The Bitcoin has been getting a lot of press lately, and now is the time to separate the hype from the fact.
The Bitcoin is a form of currency favored by the Internet underworld. The benefits of Bitcoin are anonymity, security, and decentralization.
I wouldn’t say that I am Bitcoin expert, but I feel confident that in the coming years the Bitcoin will be a major player in the world economic system, but will not necessarily replace any one local currency completely. Right now the US is apparently the big loser, but looks can be deceiving, and time will show the current Bitcoin/USD exchange rate to be ultimately a good thing for America and the rest of the world.
We all know about the 1% from everybody Occupying Everywhere, and it is a big problem for the Great Eagle, because our production system is stagnating as a direct result of the continuance of corporate greed. Our people suffer an incredible ignorance because of it’s perpetuation. But it is the goal of the machine to continue operating, and there is no way to dismantle it without considerable bloodshed, amidst other destabilizing factors. This is where Bitcoin comes in.
Bitcoin is seen by many in power as a threat to their assets, but Bitcoin is not a threat, it is the solution to a problem that has long since plagued our current definition of wealth – inflation.
Bitcoin is designed to naturally deflate over time. This means that the longer the Bitcoin is around, the more worth it will have, until it is eventually not needed as a currency at all, (either because local economies are intrinsically strong, or because new technology allows for a new, even more secure, form of cryptocurrency to develop).
The talk about the “Bitcoin Bubble” is rather misleading, because the perceived “Bubble” is actually more like a balloon, that inflates and deflates in accordance with the local currency’s level of stabilization to the world mean. In other words, Bitcoin thrives when local currencies are in jeopardy, and stagnates when all centralized currencies have the appropriate amount of faith and followers (this second is important to note, because never in the history of the world have all the currencies had the “appropriate amount” all at the same time). The dollar is the lowest it’s ever been, and Bitcoin is there to provide some cushion for the people that know how to take advantage of the opportunity.
Do NOT!!!! I repeat, do not put all of your money into Bitcoins!!! Especially when 1 BTC is valued at almost $50USD!!! You should, however, pay more attention to this underground currency, because it’s starting to show wings and it will eventually fly. In the meantime you might want to start thinking about investing in a cheap Bitcoin miner, and hope that the Bitcoin doesn’t crash before you can get a return on your investment. The good news is that if the Bitcoin does crash you will be ready to buy in at the reduced rate, and rest assured, when (not if) the Bitcoin’s value rises back up, you will be ready to take your place at the table of redistributed wealth.
We saved a seagull the other day.
He was trapped in our fence.
The crows were pecking at him.
He was not doing so hot.
We took him to Spark’s Ark,
So he could mend his broken leg.
More info on the future of human civilization…
We are approaching a technological singularity where the human animal will bond with the information machine. I believe that we have already crossed the event horizon towards this metaphysical point in our species evolution, and are fast approaching a society that will have no native memory of the one that proceeded it, i.e., the 20th century will become a romantic memory, unconnected to how we identify ourselves as modern humans. We will see our 20th century counterparts as quaint historical figures who lived in the time of emergent computing technologies, and we will understand their history as a natural progression attributed to sustained technological advancement in direct accordance with Moore’s Law.
Before you start doubting that the event horizon is behind us, look at the device in your hand, and think about how much your life would change without it.
When in Rome you do as the Romans do, but what do Romans do exactly? I don’t know exactly, but I can tell you that they had great PR people. I mean look at these uniforms, they are so badass! Also that kerchief really makes the one on the right look pretty dashing, as a shield support guy really should.
But this really isn’t about the Romans and what they did. It’s about how most people don’t know how to interact with most other people in any sort of reliable, and mutually beneficial fashion.
This is the origin of the art of lawyering. People could represent other people’s interests, and present their clients identity in a more culturally acceptable way than the person themselves could ever do.
But lets say that you are you, and you have a business. You are the only employee, and because your business is service related, you have to set what your price is to the end consumer. This can lead to tricky situations if you aren’t prepared, and don’t understand what you are worth, and this is why you need someone to tell you.
A PR guy is not a Yes Man, he is someone who finds out who you are, and what you do. He then works with you to develop your skills, and from there he strategically markets your skills to others. The reason why everybody needs a PR guy now, is because field specialization is increasingly creating micro-niche economies within well established funneled wealth. At the same time the divide between the middle class and the working class is fading away, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We all work now, and If we don’t work then we definitely have a PR guy, because he’s doing all the work for us.
