I stand with Ukraine.
“given he and I have somewhat of a libertarian streak, this resonated with me immediately,”  he explained.

This kid (and his dad) clearly don't understand that allowing other people whatever they like, simply because they're a majority that agree (a.k.a "voting") is not only against libertarian principles, but also against moral principles.

I agree. Libertarians advocate personal freedom and autonomy. When the majority decides by voting what others should do, this is not libertarianism, even if the voting is free from fraud. Libertarians believe in individual rights, not in the rights of the majority. There's even a term in political science, Tyranny of the majority (or tyranny of the masses), for a situation when the majority of an electorate places its own interests above those in the minority.

I wish i could learn programming at the age of 14. Smiley
His new tool is called "Bitcoin Voice",but it`s developed for the bitcoin cash community. Huh
Should it be called Bitcoin Cash Voice,it would be less misleading.All the blockchain based content sharing platforms will be censorship free.It doesn`t matter if they are voting,video sharing or text content.
Anyway,this boy is a genius.

14-Year-Old Developer Builds Uncensorable Voting Platform Called ‘Bitcoin Voice’
Alex Pasfield, a fourteen-year-old developer who has been working on cryptocurrency projects created a new tool called ‘Bitcoin Voice,’ a platform that enables uncensored vote for topics within the bitcoin cash community. He has been coding since the age of nine.

Pasfield says that his father sparked his interest in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
“My dad had been teaching me programming at the time and then gave me insight into uncensorable, distributed, peer-to-peer, permission-less, global money systems, And given he and I have somewhat of a libertarian streak, this resonated with me immediately,”  he explained.
