Editor's Notes
- #2: parallel financial system inclusion vs exclusion individual control vs institutions risks
- #3: how many adults dont have a formal bank account? 2.5 billion Only about one out of every five adults living on less than $2 (U.S.) per day has a formal accountthat means nearly 80 percent of poor adults are excluded from the formal sector. While accounts are nearly universal in high-income economies, with 89 percent of adults reporting that they have an account at a formal financial institution, less than half that number of adults in developing economies is banked: only 41 percent. For women in developing countries, the situation is worse: Only 37 percent have formal accounts, compared to 46 percent of men.

- #9: innovation at the fringes - individuals and small companies can contribute no investment or licenses needed sum of its part inclusion: on the blockchain, no one know you are a fridge cost & speed not as good as the internet huge improvement over bills
- #10: Mining Cartel: Bitcoin-mining is now so specialized that it is only available to groups with the financial strength to get custom hardware made. I'm not believing in cloud mining or even the sell of mining hardware. It is almost always more profitable to jun rust the miners yourself if you are able to produce them. Ghash has been close to 51% of the mining power a few times. They have purposefully not crossed that line, but probably pooled power with another mining pool. This situation is very similar to a market oligopoly, where a few powerful players agree on a product price in advance. Bitcoin mining is a cartel. Power Law: A few accumulate the most. libertarian dream proven wrong. Volatility: price is psychology self referential fixed supply
