      "body": "Utopian or Dystopian? Democratic or Feudal? Entirely New? Or All of the Above! And Then There’s Religion.\n\nAs some idealists would lead us to believe, governments are not going away. Governance is a critical element of human nature. In the present we have geographical governments controlling regions, we have corporate governments wielding armies of capital, and we have non-profit governments influencing both. These well-entrenched forces are not going to simply lie down and disappear. Before we return to The Light, let’s first consider the Dark Side because it is indeed in full command of the tempo, and consider what role religion is going to play. If you’re religious this will be gloriously offensive to your delicate sensibilities and you are strongly advised to bail here or face an alternate reality you’re likely not prepared for. I also apologize in advanced for my colorful potty-language, which I have unapologetically indulged most of my life and recently read it is a sign of being genuine, so this is more a PG-13 or whatever the shit they now call it, U17-type warning rather than apology. Maybe that was fake news I read?\n\nNow, our news, fake or not who knows these things, is in fact filled with images of war zones, the latest military tech, crazy assholes in their banana republics full of threats, tough-talking cowardly politicians in their suits, and major nations like Russia, China, and the US rattling sabers and deploying for conflict. The only hope for survival for the old order is to fabricate WWIII, send our young dreamers and innovators off to the killing fields or as Michael Franti aptly put it — “bullet-catcher’s, for the slave-master’s” — and destroy society to rebuild a new corporate-feudal order after a prolonged return to a wretched dark stone age.\n\nChange is often sudden and violent, and somewhat predictably cyclical. Governments enjoy a “monopoly on violence”, though perhaps not a true monopoly as corporate armies, mafias, and insane “religious” organizations are among those who enjoy some market-share. War has an economy of its own, so I’ll use some examples to illustrate what is involved, beginning with the Roman Republic. After Scipio Africanus defeated the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca at the Battle of Zama in 202 BC, a change began in the Republic where senatorial consuls began using their military commissions for personal gain and wielding them like private armies. The conflict between Gaius Marius and future dictator Lucius Sulla saw an acceleration of this trend as the two competed for supremacy of the state, which led to the rise of Caesar and culminated in the death of the Republic and birth of the Roman Empire under Augustus.\n\nImagine a roman legion: roughly 5000-men marching up the Appian Way in perfect formation all looking the same. And in 82 BC when Sulla landed in Italy from his campaigns in Greece, he marched on Rome with 5 legions and was met along the way by a legion led by billionaire Marcus Licinius Crassus, and then by billionaire Gnaeus Pompeius who brought three more; over 45,000 men. Over 50,000 Romans died during the Battle of the Colline Gate, and when Sulla’s forces reached the Forum to seize Marius, the heads of over 1,000 political and business opponents lined the torch-lit bloody steps of the Senate House. This was a huge battle, though not one of Rome’s largest, but where did all this shit-ton of gear come from?\n\nIt began with government contracts and financiers, who yes, have been creeping around for over 2,000 years plaguing humanity for profit, and a fuckload of slaves in a hole in the earth toiling to death for a mining operation, without the decency of bum pay, sick leave, weekends, or benefits. Once the ore was extracted, a private security force was employed to protect the transportation company as it moved valuable goods overland and or by ship, perhaps several times. Then a refining operation was needed before it got turned into a product for a profit. So to outfit 45,000-men for this one army, there could have been 3 separate mines in 3 distant and remote corners of the empire, which implies the cost of production had volatility and experienced spreads in currency exchange. Outfitting a legion was a highly sophisticated operation involving credit and managing risk, meticulous operation of a lean slave-automated assembly plant, and is really not any less sophisticated or too different than how it is done today.\n\nTo get a better sense of what was produced I’ll describe most of what a legionary had and leave out details of cavalry, artillery, and the rest. Of course legionary gear changed during many periods but in general they each had:\n\n1) Metal-studded leather sandals\n\n2) Thick cold-weather socks\n\n3) Undertunic (not sure if they free-balled?)\n\n4) Cuirass\n\n5) Helmet\n\n6) Gauntlets & gloves\n\n7) Cloak\n\n8) Backpack\n\n9) Tools for fortifying camp\n\n10) Mess kit\n\n11) Knife\n\n12) Gladius\n\n13) Shield\n\n14) 2 Javelins\n\n15) A shared tent\n\n16) Etc. you get the point, all built to the highest Roman standard.\n\nThat alone is a lot of military contracts, and war was arguably one of the largest and most profitable industries 2117-years ago, and with time and energy I could make a case for more than twice that long. Now imagine the technologically advanced Wehrmacht. Hitler did not just rise to power on his own; he enjoyed the backing of some of Germany’s wealthiest industrialists. The asshole was broke, and it’s not like he had a legion of tailors making and donating those Brown Shirts, like everything else it took money. Families like the Krupps were all too happy to profit off a giant army being made. Then there’s all the munitions used in conflict. The result was the destruction of the old architecture and order of Europe, and the obliteration of a huge generational swath of the population — not to mention others.