It seems, there should be some entities or certain forces who are interested in compromising not a particular crypto project, but the very method of token sale. Without applying any factual argumentation many observers, bloggers, and the so-called crypto gurus are trying to convince a wide audience that ICO is a ponzi scheme where the greedy scammers offer zero-valued crypto assets to the even more greedy speculators. The only iron-concrete argument they use is the amount of money the ICO initiators collected during the last six months or so.\n“This is the pure bubble that will inevitably have to burst” is the message of numerous analysts. Another “argument” appeals to rather emotions than to common sense, “It is impossible to earn $800M honestly in such a short period. Besides, no respectable banks, VC funds, and State regulators are involved. This is sheer anarchy, why doesn’t the government do something about this?!”\nThe only issue regarding which they are actually right is that the core idea of ICO (as well as the major principle of the crypto economy) belongs to anarchy, to the crypto anarchy. This is exactly what burns the faces of the centralized authorities who are used to keeping control over everything related to the economy. They always hide behind the good intentions seemingly caring about the “average investors” who can be cheated out of their money by evil scammers.\nThe thing is that the numerous token holders and crypto speculators can manage to make, spend, and lose their money without having to explain themselves to the governmental bodies, banks, and other centralized entities. And the crypto projects whose successful ICOs demonstrate the rapid fundraising leave VCs and the old-school “credible investors” out of the game. Such a financial independence of the “pathetic humans” makes the fat cats very angry.\nOf course, crypto economy is shaking the foundations of the old world order. In attempts to defend itself, this old order intimidates people by the chaos to which crypto economy allegedly leads. In fact, crypto leads people to the pure market economy capable of self-regulating, not to the chaos. Is the crypto economy soft and nice? Not, of course, since the conscious choice and self-responsibility are required from each individual to play that game.\nThe roots of any scam or financial fraud are grounded deeply just in the old monetary system where people and money are separated by banks. Such relations are obsolete because there was no hint of the democracy in the days when people invented money and banks. The new type of relations between people and money is what the crypto economy offers.\nThis is 100% pure democracy when everyone decides which coin is to be used to pay for one or another product/service. Instead of banks and the State bodies, just the network effect determines the position of each crypto coin. The growing price of Bitcoin, for example, reflects the power and popularity (aka network effect) of the Bitcoin’s blockchain. Presidents, bankers, and governments are powerless when they are trying to affect cryptocurrencies. This is how the decentralization works: the opinion of any centralization bigwig is either meaningless or equal to any other “humble opinion”.\nThe attempts to compromise the blockchain technology as such have failed. Nobody can blame any technology in the drawbacks of societies. The nuclear weapon, for example, is pure evil. So what? This is just a technology, and each society is to decide whether it should be praised or cursed. But despite any opinion, the nuclear technology exists in the form of bombs and missiles.\nIn contrast to blockchain, ICO is a social phenomenon which is much more sensitive to the opinions, compliments, or critics. That’s why various centralized forces shifted their criticism efforts from blockchain to ICOs. The general message of such criticism can be articulated as, “Stop investing in tokens because you cannot predict the future of the projects who issued those tokens”.\nAt the first glance, it sounds logical. Indeed, we live in the reality where the future is questionable by default, and a guess as to the fate of any crypto project looks like tossing a coin. On the other hand, the very unpredictability of the reality equates crypto projects with any other human-made phenomenon in this world. What is the principle difference between investing in tokens at ICOs and buying stock at IPOs? Both processes belong to some kind of gambling. How can the State regulation prevent any stock from falling at any moment in the future?\nIt means nothing when a coin is just minted. Me, you, and whoever else can mint a coin anytime in several clicks. At this stage, any coin can have only a declarative value determined by the coin’s issuer. But actually, the value is zero. The very public recognition gives a factual value to any crypto asset. That’s what the ICO is for. A crypto project is saturated with user expectations when its tokens are purchased by the ICO participants. Since that moment tokens have gained the real value being pumped with the real money.\nAsking why Tezos, for example, is valued in $232M is equal to asking why Facebook is valued in $500B. Nobody knows. This is a public convention — peopled agreed to value them so. And this is enough to make a decision whether to buy, hold, or sell their assets no matter whether the assets are crypto or non-crypto. The product standing behind the ICO of Tezos cannot cost $232M as well as the actual product of Facebook cannot cost $500B (equal to the annual State budget of Spain, by the way). Does it mean that Tezos and Facebook are scammers? Not at all. Because not the product or a technology determine the value of any project, but the people do.\nAnother issue is the lifespan of a crypto asset. What or who will determine its duration? The only objective thing capable of doing it is evolution. Evolution implies competition, and the most fitted will survive. In the long term, the economy built upon some technology is beatable in principle. The quantum computer will annihilate crypto economy most probably.\nNo scam or fraud is needed to destroy some project and to devalue its assets. Just recollect Pebble Watch — the Company has left the stage of the smartwatch sector not due to defrauding customers or because of any other illegal activity. Both Apple Watch and Android Wear have competed Pebble thanks to mere technological superiority. And if Pebble were a crypto project, their tokens would fall at exchanges most probably. On the other hand, the network effect empowered by the Pebble token holders could keep the Company afloat — the equally probable possibility. To be frank, I’d prefer the latter…\nThe nowadays fancy practice of scolding ICOs is a bad manner reflecting the pandemic irresponsibility covering many crypto gurus. What are you doing, guys? Discouraging people in taking part in ICOs you are affecting the network effect — the backbone of the whole crypto economy. Criticize the certain crypto projects if you see some fraud in them. In any case, the evolution and free market will regulate out everything.\nPropagate crypto instead, explain nuances to beginners, share your knowledge and experience to improve the agenda and workflow of crypto economy. But above all, don’t deprive people the chance to practice token investment even though it implies the trial-and-error approach. Consider the consequence of the State regulation in crypto — we all will be shifted from the numerous financial opportunities by a bunch of the corporate fat cats.\nAre you really bored of liberty?",

