cypherpunks write code; if people can be persuaded it's in their interests to use that code, we can unilaterally take back our self-sovereignty, and side-step the self-proclaimed elites, with misguided zeal pulling the world deeper into the abyss, the dystopian digital dark-ages.

as a sample of one #bitcoin'er i identify with the plebs, and systematically reject the confused central-planning of hubris-fueled self-proclaimed elites. i believe in bottom up, robust design bases that work, reject the master architect hypothesis:
Contradiction between my love for things like decentralization and democracy, and my realization that in practice I agree with intellectual elites more than "the people" on many (though definitely far from all) specific policy issues.

reality is too complex: robust systems evolve like biological organisms, by real-world incremental experience built on empirically-ruggedized bases. aircraft design evolves via empirical safety. no room for ego: human intelligence is complexity limited - fear & avoid complexity.

that's a really nice infographic.
The genius of Satoshi was to embed a difficulty adjustment into the machine that ensures that the motor won’t stop. The difficulty adjustment is what makes the Bitcoin system an autopoietic system: capable of reproducing and maintaining itself.
