Bitcoin in Unprecedented Trouble: What Just Happened ?

What a silly comment. It’s clear from your username what your attitude is towards progress and innovation. Calling billions of people stupid - trademark narcissist. I wish Hackernoon brought back comment moderation, or perhaps some way for writers to control foolish input. 

Why Treating Your Internet Friends With Respect Matters: A Look at HackerNoon's Comment Policy

Is there any way to delete comments as the writer? I have run into trouble with trolls who make lots of erroneous comments on my page. Most of what they are saying is nonsense but they are not interested in hearing the truth or any kind of engagement. I had Townhall mode off. 

Bitcoin Adoption & Planetary Sovereignty - One And The Same?

I agree. Lots of issues with BTC. And security agencies (which are really surveillance agencies) like the FBI own at least 200,000 in confiscated BTC. 

\
But on balance, all things considered, it’s still 1000x better than the manipulated fiat system, which is used to fund wars, global surveillance, and a whole lot of other weird stuff. US government in its existing format is also completely bankrupt and dead. The next round of money printing will kill it off entirely. 

\
I like Monero and physical gold/silver. There is also a new company called Kinesis Money offering tokenized gold/silver with a debit card for everyday purchases. But it endorses KYC. 

\
$200M is nothing for a financially sovereign economy. It’s worth it. 

Dive Into the World of HackerNoon's Free Writing Templates

It’s an annoying nightmare. Why can’t I just login and start writing? 

Crypto Versus the Government

Super article, great to see high quality posts syndicated across domains. Really ups the quality of the internet. Keep it up!

The Metaverse of 5 Senses & How Distributed Ledgers Help The Soul

Yes, have you heard of trends and patterns? The Metaverse will take up more of our senses in the same way that the Internet took up more of our time.  Distributed ledgers have created gigantic economies that people work in. They are an excellent alternative to legacy systems, that are currently crumbling. There are tradeoffs, of course, but that’s called life. 

\
Are you one of those people that expect everything for free, and expect to pay no fees whatsoever, for anything?

How to Make Money With Crypto, and Keep It - The Definitive Guide

Of course. But nobody does, and why would they? The IRS can’t keep up with it/track crypto expenditure. That’s aside from the fact that the IRS is a criminal organization that will shortly be disbanded, which is an entirely different conversation. 

Why I Dream Of A One World Government & New World Order

Thanks! Times are certainly changing. I just moved to Mexico, things are a lot more chilled out here. I actually avoid media for the large part, makes me depressed and destroys independent, creative thinking. 🤔  Guess I have to strike a balance between staying informed and staying positive. 

I agree. Though the ‘immediate threats’ are largely fantasies conducted by the media/deep state. It’s either the Chinese taking all the jobs, the Russian invasion, the new virus, Brexit. Soon it will be aliens. They are quite inventive. 

\
Small scale first (US cities and states are looking into this). When we have sovereign states and cities, we can look into a kind of coalition based on uniform goals, loosely speaking. Kind of like what the US was supposed to be, and what the UN was supposed to be. Baby steps. Individual empowerment, state/city empowerment, national empowerment, international empowerment. 

\
It will all start by a new constitution protecting digital rights. Only when the atom, the individual, is protected, can the larger layers operate. Right now, we have no rights, thus there is no real country that upholds the rights of the individuals. 

\
Maybe the DAO could have ‘representatives’ or a smaller number of skilled professionals to tackle. But all individuals would have a choice to remove this power and to make decisions if they so choose. But baby steps! 

Yes, it’s not about enforcing universal standards (which is basically what banks, governments, are about). There is certainly a lot to figure out. But I don’t see why we can’t do it with some intelligent thought and planning. Look at how big and complex the existing systems are, and how much money the .gov wastes on spying on its citizens and conducting mindless activities at home and abroad. Turning this planet the right side up is not the mammoth task when you have 7.5 billions souls with similar goals. People fail to appreciate how much planetary resources are wasted by .gov neuroticism and foolishness. Most of the resources go towards oppressing the population!

Hi AR - thanks for reading and sharing! The world does work in funny ways. It’s funny how many people miss that it is through tax dollars, paid via fiat currency, by which wars are financed and promoted. By taking back money, we take back the ability of governments to wage war on our ‘behalf’. Not to mention all the other things going on. 

\
From an evolutionary perspective, I do believe wars are necessary to promote positive growth, as humanity is incapable of positive growth without negative feedback.  I’ve personally seen people unwilling to change habits unless they get a disease or into a crippling situation. It’s the same collectively. People/countries do not change unless forced. Weird and tragic. Ego consciousness perpetuates itself unless it is shot to pieces. 

\
Hopefully, however, we will avoid WW3. Especially the bombs. Can’t see individual soldiers carrying out the orders anymore. Wars won’t have public support unless there is an ‘event’. 

Hi Nerv! Thanks, glad it resonated with you. My email is oneshot2shots@gmail.com, but I’m actually on a kind of spiritual retreat at the moment. Limited space/time for collaboration, and i don’t work anymore. Kind of ironic writing for HN but drastically limiting time spent on technology ;)

Bad Policies Result in 'No Money, No Food, No Fuel, No Meds': Emergency Crisis in Sri Lanka 

The reset is underway. Ultimately it’s a good thing. We need collapse so people will migrate from the corrupted fiat system towards Web3. People don’t move until their homes are taken away or they get a terrible disease. Sad but true - I’m been trying to explain blockchain since 2015 but they don’t listen until the world collapses (literally). 

\
The bottom line is that crypto allows us to avoid paying taxes so the parasites don’t have any more of our energy to mismanage. 

Two Factor Authentication - The Deep State Tool That Supports Mass Technology Dysfunction

Well, the difficulty for me is often travel. When I hit a new country, they require SMS 2FA which is unavailable in the new country. But the bigger questions is why do these companies have automatic access to our information? When did we allow, and when were we asked, if phone 2FA should be mandated on our accounts? I have had 20 times more hassle with passwords and 2FA management than any hacker. And I have had a lot of difficulty with debit cards being frozen internationally because I did not “update” the banks as to my location (as if I should have to do that).
