The blockchain defined in plain language

The blockchain is a list of Bitcoin transfers, synchronized on 6000+ computers.  Each Bitcoin transfer consists of an amount, time it was transferred, who it was from and to, and a description.

The blockchain is a half-ledger, because it doesn't show what was purchased.

Since the description is only 40 characters, most companies store a reference # on the blockchain referring to data stored on their own computers.

How to retire the national debt

1. Create a "Credit Assurance Bureau" at the US Treasury to take custody of the T-bonds (one bond at a time and at the owner's discretion).

2. As the US Treasury takes custody of the debt, a "Federal Credit Receipt" (FCR) is created to represent the obligation, verify ownership, and make sure it is free of all encumbrances (clear title).

3. Each State creates a "Credit Review Commission" to oversee the assets' distribution for the benefit of the local economy.

Example: Social Security Administration turns in a few of their T-bonds to the US Treasury and receives an FCR.  That FCR is redeemed for shares in a Texas Agricultural/Commodities Market in Amarillo.

I have presented it to both Texas Senators' Regional Directors here in Austin (John Cornyn and Ted Cruz).  They have forwarded the plan to DC.  This will bring up to $1 trillion to each State.  Texas could become the clearing house for the $200 trillion global debt market, as well.

Puerto Rico's debt crisis

If Puerto Rico had had a "Credit Receipt" option, then Templeton & Oppenheimer might have turned in their bonds to the US Treasury. Once the Treasury verified the bonds were free of all encumbrances and verified ownership, the asset would be registered. The obligation rests with the PR government, as expressed through the inhabitants' organization. The right is in custody of the Treasury and terms can be negotiated.

Turning the national debt into a spendable asset

The Robin Hood legislation is designed to retire Treasury bonds and redeem them for other assets via a "Federal Credit Receipt" (FCR).  The redemption goes through channels (State & local Commissions), rather than financial predators swapping assets for USD and creating inflation.

The legislation has 3 parts:

1. State legislation to create a "Credit Review Commission" as part of the State Treasury.

2. Federal legislation to define a "Federal Credit Receipt" and a division of the US Treasury.

3. Constitutional Amendment separating money creation from Federal authority.

The good:

- $19 trillion to spend on the economy and infrastructure

- Provide an outlet for retiring the national debt

- Maintains the bond and derivatives market

- Prevents inflation and allows Treasury and Federal Reserve oversight

- Protects against financial predators

- Maintains the value of the dollar

- Creates jobs around the country

- Supports the military's need for financing

The bad:

- facing the psychological denial of being in debt

The "Credit Receipt" applies to all debt instruments, so $200+ trillion.  This would work to solve Puerto Rico's recent debt crisis.  I am hoping Texas can catch up as it can become a clearing house for $200 trillion as we transition from debt-based currencies on planet earth.  We are currently in a slow-motion Venezuelan Bolivar situation, and I am trying to warn and provide the solution.