\n\nThis sick human chapter created an enormous and irresistible financial opportunity: Rebuild the wasted old Europe with a modern new one, and of course someone had to finance all this. The 3-largest post-war banks, in order, were Deutsche Bank, Tokyo Mitsubishi Bank, and Citibank; somehow and perhaps not by chance German and Japanese financiers emerged for a time as the victors.\n\nGoing back in time to 1694 The Bank of England was private when William III had them loan the Crown £1.2 million (~$275 mil USD today) to finance his navy to wage war on France. BOE became a central bank (not nationalized until post-WWII) when it turned around and issued bank notes against that Crown debt. To give these notes value as a de facto currency, the sovereign agreed to accept them for tax payments. This created paper “fiat” money endorsed by the King, and established fractional reserve banking. Through this the BOE was given a license to print money, and of course they did.\n\nSo without getting too historically carried away, I’ve illustrated that while governments enjoy a near-monopoly on violence, they do so with the aid and sanctioning of the banks. Now I’ll ask, will bitcoin or decentralization really put a stop to this multi-millennial trend, or will the bankers orchestrate WWIII in order to guarantee their own survival? (with fuckface Trump at the helm??) Ridding the planet of banks would be a huge positive step for humanity, but we’ll also have to shitcan religion, and maybe toss out the venture capitalists while we’re at it (it is going to happen).\n\nAfter all, everywhere I look people are correctly saying these technologies render banks obsolete. The banks are like a cornered bear in the kiddie pool, and if the bear has nowhere to run, he becomes violent. Thus WWIII may very well be brewing; and if launched it will produce a horror that makes Hitler look like a piker, and humanity will suffer a prolonged, Teutonically-Gothic darkness like we’ve never seen before. That’s potentially the Big Bummer.\n\nI try not to waste much energy on such thoughts, but it has to be included in the Risk Factors.\n\nWhat about the Future of Awesomeness? There’s no amount of time I wouldn’t and don’t spend considering all the potential, and I sincerely hope we skip the Big Bummer and all collect 200 BTC at Go. If decentralization is “allowed” to flourish, I believe the world will fractionate into many different regions and city-states, and perhaps later coalesce into more geographically associated larger collectives, and finally, maybe, a single society of human beings living in Har-Mo-Neee. Hmmm.\n\nThe crypto-anarchists believe all will then be algorithmic utopian bliss, but this assumes everyone is connected and going along with the plan. Maybe one day, but it’s pretty naïve to assume we’ll start there. Are we going to maintain private security forces to protect us from roving predatory gangs? Does this mean no gun laws and I can collect all the military hardware I can get my hands on? Where did all the nukes end up? Are our carrier battle groups converted into the Neal Stephensonesque flotilla of freedom (avoid the dentata!) which would explain where the nukes ended up because now we have motorcycle riding sovereigns like Raven (sorry for the Snowcrash references, couldn’t resist)? Yeah, I’m afraid the idealism will come up against very real world challenges that do not resolve simply because we have a new web.\n\nBut assuming we do get beyond the challenges, what will these new city-states and regional sprawls look like and what will it be like to live in one? I guess if you’re among the religious-minded you can now enjoy the conservatively perfect Jesusville, or Mohamedtopia, or the Goldfarb-token-issuing Judeaberg, or any similar place where the intellectually-defenseless kids get brainwashed early and everyone believes the same thing and focuses on the afterlife without having ever focused on actual life.\n\nBut how long until they bring violence to their neighbors, because despite keeping to themselves and minding their own business the neighbors think their religion has indoctrinated a collective of mental defectives, and now there’s a mandate to convert them? After all, you’re either part of the club or not; “you’re either inside, or you’re outside” (GG), you either have the star or polo on your chest or you don’t. Will our new wonder technology fix this? Will we ever be rid of the Coulters, O’Reilly’s, or InsanHannitys of the world? In time I like to believe it will elevate us beyond this nonsense of concerning ourselves with what other people do or do not believe, as if some pathetic god needs us little folk to sort it out for him, but right now such an existence is a colossal stretch of the imagination.\n\nObviously not all religion is bad nor all religious people, but organized centralized money-involved religion is a real problem that is not going away soon or without a war, and I’m not convinced anyone has even tried to tackle this one in an actionable way, because the religious resort to hate and anger if you dare question them. What I want to know is, what kind of sick fucking god tolerates and promotes hate, racism, and violence?