Blockchain Technology Revelation Orchestrated by Shadow Government?
Somethin's kinda fishy 'bout this here blockchain cryptography stuff.
The video below quite clearly explains the very thoughts I've been having about all this.
The miraculously altruistic mystery-man Satoshi legend...
The world's hidden control structure having no hand whatsoever in the emergence of groundbreaking technology...
The crashing fiat currencies worldwide...
Too many coincidences have aligned to carry on under the assumption this is all just nature taking its course and righting life's wrongs in the name of the people.
Do tell Oddnugget! What are your thoughts on the matter?
:) I'm glad you asked (and with such scrumptious verve to boot).
I simply can't fathom a reality in which the colossal governing conglomerate of allied banking cartels clearly in existence is keeping its bloody tentacles out of the tea kettle that is human sovereignty.
At least, I can't fathom it any more than I can the existence of a humble Japanese genius releasing technology capable of overthrowing entire governments before slipping silently and stealthily into the deepest, darkest corridors of the web.
It truly is a fairy tale and, although I'd like to think many fairy tales may be founded in truth, this one reeks of low tide and scurvy sailors.
Big daddy gov has likely given us this "gift" of "independence"
Given the heavy military involvement in development of the technology used to launch the Internet, this isn't much of a stretch to consider.
A government controlled group likely created the revolutionary concept we call Bitcoin and, on the surface, it definitely appears to lead in a direction Big Papa Gov. would like us to go.
However, much like the Internet, I don't think they have the level of control they might have hoped to.
If the control group gave us the Internet, they made quite a mistake
I get it. Widespread Internet use and willingness to disclose personal information online has allowed these people access to our homes and lives that they've never quite had before.
They can keep closer tabs on us all (in theory) and benefit from Orwellian levels of surveillance in nearly every home in the modern world.
However, surveillance, though attractive to sociopathic control freaks like the lurking puppet masters hidden behind the proverbial curtain, isn't actually their goal.
They may have thought it was, but surveillance is not synonymous with control and control is what they're after; complete control. In pushing for widespread adoption of Internet, they've upped their ability to watch us, but weakened their grasp of raw control over the masses.
They've allowed the single most dangerous tool anyone could use against them to fall into the outstretched hands of the "common" man; information. More fittingly put, information exchange.
The Internet is, at its core, an endlessly enlarging repository of information that almost anyone in this day and age can gain access to.
Make no mistake, this is a grave error for any ruling class to commit. We need only check back to medieval times of book burning and general illiteracy to determine how paranoid tyrants could get when it came to the peasant-class having access to enlightening information of any kind.
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency are enlightening millions already
So far, many are rushing in to this cryptospace to join in securing wealth conjured from thin air, but few have yet to catch on to the implications of all this...
That the value of currency is driven by perception, not inherent utility of the medium itself.
Yes, blockchain technology is immensely useful, but creations such as "Beercoin" are not.
Still, "Beercoin" is considered valuable to some degree and could potentially be seen as more valuable should its uses increase either online or in the real world.
This is one of the most important truths we could ever have been exposed to.
That the creation of "money" is but fabrication of a medium coupled with persuasion of others to adopt and value it.
That's quite a cat to unbag. Let's see them put it away again. :)
I just wonder how long it takes before a government realizes paper dollars are a real pain and converts their own currency to crypto. The real fear, at that point, will be the government seeing other cryptos as competition. Right now, cryptos are off the radar, thankfully, and most politicians have zero clues as to what they are or how they work. The interesting thing is that in America, most of our money is already digital. There is nothing backing it. Again, at some point I can see the Federal Reserve declaring all US dollars will be converted to a blockchain, digital currency and all other cryptos will be declared illegal.
HOW TO MAKE A MINT: THE CRYPTOGRAPHY OF ANONYMOUS ELECTRONIC CASH (18 June, 1996)
National Security Agency Office of Information Security Research and Technology - Cryptology Division
Introduction: With the onset of the Information Age, our nation is becoming increasingly dependent upon network communications. Computer-based technology is significantly impacting our ability to access, store, and distribute information. Among the most important uses of this technology is electronic commerce: performing financial transactions via electronic information exchanged over telecommunications lines. A key requirement for electronic commerce is the development of secure and efficient electronic payment systems. The need for security is highlighted by the rise of the Internet, which promises to be a leading medium for future electronic commerce.

Very interesting ain't it?
Thanks for the neat contribution!

All this flower and sunshine talk in the crypto-scene, while saying all criticism is FUD, is quite reminicent of the mainstream, isn't it :).
People on the anti-gov movement always underestimate their enemy, while also vilifying them. Anarchist base their believes on the base that no human is inherently evil, so why should people in the shadow government be? Maybe they came to realize that the banking scheme is something that has to completely collapse eventually.
My main concern with crypto is that people who are rich and influential in the current money system will be rich and influential in the crypto-verse. It is not changing the whole world. It is just one of the ponzie-schemes that has been running for more than 500 years finally collapsing, but you are a fool to believe there is no exit strategy for them.
Having said all that, the possibility for people to use money more freely might have a lot of ripple effects. Ripple... you get it? xD
Yes, yes it is.
It's nice to be optimistic, but one should never underestimate one's enemy.
I think we are simply caught up in a crazy moment in history; a shift from one economic system to another.
We can use this chance to amass wealth or squander the opportunity and end up scrambling to move our money into crypto after the boom.
This comment, along with my post are my $.02 (or should I say my 0.00001 BTC lol that's $.05)

We see what we wanna see man. One door closes, another opens. The only permanent truth is impermanence and I believe crypto was borne of a patent need to carry out fundamental truths. Someone had to do it
