“The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them.”

-Hal Finney

How are you planning on allocating those bitcoin distributions?

Do you have the context for the Finney quote? Apparently from a set of released emails:

The larger context, from a 1992 Cypherpunks email:

"Here we are faced with the problems of loss of privacy, creeping computerization, massive databases, more centralization - and [David] Chaum offers a completely different direction to go in, one which puts power into the hands of individuals rather than governments and corporations. The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them."

Argument by unsupported assertion is ... relatively weak.

The full quote supports my assertion even more. It’s a beautiful quote and extremely relevant today, even more than when he said it.

I don't think I can agree. Though I might have once.

There's a fundamental misunderstanding of power, its dynamics, and technology's relationship to it.

Now how do I explain to my mom that her conspiracies do occur, the influential wealthy groups do exist and lobby governments, but that they have nothing to do with the independent data mining and data brokering companies which anyone can start right now

Nothing decentralized will ever remain so if humans are involved.
