Ari created the term proof of work in 1999. Bitcoin was the final form of many projects such as ecash and bitgold. Bitcoin did not just come out of nowhere.

well since the dev of bitcoin begun in the mid 2000's it's not a stretch to think that the concept was already known

[Anonymous No.29306904]

throughout all of history its been pretty common for humans to know what the next technological/scientific breakthroughs are going to be well before we have the means to realize their construction

hell, even the original concept of the computer goes back as far as leibniz when he talked about creating machines that would physically implement digital logic with his infamous entscheidungsproblem in the 1600s.

You know they had the internet right? It was 1997, internet hype was in full fervour. Just like how blockchain and smart contracts can do and solve everything, the internet could too. Every idea was discussed, and some were worthwhile and real. Cybercash was and is inevitable.
The SI is a logical well laid out vision of the future.

This again takes me back to that "I am a Rofschild" GLP thread from 10 years ago. Major themes were, the end of fiat, and transition into "the next big thing".

Pic related was going through my mind during all this GME "systematic blow-up risk" ordeal. Only one of the boomers in that thead brought up crypto. I'll find the response and post the link.

For the retards wondering what book this is, it's "The Sovereign Individual" and it predicted the current cryptocurrency situation we find ourselves in perfectly. It also described how the rise in anonymous payments will lead to the downfall of nationstates so make of it what you will

Here it is.
What comes to my mind is: no crypto is as decentralized as initially thought. BTC raises suspicion in that it has a supposed benevolent mystery creator. Also who controls the Core dev team?

>humans will voluntarily give up their freedom and ensure compliance under the new system.
Certainly happening now. However I don't buy the part about nano bots from the vaccine invading your mind and controlling you. Like, just don't take the vaccine, kek. Still I'm observing people who got vaccinated for any changes in behavior.

[Anonymous No.29310062]

>>29309890
what you should be looking for is the commonalities between the people who got vaccinated. this is a great opportunity to figure out exactly who the sheeple/government stooges are, and exactly who your allies are. anyone who gets this jab, for any reason, is the enemy and is willing to put government control and obedience over freedom and reason.

Adding to this "crypto = the next big thing" theory, think about the enthusiasm by libertarians or anti-government anons for crypto. If you were wanting to implement the post-fiat world order, these people would probably show the most notable resistance. Now you have them freely accepting this new system based on the narrative that it's decentralized.

I'm already planning for this. In Russia they had mandatory vaccination of all army conscripts with sputnik-5 vaccine. Entire Companies faked it and still carry the docs. In the US I suppose if you know someone who works in HC you can get what you need for a passport.

Its almost like advancing humanity requires collective effort.
Ironically, the crypto enthusiasts battle isnt with the elites, the institutions but rather as the book states the neo luddites. Its our fellow man, the one who wouldn't or couldn't accumulate any. Maybe they were too stupid, lacking motivation, not in the right circles, preoccupied with real life. Maybe they had the cash but couldn't conceptualize, or wanted stability rather than putting their cash into risky internet money. Whatever the reason, they'll feel anger, injustice, unequal, and they'll lash out. The narrative could be 'cryptos arent private, nefarious parties control you, youre not safe, youre not free', or 'they never gave you a chance to stake a future in this new system, you were too busy working for your country, your family, look at the inequality around you, they dont deserve this wealth, lets have a better fairer system'. The narrative will fit the feeling. The neo luddites will push back, crypto holders must be ready. Red pill as many people as you can about crypto, using emotive arguements sprinkled with facts. Its the best engagement method.

"predict"
Literally the most obvious thing in the world from a wish perspective.
Not like Bitcoin proof of work is that much better than byzsntine fault. Yes it is, but not by a gigantic margin. The innovation is "merely" 50% vs. 30% security and less communication overhead so it's a tiny bit faster.
In fact something like ARK with 50 validators is probably safer than Bitcoin with it's miner pool centralization.

thats mostly bull noise, but maybe I am. Although, I believe in the narrative that enough people have conviction in bitcoin as a network to hold it whatever the usd price. One of the only realistic ways that could render bitcoin useless is a catastrophic infrastructure failure; maybe emp and/or cyber attacks, targeted server fibre satellite bombings. And even then I believe that nerds that restart the internet would logically use either bitcoin or a bitcoin like network. Why reinvent the wheel?

[Anonymous No.29318307]

What about mining centralization, or dominance of the hashrate? That would be able to "shut it down" without taking out any infrastructure. Also, what about the Core dev team? Do you know them well enough personally? And who controls their access to the repo?

Both will become more decentralised with adoption. It wont come easy, maybe there will be 'hash wars', nation state level like violence. Likely a proxy war of sorts, of private companies and individuals getting funding and support from nation states to gain mining dominance. Fantastical yes. Its also why I think nation states will continue for some time, the monopoly on violence will force nation states to fight for their share of the btc network directly or indirectly. Bitcoin will be the object of desire much in the same way land, oil, peoples are.
Core devs have proven trustworthy over the last 12 years. Its a risk, nothings perfect. I think theyll force themselves out of systemic risk in future too, if they already havent. Theyve surely implemented multisig style solutions for code access, changes.
But look, theres several ways it could play out. We'll deal with it when it arrives, all we can do is educate as much as possible. Hopefully we collectively make informed good choices when the time comes.
