Bitcoin & Gold

in #cryptocurrencies7 years ago (edited)

We debate about cryptocurrencies, about the digital smart economy, the value of BTC, ETH, DASH and hundreds of others cryptos.

We participate in ICOs, shares posts in Reddit, Facebook and expect to make some bucks here at Steemit, but we never question that association of bitcoin and gold.

Those graphic images of Bitcoin and Ether as a gold coin.

Why this portraiture?

Why this visual imagery that headlines most of the traditional centralized papers & magazines?

You might argue and suggest that Gold is associated with the mining terminology of the Bitcoin blockchain. Sure it does indeed means the same thing, in a vocabulary, synonymous sense of the word, however am still unable to figured out the imagery of the gold association with Satoshi Nakamoto paper.

Gold means slavery & exploitation since day one.

These days, in our present time is non different Philippines, Africa, South America I mean wherever there is gold there is slavery, abuse, low pay and massive exploitation.

I like to believe that Satoshi Nakamoto published paper on The Cryptography Mailing list in October 2008 when Bitcoin was released was not to become associate with the miserable exploitation of Gold.

As a stock exchange participant myself never traded Gold in my entire stock market experience, and will never do.

To profit from the suffering of others is not part of my lifestyle.

Did ever, the innovative, decentralized ecosystem of cryptocurrencies ever question this issue? Do not think so. Never read anything about it.

John Losser published an article at daily cryptocurrency titled:

Are Cryptocurrencies the New Gold? but associate crypto as the new Gold Rush...

We should pay attention to the semiotics, to the indirect effect that those imagery of crypto as gold input into our subconsciousness.

Cryptocurrencies, the blockchain are synonymous of innovation, decentralization, the shift of the web of information to the web of economic value, the new smart economy of the new millennium, which care about economic dealings, transparency, low fees and also the environment, the relationship of labour and market.

As a founder of a cryptocurrency myself, never associate our cryptocurrency with the graphic, visual imagery of gold. It's out of my optical, out of my eyes consciousness

Honestly I believe we should stay with the amazing graphics imagery, the brand of the digital crypto as it is, without the gold association...

Do you know why DASH went up?
It is becausa D.Va, largest korean coin pumping group.
All the coins that D.Va picked,the price went up.
The coin NEO was frozen,so it started off as a minus ,
but ultimately price went up.
I will now only follow D.Va picks.
