Dr. Wilson, Ike, your Project 2028 blueprint masterfully addresses democratic decentralization but overlooks Bitcoin as its essential financial cornerstone. As a non-political, mathematically-secured asset inherently resistant to centralization, Bitcoin provides the economic foundation your decentralization objectives require.
The current administration's potential embrace of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve paradoxically plants the seeds of their own undoing. This technology simultaneously serves as infrastructure and symbol in your democratic renewal vision - redistributing financial power while proving decentralized systems outperform centralized alternatives at scale. Bitcoin becomes your strategic cavalry for achieving genuine democratic decentralization.
Bitcoin alone possesses this revolutionary potential - no other cryptocurrency can match it. Beyond gold, oil, and fiat, Bitcoin represents the peace-coin that could ultimately defeat the military-industrial complex's war-driven profit machine. This is the decentralization champion your blueprint needs - a perfect ally for your vision of pluralism and peace.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful—and thought-provoking—note. I genuinely appreciate your taking the time to engage so substantively with the Project 2028 blueprint, and I have to say, your argument for Bitcoin as both infrastructure and symbol of decentralized civic renewal is a compelling one.
You've hit on an area where I am quite neophyte.
You’ve definitely piqued my interest.
Your framing of Bitcoin not just as a financial asset, but as a strategic cornerstone for pluralist re-architecture, aligns with so many of the deeper aims I’ve been working through—decentralized trust, resilience over rigidity, transparency over control.
The way you frame it as the “peace-coin,” a systemic counter to war-driven centralization and extraction… I’ll admit, that hit hard. That’s exactly the kind of systems-thinking we need more of right now.
I’d really love to hear more from you on this—especially how you see Bitcoin operationalizing within civic or democratic infrastructure. How might it be built into governance scaffolding, not just as a currency, but as a trust mechanism? What role might it play in localizing economic sovereignty or disrupting monopolized systems of political finance?
I'd love to hear and learn more! I can see real synergy between what you’re building and what I’m trying to articulate with Project 2028 and the broader Compound Security framework.
Also: Go Bulldogs, indeed! :-)
Appreciate you, Vince—and looking forward to learning more.
Interesting concept here. I understand the viewpoint as a "peace-coin;" however, one thing we must remember is that while that may be the intention there will always be someone looking to corrupt that thought process.
RE: Protect 2028, I like most of this, but we will need hard line numbers for a budget. We cannot even get a balanced budget these days. That said we would need to recreate an incentive structure that can compete with the private sector in tech. My concern is that we continue putting individuals in positions that do not have a solid understanding of the space they're working in. E.g Texas education has people creating science curriculums with vocabulary words and concepts that are not even remotely close to concepts in the professional space.
Also, I would say add "Enduring" to Project 2028 -- Enduring Project 2028. This framework will take years.... to make happen where as the Project 2025 has was written in such a way that it is achievable within the 4 year administration.
