What if all Delegates in the BitShares Ecosystem were to agree on a few absolutely imperative collaborative efforts in hopes of protecting each other in the case of legal entanglements with institutions that (although showing they do not deserve it) wish to have ultimate control over all human interaction? They would do this through their well established "legal" pathways and regulations. We can bet that when the system starts to really falter that crypto (not corruption of the current leadership) will be blamed--CryptoTerrorist is a term that will likely become common place as the powers that be try to push the buck onto those who are trying to fix the problems they created.
With that said, Delegates will be the first place for these institutions to attack...So wouldn't it be worth it for all delegates to sign on to give a small % of their tx fees to a fund for legal fees in the case that any delegate is so labeled and embroiled in mounds of legal consequence?
We could even ask users if they would like to increase their tx fees by a slight amount to ensure that the fund becomes robust as quickly as possible. Just a thought--please consider and give opinions below.
What do you mean CryptoTerrorists? Do you believe because we will be putting people out of jobs? Or that a hacker will hack the system? Or that the NSA will hack the system because they have corrupted PGP (Pretty good programming encryption) and cause a false flag? I have PGP from 30 years ago that the NSA does not have corrupted from a scientist. It is on CD.
I mean that right now markets are soaring at record heights and 95% of the population doesn't know the difference between fiat and money.
If(When) the economies around the world crash because of mismanagement and corruption from on high (Congress, for instance, is allowed to LEGALLY do insider trading (
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130416/08344222725/congress-quickly-quietly-rolls-back-insider-trading-rules-itself.shtml), those who are largely to blame due to their cocaine, hooker and power addictions are going to look for fall-guys.
Why not pin a collapsing stock market on cryptocurrency? Most people do not even know what it is and the media has already primed the pump with the whole "bitcoin paying for terrorism" thing: (

http://rt.com/usa/157552-defense-pentagon-bitcoin-terrorism/). And let's face it, decentralized exchanges that don't allow High Frequency Trading (HFT) or naked shorting? How do you think the market manipulators at JPMorgan and the other Top Banks are going to feel about that?
This technology is going to bring Direct Democracy to the people as well. Many people in positions of power will be out of the job because we will not need
them!
That is why we need legal teams, and PR teams. We need delegates that support projects that fix big problems we never thought it possible to fix. As for charity--BitShares has a DAC for that.
On Taxes...Why is it so hard to believe that good people can of their own accord uplift those in need? There are a great many good-hearted people out there who, if they received 20% more of their pay, would likely use it in ways that would uplift more people from poverty than government 1.0 (part f the Direct Democracy thing).
Without government we will not go back to Kings. We will go forward to Sovereign Individuals.
All wars are banker's wars (and they often fund both sides - at interest).
Yep... "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes its laws". ~Mayer Amschel Rothschild~
Why would we give them control of our money supply through regulatory framework when we have the opportunity to build society 2.0 and bring the world to a velvet revolution--where innovation jettison's us away from the problems we face instead of mass murder and theft?
