Bitcoin Predicted By 'The Economist' In 1988? Is Bitcoin Core Some Kind of Long-Planned Trojan Horse For Society?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

In January, 1988, The Economist published a prediction of a world currency and it's front cover contained an image of a gold coin around the neck of a phoenix that looks suspiciously like Bitcoin's logo - the date on the coin is 2018!

Given that predicting a 'one world currency' is not a particularly difficult thing to do, we might just put this down to a meaningless, chance occurrence - however, as many have observed - the real controllers of our society's political and financial systems don't really do 'leaving things to chance'.

Here's a quote from this edition of The Economist:

THIRTY years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably be paying for their shopping with the same currency. Prices will be quoted not in dollars, yen or D-marks but in, let's say, the phoenix. The phoenix will be favoured by companies and shoppers because it will be more convenient than today's national currencies, which by then will seem a quaint cause of much disruption to economic life in the last twentieth century.

Why Does This Matter?


First of all, it is very common for people to be led to think they are being 'saved' by an idea or a person, but to then be led into destruction. This occurred with communism, representational democracy and is perhaps personified by Russell Brand as he plays the 'pied piper' - who says some of the right things but ultimately is easily shown to be leading people to dead ends.

If we are going to improve life, we need to understand that we are being heavily manipulated in ways that hugely limit, in subtle ways, our ability to be free and successful. It is possible to take great ideas and corrupt them so that they work against us, just as has occurred with world religions which preach love and liberation but which often produce guilt and suffering.

Is Bitcoin Really a Trap?


Ultimately, I don't know the answer to this question 100%. My recent post in response to Jeff Berwick's interview with a core developer of Bitcoin Cash went some way to putting across my position on the subject and it is clear that there are important questions that need to be asked about the nature of Bitcoin and who exactly is controlling it.

Thankfully, since the code can and has been forked, it becomes possible for any poor leadership to be made irrelevant simply by creating a new, better version.

That said though, I'd like to draw your attention to two very important videos (beyond the ones linked in this post already) that show something of how world events are planned well in advance and clues are left 'hidden in plane site' often DECADES in advance.

Predictive Programming


To the untrained eye, the idea of predictive programming seems insane and paranoid. The concept is essentially that imagery and concepts are inserted into the collective mind via mass media sources way in advance of events that have been planned for a very long time; the purpose being to unconsciously prime the minds of the people so that when shocking events occur the people are more accepting/ready for them.

If you poke me in the belly hard and cause me pain, without any warning, I might be in a bit of shock and retaliate due to my programmed defence conditioning. If, however, you show me videos of you poking me in the belly (simulated) for a few days before the event, I will be much less shocked and less likely to lash out.

If you show me the videos in such a way that I don't even notice you showing me them - for example, by having the video playing in the background of the room while you mostly direct me to look elsewhere; I may be desensitised (primed) for the event without ever realising the priming has occurred. This is one aspect of 'predictive programming' and there are more that make it attractive to those who desire control.

Videos That May Demonstrate Predictive Programming In Broad Daylight


There are a few very good videos available that expose this topic, but here are a couple that offer alternative angles on all this that are particularly attention grabbing.

  1. The film series 'Back to the future' appears to be a heavily encoded set of movies which play with actual real world 'time travel' by describing events that were to transpire years after the movies were made. The events in question are largely the 911 attacks in New York. Even those who believe the government's already massively debunked 'official versions' of the 911 events will be forced to admit there is an eery thread running through these movies that connect to 911. The fact that the producer then went on to make a film 30 years later about the twin towers, involving a character who dresses like Marty McFly in the original 'back to the future' movies is eye opening.. yet when combined with many other obvious connections between the movies and 911 it is hard to reject such an idea outright. In one of the movies the line "You'll find out in 30 years" is a key one and that is apparently actually what occurs when we forensically examine the movies with the benefit of hindsight, 30 years on.

  1. An old audio cassette recording of a medical Doctor in the early 1980s recalling attending a conference in the late 1960s where, unexpectedly, he was given a lengthy presentation that laid out how society was going to evolve in the following 40-50 years. The speaker presented himself as a member of a secret society and he said he was authorised to share secret information in order to prepare the Doctors to adapt to the changes. His predictions included numerous technologies, fashion trends and other significant patterns in society which have indeed come to pass. Some of the patterns described had not occurred yet in the 1980s, but have since occurred and there are some still to come.

This is a long recording, but it's hard to stop listening once the details of the situation being described become clearer:

Predictive Programming of a Bitcoin One World Currency?


To conclude, this could all just be a 'coincidence', but given the methodologies of covert control described here, it is not beyond a stretch of the imagination to think that Bitcoin was subtly inserted into our mental matrix long ago, to quietly rest in the unconscious collective minds of the children and younger people from the time the publication was made. Perhaps those people will be programmed to unconsciously connect together 'Bitcoin' with the idea of a single, world currency and be more open to it due to old connections having been formed that aren't really thought about and acknowledged.

For this and many other reasons I think it is quite important to pay close attention to those controlling the Bitcoin CORE network and to see whether Bitcoin CORE is headed towards a liberated, reliable system of exchange or if it is headed towards a banker driven and unliberated system of control dressed up as something more than it is...

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?"

A coincidence maybe? So interesting to think about. I seem to recall other eerily predictive Economist covers.

I think they will blame Bitcoin for the economic collapse and implement their own fiat crypto..

I don't know will btc be an economic miracle for the world to finish the intermediaries or a project that will increase income inequality.

Blockchains have potential to be both - we must choose to use them wisely!

i hope the people earn what they deserve with fairl and I hope blockchain add value to the world
thanks for good post

ura-soul. you'll like this. I inserted this idea into the matrix of steemians 7 days ago

and Back to the Future was very interesting in predicting Trump as President in the form of Biff as Mayor ! with his gaudy casinos and trumpesque behaviours

you could say every sci-fi film since 1950 was trying tell us the same things over and over. we're not alone and we're not that advanced !

Merry Christmas :)

Back to the future is an amazing sequence of encodings IMO. It arguably demonstrates the use, possible, of remote viewing or even technology that could view timelines into the future, to then plan out a series of movies. Alternatively, it is a blueprint for events that were planned back then and desired to be brought into manifestation. It could very well be both!

Thank you for the poke in the stomach. Very interesting conjectures, well and thoughtfully presented. Quite thought provoking. I look forward to more.

Heh - You are welcome! More to come soon.

we wish your predictions tidak.semuanya true, but we also fear when in the end currency in this world is no longer a valuable, in because of crytocurrency so valuable value and become a tool Exchange legitimate around the world. not thing that is not possible if at once all of US will lose back crytocurrency in this world. ago what will be able to replace them ...? I think in the end we will be using gold and silver as currency of the next.
@ura-soul

Wow! I have seen the Back to the future thing I was a huge fan of the films and can see this in it. I have also seen the Economist cover but Bitcoin wow. And it kinda make sense mad and maddening. Is it good or bad the mind boggles but as the collective consciousness we can make it a good thing! Resteemed

Very interesting read with a lot of good information about what might be ahead of us for a one world currency. Subliminal suggestions being played in the back ground. Very powerful tools of suggestion. Resteemed.

From what i have read the blockchain is a crucial part of the transhumanisum.Its looking like it has been a long planned out thing.Further back than most can imagine.

i am not aware of any need for a blockchain to be part of a cyborg form of transhumanism, although any form of data source could be used as part of that.
