It turns out that there&#x27;s a pretty easy fix for this. People have to start caring how the money they&#x27;re accepting has flowed through the economy. You don&#x27;t need a government to sanction bad actors. The people can do it on their own.<p>Money is power. Anonymous money prevents you from choosing which power you&#x27;d like to submit to. Decentralized money prevents governments from restricting power. Let&#x27;s keep the decentralization and remove the anonymity so you can reject power you find undesirable.<p>The first application of this mechanism will probably be restoring our democracies by rejecting the power of money to influence them. It won&#x27;t be the last application—I think we&#x27;ll use it to enforce any rule that has a broad consensus behind it. The boundaries of the enforcement will be the same as the boundaries of our economy: there aren&#x27;t any. We&#x27;ll have global governance without a global government.<p>This is merit capitalism. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;meritcapitalism.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;meritcapitalism.com&#x2F;</a><p>Zcash is cool, but if you accept it as payment, you&#x27;re making yourself powerless.
