Bitcoin: The key to freedom and peace

Bitcoin is science with spirituality. Money with peace, technology in harmony with ethics; innovation with respect for human labor. It has the road map to barter system and it has the way to establish peace without using violence. Its genuine as your spirit. You can ask me how? Yes the very first thing it is finite and scarce and the second thing is with its finite cap it will demonetize everything, for e.g. it will demonetize land, it will demonetize even gold one day. It will successfully stop the money printing press. People need not worry about storing excessive for future. Little amount of bitcoin will be enough for generations. Have some land, grow your food and enjoy with your friends and family. Just store few sats for rainy days. That will be sufficient. You will have a peaceful mind and all the rush will stop. No governments would be able to enslave humanity through money. When government will not have power of money, they cannot fund war/violence, they cannot steal your wealth inform of inflation. Bitcoin is there to separate money from state. Everyone knows about Swiss bank. But have we thought how this corrupt fraudulent banking system will end. Yes it’s going to be with public ledger, the new technology called block chain. Bitcoin is the open source, public block chain We are born in materialistic world, a horrible context we all agree. And few of us would be genuinely searching ways to escape from this materialistic world and materialism. I think if there’s one arrow that can bring down the Dark Satanic Mills and that’s Bitcoin. And that’s why it’s worthy of your attention. Educate yourself on Bitcoin. It’s key to freedom. Its hope. Just find out why it was designed and you will find out the key to new age.

an industrial-scale harvester of human attention. A firm whose business model is the mass capture of attention for resale to advertisers. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of advertising enticements, branding efforts, sponsored social media, commercials and other efforts to harvest our attention. Over the last century, few times or spaces have remained uncultivated by the 'attention merchants', contributing to the distracted, unfocused tenor of our times.

“You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Never give way to laziness, either. Perform every action with you heart fixed on the Supreme Lord. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure: for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga. Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahma. They who work selfishly for results are miserable.” ― Bhagavad Gita image

ABSTRACT Current analysis of Bitcoin’s underlying proof-of-work technology is almost exclusively based on financial, monetary, or economic theory. Recycling the same theoretical frameworks when performing hypothesis-deductive analysis of Bitcoin has the potential to create systemic-level analytical bias which could negatively impact public policy making efforts and could even pose a threat to US national security. This thesis introduces a novel theoretical framework for analyzing the potential national strategic impact of Bitcoin as an electro-cyber security technology rather than a peer-to-peer cash system. The goal of this thesis is to give the research community a different frame of reference they can utilize to generate hypotheses and deductively analyze the potential risks and rewards of proof-of-work technologies as something other than strictly monetary technology. The author asserts it would be beneficial for researchers to explore alternative functionality of proof-of-work technologies to eliminate potential blind spots, provide a more well-rounded understanding of the risks and rewards of proof-of-work protocols like Bitcoin, and positively contribute to the development of more informed public policy in support of the March 2022 US Presidential Executive Order on Ensuring the Responsible Development of Digital Assets and the May 2022 US Presidential Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity. Utilizing a grounded theory methodology, the author combines different concepts from diverse fields of knowledge (e.g. biology, psychology, anthropology, political science, computer science, systems security, and modern military strategic theory) to formulate a novel framework called “Power Projection Theory.” Based on the core concepts of Power Projection Theory, the author inductively reasons that proof-of- work technologies like Bitcoin could not only function as monetary technology, but could also (and perhaps more importantly) function as a new form of electro-cyber power projection technology which could empower nations to secure their most precious bits of information (including but not limited to financial bits of information) against belligerent actors by giving them the ability to impose severe physical costs on other nations in, from, and through cyberspace. The author calls this novel power projection tactic “softwar” and explores its potential impact on national strategic security in the 21st century. Like most grounded theory research efforts, the primary deliverable of this thesis is a novel theory rather than deductive analysis of a hypothesis derived from existing theory.

For most of its history, the Fed has enjoyed the fawning adoration of the press. When the economy grew, it was credited to the Fed. When the economy imploded in 2008, the Fed got credit for rescuing us. But the Fed also has a unique power to reshape the American economy for the worse, which it did, fatefully, on November 4, 2010 through a radical intervention called quantitative easing. In just a few short years, the Fed more than quadrupled the money supply with one goal: to encourage banks and other investors to extend more risky debt. Leaders at the Fed knew that they were undertaking a bold experiment that would produce few real jobs, with long - term risks that were hard to measure. But the Fed proceeded anyway...and then found itself trapped. Once it printed all that money, there was no way to withdraw it from circulation. The Fed tried several times, only to see market start to crash, at which point the Fed turned the money spigot back on. That’s what it did when COVID hit, printing 300 years’ worth of money in few short months. Middle - class wages have barely budged in a decade, and consumers are buried under credit card debt, car loan debt, and student debt. :excerpts from The Lords of Easy Money. .

Sri Krishnashtakam By Adi Shankaracharya; Translated by P. R. Ramachander Bhaje vrajaika mandanam, samastha papa khandanam, Swabhaktha chitha ranjanam, sadaiva nanda nandanam, Supincha gucha masthakam, sunada venu hasthakam, Ananga raga sagaram, Namami Krishna sagaram. I pray Him, who is the ornament to the land of Vraja, Who cuts off entire sins, Who pleases the mind of his devotees, And who is the godly son of Nanda Gopa. Salutations to the sea like Lord Krishna, Who decorates his head with peacock feathers, Who has the sweet sounding flute in his hand, And who is the music of the ocean of love.

Does it look like to align technology with humanity’s best interests? Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world.

A handful of people working at a handful of tech companies steer the thoughts of billions of people every day, says design thinker Tristan Harris. From Facebook notifications to Snapstreaks to YouTube autoplays, they're all competing for one thing: your attention. Harris shares how these companies prey on our psychology for their own profit and calls for a design renaissance in which our tech instead encourages us to live out the timeline we want.
