What do Satoshi Nakamoto and the Anti-federalists who influenced our Constitution have in common? Both believed in decentralized power. The Constitution is intended to decentralize political power in the same way the block chain is intended to decentralize financial power. In both systems, there is a final official decision, but the power to make it is distributed. I see my guns as something of a Bitcoin miner for political power. Each one is very weak. I could live my entire life without seeing a single reward, and I could never defeat a pool. But it's important none the less. Widely distributed arms equal widely distributed political power. The security of a free state, and indeed the block chain, demands that every participant contribute to decentralization.
