Sorry I’ve been busy and to be frank, I got to reduce talking in linked in. It’s too addictive.

How to control abuse, crime, etc. of citizen trading?

The same way you control abuse, crime, of stock trading. In short, you don’t unless on highly exceptional circumstances.

Who have the power to issue citizenship? Well, we can start with those that are in power in the first place. The people in democratic country. The sultan in monarchy.

How Should We Define Wealth?

People often ask about the amount of money you own. The thing is, ownership is a very vague concept that simply add confusion. What does it mean that I own my body, for example? Can I smoke dope? No. So what’s the point?

Rather than concentrating on ownership, we should concentrate on control ship.

Why dictators live an opulent life? Because they CONTROL, not own, great wealth.

Back to dope. Do I control my body? The answer is scientific. No. I can’t smoke dope and get away with it. That means I don’t.

Facts of (Political) Life

People act based on their beliefs.

Certain beliefs are beneficial for certain people. For example, Machiavelli argued that a prince need to be feared and loved. In a twisted sense, “fair” simply means beliefs that whoever screw me get screwed and whoever bless me got blessed. Somehow.

Because of that, people always maintain the beliefs that they are fair, honorable, feared, nice, and good to the point of decepting themselves.

People are stupid. Not in a sense that they’re idiot. Most of us are programmers, engineers, free thinkers, etc. We don’t know politic. I don’t when I was young. I barely know the surface of it now.
