I wrote this story for one writing contest. So, just left it here.

«Send it»

– Do you understand what consequences would follow if you will send this message now?

– Everything depends on people. They always have a choice. In this specific layer of the World, event are always formed by one equation, but variables can change and these variables depend on people’s choice. There is no bad or good technologies, methods. There is only a choice how to apply it. People are given tools. Tool is neutral by itself and each individual consciousness defines how exactly to use it. People were given weapon not to kill animals or other people, but to be protected from predators. Another question is in appearance of such aggressive behaviour conducted only by an instinct, shows the current I.Q. and an attitude of the environment towards itself. So to say, a man itself is potentially far cleaner and more conscious, then the place where he temporarily stays. But only potentially. Meanwhile we see a bit different picture. Environment will change under pressure of intention by each individual. Evolution is a neither mechanical or random process.

– That’s a whole point, when person is given a knife, he can cut bread and feed someone or clean apple and give it to child. But he can also kill with the same knife. Don’t you feel that your idea will become a new hydrogen bomb?

– I perfectly realize the idea: what comes to this world is became distorted. Imagine the person who looks in muddy water and sees reflections of itself. In reflected pupils he sees another reflections and so on. Any innovation will grow disorder and deformed in process of penetration into global society. Now, on a laptop screen, in these chains of the equations, I see some child in front of me. He is “clean” and as well as this “white paper”. When this child gets to a world, his transformation begin. It is inevitable by the rules of this Game. Of course there will be those, who will want to use it only for the sake of themselves, conducted by greed and there will be a majority. But it is normal, it is a part of resistance between negative and positive polarity. Usually the ratio about 80 for 20 percent and negative thinking prevails here. The child will learn himself many years, till he gets on his own feet and establish his own rules.

Changes rule the world. If it wouldn’t made by me, then inevitably it will flash in mind of another person. If something appears at someone, it has been appeared in everyone. According to my feelings, I just can’t keep it in myself anymore. I can’t afford not to do it. But who am I? Nobody. I create nothing. All of us only conductors, you understand? All my way, education, all these infinite evenings in the front of monitor, calculations and formulas, labyrinths of mind, everything has led me now to this button. The button which I will press.

– Decentralized exchange of money. It for the first time in the history! You are true cranky if you think that governments will allow you to make it. People create and exchange money!.. Seems like utopia.

– You know, in childhood I often walked in area with a Buddhist temple. And once, having gotten through a fence, I’ve eavesdropped on a conversation of three monks. I was very curious in all ages , I was interested in everything, from difficult computing systems to alchemy, from artificial intelligence to Platon’s metaphysics. I just understood thing in the way “there are no borders between sciences, spirit or arts.

So, these monks were spoke silently, keeping smile everytime. One of them said, that in Reality, there is no accurate hierarchy based on suppression of subordinate. There is no centralized governing body of all. Everything is just one Body. Imagine branches of a tree or a rhizome of a mycelium. All are connected to all and the main thing: each one teaches one. Eternal growth, exchange of knowledge. Each point is connected with another. Everybody know about everybody, there is nothing to hide. There is no parental binding, no possession of result of work. Any creation is free in the choice, there are no traditional imposed rules. The creator isn’t closed on its creation and vise versa.
Then monks have stopped speaking and one of them has unexpectedly turned in my side and has winked. I was frightened and ram away. Nothin I have understood, after I had re-collect, but something has lit up in me. That long night I laid with my hands in the back of my head and looking to the stars, trying to imagine and understand what these monks spoke about.

– What about global economy, p2p systems and transparent transactions?

– For many years people will not understand the essence of technology based on decentralization, just because this world is closed and focused on itself. The essence is not in virtual currency, all of this being only instruments. The essence is in constant search of answers, where we are, who we are and why we are here. Only search gives a person genuine happiness.

We need to change our views on this world, people have forgotten what is freedom. But gradually the understanding will increase. There will be hi-tech individuals and leaders. They will continue development. It will be young enthusiasts worldwide. These are ideological people. They will be passionate and keen. Perhaps there will appear much more perfect and fast decisions based on what I want to share now. I assume there will be platforms, basis of which on will be created new decentralized applications, perhaps, allowing to exchange not only money, but any values. There will be communities united by one purpose, using their technical platform for achievement of these purposes. Honest will be in the system root.

To all intermediaries, agents, banks, the governments, it is necessary to adapt, change their methods on business. They should try to offer their clients something bigger than freedom. Even corruption will change, because all actions of officials will become transparent, everyone will be able to see how the “mighty of this world” works. It will be an interesting theater, a global reality show.

– It reminds me the alchemical principle of mixing different elements.

– Yes, exactly. In Alchemy, Ether — as the main element, it’s a basis of life. I think that something similar will also happen to this technology. We need to make the first step. Grass still grow, squeezing the asphalt. Separatism is always unprofitable from the point of getting knowledge, which needs to become the main instinct. Egocentrism will overcome and the digital environment will be a good example.

