    People’s main complaint about decentralization is that it’s difficult. They’re right. Centralization is easy. Decentralization is hard. Security is hard. Privacy is hard. The UX is hard. If you don’t get the idea of self-sovereignty then these solutions won’t make sense to you.

    I was just handed a 479-page tax bill a few hours before the vote. One page literally has hand scribbled policy changes on it that can’t be read. This is Washington, D.C. at its worst. Montanans deserve so much better.
