Any issue that a government is either unwilling, incapable or unable to address to the community’s satisfaction can be resolved by the community itself in a fully transparent, documented, participatory manner.

Just as Bitcoin is designed to bypass banks, PhD shows communities how to bypass the upper layers of their governments and self-govern into efficient, self-sustainable entities.


Using a mix of existing methods and technologies along with open ended, open source self-governance management systems that expand and adjust to the needs of any organization/region, people can directly tackle issues, run projects and operations that sustain and grow them and their communities.

From infrastructure to policy, communities can direct themselves and become wiser in the process.
