[FRIAM] Get ready for Blockchain

[Steven A Smith]

Glen -

And now you sound a little like Kurt Vonnegut's satire: Harrison 
Bergeron <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron>

    /In the year 2081, amendments to the Constitution dictate that all
    Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter,
    better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The
    Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing
    citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful,
    radios inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for
    the strong or athletic./

I know you are 'just poking' and I guess I'm poking too!
