Genius Hour Ideas

Of all social constructs, I am most baffled by the American creation of the Federal Reserve. The British not allowing the Colonialists to print their own currency, instead made them use British currency that immediately called for a debt in stamps. The Federal Reserve is doing the exact same thing, except the debt is paid in the Federal Income tax, which I believe was not constitutionally passed. I want to study why American culture has allowed the Federal Reserve to take power and how it has impacted our financial system and larger culture. It is against the fundamental morality of the nation. I'm interested in this topic because it affects everyone. Most of my activist efforts are focused on one identity or issue. All people should see that the American government should take back the central bank. Still, since the removal of the gold standard, that money, as "legal tender," is technically meaningless. I believe in crypto-currencies. Block chain programs, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, assign value to server space in the larger super computer. All of the currency has value in their crowd-sourced, massive, and still growing super computers. Currency has been digitized to such a degree already that converting to a crypto-currency solution would be simple. I'm torn between this idea and studying sex work. Why do people pay for sex? My work with the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation has shown me that the way to end exploitation is to end the high demand for it. Moreover I want to be able to help the problem I choose. I cannot end the Federal Reserve, but I can have open and constructive conversations with soon to be college-aged men.
