The Underlying Problem with Young Americans For Liberty Derrell McIver Warning: This article includes discussion and description of sexual harassment. “Political power is not being chummy with politicians. To effect real change, you have to threaten a politician's power.” -anonymous This is a very difficult article for me to write. Going into college, I did not know how of any political organization that shared my values of Liberty. That was until I helped in the founding of a Young Americans for Liberty chapter and became a dues-paying-member. After a brief interest in the Libertarian Party, I realized that YAL and its associated organizations were the best chance we have at seeing Liberty in politics in our lifetimes. Some people will read this article and call it “cancel culture.” That is not the intent. For that very reason, I have not included the name of the sexual harasser. Instead he will be given the name ‘John’. My goal here is to call out the leaders
Heads up to the SEC: You parasites are officially on notice.
As anyone who has been following along at The Agora or The New Libertarian is well aware - we here are of the conviction that the coming tokenization of securities and assets will successfully disintermediate FINRA. A while back I wrote this article explaining how tokens are to the SEC as 3D-printers are to the ATF, or cryptocurrencies are to the Federal Reserve.
With this in mind, I decided to take the SLP token creator in Electron Cash for a spin. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered that the process is so simple, that in comparison, it makes assembling IKEA furniture seem like splitting the atom. For detailed instructions, check out this wonderful article by Jamie Redman or this recent tutorial by Roger Ver.
Anyway, in less than 10 minutes I had created 10.5 million KonkinCoin, with ticker symbol “SEK3” to honor the late founder of agorism and moved them all into my Badger wallet.
The first thing to stand out (other than ease of use), is the historical significance that’s so easily lost to most casual observers. Entrepreneurs no longer need to trudge through an expensive registration process with the SEC. In fact, the burdensome cost of compliance incentivizes market actors to move their business from the white market to the anarchic, black and grey. Moreover, those who are already participating in the counter-economy can now access additional capital by taking their ventures public.
One point of irony: After creating KonkinCoin, I was reviewing Redman’s article when I noticed something interesting-
Someone had already created an SLP token with ticker symbol “SEKIII” prior to my creation of KonkinCoin (ticker: SEK3)! You know the BCH community is healthy when there are already two competing tokens to honor the late founder of agorism!
Such exciting stuff! Leave your SLP address in the comments to receive a bunch of KonkinCoin!
Great for anyone who wants to create a local/alternative currency.
ReplyDeleteStoked you has such a positive experience and are sharing it with others! That's exactly what this technology needs right now.
ReplyDeleteYes! It's still incredibly early, but the "tokembrian explosion" (to quote a friend) is certainly coming!
DeleteMaybe I'll make a Rothbard coin soon. Send me some tokens please!
