Disruptive Technologies: Get ready In the coming decades we will see the massive takeoff of two technologies that will change the course of society: Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence. The first will fundamentally impact finance and the second will be cross-cutting, socially and economically. Use #AI for DYOR Tip: work with three different LLMs and contrast one against the other to exercise critical thinking and get more accurate results.

Stablecoins Are The First Step To #CBDC Stablecoins will be the first step towards a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the United States because they already act as bridges between traditional and digital finance. These currencies, pegged to the dollar, allow for testing blockchain infrastructure, encouraging adoption and experimenting with real-time digital payments, essential for a CBDC implementation. The government will seek to regulate and manage risks, such as financial stability and privacy, before launching its own official version of the digital dollar.

UBI: A Massive Control Tool As AI evolves, companies are adopting the technology to streamline processes and reduce production costs. This means less hiring of human employees, which means there will be many people out of work. In this context governments will take advantage to implement a Universal Basic Income (UBI), a system of subsidies with social credit that will be charged with #CBDC. As technology evolves the need for UBI will be increasing as well as the control over the population. #Technocracy 2030 #AI

Michael The Saylor of the Bitanic The combination of a high reliance on debt, Bitcoin's inherent volatility, liquidity risks and market perception creates a scenario in which MicroStrategy could face a sell run if its funding (Ponzi) scheme becomes unsustainable.

Do you know what he means? No, it is not the ancient money Rai stones used by the people of the Micronesian island of Yap, it is a stone life jacket, because Saylor is the "Titanic" to #BTC

What do you notice? 134 countries & currency unions, representing 98% of global GDP, are exploring a #CBDC. In May 2020 that number was only 35. Currently, 66 countries are in the advanced phase of exploration—development, pilot, or launch. Every G20 country is exploring a CBDC, with 19 of them in the advanced stages of CBDC exploration. Of those, 13 countries are already in the pilot stage. This includes Brazil, Japan, India, Australia, Russia, and Turkey. #Technocracy 2030 #AI https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/cbdctracker/

A New Paradigm in Book Reading with #AI Don't like to read long books? Or , Do you like interactive reading? If you load the PDF book in NotebookLM you can get a summary and interact with the book, almost as if you were talking to the author, with questions like What did you mean when you talk about this x topic?

#Monero Forks The Monero blockchain has experienced several forks that resulted in the creation of other cryptocurrencies. Here are some notable forks: 1. MoneroV (XMV): This was a fork aimed at addressing issues such as scalability, inflation, and transaction fees. It sought to improve upon the original Monero protocol by introducing changes that would enhance its functionality. 2. Monero Classic (XMC): Following a significant hard fork in April 2018, Monero Classic emerged as a continuation of the pre-fork Monero blockchain. This fork was initiated by a group of Monero enthusiasts who believed that the changes made to the mining algorithm were detrimental to decentralization. 3. Monero 0 (XMZ): Another fork that arose from the same hard fork event, Monero 0 was created by users who were concerned about the direction of the Monero project. They advocated for a return to the original proof-of-work consensus mechanism, arguing that the continuous hard forks were destabilizing. 4. Monero Original (XMO): This fork also emerged from the April 2018 hard fork, with its developers emphasizing the importance of community choice and diversity within the Monero ecosystem. 5. MoneroC (CXMR): This project is less known, but it was mentioned as another fork that aimed to implement some changes to the Monero protocol while avoiding centralization issues. 6. Wownero (WOW): A humorous and experimental fork of Monero, Wownero integrates some Dogecoin-like elements and features a fixed supply cap, deviating significantly from Monero's vision. Each fork typically focuses on unique priorities such as privacy, scalability, or mining methods. However, Monero XMR remains the most widely adopted and recognized privacy-focused cryptocurrency among these.

Milestones In #AI

Handle With Care Artificial Intelligence is a powerful and fascinating tool. The potential it has is enormous. Many scientists say that there will come a time when AI's capabilities will be so powerful that it will be able to make better decisions than we can, Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). At that point is that AI will cease to be a tool for humans, and we humans will be a tool for AI. Don't let AI make the important decisions for you. Don't lose control.

Science Is Critical Thinking "Trust science" is a mantra installed by politicians to avoid critical thinking by the masses. Precisely, one of the principles of science is to question in order to corroborate or refute hypotheses or postulates. Do not let others think for you. Start with skepticism every statement in order to investigate its veracity.

It is not healthy to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Sources Of Power The three primary sources of power that have historically shaped human societies are force, wealth and knowledge. The relationship of relevance of each has been changing, with wealth having preponderance after the Industrial Revolution and knowledge having greater weight in the Information Age.

True wealth is not measured in amounts of money, but in degrees of freedom to live life your way.

Signs Of Transition To A Technocracy —Evidence-based leadership: Increased presence of ‘technocrats’ in positions of power, such as experts in public health, economics, and technology. —Scorecard and merit systems: The implementation of individual reputation mechanisms (social credit) is under discussion in the West, while it is already applied in Asia. —Cashless societies: The push for digital economies removes anonymity from transactions, allowing greater control over individual economic activity. —Simulation-based policies: Government decisions based on predictive modeling and AI simulations, such as climate change or future pandemics. #Technocracy 2030 #AI

"If the human race on this Continent is to survive the crash of the Price System, Technocracy will have to be put into practice.” —Technocracy in Plain Terms, Technocracy Inc. 1939. Do you understand? It is preparing for almost a century. I have been saying that the American monetary system will collapse with a provoked crisis so that ‘the solution’ can be implemented. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/Technocracy_movement

Technocracy Isn't New "Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population of this continent. For the first time in human history, it will be done as a scientific, technical, and engineering problem. There will be no place for Politics or Politicians, Finance or Financeers, Rackets or Racketeers.” —The Technocrat magazine, September 1937. #Technocracy 2030 #AI
