In a true capitalist society, everything is fair game. Fair being a word that is often thrown around and used lightly.

Everything has a price, and you can sell anything if you try hard enough.

You can't reinvent the wheel, the wheel is too simple; sure you can re-brand it - but at the end of the day, people can tell it's still a wheel.

The real money isn't in wheels, or housing, or even shops for that matter. The real money is in the wolds of law, finance and technology.

A group of powerful Japanese investors and CEOs are sitting around a huge, round boardroom table.

It was the final step in their plan to finally break into the finance industry - possibly even overhaul it.

> *"With control over the worlds monetary systems, we will all become huge players on an international scale."*

The central figure touted.

The rest clapped profusely and roared with triumph.

> *"By convincing the public that they have an alternative to the banks that have ever so spectacularly failed them, we will not only be offering a service; we will also be taking money away from the banking industry to line our own pockets! If we weren't already running the banks I'd probably be even more excited!"* He joked

Now the other board-members were hollering and slapping the fine oak table with excitement. Men who would usually remain composed and formal were giggling and hugging each other - no enthusiasm was spared.

> *"Today is the day that we sell blocks, bytes, ledgers and code - packaged in the form of freedom, individuality and resilience!"*
