I watched Voyager locked away in my room, and secretly, I loved it. I’ve been known to dabble in DS9 even. So believe me when I tell you, Star Trek Discovery, I want to be your biggest fan. But I’m not. Not so far.\n\nSo this is my plea. Please stop hiring proven writers, and start hiring proven Star Trek fans. Because this is what proven writers don’t understand: I don’t need to see more space battles. I don’t need more action. I don’t need lens flares or space drama or heroes and heroines with intricate backstories that fall from grace and prove themselves at the last possible moment. I don’t need proven stories because I can get my sci-fi soap opera action sequences everywhere else. But you have the opportunity to do more. You have the opportunity to inspire me. Please show me a future where humanity is better, where society is better, where the future is one that’s not constantly at war with ever-changing enemies but is instead exploring the unknown to find new allies. I need that right now.\n\nListen. I promised myself I wouldn’t do this in front of you, Star Trek Discovery, but have you seen The Orville? I know it’s weird, but the last few episodes have been pretty good. It might be a better you than — well — you. I think you forgot that Star Trek was created for morality plays — to hold a mirror to society — to challenge us toward that better future. And where are you? Playing Star Wars? Stop.\n\nYou have a spaceship, and it’s time to turn this ship around. Stop flying it in circles above the same interpersonal relationships and interspecies politics, and point it toward the vast unknown. Point it toward a better future, and expand the Star Trek universe while you’re at it.",

Bitcoin's framework may be rooted in hard math, but it seems the people overseeing the protocol are ruled by politics. \n\nIt seems to me that no matter what we do, politics rules the day. There is also another big irony at play in the cryptocurrency space today: the centralized exchanges have grown so powerful that bitcoin's value is now almost exclusively dependent on those exchanges, which are also directly impacted by the corrupt politics and human error. \n\nI suppose all the exchange hacks have proven how insecure closed-source systems really are, but that doesn't change the fact that bitcoin's value today is inextricably tied to those fragile exchanges. \n\nThe recent BitShares desisting from Bittrex is also highlights how powerful the exchanges have become. One major exchange delists a crypto with 0 explanation or warning, and the value of the delisted token plummets 20%+ in a matter of hours. We saw the same thing happen with bitcoin and the Chinese exchanges! \n\nThe cryptocurrency enthusiast keep throwing the \"decentralization\" buzzword around all the time, but when one takes a closer look at the ecosystem, there's very little actual decentralization.",

      "body": "Excellent point on trust a big thumbs up!  Here is the best way to see where the value is from the token produced in a blockchain:  \n\nHere is how I see it: You see we are moving into a world of computational trust as people, governments and companies lose trust in each other. What do I mean by 'computational trust': hundreds of thousands of computers witnessing a transaction. New technology known as a token called bitcoin blockchain is a 'utility' and since it can be used like money some are doing such like me and my friends. The utility is: the most secure data base ever invented. As simple as that. My analogy is: picture it like a big spread sheet (an excel spread sheet) with 21 million cells. Each cell has a password assigned to it and that is called the keys to that cell. These keys can be transferred to other cell keys and are then owned or controlled by the new keys. There is even an open source protocol that releases these cell ownership controls over time ensuring decentralization and utilizing consensus systematic for any updates.\n\nSo now, what's the big deal in having a spread sheet that you can transfer cell ownership rights to each other? This spreadsheet is validated by lots of processing power every 10 minutes. Validated; means witnessed or notarized by the community and to date more processing power is validating the bitcoin blockchain than has ever been used for a single purpose in the history of mankind. Now then how does it become money or a type of currency: it becomes money when a value is attached to the controlling or ownership of the cell. Why would someone want to own such a utility or a portion of it? There is value in someone notarizing (witnessing) contracts in a manner so secure it has had zero down time and zero hacks or errors from the early stages - currently (bitcoin) now running over 9 years worth of 10 minute blocks of transactions. I call it triple entry accounting: a transaction 1) buyer 2) seller 3) witness by ledger and community (hundreds of thousands of witnesses). Or debit, credit and witness. You can sell services on this backbone and therefore owning control allows for a 'return on investment'.",

      "body": "![Alan_Greenspan_color_photo_portrait.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdyJBWH1DyK5BcJFGbFAKFy4SHrDeMMLNcin1UPdMh1AS/Alan_Greenspan_color_photo_portrait.jpg)\n\n“You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is. I haven’t been able to do it. Maybe somebody else can.”\n— *Alan Greenspan, Former Federal Reserve Chairman*\n\n**Bitcoin & Intrinsic Value: The medium is the message.**\nPeople love, hate, and are outright confused by Bitcoin, but I’d like to persuade you that the story at the core of this ever-changing conversation and the common thread throughout it is trust — who or what to trust, and why.\n\nWhen agreeing to accept a currency, you place trust in that currency to be worth trading in the future. Some commodity-currencies, like gold, have intrinsic value, but that value has been magnified by their historical dependability as a medium of exchange. Fiat currencies, like the U.S. dollar, have no intrinsic value except that they are guaranteed as a means of exchange by a government’s laws and, if necessary, its army. Both historical performance and governmental backing can validate a medium of exchange, but what makes Bitcoin interesting isn’t just that it’s created a better means of exchange — it’s that it offers a new source of trust: knowledge.\n\nKnowledge (or trust in knowledge) is what has divided and confused such a broad spectrum of people, and it’s what holds the frightening potential to resegment the haves and the have-nots into the hackers and the laymen. The key question for understanding digital currency is: Do you trust open-source systems or closed-source systems?\n\nMost organizations operate like a proprietary, closed-source system. Their internal activities are a secret, their organizing principles are unknown, and their security depends on secrecy. Trust is granted through authority and through relationships built over time. Most of the world trust closed-source systems, and it’s not hard to understand why an entirely open and transparent alternative might cause confusion. To someone who sees authority as power and secrets as security, a transparently operated currency run by peers looks crippled from the start. But to someone who’s learned to trust in white-papers and peer reviews, an open alternative to currency looks like a safe haven from human error and influence of every kind.\n\n![winklevoss-1_3651482.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZvYqadjrYQsX6KsLcGsQzenD6THYqWzynPcnoceD4Rpm/winklevoss-1_3651482.jpg)\n\n“We have elected to put our money and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error.”\n— *Tyler Winklevoss, Entrepreneur*\n\nAmong coders & hackers, we have a saying for closed-source systems made secure through secrecy and authority. We call it “security through obscurity”, and it’s meant as a warning — or sometimes an insult. To a substantially large and growing segment of the population throughout the world, open systems are trustworthy in a way that closed systems can never be. Through our technological advancement, we’ve learned that open systems are the most trustworthy because they are forced to be secure by design. They can be researched and understood by anyone who wishes to study them, and they can be peer-reviewed and scrutinized freely. Systems that require their implementation to be hidden for the sake of security are, in contrast, inherently flawed. To this population, an opaque system of government guarantees over a privately organized banking infrastructure looks like a liability.\n\nSo, do you trust open-source systems or closed-source systems?\n\nIn the end, your take on Bitcoin is going to depend on not just who you trust — but how you trust. Gold and silver enthusiasts trust that historical performance will match future performance. The world trusts the Federal Reserve to manage the dollar and the U.S. government to back it. But what Bitcoin offers the market is something that it hasn’t had before: the ability to place trust in your own knowledge and understanding alone.\n\n“There are 3 eras of currency: Commodity based, politically based, and now, math based.” \n— *Chris Dixon, Technology Investor*",
