4. So what’s the problem?
Why are they so angry as to
Immolate themselves in Tunisia?
To protest while doing homework
in Hong Kong?

5. Why are they so angry?

6. What do they want?
The demonstrations were precipitated by high unemployment, food inflation,
corruption,[10][11] a lack of freedom of speech and other political
freedoms[12] and poor living conditions.

7. Why don’t they have it already?

8. How did we get here?

9. Let’s remember, this is not new.

10. Specialization leads to special access
(regulatory capture)

11. Wives of Wall Street
* Waterfall TALF Opportunity
* Waterfall TALF Opportunity boasts a couple of
interesting names among its chief investors:
Christy Mack and Susan Karches.
* Christy is the wife of John Mack, the chairman of Morgan Stanley. Susan is the
widow of Peter Karches, a close friend of the Macks who served as president of
Morgan Stanley's investment-banking division
* With an upfront investment of $15 million, they quickly received $220 million in
cash from the Fed, most of which they used to purchase student loans and
commercial mortgages. The loans were set up so that Christy and Susan would
keep 100 percent of any gains on the deals, while the Fed and the Treasury
(read: the taxpayer) would eat 90 percent of the losses.
* “when the state is lending money at zero percent and the banks are turning
around and lending that money back to the state at three percent, how is that
different from just handing rich people money” – congressional aide

12. Goldman and “regulatory capture”
*Former bank examiner who is filing a wrongful termination lawsuit
against her employer, the Federal Reserve of New York, alleging
that she was fired for “not going soft” on financial giant Goldman Sachs
*Hired into the Federal Reserve to monitor systemically significant
financial institutions after the Dodd-Frank regulatory overhaul
*In her short 7 months working there, she witnessed the crony
foundation of their lax oversight atmosphere, leading to what experts
call “regulatory capture.”
*Tense 40 minute meeting with Segarra’s boss as he repeatedly attempts
to persuade her to revert her conclusion that Goldman was missing a
policy in regards to any conflicts of interest,
notably in this event, a conflict of interest
in a deal between Kinder Morgan and El Paso.
*The following week she was fired, her phone
confiscated, and she was marched out of the
Federal Reserve offices in lower Manhattan.

13. I think this century
will be the
separation of the
state and
everything.

14. Social change drives tech change
*From centralized to distributed
*From decision by dictat to decision by consensus
*From local to global
*From opaque to transparent
*1) Internet
*2) 3d Printing
*3) Currency
*4) ???

19. Crypto Ledgers as an OS
*Live contracts: Ethereum is a promising
application of programmability for Crypto
*“Real” work coins: The process of mining only needs “PROOF”
of work. The actual work itself is arbitrary. Mining can be
used for distributed parallel processing such as the BOINC
network of projects at Berkley.
*ND Coin: The CURRENT distributed mining network does more
computational work than Top 500 supercomputers
combined.*Mike Frank, Ph.D. MIT

21. 10 Trillion in “dead capital”

22. Joyce’s family are “Undeeded”
• This the house we own in the Philippines

stands on
• This is an example of the “dead capital”
that Hernando de Soto talks about
• Being able to get financing is critical for the
long term health of her family

23. The power of Transparency

After Science Experiment Goes Bad -- 4/26/13
*Nearly 200,000 people signed an online petition
protesting her arrest, and her name trended on
Twitter for a few days.
*Several heavily trafficked websites wrote about
her case, saying that she shouldn't face felony
charges for a science experiment gone bad
*Cleared of Charges of Setting Off a School
Explosion, Florida Honor Student Heads to Space
Camp -- 5/13/13
Kiera Wilmot

compassionate society