The fact that we all work, means that the level of specialization in every industry has increased exponentially. I don’t have numbers for you, but I can easily state that the internet connected device has the power to do great good for the placement of highly specialized people if used correctly, and has done so ever more efficiently over the past few years due to the increased affordability and portability of ICDs.
The prevalent use of ICDs over the next few years will lead to massive socio-cultural change. Everybody knows that it is coming, but nobody is exactly sure what the other side of the singularity will look like. I expect that we are within the event horizon right now, because I have issues comprehending the past, and difficulty seeing into the future. It’s as if everything is happening all at once, and nobody knows how to assemble the signs into the message.
To succeed in the new world one has to be on the internet, but not everyone knows how to represent themselves appropriately, and in some cases, representing yourself can be detrimental to your cause. There is plenty of historical evidence to support that in some cases people have been killed and imprisoned just for trying.
The PR guy is your best friend, but only if he’s on your side. You want him to give you a five star review every single time. You want him to write carefully and engagingly. You want to be able to trust him with your internet presence, because that’s the field he specializes in, and his field is growing every day…
Everybody needs a PR guy.
There is commonness here. A werewolf and a human being have certain overlapping qualifications. We are humans, we are also animals, that is the metaphor. The reality is ever more apparent as we begin to understand our species in its complete state.
Our presence here is the culmination of a course of events, that began as a conclusion to an other course of events, to which we have evidence of up for display in various museums of modern science around the world.
To speak plainly ~ we are here as a result of the dinosaurs not being here. .
We are animals. We should never forget that. We still grow claws. They could be sharp, and used correctly could kill prey. We are animals.
We have done everything in our power to disguise this fact for ourselves. We hide the meat industry. We only increase productivity because we plan on being lazy. Social structure is only minutely more complex than any typical primate society. It’s all a big party and we think we’re the coolest ones here. Newsflash, we’re not…
I’m watching Barbarella right now, and I’m realizing that 1968 got it right, but at the same time I know that Jane Fonda is so perfect that this movie is the perfect representation of everything that is right, and at the same time everything that is wrong, with modern multimedia offerings.
It’s just too sexy! The thing is so sexy, that I can barely take my eyes away from it to write this sentence. It is sexy in a way that I am not sure our society can produce anymore, because it is also innocent in its inherent ignorance of what “sexy” media would do to our society once it could be accessed on demand, from a competent search engine. It was all too easy for free love to turn into easy money, and from there the artistic movement, became one more closely associated with protestation.
It’s too bad really, because the story is so pure, and I would actually LOVE to see a remake of Barbarella, but there is no actress today who could pull off what Jane Fonda did in this movie. Plus there are so many sexy people in this movie; if you were going to do it today, it would have to have all no-name actors and actresses. There could be no Gerard Butler or Mila Kunis, it wouldn’t work! But it couldn’t be made today, because it would end up being porn.
So if a big porn company wants to remake Barbarella let me know, because I want in on that shit, and you don’t know who I am at all!
By the way, did I mention that we’re all animals?
It will happen soon. I can see the horizon coming closer. Beyond the veil, nothing, well nothing you can see anyway. It’s kind of like a black hole, the event horizon is almost upon us, and I can see no further after that. You might not know what I’m talking about, so I will explain…
I can see into the future. I’m not psychic, I just think things through and come to different “conclusions,” or “possibilities,” if you prefer. I used to be able to see farther, but now I have almost no prescience. The entire world has conspired to make me unable to accurately assess the future, and I don’t like it, not one eincy wiency bit!
Your mind is poisoned. So is mine, I know. I am aware of the poisoning. The children that are being born now will have no knowledge of the world before the internet. We cannot hold onto our past unless we are focused on the future. The world will make up its own mind where it deals destruction, but the people will deal destruction in ways unknown as yet to humanity. The future is built on our past, and we are about to forget it. It is not anything but an inability to see past the veil, but it exists more than ten years into the future. I can see up to seven, but as with looking out across the sea; the further future is always heavily shrouded in a thick possibility fog.
The trick is to not do anything, and then you know what kind of effect the world has on itself without you. Then, when you do something; you can really see the difference between doing nothing, and doing something, as opposed to doing something your whole life only to feel as if nothing has come of your efforts (It’s A Wonderful Life), and then killing yourself. Total bummer dude! Basically, you need to figure out what’s important to you and then do it, because now is the time. If everybody just pays attention to the time we’re in, right now, then maybe we can pass through the event horizon and see our past as a portrait of a journey to where we were; where we were supposed to be.