Not tomorrow AI will become sufficiently independent and wisely creative to compete with humans head-to-head. The creators of the AI-powered solutions desire for eliminating the so-called human factor which causes mistakes and leads to accidents oftentimes. Besides, the AI solutions are conceived as the means to improve the effectiveness of various processes resulting in better feasibility and, as a consequence, in higher profits for those who own the AI solutions. In its essence, AI is aimed at replacing humans, whatever business sector is concerned.\nTherefore, AI is killing job opportunities of common people bringing at the same time extra profits to a very limited group of investors and business owners.\nEvery crypto project conquers a certain business segment regardless of whether it is AI-powered or not. Blockchain takes away the power of business bigwigs dispersing it among token holders. AI is shifting humans from the opportunities of deriving value from the traditional business sectors. Blockchain is killing the monopolistic right of the fat cats on profits from businesses. The reformation of the economy by the blockchain leads to the engagement of masses to partake in the activities from which they were kept away before.\nThus, blockchain is killing the hidebound order of people’s participation in the economy.\nThe essence and the major driving factor of any blockchain project is the network effect when the growing number of the project’s community members adds value to the project. It entails the increase of the value of the project’s product or service which is reflected in the price of its tokens. Thus, in addition to the creators of a particular crypto project who earn money doing some business, the whole token holders’ community participates in this business.\nThe very method of how the blockchain-based projects proceed blurs the line between different businesses and professions. Take private investment as the most obvious example. Who had a chance to invest in the early stage of a promising project in the era of IPO? The so-called credible investors composing only a very small fraction of the population were allowed to attend it. Now every common citizen, literally everyone is able to invest in numerous brilliant blockchain-based projects through ICOs. Venture capitalists have to double up.\nThis great review of the blockchain ecosystem shows how the crypto economy grows occupying more and more spheres that can hardly be disrupted by AI in the near future. And the most fascinating aspect of the present rapid evolution of the blockchain projects concerns the ease of transition of many crypto creators from their former pre-blockchain occupational categories to the new activities and business segments.\nEven though such a statistics is unavailable, I’m almost sure that by no means all persons who create blockchain solutions today had programming background in the past. Moreover, many of those who build payment services are neither financiers nor bankers, those who create gamified sovereignty projects are neither gamers nor the state officers, and my team working over the new-generation blockchain-based security service consists of neither bodyguards nor security agents.\nOf course, every specific crypto project invites professional consultants and advisors to share their specific knowledge. But it does not change matters since the fusion and the interpenetration of professions and activities symbolize the new type of engagement which the crypto economy offers the society.\nNot just the Kickstarter-like funding opportunity incentivizes the creators of the numerous blockchain projects to strive. The very possibility of pursuing various challenging ideas into action encourages many people over the Globe. Indeed, blockchain transforms the boring day-to-day stuff into colorful and meaningful contest where you are fighting the obsolete approaches and mental rigidity instead of competing with the analogous initiatives.\nJust look at the proposition section of Bitnation. Dozens of viable social ideas are available there. The ideas created by common people basing on their hopes and problems. Both the operability and feasibility of the future projects based on those ideas are disputable. But the creative potential of the community which is revealed through the Bitnation initiative is absolutely unambiguous.\nTo be frank, I’m a little bit dishonest comparing blockchain and AI. They belong to different categories of phenomena. AI is just a technology which is seemingly able to change the civilization in the future. A very small group of the highly specific engineers is engaged in the development of the AI-based technical solutions. Their joint efforts will probably affect the humanity indirectly through the consequences of implementation of the AI. But in the end of the day, people can face the situation when the employers who obtain the AI solutions will fire their human capital justifying such a decision by the efficiency considerations.\nBlockchain, on the other hand, is more than just a technology. This is a social movement which is actually disrupting almost all aspects of the people interactions. In contrast to the AI solutions, blockchain projects require as many participants as possible to be successful. The very human creativity and engagement add value to every crypto initiative. Blockchain has a huge potential to alter the entire labor market since the decentralization principle inherent in crypto economy gives people reasons for self-governance and self-employment. And due to blurring the line between professions, blockchain will expand the labor market by transforming both the avatar and the functionality of the workforce.\nIt remains to be seen which technology is more dangerous for the present situation on the global labor market. But blockchain is accessible to the vast majority of the people who are going to change their current outcome area. But the same is not true of the artificial intelligence.",

Native APIs, programming stacks, development frameworks, standards, protocols, programming languages all are the dark for the users. The more or less tech-savvy ones learn the characteristics of their gadgets in the scope of data that the manufacturers indicate in the in-box manuals. Users are convinced that Android 7.1 is better than Android 6.0. They may guess that an FHD 5.5” screen looks better than an HD 5” one. They suppose that an octacore processor is faster than a quadcore one.\n\nThe only thing that all users must know how to do exactly while using smartphones is how to tap/swipe on the screens. And this is really the greatest achievement of the entire mobile industry. The fact that an average mobile user is relieved of the necessity to know Golang or Kotlin for using Android-based smartphones, for instance, provides the unprecedented extent of acceptance of mobile devices by the global public.\n\nKids and grannies, professors and imbeciles, geeks and lamers all are absolutely equal against the usability of the contemporary smartphones. I just stand applauding the whole mobile industry for that.