\n\nMaybe we should offer up a challenge? Let the holier-than –thou religious missionary have 8-hours to talk about their god and convert a non-believer. In exchange, they have to choose between drinking a heroic dose of ayahuasca, eating a pile of peyote or mushrooms, or dropping 5 tabs of acid. That would be fun, except for the 8-hours of suffering their intentionally fabricated babble, so maybe we should skip that and just wait for a chance and dose them when they’re not looking, one by one.\n\nThe biggest problem with religion is that it fears and avoids change. Avoiding change is like avoiding responsibility. If you avoid change then you cannot be an advocate for technological advance. Avoiding change is also not living life. Sadly for them, life doesn’t give a shit because it is a constant state of change, and attempting to avoid it is Borg-futile. Our decentralized technologies are bringing a rapid metamorphosis, and the best option is to let go of the rock and go with the flow, but that doesn’t seem to be the will of anybody’s god — such will only works when it’s convenient. Actually the most ironic thing about the uber-religious is their fear of death. I mean if the afterlife with the god is so amazing, then death is great because you get to go hang out somewhere perfect and leave all the bullshit here behind. But that’s not how it works, and this applies more to Christianity and not so much to radical Islam.\n\nDigital nations and city-states will become mergers of government and innovation corporations. Some will be like-minded such as Mormon Utah while others diversified like the great NYC. Some, like the Middle East, may become true paradises for the Islamic-oriented folk, where together in the sand they can continue rejecting their non-shellfish-eating brethren; or perhaps they get over it and get along? Others may be atheistic liberal cypherpunk hippy utopias, and then there is likely to be more domineering and controlling corporate anti-privacy feudal kingdoms run by mad profiteering CEO’s. Let’s not forget the redneck hillbilly whiskey tango slums filled with Schlitz-drinking dudes in schweaty wife beaters rocking the mullet-badge of honor as they dance to bad music with some wildebeest. Ouch.\n\nMany of the decentralized automated digital realms will begin with the best of intentions and end up being morphed into more centralized systems as we see with Bitcoin and its miner consolidation. Power eventually finds a way to corrupt, so multiple waves of human migration will circle the globe, where talented people bail their homeland or previous domicile that has degenerated, or become non-competitive, and settle in a place that suits their desires and offers the best setup. You never know when you’re going to wake up and realize your homeland has gone to shit. I mean if The Donald can become president, anything can happen, and hopefully in the future it becomes easy to migrate on your merry way when you wake up to such sad news?\n\nWhen I started writing this I thought I would end in my Happy Place with a utopian perfect awesome future. As I started considering some of the real problems, I’m left here wondering how we can really deal with divided views and especially religion, which has driven a wide wedge through the entire human race for way too long. Is the Vatican really going to give back all the wealth and property they’ve accumulated/stolen throughout the years, beg our forgiveness for their wars, rapes, murders and intrigues, lay down their claims on our souls, and go quietly into the night? How about the Islamists seeing others as “infidels”, are they really going to suddenly wake up and chill out? From my travels I’d say this is all very wishful thinking. It seems technology can build a better world, but alone will not solve all our problems.\n\nI end with one final thought: regions will degenerate and others will rise to innovative-awesomeness; but as we are one species on one planet for the time being, we need to let go of our pettiness and work towards a common goal or else the cycle of conflict will never end and dreams and visions of a great society will be nothing more than just dreams. As Jean-Luc Piccard once said, “The economics of the 23rd Century are different, we work to better ourselves”. This should be the goal we all strive for. Amen.\n\nSo I’m going to flip religion The Bird for being such a pain in humanity’s collective ass, and Trump too, because I had to write his name, and because I can here without fear of arrest or persecution. In the future I threaten to share my disruptive views on strategies, deployments, and implications of decentralized systems and distributed ledgers; on monetary theory, occasionally government, historic anecdotal indulgences, release a Kraken or two, invoke offending pagan idolatry, call bullshit, reveal many wild dreams and fantasies of a better world for my daughter and humanity’s next 7-generations while raising a great horn of ale to the Innovators…may they live long and prosper…Sköll.\n\nDream Big, Make it Happen, and May the Decentralized Force Be with You!\n\nI can also be found at https://medium.com/@akau.tau",

