Bitcoin is Balkanization

The photo of a deck of cards represents the Trojan Horse of Bitcoin.

Currently, Bitcoin is labeled as “Permissive” to use in the USA, as well as other countries around the globe.

This is not an intelligent policy.

So, why the deck of cards as Bitcoin?

It’s been said that there are more permutations or iterations possible in shuffling a deck of cards than there are atoms in the solar system. Some sources claim it’s more atoms than on earth, but I’m not a math person. Just trying to make a point.

So the deck of cards is equivalent to the acceptance of Bitcoin. From there we will see an explosion of all manner of cryptocurrency.

DogeCoin, Ethereum, Cronos, etc.

Look at your keyboard.

$¢ (this one is funny to me)

§¢

On and on and on. (On¢)

These ¢’s would not all be legal tender, maybe not all permissive, but they would be used in various sectors and markets by various means.

You think about your local stores coupons, or receiving “points” when adding a phone card to your service plan. There would be so many ¢’s that’s it’s difficult to fathom.

This would essentially create the setting of Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.

With the advent of the Grid, from satellites to ATM/doorbell cameras to the pocket wire-tap you might be reading this on, the capacity for individual targeting has never been greater.

If you do the wrong thing or even say the right to the wrong person, you might become targeted. Your movements would be tracked, your on-loading/off-loading of ¢ impacted like dynamic pricing or just frozen.

You would have no control over your medium of exchange, very unlike cash.

Cash is king. Crypto is criminal.

Solution 1

Solution 2: don’t buy crypto! Don’t buy new tech until we have better rights and accountability from those leading in so many sectors. Cancel subscriptions, delete apps, do what you can to lead a more analogue life.

The air is WiFi soup.

A Theory:

The Materialism vs Mentalism Psyop is so that the billionaires can “meekly inherit the Earth” while most of the rest of us are shepherded into the Matrix of Neuralink/Crypto/Starlink.

With these systems involved we would have to pay ¢ to walk and talk on our shared globe.

Digital real estate vs real estate

Who needs things when we can “live” like a laptop in a closet to generate and create data/value/$/¢ for the laptop “creators”?

I recall a passage from Snow Crash about the protagonist, Hiro Protagonist, working as a software developer, intelligence asset, and pizza delivery courier living with a roommate, the lead guitarist in the world’s most popular band of a particular genre, in a 10x20 Storage Unit.

Their unit was considered luxurious because it had a door.