\n\nThe mobile developers is another pair of shoes. They must comprehend the tinniest peculiarities of both the software and hardware they deal with. The digital giants and true professionals keep their researches in secret. They share their knowledge at the specific devcons discussing only those aspects of mobile development that cannot affect their competitive advantage. The developers compete with the other developers, not with users. The developers’ conferences and meetups gather programmers, not housekeepers. The mobile users do not care about the programming stack upon which their Uber mobile app is built. And this is the right approach to how things should go.\n\nAnd now let’s see what happens in the blockchain industry. Assume that I’m a founder of a blockchain-based project, a decentralized application which addresses one of the social problems. The business model of the project belongs to the sharing economy. Let’s say this is an Uber-like project dedicated to the employment and security segments.\n\nWhy the hell I’m repeatedly asked about my background in developing smart contracts and the Solidity language proficiency? Why does nobody ask Jeff Bezos and Travis Kalanick how good they are in JavaScript, React, and Swift since their enterprise mobile apps are built upon those technologies?\n\nNeither me as a founder of my project nor the future users of my DApp need any reason for writing the Solidity code ourselves. There are many professional developers who can be hired to accomplish such an assignment, and whose task is to convert my business idea into the lines of code working on blockchain.\n\nWhat is the dominating discourse in almost all media resources dedicated to blockchain? What are the subjects that the existing educational blockchain-related websites are trying to explain to a wide audience? Hard forks, soft forks, SHA256, Plasma, Casper, Chinese ICO ban, “Bitcoin is a fraud”, smart contracts, block size, ASICs, BTC-E, proof-of-work, proof-of-state, proof-of-whatever-else…\n\nBut where is there room for an average end user? The contemporary blockchain discourse focused on the technological issues is leaving the social aspects almost aside. The so-called blockchain gurus along with a quite limited blockchain community are stewing in their own juice using a specific technical discourse for setting up an entry barrier for the rest population. It seems, that only an intimate knowledge of the blockchain technology can help people to join the elite club where the technology which is conceived as the future of the internet is kept in the narrow framework of the hyper-specific blockchain discourse.\n\nAsk the first random person in the street what s/he knows about blockchain and “Bitcoin is a bubble” appears as the most frequent answer. Why is it so? Because a wide audience listens to what public populists such as JP Morgan CEO talk. The majority of people does not even know who Vitalik or, for example, Naval Ravikant is. They have never heard about the VIPs of the elite blockchain club. This is because the club’s regulars do not follow the golden rule of the social media copywriters, “write like a human”.\n\nHow many blockchain professionals able to use simple words talking about blockchain do you know? Off the top of my head, I can name only David Siegel. In his unprecedented “The Token Handbook”, he managed to explain the token’s nature through the comparison of two garbage bags!\n\nHow many talented writers writing about blockchain for the average people do you know?Off the top of my head, I can name only Daniel Jeffries. In his recent brilliant post on Medium, he explained the relationship between people and banks with regard to the cryptocurrencies.\n\nHow many public figures emphasizing the social transformation capabilities of blockchain do you know? Off the top of my head, I can name only Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof, the founder of Bitnation. She describes the idea of the blockchain-based Internet of Sovereignty in such a manner that even the least tech-savvy person can easily comprehend it without much difficulty.\n\nWhen blockchain gurus are asking each other on Twitter why the present ICO hype is so crazy I see only one simple explanation there: just because token issuers do not overload the public with the technical details of their projects offering easily graspable solutions providing token holders with the means of crypto speculation. This is when the right methods are used for miserable objectives, unfortunately.\n\nMany may argue that blockchain is in the infant stage of development now, and the specific forums like Bitcointalk and the code repositories on GitHub are the right places where blockchain should grow up. However, the main purpose of the kindergartens and schools is the proper social integration of kids, right? Then how can we provide the social integration of blockchain having it locked up?\n\nThe entire blockchain community should recollect for whom this big deal is and who should benefit from blockchain after all. When we all recognize an average end user as the final beneficiary of blockchain, the other different approaches to blockchain popularization will appear most likely. Our ultimate goal should be following the mobile industry’s KISS (keep it simple stupid) method to make blockchain-based projects one-click / two-swipes-like accessible. Let’s make blockchain attractive and understandable for common people and the billion-users network effect will not be long in coming.",

We all are hanging out on the news of token sales, ICOs, regulation disputes, and on many other token-related topics so abundantly available now on the internet. Undoubtedly, a token as a smart contract is one of the most progressive inventions of the crypto era hinting at the rapidly approaching (at least many believe in it) fundamental transformations of everything where the internet is an integral part. It is exciting to assume how differently the new decentralized order of things can run if the crypto economics prevails. And tokens look like the only key able to unlock the door to the new brave world.\n\nThe dominating token-sale discourse is putting us quietly into a strict framework where the total tokenization seems a universal silver-bullet response to the challenges facing all blockchain-based projects. No alternatives are available.\n\nTokens just for tokens become an easy recognizable behavioral pattern of many crypto projects, unfortunately. Even the true leaders of the crypto movement are sometimes trapped by the everlasting discussions of how to make their tokens more valuable, let alone the numerous day-fly crypto figures dreaming of selling their tokens instantly for millions.\n\nDo many crypto creators ask themselves whether people need their tokens as coins? What do their tokens promise to people as to humans, not as to traders, crypto speculators, and investors? What value is standing behind the coins?\n\nThere are several subject-related questions in “The ICO Handbook” by David Siegel. The questions to which every crypto project must find clear answers before offering tokens for sale:\n\nUnder what scenarios will people need the token?\n\nWhat objective does the token accomplish?\n\nWhy is this token the best way to accomplish it?\n\nCan the same job be done better in a different way?\n\nThe questions are worth considering at least because David collected $20M in 34 minutes for his project at the token sale. But make no mistake, he has found right answers to those questions beforehand.