I’ve invoked “the fact of the matter”, that favorite conservative catchphrase that tries to establish one’s position as “fact”, and therefore beyond reproach, sooo offensive. Also annoying…\n\nBoulder yuppie: Ex-Zact-ly.\n\nChinese: “win-win.”\n\nMafia: “not for nothing. “\n\nMob wife: “nothin’ for nothin’.”\n\nVC: With all due respect the bottom line is you’re not thinking outside the box because it’s low hanging fruit and not rocket science; the devs simply don’t have enough bandwidth and we can disrupt their entire ecosystem 24/7 and scale by 100 orders of magnitude with the robust synergy of the first granular iteration that’s certain to go viral, so be sure to run it up the flagpole and circle back before fucknuts asks about the use case and tables the conversation because he has too much on his plate and then it’s back to the drawing board or we’ll have to take a pass on the opportunity but at least then we’ll have given the founders some value-add advice and insight along with a cup of coffee and a warning not to let the door hit them on the way out.\n\nOi vei.\n\nSo I flip everyone The Bird as they spew this crap. In the future I threaten to share my disruptive views on strategies, deployments, and implications of decentralized systems and distributed ledgers; on monetary theory, occasionally government, historic anecdotal indulgences, release a Kraken or two, invoke offending pagan idolatry, call bullshit, reveal many wild dreams and fantasies of a better world for my daughter and humanity’s next 7-generations while raising a great horn of ale to the Innovators…may they live long and prosper…Sköll.\n\nDream Big, Make it Happen, and May the Decentralized Force Be with You!",

      "body": "Bear with me as it may be the most important thing you read during this unspeakable administration.\n\nBetween 1997-2000 everyone was declaring the web was ushering in a “New Economy”. I never accepted the notion, but I also felt uncertain because it was referenced everywhere you turned. Bitcoin and blockchain feels this way to me now, but this time I’m a little more certain of where we’re heading.\n\nWhen the Bitcoin decentralized blockchain code was unleashed on the web in 2008, it sounded doom for everything middleman, that parasitic space that brokers anything between two or more principle parties. This alone doesn’t fundamentally change anything or declare past economic models obsolete. It simply means people and businesses relying on brokering deals are no longer necessary and will find themselves unemployed or out of business in the immediate future if they don’t reinvent their place in the world. Innovation increases efficiency, and the world is fantastically better without obstacles in the middle.\n\nAt the same time, many things are going to be very different. Just as the web increased efficiency by altering the way we do business, communicate, trade securities, buy, sell, and pay for things, digitized decentralization is changing even more in a very profound way. This sounds the cautionary alarm because we can be easily lured into rushing to conclusions and staking our bets on incorrect assumptions based on the past.\n\nFor instance, the ad-revenue model will die a quick and well-deserved death, which is great for us –unless that’s your business- and bad for venture capitalists, most of whom have staked their future on the opposite and for whom I have very, very little sympathy. As I’m leading the process of advancing that certainty among other things, I’ll have to leave it at that for now, but I assure you whether I succeed or not, it is a fact that this will happen soon.\n\nI use this to illustrate the point that we must think about innovation rather than look to what worked in the past and try to apply that to say a blockchain business going forward. Another example is the rather hilarious attempts of regulators, banks, central banks, and governments in general who are trying to fit their square peg of the past into the new round hole that has opened up under their feet. FCA, the SEC of the UK, recently put out a questionnaire seeking input into how to regulate in a decentralized world. The braindead thinking behind this document left me speechless. For example:\n\nQ4: What technology resiliency advantages, if any, does DLT have over other types of systems currently available?\nA: Well, duh? If you must ask, where should one begin?\n\nQ9: What other examples are there of DLT providing direct and tangible benefits to consumers? What are the risks associated with these?\nA: SEE answer to Q4\n\nQ11: Does the use of digital currencies to provide financial services carry with it different or more benefits and risks than current systems available?\nA: SEE answer to Q9\n\nQ16: What legal and regulatory challenges do firms find in fitting initial coin offerings into our regulatory framework?\nA: SEE answer to Q11\n\nQ17: Are there other parts of regulation where DLT might offer a new market convention?\nA: See answer to Q16\n\nSo did they hire a cave-dwelling Cro-Magnon adolescent child to investigate this, or did they assume anyone who knows these answers should waste their time on it? ARGH! \n\nThen there are the poor piteous banks, scorned and devoid of societal sympathy, who will meet their well-deserved fate without anyone jerking a tear. Their attempts at blockchain are like the bloody headless chicken carcass running in circles in the dirt trying to figure out how to wield the hatchet, a tool designed to be the instrument of their demise. They can build all the consortiums like Hyperledger they want, or as an eloquent tweet put it, the “hypermarmot”, but innovation and human will are driving their inevitable obsolescence with immutable certainty.\n\nAnd then there are the central banks, quaking in terror as cryptocurrencies sprout like cannabis weeds across their proper gardens, watching in some hidden defilade like a deer in the headlights. Oh no, what do we do, our debt-instrument fiat shit is being revealed for the dry-hard turd it is, and people don’t want it anymore. Boohoo. Yes. The fiat age is unwinding, or should I say unraveling? So does it go with a slow hissssss like so many nasty snakes slithering under the bed, or with an obliterating MOAB boom? \n\nAnd governments? Well, they’re fucked. And it’s their own creation. I began following politics under Reagan, a former loser actor who conveniently became president in an age of television politics with former CIA Director Bush for VP. Then Bush 1, Clinton Redux, the Bush 2 nightmare era, impotent Obama, and now, He whom we shall not speak aloud lest we be struck down. I swore Bush 2 was the low water mark but man was I wrong! So is there incentive and do we need a change? Gee I wonder?