Hi Hive account@adriangee, I see free competitive enrichment as just as important a liberty as the right to elementary means for survival - a philosophy that implies the necessary existence of a basic universal income, to put it briefly. To achieve this, we need, inter alia, a currency with a stable value relative to production of those elementary means. Without that we cannot resolve this conundrum of being a capitalist and a commie at the same time. But even without achieving a fair and equitable distribution of basic means, a currency like that can at the very least serve to secure the purchasing power of pensions. And I am working on a SmartCoin with that critical property. Should you be interested, there is an introduction to that on my blog. Thanks for the perspective underscored by your post! Regards.