\n\nThe token is a perfect driver capable of delivering a valuable project idea to users. Participating in a token sale people should realize what value a crypto project can add to their lives by means of the distributed tokens. However, it is quite difficult to find out the very meaning of many tokens after their crowdsale.\n\nBeing focused on the speculative capabilities of their tokens many projects attract just crypto traders, the ones who pay almost no attention to the social or technological components of those projects. At the same time, such a policy can hardly incentivize a wide audience unfamiliar with the peculiarities of the crypto exchange market.\n\nOnce the end justifies the means, the means should never replace the end. Those projects that offer tokens as the end in themselves either have no social value at all or sacrifice it in favor of financial speculations. Both variants are miserable because the end goal is lost.\n\nAn apparent metaphor with tickets to a football game can be applied. Assume that some reseller is buying up as many tickets to a forthcoming football game as possible in advance being aware that the tickets’ price will inevitably grow just before the game. Such a method of earning easy money is simple and reliable. The bigger hype the more money can be earned in reselling. Nonetheless, the tickets themselves have almost no value. Just the football fans’ expectations regarding the game add real value to the tickets. And the greedy reseller should keep in mind that nobody pays even a penny for the tickets when the game is over or called off.\n\nPerhaps only the time can set things right and the fittest projects will survive. Experience comes with practice and people are continuously training to smell empty shells from a mile away. There will surely be a moment when another useless crypto wallet gets nothing from its ICO.\n\nBut since a good nose for worthwhile crypto projects is barely inherent in an average person by default, the serious projects planning to reach their main objectives long after the crowdsale should apply some persuasive techniques making their tokens meaningful and desirable regardless of their coin nature.\n\nSummarizing the questions of David Siegel in a single answer-idea, a token seller should offer a particular promise meaningful for the future users. They should recognize the tokens as a piece of hope in solving their actual problems through the token seller’s project.\n\nFrom the technological viewpoint, token as a smart contract is objectively too good to be replaced by any other blockchain instrument. Thus, the task comes to fixing such an instrumental utilitarian use of tokens instead of turning them into the end in themselves. In other words, tickets should always remain tickets without replacing the game.\n\nFocusing on the functionality of tokens does not mean overloading them with numerous functions. Endow only one feature to your tokens, but make it absolutely clear and useful for your users. The simpler the better: users should grasp the idea of the token’s utility instantly understanding how it works and what objective is accomplished.\n\nThere must be a clear link between the token’s functionality and the final objective of your crypto project. Use FAQ section of your website to explain that link. Put your mind to create your whitepaper in such a promising manner as this brilliant Company has done.\n\nThe vast majority of people need solutions, not coins. Consider it and don’t forget that you are the master of your tokens to create them meeting users’ expectations.\n\nSo, stop selling just coins, offer people hope instead.",

      "body": "![1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZjgsoAzXZtXkiVMYdCUDsRiwCaCwwW67uDLJreb5mg3u/1.jpg)\n\nThe preparatory phase of the B-Umbrella project is coming to its end and our website will appear shortly. Since we are receiving many questions about both the functionality and the policy of the service, we represent 5 FAQs hereby. Everyone can check this presentation (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3G6GO7V7fnkS052d0lET0JQWWM/view)  to get the general overview of B-Umbrella. We are glad to get the interested audience’s feedback, comments, remarks, advice, propositions, and critics making our project clearer and more attractive for future users. New questions are always welcome.\n\n1. How can B-Umbrella protect the users’ personal data?\n\nSince B-Umbrella is aimed at making people feel secure whatever events happen in their lives, the blockchain technology offers a great chance to protect them against threats for their private relations. Eliminating any intermediary from the interactions between customers of the service and the executors, B-Umbrella allows keeping deals and agreements secure and private. Any third party would not be able to intrude into the peer-to-peer flows empowered by smart contracts on the B-Umbrella platform. And this is not because of B-Umbrella’s admins reject some national legislation or deny cooperation with federal agents, for example. The mere technological stack based on the blockchain technology and cryptography excludes any personal data leakage whatever hacking efforts could be attempted.\n\n2. What is the innovative business model of B-Umbrella?\n\nHaving no intention to reinvent the wheel, B-Umbrella offers the effective and popular Uber-like sharing business model. The innovative aspect refers to the mere security market rather than to the business model: contracting security safeguards via DApp on a smartphone is the innovative approach we offer. Besides, B-Umbrella expands the range of the safeguards inviting everybody capable of delivering any kind of security services. Everyone will get an opportunity to promote oneself as an executor offering some demanded and valuable skills to those who seek protection and security.\n\n3. What advantages over conventional security vendors does B-Umbrella have?\n\nThe first and the most significant advantage is the anonymity of both clients and executors. Nobody will need to publicly disclose one’s private data using B-Umbrella service. All the transactions related to the security agreements signed via B-Umbrella platform will be executed automatically by means of the blockchain-based smart contracts. Thus, the pure peer-to-peer workflow is provided. Besides, B-Umbrella’s cross-platform application will be invulnerable to any kind of shutdowns and interruptions thanks to the server-less architecture grounded in the blockchain technology.\n\nAnother advantage relates to the areas and activities where our clients will be able to find the appropriate executors. In addition to the conventional security segments such as bodyguard services, armored cars, corporate safeguarding etc., the non-traditional and even exotic specialties will be engaged. For example, it will be possible to order and hire the white-hat hackers who are able to provide various cyber-security services on a freelance basis. Besides, along with the officially registered and licensed security vendors, any private person who promotes oneself as a security specialist will be available for hiring since no any mandatory licensing is required to become a B-Umbrella’s executor. The choice and selection of the executors will depend on both the clients’ expectations and the executors’ reputation approved by the feedback of users.