\n\nThe real problem for governments is they have come to represent waste and inefficiency, and a centralization of power. Lucky for us, or perhaps unfortunately for us, decentralization offers an elegant remedy for these maladies. Their only recourse to stopping their downfall and the end of the fiat era is launching WWIII to disrupt progress and innovation, and it looks like they’re working hard to make it happen. And if you don’t know, now you know…that is, why WWIII started. \n\nThis is super-scary because, sadly I need to invoke it, to say it, I’m holding my nose, TRUMP! believes in a diabolically demented and irretrievably stupid mantra known as the Fourth Turning. If this is news, then you need to read this crazy shit: http://www.fourthturning.com/ - please don’t buy the book!\n\nIn short He/they believe it is their mandate to lead us through the destructive cycle of history. Rather than thinking of awesome potential and positive futures, they’re focused and channeling energy into chaos and mayhem. The Fourth Turning (who comes up with this crap?) has some merit. It’s very loosely based on the i-Ching which uses 8, but to dumb it down to the level of their mathematically-challenged audience they reduce to 4-cycles. I can’t go into it as it’s already sucked enough of my time (you seriously need to read for yourself so you become aware of what is really driving the US), but its diabolically ominous.\n\nForgetting that lets return to a better future. The governmental trend has been to privatize state operations from toll roads to even military operations. In the future governments will become more corporate as profits are more evenly distributed among citizens. Thus they will become more brand-like and need to compete to attract innovators to drive their economies. Entrepreneurs and innovators will be attracted to the best designed and functional regions, and therefore regions with superior offers will thrive versus competitors who offer cheap or poorly conceived crap for their citizens (China?). \n\nBut why do we still need them? Many people in the community believe we don’t, and that consensus will reign supreme. Whoa, hold on, let’s talk about this, not so fast there speedster. This is only partially good, possible, or true. A good place to start is reading, “Blockchain Technology and Decentralized Governance: Is the State Still Necessary?” by Marcella Atzori. Free PDF: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2709713 \n\nHer whitepaper describes risks related to:\n\n“a dominant position of private powers in distributed ecosystems, which may lead to a general disempowerment of citizens and to the emergence of a stateless global society. While technological utopians urge the demise of any centralized institution, this paper advocates the role of the State as a necessary central point of coordination in society, showing that decentralization through algorithm-based consensus is an organizational theory, not a stand-alone political theory.”\n\nBing! She’s right. I’ve never tweeted or registered with Facebook, and I switched from Google to duckduckgo (who comes up with this crap?) a few years ago to resist the collection of personal data. We can’t ultimately trust private entities, be they central or decentral. They’re here today and gone tomorrow, limited liability and no real accountability. Look at Bitcoin. Some 92% of mining has become centralized in the hands of 5-mega-nodes, mostly in China! It’s no longer truly decentralized.\n\nIt also happens to be v1.0 or 1st Gen tech. I’m not buying the hype around it. I’m not arguing Bitcoin won’t go up in value in the near term, but pause and think logically about its long-term potential. The proposition is that the last coin gets mined 100-years from now. Seriously? Maybe we should invest in the original Atari gaming console you know, Space Invaders, Missile Command, Frogger, all the classics. The argument that nothing superior will disrupt it is both childish and naïve. A lot of the hyped price prognostications are coming from people holding positions who are trying to push the price up, but their arguments are unsound. \n\nLet’s not forget that any market is driven higher by liquidity, and that price goes down in the absence of liquidity. We can argue that an Atari console gains value because of present scarcity as a collector’s item, and maybe that means 100-years from now future American Pickers, or maybe the same two dudes are still rocking it thanks to life-extension technology or virtual avatars, will be flipping the occasional Bitcoin? Since Bitcoin is nothing more than an idea based on intangible code it becomes a real stretch of the imagination. Structurally and technologically superior alternatives to Bitcoin already exist, are now coming online, and others are in the works. Liquidity will flow to the best structure, and the Bitcoin music will stop and fortunes will be lost.