion human beings alive today. We each have a responsibility to think about humanity and the good of the world because it affects our own future. We weren’t born on this planet at this time to create problems but to bring about some benefit.

Some people consider the practice of love and compassion is only related to religious practice and if they are not interested in religion they neglect these inner values. But love and compassion are qualities that human beings require just to live together.

Some economic patterns recur, inexactly, less than once a generation. These are when the greatest fortunes are made and lost.

If you measure bitcoin's success by the approval of the incumbent and obsolete industry it replaces, you're doing it wrong

Cryptocurrencies are the best form of money not because they are hard to track, but because they are impossible to censor. (from reddit)

The world has struggled to realize that Bitcoin as "virtual currency" was not novel. The US dollar has been a virtual currency far longer.
