The crypto-currencies have shown that we don't have to be totally dependent on the private/govt. banks - central banks - to make money & use it as a medium of exchange.
The solar energy kits have also shown that the government/private-owned and costly electricity we use at our various homes can be replaced with a solar kit that can generate pretty much the same amount of energy AND we don't have to continue paying the enterprises the huge amount of monies for electricity.<p>Is the QEG project (https://hopegirl2012.wordpress.com/) pragmatic enough to be explored by the masses like they explored the crypto-currencies & the solar-kits projects out there?