\n\nEthereum, and boy this is going to piss people off, will also follow in the footsteps of the dinosaur and the dodo. Why? Because it’s v2.0 and there are unfixable flaws that I won’t go into but will be obvious in the near future. Its devs will leave for much greener pastures. Ethereum launched too early and made a huge tactical error in how it positioned itself, and one day fairly soon that cryptic statement will make a lot more sense. \n\nThis brings us back to government. Us bipeds require two legs to stand on, or rather, we need two pillars of trust to succeed because the decentralized utopia is functionally unsustainable. Government will improve and become more efficient with consensus-representation, more the way we wish it would be, unless we have to live through WWIII, in which case all this great technology is more likely to morph into our worst dystopian nightmare. Fuck that.\n\nSo I flip The Bird to TRUMP and his dystopian Fourth Turning crazy assholes for being the scourge of humanity. In the future I threaten to share my disruptive views on strategies, deployments, and implications of decentralized systems and distributed ledgers; on monetary theory, occasionally government, historic anecdotal indulgences, release a Kraken or two, invoke offending pagan idolatry, call bullshit, reveal many wild dreams and fantasies of a better world for my daughter and humanity’s next 7-generations while raising a great horn of ale to the Innovators...may they live long and prosper…Sköll.\n\nDream Big, Make it Happen, and May the Decentralized Force Be with You!",

      "body": "Blasphemy! says you; hear me out says I….\n\nI’m sick of everyone praising the Buffettmaster with no one calling him out for what he really is. To be fair before I rant out my Buffettbashing, I will first give some tangential history and then pull back the curtain.\n\nI started paying close attention to Buffett in 1994 when I was in finance, and I’ve religiously followed him ever since. I think it was 1999 when I noticed he was getting cozy to Bill Gates. I then watched as Gates dumped $40 billion MSFT into his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, at an all-time 52-week high ($82 if I recall)! \n\nObviously Warren was advising him. This slick move created a massive tax break for Billy & Mel, and allowed them to continue wielding their funds via the foundation, which for its titanic size has delivered exactly Dick for anything tangible in this world as far as I can tell. What could you do to make a better world with $40 Bil at your disposal? Can you name anything they’ve done? Go to their website and it’s all there. I don’t know about you but it bores me to tears and leaves me thoroughly underwhelmed and anything but inspired. Bill recently went to Norway and advised their $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund to invest in Africa, which is not altogether bad but hardly inspiring or my first choice of what to do with such a ginourmous sum of money. I digress, so I table this for another time.\n\nBack to Buff. He looks to buy companies (often boring ones) with a history of solid growth in a predictably stable market with honest (for appearance sake) high-quality management. When he buys a company he often pays in Berkshire stock and encourages the owners to hold it forever. This act virtually eliminates downward selling pressure and discourages short selling. For the acquired company it’s great. They get access to the Berkshire ecosystem and an unlimited line of capital if they can make a solid case for growth. Add it all together, the collective of companies comprising the conglomerate, and we get a lot of employees and their families, which is why he owns Geico and General RE. We’re talking over a million people feeding the insurance machine with a solid base of policies: health, auto, home, life, etc. Of course he’s also after the float, meaning the cash flow difference between what insurance collects versus what it pays out; it’s big, and it comes in handy.\n\nWithout analyzing the whole portfolio I’ll single a few out. He has some great assets like insurance, Marmon Group, Apple, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad and some shitheel companies with vile products like Walmart, Coke, Dairy Queen, See’s Candies, Kraft Heinz, and the lovely class-act Wells Fargo. I don’t shop at Walmart, not ever (it’s the smell), so I leave it to Amazon to bring them to heel. Well’s Fargo will meet its well-earned fate at the hands of distributed ledger technology, and good riddance, no one will shed a tear. But Coke, the DQ’s, See’s, and Kraft Heinz? What do they have in common? Well, they mass-produce the cheapest unhealthy crap possible or in other words, profit off poisoning their patrons. Us.\n\nIn 1989 I decided that I would do my part to put McDonalds, soda & candy companies, and all the other fast food franchises out of business. These industries feed off of “consumers”, their dehumanizing label for us, giving them money in exchange for their garbage products. So I made sure they will never get a single penny of mine, under any circumstance no matter how hungry or thirsty I am. Discipline! And when they acquire a product I once liked, Dagoba chocolate acquired by Hershey’s for example, I never buy it again (craft beer too!). It’s a small form of rebellion and I’m still eagerly waiting for the rest of humanity to wake up and catch on, so I remain patient. Even if Mickey-D’s goes free-range organic tomorrow, I’ll continue holding them accountable for preying on me as a kid with their demented marketing, and for poisoning all of us, so death to these criminal organizations says I; I’m happy to continue supporting the 1-off mom & pop shop even though Noble Sysco fuels many.\n\nAs an aside I was recently in Fiji and two taxi drivers pointed out the Burger King to me. On a beautiful island full of the best fruit, vegetables, and fish in the world, this is what people go for? Unforgiveable.