"I am creating an economic simulation to give people a first-hand experience of what it would be like to live in a world without the systemic use of force." - Ross Ulbricht
The implementation may have been imperfect or naïve, but the goal of the Silk Road was to further a peaceful, voluntary world.
That's the ultimate goal of the libertarian movement, and of cryptocurrency: a voluntary and peaceful world.
There is so much more nuance involved, and this is so much harder of a goal than many of us realized. And in some ways, the world's structure will always kind of look like today with courts, police, laws, and so on.
But I believe that by following this vision, we can make our world a vastly better place.
We're doing it. Thanks Ross! 🫡
