My motivation for working on Bitcoin is actually several decades old. In one of my first jobs we had some consultants visit us explaining all the ins and outs of a retirement plan. As most people young and naive do, I signed up for monthly payments. When less than a year later the company went under I tried to recover the funds paid and to my surprise there was only maybe 10% left of it. It was supposed to appreciate in value, so I didn't understand.

This was the beginning of a gruelling journey through systems intentionally made complex and people that give greed a bad name. I wrote much more about this in a longer post here.

The end result is that we live in a world where the top 1% received 82% of the wealth generated in 2017 (source). A world where the majority work to make the elite rich isn't a world that is healthy. We, as a human species, can create such beauty and such amazing progress. Yet, here we are still working around 40 hours a week in a menial job and little prospects of improvement. Robots "taking over our jobs" are a lot less frightening prospect when we stop having to give 82% of our income away.

Something has to change, and I believe we can make that change with Bitcoin Cash.

My dream

I love Bitcoin as an idea and as something that might be able to give each of us more control over our own finances. It allows us to benefit from the wealth we create, instead of having to give it away. But unfortunately this is hard to apply to today's society. I can talk to a store owner to pay in Bitcoin Cash, but I can't offer a point-of-sale software. I may suggest people use a bitcoin-ATM, but there are only a small amount of companies that create those. The list goes on, the problem is real.

Something odd is going on if our goal is decentralisation, but practically all real solutions we advertise to the world require companies which ship closed-source software.
