We are missing out on the extraordinary potential of our technology.

We are missing out on the extraordinary potential of our technology. Rather than getting trapped by the techno bros, we can individualize our experiences. Solar, or wind, can take us off being tied to a grid. Solid state Batteries are just over the horizon.
Central bank backed digital currencies can remove our dependence on banks, especially on their credit cards as payments could process individual to individual. I could support a public stock offering directly. No broker needed; unless that's what I chose. I could loan funds directly to individuals along with thousands of others minimizing personal risk while expanding funding options.
We can take advantage of the fact that digitally we, the %99, can collectively make the %1 irrelevant.

But, just as there is incredible resistance to renewables energy, the resistance to personalization of currencies will be extreme.
