This is excitiiiing!
First issue is set for THIS Friday 27 August 2021.
First a little bit about myself and my journey:
You can see my feeble attempts at my first bitcoin blog here.
And my first “Bitcoin Manifesto” was published on G+ (remember that!?") and then republished on Steemit here.
You see, I believe in Bitcoin.
Here is the first manifesto:
Howdy friends!
I am an author and creator and will be posting various things here.
What would be the most appropriate 1st post? How 'bout my Bitcoin Manifesto from 2013!
The Bitcoin Manifesto
23-NOV-2013...................1 BTC = 847.5 USD
I have a problem, my Bitcoins keep rising in value.
Or is it that the fiat currencies of the western world are actually sinking on the Sea of Keynes (hint >>> YES!)?
I predict Bitcoin will keep ‘rising’ as the U.S. and the EU compete to see who can destroy their money fastest.
I predict Bitcoin will rise so high in value it will be impossible to ‘cash-out’. [hence this post]
But the point is not to cash-out, or invest in Bitcoin and hold them;
the point is to USE Bitcoin, or simpler; use digital currencies.
Imagine a world with NO MIDDLEMAN(!) and no more inefficient corrupt institutions to siphon off your money before it gets to your help target (e.g. a family in Africa.)
Imagine a world where taxes really are voluntary.
Imagine .... the next time a president with a kill list, kills some civilians with a Hellfire missile, launched from a Predator drone, ALL paid for with our taxes — you just stop giving that president money? — stop giving him your power?
Imagine ... the next president who implements DOUBLE TAP simply does not receive our money?
Imagine ...inheriting x-amount of dollars in Bitcoins, and the government cannot touch it and steal 'inheritance tax' from you.
IMAGINE ... We can deliver our children from debt.
Right now we are enslaving nations and generations of children into our system of rolling debt.
IMAGINE STARTING A CLUB AND THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT INVITED, and there’s not a damned thing they can do about it.
Imagine ... the effects, if all of us started putting our paychecks in our Bitcoin wallet instead of a bank?
Well the powers that be already have, and they are shitting their pants.
That’s why they closed down the silkroad, that’s why they tried to close down Mt.Gox, but couldn’t — all they could do was ‘hit’ the entry and exit points; their Wells Fargo account in the US.
The beauty is, we don’t even have to put our whole paycheck into a Bitcoin wallet, even if we just put one half or one fourth of our paycheck in a Bitcoin wallet, it’s that much more that THEY DO NOT HAVE AND CANNOT TOUCH.
The Path:
We must choose this path now— right now! — and it will force the situation.
The more people who do this, the faster the government and slave-holders and banks will react. They’ll make laws and legislation, and when that doesn't work they’ll try to forbid it.
And when that doesn't work they will literally try to force us to work for them and abolish all forms of money —your life, equated in work-hour-units, will be held in their central registry; they will call it ‘money’ and it will be only usable with their card or online with their ID given to you (SSN anyone?).
(Sweden is already trying to abolish paper money; their government calls it ‘dirty’ money!)
The situation will come to a head, and it’s coming soon.
Kaizen:
All we have to do is take little steps in the right direction, on this path,
and we start the Win-Win situation.
Win-Win:
The magnificent thing about all this, is that we are now in a Win-Win situation.
If we take this path, we dismantle the monster. We win.
If the monster tries to fight us, it will DISMANTLE ITSELF. We win.
Because the only way to really stop digital currency - is to ‘turn off’ the internet.
Can you turn off the internet?
Well yes you can, but that will at the same time kill the monster that created it.
The only way for the government to really combat digital currency is to dismantle itself.
Remember, the internet was created by DARPA and the Military Industrial Complex.
The illuminati, the Power brokers, slave owners, our masters, the powers that be, the military industrial complex, whatever you want to call it, I call it the monster — they will be forced to dismantle themselves — because it truly is OUR power — in work-hour-dollars —— that is how they equate OUR LIVES.
And boy are they gonna scream as they see ‘their’ power slipping away - like sand through their fingers.
Magic:
But that’s not magic, you want to know where the real magic kicks in?
Every CEO, conservative, liberal, latter day pot smoking hippie and even gay marriage proponents can be unified in our will to take OUR power back and we won’t even have to change our lifestyle to do it.
Starting a Bitcoin wallet is EASIER than starting a PayPal account -- you don't even need a bank!
Now that’s magic!
We will still have our cars and corporations, there will still be rich and poor, but WE will have absolute say over OUR power , our money, our lives in work-hour-units (soon to be the unit of our choice).
Digital currency is not a paradigm change - it is a real revolution.
This is a great problem, I LOVE this problem, it is a Win-Win situation, and it feels good to be on the path...
This is a gift:
But we are not receiving it, because we are blind.
It’s on the table, and all we have to do is take it, but we don’t see it ... until someone who sees comes and tells you; “hey there's a gift on that table right smack dab in front of you, all you have to do is reach out and take it!”
p.s. Yes I have John-Lennonitis, but in a Libertarian kind of way.
p.p.s. Because of the nature of Steemit, I am going to use one account and -not- split my topics into different steemit profiles.
If you think of it as 1 author with many pen names then it will make more sense.
As you can see above I admitted to having “John Lennon-itis”.
The year now is 2021 and Bitcoin and blockchain technology have not only proven themselves, but they have also proven the power of first-mover advantage and…
Proven that Blockchain and cryptocurrency are “…like the internet in the ‘90s…”
Soon people will be using bitcoin or some sort of blockchain technology and won’t even be aware of it.
VISA has already made their first transactions “on chain.”
Big players like JP Morgan are already developing their own blockchains for Bank to Bank transactions.
And the list goes on and on…
I’ve been in this space for a while:
Bitcoin has empowered me.
It hasn’t made me a millionaire (that’s another story — and I will {link} to it when it’s done.) but I have seen the change coming.
And it IS coming — whether we want it or not.
Remember the Luddites?
They didn’t like technology, and the changes it was bringing them, so they went to the factories and smashed them up.
That’s what is happening right now, in more ways than one.
Welcome to the revolution!