\n\n4. How can B-Umbrella prove the executors’ reputation?A special section of the B-Umbrella platform will be dedicated to the opinions of both clients and executors. Every user of our service will be able to match each executor with rating stars. Besides, all users will be able to leave a positive or negative feedback regarding any other service users expressing the satisfaction or dissatisfaction with regard to the executed deals. Thus, B-Umbrella imposes the responsibility for gaining the reputational ratings on the service users. Under no circumstances the B-Umbrella admins will interfere the users’ interactions to lose the neutrality. We propagate and appreciate the self-governance principles inherent in the crypto anarchy.\n\nBesides, any significant action performed on the B-Umbrella platform will require a definite amount of tokens to spend (similarly to the “gas” for Ethereum). Even if such expenditures are calculated in micro amounts, the very fact of spending of tokens will most likely deter unfounded allegations and biased opinions. In addition, expressing a negative opinion will cost significantly more tokens than praising, that therefore will make users think twice before leaving any negative feedback.\n\n5. Why should investors be interested in B-Umbrella’s tokens?\n\nUsers will need tokens to be able to use the entire functionality of B-Umbrella. Tokens will be issued during the token sale period (November 15 — December 15) in the amount equal to $3M. However, that initial token offer will not be the last chance to buy BUNT (B-Umbrella native tokens) once a special purchase/exchange token section of the platform will be put into operation after the main version of the B-Umbrella service platform is launched. The period between the initial token sale and the launch of the main version of the platform (approximately 12–14 months) can alter the cost of tokens significantly.\n\nSince B-Umbrella offers both a new technology and a socially valuable project, the value of BUNT will be growing in the market most likely. At the same time, the cost of B-Umbrella services will be fixed in tokens without reference to the market price of BUNT. For example, leaving a negative feedback about some executor will cost users 500 BUNT that is equal to $5 according to the initial offer value of BUNT. In the meantime, the price can grow up to $25 while BUNT value is increased five times in the market.\n\nThus, the interest of the early adopters and investors comes to offering BUNT to the new users of B-Umbrella at a little bit lower price than the average one can be found on the market (the purchase/exchange section of B-Umbrella will be correlated to the current average market price) but higher than the initial token sale price. However, the main advantage of purchasing BUNT during the token sale belongs to those people who are planning to become the B-Umbrella users. Their expenditure for the B-Umbrella services can finally be many times lower than the one of those who join the platform after its launch.",

A guy hanging out on the “Nanopunk Posthuman Assassins” group on Facebook (which is, by the way, moderated by the prominent novelist and AI guru Daniel Jeffries) proclaimed that all decentralization-intended communities are naive in general and the Bitnation’s one is toxic in particular. His argument refers to the class struggle in which all serious reformers are involved. He also mentioned the cryptowars (who knows what it looks like, please explain!) wherein we all will be fighting soon.\n\nI thank this person very much for raising such important topics as the contemporary class struggle and the attitude to constitutions. No matter his reaction was negative. It is anyhow meaningful showing that this guy is really passionate and attracted to the burning problems of society, that he is not just a miserable cell of the powerless and faceless inert mass of the majority. Thank you, brother, again for your engagement!\n\nAs I mentioned, I was unpleasantly surprised not because of a negative feedback regarding MY community (I dare to call Bitnation mine since I’m a Bitnation citizen), but due to the sorrowful ignorance that keeps a lot of people aside crypto anarchy and decentralization.\n\nA huge number of the active and intelligent people all over the world continue to believe in the adequacy of the so-called class struggle despite the fact that the social classification has changed beyond recognition since the days of Marx and Lenin. Be they withdrawn from the hell today to categorize the contemporary post-liberal society in classes, such strata as freelancers, remote programmers, and enormously sweated billionaires like Elon Musk would leave both creators of the class-struggle theory in a quandary.\n\nThe question is: why do many people appreciate their belonging to some certain social class? The division in classes is purely conventional and unable to offer something meaningful to the nowadays societies. The actual and fruitful struggle between, for instance, the contemporary outsourcing precariat and kleptocratic oligarchy is hardly imaginable. Even if the distinguishing between them is obviously clear and both groups have enough reasons to suppress each other.\n\nThe class division relies on faceless masses vulnerable to any kind of brainwashing, manipulation, and populism. Look around, lurk the history, and realize to what consequences the class struggle has led the humanity. Maintaining a balance between interests of social classes is just the reason of the Nation States foundation. Wouldn’t we rather refuse the classes as such in favor of the class-less communities?\n\nUnlike the earlier generations of libertarians, we have a powerful toolkit capable of transforming society in a radical manner. This toolkit includes the blockchain technology, decentralization movement, and crypto-anarchic philosophy.\n\nWhat is the precedent? Where should novices begin from?\n\nAcquire Bitnation Constitution first. Being a truly enlightening and liberating document, it is worth your time and efforts. Then join the community and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of crypto anarchy. And eventually, you can come across some brilliant ideas and remarkable people. Just check the following quote about the constitutions from the book of the outstanding philosopher and techno-anarchist Spencer Ferri, who has joined Bitnation recently:\n\n    “…If a government in the modern sense is an establishment which unifies a nation by codifying normative values onto a shared speech act called a constitution which pushes its value top-down by a combination of reward, education and violence; then a true self-governing anarchy may have to begin with these speech acts of individual persons defining their own epistemic sense of self through a constitutional declaration of self.”\n\nIncentivizing to reinvent conventional constitutions, this is what can undermine the very foundation of the old world order.\n\nIn order to possess the technical peculiarities of the crypto economy and not to feel yourself blockchain illiterate this great resource (https://blockgeeks.com/guides/)  is worth searching from A to Z. And of course, social media channels contribute a lot to the crypto anarchy movement.\n\nHold off on TV and popcorn, involve yourself in a meaningful activity. Paraphrasing the old motto of the class struggle we ought to invoke, “Crypto anarchists of the world, unite!”",

