Self Governance: Bitcoin + Beef
summary
Panel argues Bitcoin and local investment solve a liquidity crisis in U.S. beef by moving value back to land and herds, not subsidies. Cites 27,000 farms lost per year and a median rancher age of 69, describes building a processing plant harvesting 50–75 head/week, microprocessing consulting, herd shares and direct‑to‑consumer storefronts, and a 250‑producer network using decentralized payments to fund vertical integration and restore local supply chains.
