Interesting article in the Boston Globe this week about a black woman who purchased land in 1670 – a couple centuries before it was common and a time when black people were enslaved by a system of laws supported by the State.
Zipporah Potter’s story is unusual. The next step in fairness was the elimination of laws which encouraged discrimination.
What will come in the next generation? Technology which truly makes race, gender, religion and other factors impossible to be barriers for ownership of property.
Bitcoin is a technology which knows no color, race or religion.