Everyone can speculate about the future taking no responsibility at all. That’s why any promise can remain uncondemned whatever consequences it may bring. If I promise to deliver some goods some day in the future, nobody is able to take me at my word because I am the only master of my words. My words represent my variant of the future — who can challenge my private fiction universe? The future lives in our thoughts offering a safe shelter to any mental speculation for which we can ever find words in our vocabulary. Mass media is nothing but the reflection of our thoughts that make our public assumptions, predictions, forecasts, commitments, promises, and even obligations regarding some future deals invulnerable to any liability.\n\nThe irresponsibility of the future is absorbed by the current crypto world where ephemeral products promised to be created at some future date engender an enormous movement of funds in the present. It seems people change their actual money for “ghost” products existing only in the whitepapers. What do people get in return? Just tokens.\n\n“This is all about the economy, baby”, as one of the former American presidents used to say. Tokens are wonderful with their self-sufficiency. Being created by promises they can play no part in keeping those promises. The future products and services laying behind their tokens are irrelevant at all. Who cares about whether the products appear as a consequence of their ICOs or not while the tokens are traded in the market bringing real profit now?\n\nOf course, some happy pills in the form of pre-alphas wouldn’t go amiss. But a finished product works better for complacency of the investors. Look at one of the illustrative and typical cases plenty of which is available on the internet now: a famous crypto project whose creators are so proud of those > $200 million they collected through several rounds of their ICO after several years of the feverish activity. What is that important and valuable product they offer in the end?\n\nA centralized crypto wallet. Holly crypta! A wallet! For more than $200M! Do we suffer from the lack of crypto wallets to add another one? No, we really don’t. What we need is the tokens issued by this project supported by the wide and expensive publicity and protected by the positive feedback of various financial bigwigs and crypto celebrities. We need the tokens to pump them with funds just for successful speculations in the stock market. Now. Today. Is the wallet worth $200M? Beyond any doubt it is! Another Super Mario or Tetris would be equally worthwhile and valuable be they offered instead of the wallet by those remarkable crypto folks. And of course, we are waiting for the next round of their ICO with impatience.\n\nThe trends of the times, one may say about the contemporary ICO craze propelling tokens just for tokens. It seems the entire crypto economy is coming to token sales only. The fancy rhetoric about blockchain, decentralization, and crypto anarchy looks like a pure literature aimed at prettifying the old merry financial bubbles. Some may argue that this is just the traditional capitalism when demand creates supply: people pay for what they need. But how about the post-capitalistic promise of the crypto movement? What about the libertarian values of the decentralized economy, self-governance, financial and social equity that are propagated by the crypto anarchy? When will the New World come? Where is the spirit of the true freedom flying?\n\nWe are falsifying and mystifying ourselves when proliferating token sales are accepted as a sign of the successful evolution of the crypto economy. The projects like that crypto wallet (which is not actually crypto as such being a conventional server-depended centralized service using crypto discourse for self-promotion only) add nothing but greed to those investors who buy their tokens. Such projects (constituting the majority nowadays, unfortunately) compromise the very idea of crypto anarchy propagated by only several really liberating projects and communities.\n\nNot the spirit of human courage and dignity but fear is the primary mover of those guys who are looking for the ICO hype only. The fear to stay out of the gold rush of token sales still remaining unregulated by the state authorities. The fear of losing their investment opportunities while cryptocurrencies are still growing, tokens are greatly appreciated, and the quantum computer is still under construction. That very fear of facing the public awareness when numerous fake and sub-crypto projects having nothing meaningful and valuable for the society are rejected by the wide audience as a symbol of the obsolete and miserable capitalistic self-interest.\n\nThink twice while investing in tokens. Look for a new technology or a socially valuable initiative in the background of crypto projects. Escape the fear of being left behind any promising ICOs. Once the crypto evolution is going on, it keeps the survival of the fittest that will inevitably deselect everything lucre-centric. Don’t miss the forest for the trees.",

Nonetheless, everybody is invited to modify, alter, upgrade, specify, expand/compress, and sharpen the following proto-philosophical notions once Crypto Anarchy (CA) needs its ideology to be more comprehensible and better defined.\n\nAny copyright is not applied here — we believe that information belongs to everybody. Especially when it comes to CA. No one knows how many principles should be created: 50, 150, or 500. It depends on the public interest and the number of people who wish to be involved in the discussion. However, more is not necessarily better in this case. We rely on those individuals and communities whose crypto experience and creativity can add value to the CA movement for making this world smarter and happier.\n\n1. All people are equal in their insignificance in the shadow of the Eternity.\n\n2. Nobody and nothing except the very Eternity have a monopoly on violence.\n\n3. Any personal attributes cannot represent grounds for an individual to dominate over another one.\n\n4. Only self-efficacy can make an individual second to none, and even then only for a while.\n\n5. Any State is an unjustifiable tyranny due to its own inefficiency.\n\n6. Crypto Anarchy (CA) is not the absence of order, this is the absence of a social suppression.\n\n7. CA denies any default subordination by admitting everyone equal.\n\n8. CA does not empower the majority because the number does not determine the efficiency.\n\n9. CA does not destroy any order since everything in this world is organized in an orderly manner. CA offers an order without dominance.\n\n10. Nothing is able to lead the humanity to a total mess since our thinking is definitely structured.\n\n11. Any revolution including the Crypto Anarchistic one is just a re-evaluation of the value systems\n\n12. CA offers the tools for self-efficacy improvement and leaves the right to use them to each individual.\n\n13. CA practices the ultimate tolerance considering all social contracts, philosophical systems, religious cults, and other various constructs of human intellect equally bogus. At the same time, CA recognizes their right to exist in the system of thought of any given individual.