Bitcoin: An Orange New Deal

What would it look like if governments were to embrace and support the Bitcoin network?

[hogjonny]

Asset protection means different things to different individuals. It means financial independence for most. Protection against frivolous lawsuits, from undeterred ex-lovers, revengeful past acquaintances or business partners, are some common themes. And protecting against government threats, confiscation of assets, and safety from economic risks are also increasingly important. Asset protection also means planning for retirement, or providing for loved ones after you're gone.

Protecting assets has a strong connection to those who cherish independence and freedom to do with their assets what they want, without interference from others.

Where you put your money is your choice, I choose the future instead in clinging to the past archaic global banking system.

The traditional banking system uses a lot of human energy and time, as well as paper, office space, computers, internet and other technologies that collextively consume a great deal of power... not to mention an entire network of ATM machines always on at every corner. It also is easily manipulated by massive pools of money in hedge funds and investment funds, meant to distribute that wealth to the people at the top ... and put those Gucci shoes and belt on your advisors feet. Who then get government bailouts when they f'up the system, using a combination of your tax money and newly printed paper money. That returns back to us as more taxes and raising inflation.

A cryptocurrency revolution woukd not only give its holder control over their wealth and finances, but also the ability to transact freely with the rest of the world. Freedom of speech and property rights are deeply American values which are only strengthened by Bitcoin: a currency that is both censorship and seizure resistant.

This revolution just is a part of a much needed rest that redistributed some wealth and some power.

Yes I am political about this.

Can you imagine Van Gogh’s reaction to seeing this?

Van Gogh didn’t die, he fucking went to space and painted this shit

More InitiativeQ invites

Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of credit cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the system once it's ready they are allocating Qs for free to people that sign up now (the amount drops as more people join - so better to join early). Signing up is free and they only ask for your name and an email address. There's nothing to lose but if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot. If you missed getting bitcoin seven years ago, you wouldn't want to miss this.

Here is my invite link: https://initiativeq.com/invite/SZZrYUJh7

This link will stop working once I’m out of invites. Let me know after you registered, because I need to verify you on my end.

The Golden Ratio and Secret Geometry in Nature

“These wonderfully symmetrical plants show the fractal nature of math, physics and the universe. Could this be evidence of sacred geometry? “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” -Albert Einstein

The Golden Ratio, or Fibonacci sequence, is everywhere. It can be found in ancient architecture, in some of the world’s most beloved artwork (such as the Mona Lisa), and most definitely in nature. It’s for this reason that the intriguing sequence, which begins as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and so on forever, has fascinated mathematicians, scientists, designers, and artists for centuries. 

Leonardo DaVinci, for instance, was known to use the Fibonacci sequence in his masterpieces because the pattern is aesthetically pleasing. Is it a coincidence that the ratio can be seen from a micro to macro scale in all biological systems, and even in inanimate objects? Clearly, there’s much to learn about sacred geometry and inherent order in the universe. 

 Some theorize that the phi ratio (phi = 1.61803…) is evidence that nature is inherently perfect, and that when mankind strays away from the natural law, sickness and imbalance occur. While the Golden Ratio doesn’t account for every structure or pattern in this world and others, it most certainly is a key player.
