The whole debit ceiling thing and government lockdown threat and all is just a show, without any meaning. Of course the ceiling is raised once again, as they have done 78 times before. Why would the politicians shut down the government and cancel their own wages?
And I hate to say it, but the blockchain is not a solution whatsoever in the current situation. Its no remedy to create more currencies out of the blue and distrubute them among the people without producing a substancial value to back them. And letting computers run or chit chat on the web has no substancial value.
So nothing will really change before there is a complete default/collapse of the old system structures. And the currencies after that are probably bread and eggs and ham.