\n\n14. CA equates one with many since only the peer-to-peer (p2p) paradigm is acceptable in any interaction.\n\n15. CA does not improve relations, it removes intermediaries only.\n\n16. CA accepts any arbitrary self-identification being questioning any historical credibility.\n\n17. All socially valid merits and achievements of an individual are irrelevant for CA: only self-efficacy in the p2p interaction is taken into account.\n\n18. Any group activity in CA is a temporary consensus of the independent and equal individuals.\n\n19. Any cryptoanarchistic project cannot be coercive in nature\n\n20. CA is voluntary\n\n21. CA equates the reality with the virtuality\n\n22. All relations within CA are based on the requirements of effectiveness, whereas effectiveness is based on the private gain.\n\n23. CA does not recognize any moral imperative if it elevates one individual above the others.\n\n24. Any economic values and assets are conditional in CA. Only voluntary assistance is unconditional.\n\n25. Geographical locations are irrelevant to CA.\n\n26. Any political entities, state borders, and national constitutions are conditional in CA.\n\n27. CA is arbitrary: none of crypto projects is superior to any other one by default. Everything depends on both the project’s effectiveness and the private gain of the project users.\n\n28. CA is built on crypto projects, crypto projects — on code, code — on text, text — on word, and word creates realities.\n\n29. Cryptoanarchists believe that land belongs to everybody, water belongs to everybody, air belongs to everybody, internet belongs to everybody, and information also belongs to everybody.\n\n30. Everyone has a right to information, to all information available. At the same time, everyone has a right not to disclose one’s personal data as well as to delete, remove, exchange, disclose, conceal, that is to say, to do everything one wants with any information.\n\n31. CA is not a political movement having no any official ideology once political movements deal with the State one way or another. CA ignores the State completely.\n\n32. Being in the conflict with nothing, CA is not intended to exempt anybody from anything. CA just offers a different procedure of relations.\n\n33. CA does not recognize any individual’s responsibility to society: an individual owes nothing to the humanity as well as the humanity owes nothing to individuals. Any exchange of values between a person and a society is to be voluntary and mutually beneficial.\n\n34. CA is personal: any faceless mass is impossible in it. Any group of people, however numerous it may be, is a collection of independent, unique, and equal individuals in CA.\n\n35. CA is temporary:any crypto projects and relations continue over time until they benefit.\n\n36. CA is irrelevant to private property once it does not care about someone’s value system: everyone has a right to own everything has been obtained.\n\n37. CA divides people basing on the only criteria of self-efficacy within p2p interactions. Any other conventional divisions (gender, age, nationality, health status, social rank, knowledge, skills, experience, size of property, IQ, group membership, historical origin, political choice, popularity etc.) are meaningless to CA.\n\n38. CA appreciates the distributed ledger technology (blockchain) because it disperses the power.\n\n39. Any decentralization project, be it blockchain-based or not, meets the spirit of CA because any center is conventional and therefore is unnecessary.\n\n40. Being focused on personal responsibility, CA neither encourages nor prohibits any group activity.\n\n41. Operating within the easily verifiable environment of blockchain, CA does not indulge any individual reputation: everyone is personally responsible for one’s own reputation while interacting within the p2p paradigm.\n\n42. CA does not need to charge anybody with ethics: lie, fraudulence, and populism are disgusting in CA not for reasons of conscience, but because of their inefficiency resulting in the dismal consequences in the transparent and decentralized environment of blockchain.\n\n43. Being intended to help homo sapiens to survive, CA is ruthless towards the cultural heritage of the civilization, whereas the current cultural code and value system of the contemporary civilization obviously lead the humanity to destruction.\n\n44. CA is against copyright once copyright usurps the right to information and therefore usurps power: consolidation of power leads to the centralized world order.\n\n45. CA declares that the very ability to control information leads to the unprecedented selfishness of the modern people and therefore to the power of centralized entities.\n\n46. CA is against any involuntary hierarchy except the horizontal network-like self-organizations where any individual is not above the rest.\n\n47. CA rejects any violence while the right to self-defense, whatever means and methods it may require, is appreciated.\n\n48. CA does not recognize money (especially fiat currencies) as the only equivalent of cost of products and services: p2p relations admit any values for the purpose of set-off when they are acceptable by both peers in any given case.\n\n49. CA does not call for any deliberate political actions in order to forcibly change the current world order.\n\n50. Being the next evolutionary stage of human relations backed by the unprecedented efficiency of blockchain, CA does not need any deliberately forced revolutionary transformations since the CA-induced self-efficacy solutions contribute a lot to humanity and therefore lead to changing the entire world order as a matter of course in record time.\n\nThe above principles were not articulated when we developed our DApp project (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3G6GO7V7fnkS052d0lET0JQWWM/view) . However, they were bouncing around somewhere in the thinking sphere common for all humans. Connect to the sphere and join CA in order to make the ultimate personal liberty philosophically well-grounded",

This is not because people of the civilized democratic world have degraded being unable to distinguish black from white (this is the fate of the blinkered population of authoritarian regimes and pseudo empires) but due to the actual impossibility to oppose a personal opinion to majority rule.\n\nThe very nature of democracy makes the opposition of one to many impossible. The one against all the others automatically becomes a looser, not worthy of interest, oftentimes a social outcast, and even a criminal. A crowd imposes their “own right decisions” on individuals by means of what we call culture.\n\nWhen a president is elected by the 51-percent majority, the rest 49% MUST admit it as their own “free” choice too. Such an absurd and the obvious violence to individuals compose a basis of the entire contemporary democratic society.\n\nLone rangers are good for Hollywood blockbusters only. In the real world, the majority rules being embodied in the State structures — the institutions of coercion.\n\nThe whole contemporary business operates within a framework of the oppressed society. Both culture regulating people’s behavior via various codes of conduct and money issued by the centralized national banks constitute two main pillars on which the contemporary society is established along with those quite eroded relations of politics, economy, and production (destroying this planet in favor of profits of the state and private corporations), that is to say, of any sphere where an interaction of 1+ persons takes place.