RE: Bitcoin Predicted By 'The Economist' In 1988? Is Bitcoin Core Some Kind of Long-Planned Trojan Horse For Society?
Seeing what will happen in the future was... quite easy. Up until 2012.
If you understand how time works, the cycles are very apparent.
T.P.T.shouldn'tB. are trying to shape the outcome from the energy surging through society.
Like, the rots-children tried to take credit for the feminist movement, however, they were just trying to steer an energy that was much larger than them. And, unfortunately for men, and even more so for women, it worked.
Today, there is a push for a more central, far better currency. (central in that there is one for an earth region, instead of many) Like the euro. It couldn't have been done without the large energy force trying to pull it into being.
So, the banksters would like to control this currency. However, humanity is demanding transparency and integrity in their currency. So, even if the bad guys are behind bitcoin, they will not win, as any choice that doesn't have transparency and integrity will simply be abandoned.
We also have a long way to go (probably less than a decade) in figuring out how to work with certain areas have trade imbalances and other such giant problems. And after someone does something akin to thinking up the block-chain, the solution will seem rather simple.
The collective power of humanity is greater than that of the relatively tiny groups of empire builders who seek to control life everywhere. That said, if we succumb to being at the whim of any systems, then there will always be attempts made to control the system and thus the people involved. Transparency and integrity are key, yes - it is necessary now to really help everyone learn all they can about the reality here and the concepts involved to ensure the most intelligent decisions are made. <3
I like to think Dan Larimer projects will be the foundation for a better society...
Dan Larimer isn't really a genius in inventing new things.
He has been a genius in getting those things created.
I envisioned steemit and bitcoin-like barter long ago. As did many others.
The trick has always been to get enough development and enough publicity to get the thing to point where it will live on its own.
Dan Larimer also has the inenviable position to try to explain these things so that normal people might grasp and utilize them. i.e. I tried to explain to a person what EOS and Ethereum was, and they thought I was talking about running a program on someone else's computer. "Doesn't Amazonium already have a cloud service?"
