Read Dan's write-up on CoinJournal.net.
Decred is a cryptocurrency with a hybrid Pow/PoS consensus algorithm that aims to build on the success and principles of Bitcoin to extend sovereignty beyond the realm of monetary policy. Founder Jake Yocom-Piatt worked on Bitcoin as early as 2013, and created Decred in 2016.
Sovereignty refers to the ability of individuals to exercise control over their own lives and is arguably a founding tenet of cryptocurrency. Some would argue that profiteering and rent-seeking have come to overshadow this key principle as "hot money" has arrived in crypto, leading to a splintering within the crypto community between "investors" and sovereignty enthusiasts.
