Did you even read the note? I’ve acknowledged that one of Bitcoin’s design goals is transparency and posit that this would be antithetical to the goals of the CIA.

2024-09-20 15:39:18

Didn't the CIA create Bitcoin? An analysis >>>>>
Although I haven't seen any credible evidence of this, let's just assume for a minute that it was, similar to how the NSA created the Tor network.
The NSA created the Tor network in order to allow operatives to communicate from unfriendly territories without the possiblity of being traced. But, for it to work, enough people had to actually use Tor so that communications could blend in with the crowd to avoid detection.
In order to get people to use it, they had to put it out there in the open. The Tor network is just a piece of open source software that anyone is free to read, analyze, use, fork, copy, and alter. There's no secret sauce. Anyone with the capability of reading computer code can understand the design of the Tor network.
One could draw similar parallels to Bitcoin. The CIA could've created Bitcoin in order to allow funding of programs without touching traditional financial systems of unfriendly countries. But, for it to work, enough people would have to actually use Bitcoin so that transactions could blend in with the crowd to avoid detection.
But, if that were true, then why would they design Bitcoin to have all transactions be publicly visible in a blockchain? To me it seems like they would've designed it similar to other cryptocurrencies, which obfuscates transaction details on the ledger. In short, how does the CIA benefit from having a publicly viewable immutuable leder of their dirty business?
If it were true, why would they design a system that is resistant to censorship? To me it seems like they would've designed it with censorship capabilities, for example with the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which would allow the person with the most of the coin to censor transactions at will. In short, how does the CIA benefit from having a tool that their enemies can also use freely?
If it were true, why would they design a system that incentivizes decentralization? To me it seems like they would've designed it with centralization in mind, enabling them to leverage that into control over the network. For example, wouldn't they prefer to launch Bitcoin as a business using In-Q-Tel (the venture capital arm of the CIA that invested in Facebook early on)? If a single company "owned" the Bitcoin network, this would enable them to leverage more control over the network and future development.
Just like with Tor, Bitcoin is just computer code. It's open source software that anyone in the world is free to read, analyze, use, fork, modify, or do anything they want with it. There is no secret sauce behind Bitcoin. It has been analyzed, studied, and attacked for 15 years by many of the world's top mathemeticians, cryptographers and security researchers. To date, the Bitcoin network has not been broken.
It's clear when studying the source code of Bitcoin that it's design goals were decentralization, transparency & censorship resistance. Why would the CIA design Bitcoin with these design goals?
There's a quote "A sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic.", known as Clarke's Third Law. The technology behind Bitcoin may appear mysterious and magical to non-technical people, but it is grounded in sound mathematical principles and open-source development.
I fully support the motto "Don't trust, verify", and encourage you to perform your own research from first principles. Maybe you do want to go so far as to learn programming to be able to inspect the source code of Bitcoin first hand. But, even if you don't, I would recommend starting with the Bitcoin whitepaper which explains the design of the network. It's only 8 pages long. I've attached the Bitcoin Whitepaper here. I invite you to read it, study it, and join us at our events around the area to come and discuss with others!

The Eagle and the Condor Prophecy
The Eagle and the Condor is a pan-indigenous prophecy from South American and North American native cultures, particularly the Quechua, Hopi, and Inca. The prophecy speaks about the divergence of two spiritual paths:
The Eagle represents the peoples of the North, often interpreted as technological and industrial societies. The Eagle symbolizes intellect, materialism, and the masculine energy associated with conquest and dominance.
The Condor represents the peoples of the South, symbolizing indigenous cultures, spirituality, nature, and the feminine energy associated with intuition and connection to the Earth.
According to the prophecy, these two paths diverged thousands of years ago, with the Eagle soaring to dominance. However, this imbalance brought great suffering to the world in terms of environmental destruction, social inequalities, and the loss of harmony with nature.
The prophecy suggests that in the current age (often linked to the period of the 21st century), there would be a chance for the Eagle and the Condor to come together. In this reunion, the masculine and feminine energies, material and spiritual worlds, and technology and nature would unite, creating a future where both societies could work in balance and peace. This would lead to a new era of harmony for humanity and the Earth.
The Hummingbird Tribe
The Hummingbird Tribe is a modern concept inspired by the mythology of the hummingbird in various indigenous traditions. While less well-known than the Eagle and Condor prophecy, the Hummingbird represents persistence, courage, and a connection to spiritual wisdom. The hummingbird is small, but it is known for its tireless energy and ability to travel vast distances despite its size.
The Hummingbird Tribe is sometimes seen as the group of individuals, both indigenous and non-indigenous, who will help bring about the reconciliation of the Eagle and the Condor. These people are viewed as the "lightworkers," who embody the energy of the hummingbird — acting as messengers of peace, environmental stewardship, and spiritual harmony. They are committed to healing the Earth and bridging the gap between modern industrial society and indigenous wisdom.
The Connection Between the Two Myths
The Hummingbird Tribe can be seen as the group that facilitates the coming together of the Eagle and the Condor. They serve as the bridge, carrying messages of hope, action, and transformation. While the Eagle and Condor represent two large, dominant forces, the Hummingbird represents the subtle, yet vital power that enables the two to find balance.

Looking for the infographic that shows the timeline of technological innovations that led up to Bitcoin. RSA, Internet, Chaumian ecash, bitgold, etc. I know I’ve seen it before. Any plebs have a link?

2024-06-12 13:17:38

There’s this guy I had seen around town over the years but never spoke. He knew I was into Bitcoin and I knew he was into environmental activism.
We happened to run into each other and got to chatting. He seemed like a honest thinker and good conversationalist. He’s a biologist and I’m an engineer. We’re both thinking about systems, albeit from opposite ends.
Eventually we got into the Bitcoin topic. Specifically, its energy use. I mentioned how some companies are using the economics of mining to bring electricity to villages in Africa where it was not economically feasible before. I also mentioned that our civilization requires abundant energy for it to continue advancing technologically & socially.
He said he believed there were too many people on the planet and energy abundance would exacerbate this problem. I retorted with my firm belief that every person on Earth deserves access to energy. Anything less is a “fuck you, I got mines” attitude.
I don’t think anyone had said that to him before. He seemed shocked. And it seemed like he knew the argument was valid.
I hope he will rethink some of this before we run into each other again. Looking forward to another conversation with him.
Remember everyone, the best way to refine our position and beliefs is to have honest and open conversations with people we disagree with. No need to get angry, use it as an opportunity.
We ended our conversation with a smile and a handshake.

I know the right Bitcoiner (or group of them) is out there just waiting for this amazing opportunity. It is truly a once in a lifetime kind of thing. Please share this far and wide.
Imagine combining a community of treehouses, wildlife research, eco-tourism retreat center with Bitcoin mining using hydroelectric energy.
The business is already built and established. You would add a Bitcoin twist to the project.
This could be a model education center for the world to show them how Bitcoin mining is net-positive and how it aligns with the physical world around us.