\n\nNow there’s a single incident around 2008 that tells me everything I need to know about Buffett’s holier-than-thou character: his treatment of his tender granddaughter Nicole Buffett, a resident artist in San Francisco. Nicole was featured in a documentary made by the heir to the Johnson & Johnson (another pillar of quality and virtue) fortune. Her appearance and mild comments were all Buffett needed to unleash the Kraken. He didn’t even have the decency to speak to her face to face and look her in the eye. Instead the coward wrote her a letter as he disinherited her and I quote, “I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin.” He signed it “Warren”, when a month earlier the nice card he wrote was signed, “grandpa”. Then his spokesperson delivered this coup de grace, “Nicole is not Mr. Buffett’s granddaughter. She is the daughter of a former daughter-in-law of his who was married to his son for only about 10-years.” There it is.\n\nAs the second richest man in the nation, he must have felt really big crushing someone so small. Someone who grew up viewing him with awe, looking up to him as larger than life the way only a grandchild can. Such behavior is typical of the super-rich, and it’s disgusting. So behind all the praise sung to Buffett in the media, this incident is more revealing than any. I suppose we can also draw attention to the fact that he has accumulated some $75 billion, or in other words, his value is equivalent to 70,000-millionaires. Wow! Holy Shit!! Any way you want to dissect it I think I’ll take 75,000 productive minds to one, even if it’s his.\n\nAnother interesting Buffett fact is he pays himself $100,000/year, presumably because he hates paying taxes. I’m not in total disagreement here, and it comes down to a perception of money. A friend with a successful construction company offers a good illustration of how people misperceive their money. One day I suggested he look at the 40% tax rate he pays as spending 40% of his time at work, or 100 out of 250 days/year, doing nothing but producing taxes. Instead I suggested he be more selective of the jobs he takes on, buys some empty lots, and use the extra time to build rental houses to generate a 10% yield (land + construction = X; X*10%/12 = monthly rental, add tax & upkeep). By doing this you leapfrog the taxable event and go straight to investment/retirement savings. Buffett is all about CAGR, compound annual growth rate, so he is loath to waste any money that detracts from this metric. He also believes money in his hands is more productive than anywhere else.\n\nSo that’s Buffett rendered naked. Now I’ll pick on Munger. He was asked his opinion about Bitcoin and he answered, “It’s rat poison”. LOL!!! How quaint Charlie. In his defense he’s been pretty smart over the long years, but this view says it all. Reliance on twentieth century thinking is going to prove painful in the next few years and while Duracell might cash flow, I’d rather own Tesla just as I’d rather invest in Elon Musks ideas over Africa.\n\n(I actually have strong and unsolicited opinions I will absolutely share on Bitcoin soon and no, it will not be $500,000 in 2030 as a VC recently said because its more likely no one will care about it at all by then)\n\nSo I flip Buffett The Bird for painting himself as the epitome of noble virtue and irreproachable righteousness. In the future I threaten to share my disruptive views on strategies, deployments, and implications of decentralized systems and distributed ledgers; on monetary theory, occasionally government, historic anecdotal indulgences, release a Kraken or two, invoke offending pagan idolatry, call bullshit, reveal many wild dreams and fantasies of a better world for my daughter and humanity’s next 7-generations while raising a great horn of ale to the Innovators...may they live long and prosper…Sköll.\n\nDream Big, Make it Happen, and May the Decentralized Force Be with You!",

      "body": "Unfortunately this is our system. As a CEO and former bioentrepreneur who licensed technologies from half a dozen Ivy League institutions and built multiple biotech companies, I have many scars, and many bones to pick with the industry but there is one issue in particular that is easy to fix and people need to understand the problem in order to begin a meaningful dialog for reform. While a perfect solution eludes me at present, I propose an elegant evolution that will meet resistance from multiple powerfully-entrenched forces, but is actually easy to implement. Let us begin with indulging a little perspective.\n\nA heroin-addict musician writes a song and enjoys legal protection and royalties for over 100-years. Believing in freedom to live life as we choose, I pass no judgement on anyone’s preferred lifestyle and find it hypocritical that alcohol and tobacco are legal while cannabis and other medications of choice are vilified. Such morally authoritarian persecution empowers organized crime and burdens society with wasted law enforcement, increased crime, lost taxes, incarceration, destroyed families and lives, and impure black-market substances send countless thousands to ER’s and often the morgue. With all due respect for the deceased, without heroin we may never have had the amazing music created by Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia, Miles Davis, and all the other greats, and had it been legal and available in pure form, perhaps they would have remained among us for longer? I like to think they had urgent business elsewhere, after having already given so much, but who knows these things?