Jacque Fresco always felt what this world could be, where it should go. New technologies will allow a person spend a minimum of time on survival and a maximum on creativity, self-knowledge, perception expansions. The distributed systems of blocks will gradually accelerate, reaching the instantaneousness of information transfer. The neuronet of the world will grow rich, knowledge will get to the most remote corners of the planet. Now in the true tremendous time, evolution accelerates, so that what has been reached in many decades earlier, opens now in only a few years. In all spheres, as if in neurobiology, quantum physics or work with energies of thin body and spiritual works.

– Why you want to avoid centralization? Why people need openness in business?

– Do you remember that conversation of monks on structure of the Real World? Everything from above and below are equal. Open source projects will make success because they are open for expansion and cooperation with any chains. Any closed system seeks for destruction, stagnation. The openness of projects will draw attention from people and investors. Business and economy goes beside psychology, they being bounded. All the same. But there will be many false companies behind with no real innovation, and just beautiful words and difficult technical terms. Those people will just try to earn on a wave that is happening. Tough regulations from politicians will quickly change it, the first courts will pay attention to discipline and business ethics. Eventually, real products of young startups will be published, be supported by the large companies, and forgeries will be punished and be forbidden at the legal state.

A lot of possibilities become open with financial independence. Another question for future is how to teach people not to go crazy in laziness because of free time, after they’ve done with their financial independence. It is already the purpose of everyone, to open individual aim in this place. Any person, doesn’t know why he’s here, but you reveal it through communication and interaction with others. I’d like to say that the most inspiring thing that helps you get out of bed in the morning and go — is the purpose to help people overcome themselves.

– What about some serious people in black suits who have some authority?

– Everything’s as usual: laugh, fight, then accept. The history is fractal, as well as this environment. I understand that all economic elite will gradually adapt it under itself. But they won’t be able to forbid it because if you cut off one of Hydra’s head, it will be two grown after. They know better than everybody does, if it’s impossible to win it, it’s necessary to control it. Something will begin like a gold-rush, in this market there will be real wild West sometime. But regulation in the different states will gradually go, many nuts will drag on, legalization will begin. Banks will instantly realise what smells fried, as in the case with the advent of a world wide web when many large finance companies have begun to transfer business into the network rails. About 10–15 years will have to be taken on understanding of what occurs. Then the hype will fall down and then we will be able to observe natural penetration of technology into all spheres of the society.
Process is unstoppable. Generations will be replaced, young people always win against old. Children will take the best from fathers, but will build the new paradigm. There will be no isolation and concrete specialties that separating digital geeks from humanists. All will study everything by the principle of associative way of thinking. A method, which now appearing on this screen in front of you and at distance of the sent message from the whole world, is one of the chains which will start different processes worldwide, in all kinds of different spheres.

– Well, if it is completely transparent system, then many talented persons will have a desire to hack it?

– Technically it will be almost impossible. The cryptographic principle is the cornerstone. The system of confirmation of transaction won’t allow to enter incorrect data. For example, to crack one block, it is necessary to hack all chain.
Like one of my friend always told, you can’t expel wolves from the wood. But best of this new-age wolves will work for this technology soon. They will understand someday basic principle is trust and progress of all human beings, but not aggression and suppression. Jedis in the digital world will take the light side of data protection. Light is incredibly strong.

– Why you don’t want to provide this to society officially? Why you want to remain it in shadow? It can make you one of the richest and influential person in the world? Same like creation of new Internet!

– As I said before, my friend, I have created nothing. Any sincere poet, dancer or artist will tell you that they are only a feather in someone’s Hands. And these Hands are something bigger that neither the mathematics, nor physics, nor economics, nor computers, nor any occult sciences because all words and concepts come only from mind. Mind doesn’t allow you to pass further. Mind will bring you to a door to which a key is necessarilly needed. But your mind will allow you to find this key. In my student years, I always liked to be neither on the stage, nor in the auditorium, but I like to watch everything backstage, off screens.

Once Banksy told me that money and glory always were neprichy in his art. So, personality doesn’t matter. Only the fact that personality has brought to this environment matters. We don’t know much about the World.

– One of your purposes to change economic system?

– My purpose is to do what I am able to do, to share it, improving the place to which I was thrown. There are Processes which are far higher and more global than the pursuit of changing the economic system. The fact is what has transmitted through me now is only a drop in the sea. But what kind of sea is being setted without the drops?
Everything begins with Culture. If behind any technology there is no Culture, it is just a next toy for manipulation. Slavic word for culture is Cult Ra. Ra is the Light. Any digital technology doesn’t appear in ignorance darkness. All this becomes through those whose intelligence has lit up for an instant as if somebody brought a candle in the room shipped in a haze. The daddy Einstein said that the madness is to do the same things and wait for another result. So let’s undertake something qualitative new.

– Will you never reveal yourself to the world, Satoshi?

– It doesn’t matter. Who is John Galt? Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

– What do you feel before you send this document right now?

–Something like a block chain of feelings. Doubt, then nervousness, then joy. Future. Acceptance. Emptiness. And then… Freedom.
