    • To earn xx coins
    • To help build David Chaum's vision of a decentralized world
    • To contribute to a promising project
    • To undo the centralization of the internet by big tech companies
    • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
    • To reverse the political centralization of legal, police, and military organizations which favor the wealthy and powerful
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? The basis of decentralization is that the nodes make their own decisions and have the same capabilities.
    As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the xx network platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. Privacy by default, a fixed and secure cryptocurrency that supports decentralization, democratic governance, high performance and no point of failure - it's all about the xx Network.
    Privacy by Default is a goal of the xx network Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? Privacy should be built into every system by default, because its absence will lead to the destruction of the individual.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? If the quantum computer is stable enough, the decentralised systems would really be in danger.