\n\nWhile not all musicians are heroin users, and I apologize for singling them out, my point is the relative ease and extraordinary low cost required for royalty protection that continues generously paying from beyond the grave. Works created after January 1, 1978 enjoy copyright protection for the author’s life plus 70-years. For anonymous, pseudonymous, or works made for hire, a 95-year term from the year of first publication or a term of 120-years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first, is granted. Now that’s legit! Or is it?\n\nIn contrast bringing a medicine to market for human use is absolute blood sport, and arguably the most difficult, complex, and expensive endeavor on the planet. The legal cost of filing a composition of matter patent globally often exceeds $1 million and involves massive time and work by highly specialized people. If successful, patents afford 20-years of commercial protection. \n\nNow for the reality. Once the clock starts ticking you lose 6-9 years and spend $500 million to over $2 billion conducting clinical trials (I’ll leave out the vulgar-marketing costs) as you climb the regulatory ladder to final approval. Towards the end, vulture generic companies enter the market in full violation of IP protection and undercut sales by perhaps 90%, eliminating another 2-3 years of market. You can sue, but all the while they’re making a parasitic fortune and they fight back and tie up the court and it’s hard to justify the battle because in the end you lose either way. So you have 8-12 years and often less to recoup your upfront costs, plus any costs from failures along the way; and somehow you must make a profit that justified the massive risks. Hence the eye-popping retail prices we hate.\n\nJust as many drugs fail to reach market, many musicians fail to produce a marketable song. But the value proposition of writing a great song, which is also not easy, is still orders of magnitude more lucrative on a risk-adjusted dollar cost basis then trying to develop a medicine. Creating an artistic work also doesn’t require expensive and complex labs, legions of special experts, endless lawyers, and a labyrinthine regulatory hell. The productivity and risk associated with a single wasted life versus billions of dollars is also disproportionate. Herein lies the crux of the problem: that intellectual property laws are antiquated and require a massive 21st century-thinking overhaul.\n\nA simple fix would be to increase the 20-year IP protection, but this unfortunately incentivizes drug companies to gouge us harder in their endless pursuit of gargantuan profit. Instead, what if we fixed a yield curve using the development cost as a basis, and applied an amortization schedule? We add a rate of compound annual interest; let’s say 10%, during the clinical development cycle. This gives us dev-cost (D) + interest (I). To this we add the actual cost of production (P); D+I+P = X. Depending on several factors such as Orphan Drug Status and or net development cost, FDA grants a profit schedule of perhaps 100% per annum for 5-years, thereafter declining 10% per year, and terminating at P+10-20% for a 25-year period (overly generous perhaps?), or some similar metric. \n\nOr algorithm, as naturally everything should be registered on a distributed ledger.\n\nPerhaps one day we’ll have a decentralized fund to advance medical research, and profits use a metric similar to what I propose but instead of going to shareholders, go back to the fund for more research? My calculus is overly simplified and I don’t have all the answers, but hopefully we can begin a more practical dialog to solve this complex and intolerably vexing issue. \n\nGiven the cost and risks, we need to revisit how we incentivize the search for new cures. Without proper incentive to justify the endeavor, we’ll end up pissing away huge financial resources for more boner-pills, and develop fewer treatments for life-threatening conditions as the M.B.A./CEO taskmasters hunt for the maximum extractable profits. \n\nLastly, I’m compelled to point out that not all biotech/drug companies are created evil. Many of the entrepreneurs/doctors/researchers are seriously passionate about discovering and inventing cures for very complex conditions. What I found is that the corporate suite and venture capitalists are usually the guilty parties. As a startup CEO who was always at their mercy, or lack thereof, I left the industry a couple years ago thoroughly disgusted. We had a non-toxic functional cure that suffered an ill-fate for all the wrong reasons and the result is millions of desperate people continue receiving an expensive toxic piece of shit that doesn’t even work, because that’s what Big Pharma made and well hey, why innovate when money is pouring in? What these demented corporate leaders and their greedy boards forget is that nobody’s family members are immune to illness. This negligent oversight has done irreparable harm to humanity. And for what? Mo’money?\n\nSo I flip Farma The Bird in all its violating glory, as this unsolicited opinion is my final act in biotechnology. In the future I threaten to share my disruptive views on strategies, deployments, and implications of decentralized systems and distributed ledgers; on monetary theory, occasionally government, historic anecdotal indulgences, release a Kraken or two, invoke offending pagan idolatry, call bullshit, reveal many wild dreams and fantasies of a better world for my daughter and humanity’s next 7-generations while raising a great horn of ale to the Innovators...may they live long and prosper…Sköll.\n\nDream Big, Make it Happen, and May the Decentralized Force Be with You!",
