My letter to Tomasz Lem, son of St. Stan Lem
-
Dear Tomasz,
_the situation in our Feathercoin community came to resemble so much that of Ijon Tichy on his Seventh Voyage, that I feel that providence itself is bidding me to invite you to our community.
Jokes aside, Feathercoin is a no. 3 decentralized currency after Bitcoin and Litecoin, and no. 1 decentralized currency with an accountable BDFL – Peter Bushnell, IT officer at Brasenose College, Oxford. We could say that Feathercoin is 3 years behind Bitcoin in price, adoption as well as inflation schedule (52 million coins out of 332 total is out atm.) There will not be an infinite number of successful decentralized currencies, and we cannot be sure how successful Feathercoin will be, but we are sure that at the moment, it is greatly underpriced. For that reason, it is our time now to invite value creators to participate in our attempt to pull ourselves away from the legalized theft, which is fractional-reserve banking, as practiced in the recent decades. Your father is recognized as an excellent value creator with propensity towards industrial manufacturing, as well as unparalleled cultural and evolutionary awareness that few contemporary philosophers / futures scientists can match.
I am hereby inviting you to our community at www.feathercoin.com. Should you decide to enable Feathercoin donations to your website, I also have an inaugural donation of 1000 FTC prepared for you. Since this is an open letter which will itself be posted in our forums, I provide the link to your site for the benefit of our readers:
Finally, let me say that Feathercoin offers opportunities, but also requires work to be done for its optimum impact on our common future. As Albert Speer Jr. said, there is time when people get tired of being treated as a son of somebody else. Given the immense scientific contribution of your father, a futures scientist publishing under the guise of fiction, you had a daunting duty to ensure the optimum impact of your father’s work on our common future. I am sure that you have a creative genius of your own, and I am presenting you the possibility of participation in Feathercoin community as a way of employing it in an interesting project, or perhaps just a way of enjoying the prophetic power of the Star Diaries.