\n\nBut the most disgusting is that the absence of free choice dominates on the personal level as such as in social relations. Our thoughts are tightly fixed by the societal terminology. The epiphanies, ideas, and insights that we used to perceive as our own ones are conditioned by the upbringing and education being unable to reach beyond the sociocultural frameworks. This is the “embedded” democracy (majority rule) which in its essence is violence against personality.\n\nThe ages of cultural and historical suppression have created behavioral patterns backed up by the threat of the physical abuse coming from the state institutions of coercion. No matter whether a society is officially democratic or not. Any society just as much as any majority relates to any particular person in a fascistic manner. The mere majority rule has settled a fascist in our heads.\n\n    This very fascist forces us to accept (seemingly voluntarily) all that nonsense of the social contract that in fact is extortion — you have to agree with the view of the majority with a gun at your head.\n\nYou don’t accept another fork of Bitcoin? Ha, the fascist of crowd consensus snaps fingers at your personal opinion!\n\nAny attempt to change the situation from the outside is destined to fail. Philosophies, religious cults, political and economic utopias have nothing to do with the fascist of crowd consensus firmly embedded into our thinking.\n\nSociologists together with philosophers have offered nothing truly liberating over the past 200 years, as well as nothing really enlightening has been offered by religions over the last 2000 years.\n\nSometimes it seems that only biological transformation — mutations, modifications of genome, or cyber implantation will be able to alter the nature of “homo comunis”. Probably, only a radical biological redesign is capable of freeing people up from the rigid framework of their mental Matrix.\n\nSomething like this is proposed by Elon Musk. However, at the current stage of the technical development it is hardly possible. Moreover, in all likelihood when such technological opportunity appears, the society will take all necessary measures of neutralization in order to maintain its status quo.\n\nIt seems, there is no way out, and the only fate of humankind is to endlessly suppress individuals in favor of crowds.\n\nHowever, when the window of opportunity is locked from the outside, it is worth trying to open it from within. Maybe there is some technical tool capable of eroding the current system from within like a virus. What if it’s possible to use the ideologically neutral technical medium which connects billions of individuals throughout the world and which cannot be denied by humankind since it is the current stage of the social evolution.\n\nYes, the Internet is meant. Of course, Internet is also a part of a social contract. But the fact that the Internet formally belongs to nobody prevents it from executing the “fascistic” functions — the direct suppression and coercion. On the Internet each individual has a chance to be equal to many and even to outweigh the crowd consensus. On the internet, each person, every “little human” is able to disobey, to stop following the terms of social contracts that have been made without his/her consent, the contracts forced by the social-cultural heritage.\n\nLook at Wikileaks activists, hackers, and crypto anarchists. They do not use the Internet as just an effective communications facility. By means of the Internet, they alter the very quality of social relations. By their very existence, they declare a right of individuals to stand on their own despite whether society likes it or not.\n\nOf course, not the web itself makes hackers hackers. Their technological proficiency allows them to defend their personal autonomy and make their own independent choices.\n\nHence, the question comes to a particular Internet-based technology which can provide every user of a smartphone connected to the Internet with an ability to escape all social conventions. What can help an average technically inept citizen to oppose one to many and even to resist to all?\n\nIn order to achieve this, there should be a special protocol capable of eliminating all possible ideological, political, and financial intermediaries from any kind of private interactions of “free” individuals.\n\nThe only available technology encompassing everything above mentioned is Blockchain.\n\nAs a technology of peer-to-peer interconnections blockchain has been known since 2008 when Satoshi Nakamoto a legendary and still elusive person represented a financial aspect of blockchain — Bitcoin. Since that time, some fascistic powers of public consciousness realizing the danger of blockchain for conventional patterns of the centralized world have been attempting significant but quite covert efforts to fix the technology within the context of cashless transactions only.\n\nIt is crucially important for the contemporary centralized world order to make blockchain either a super-specialized technology of financial settlement or a part of pop and game cultures that cannot be taken seriously by the average citizens.\n\nSince blockchain resides on the Internet belonging to nobody personally and to everyone at a time, it cannot be physically destroyed or technically eliminated. However, it is still possible to compromise blockchain by making it inherent in the underground geek subculture irrelevant for the practical values of “serious” people so busy with surviving in the nowadays unbalanced world changing from one crisis to another.\n\nMaking blockchain officially illegal cannot compromise it completely — weapons, drugs, and prostitution are illegal in many countries that can hardly improve the criminal situation related to them. Much more efficient approach implies ether hushing up or primitivization of blockchain.\n\nAn unobtrusive but skillful propaganda claiming that blockchain does not solve any burning social, political, or economic problem can effectively neutralize the revolutionary potential of crypto anarchy. Especially when such a propaganda is vouched by some occasional (or intentionally induced like in the recent case of BTC-e) scandals within blockchain communities.\n\nAnother and also negative side of this coin is almost a total absence of a well developed ideological and philosophical background — the theory of crypto anarchy which should be actively promoted by the crypto activists themselves.\n\nUnfortunately, here we can see the destructive impact of the similar fascistic social conventions forcing the majority of blockchain-based projects to focus on just a business component of the technology. Earning “easy money” becomes prevailing for many blockchain startups whose ICOs degenerate into ridiculously grotesque forms oftentimes.\n\nAside from the narrow specialized “constitutions” and “manifestos” available on websites of some particular blockchain projects reflecting their specific objectives there is no any fundamental work which can substantiate the significance and value of blockchain as the next and more progressive stage of evolution of human relations.\n\nThe core peer-to-peer paradigm of blockchain capable of liberating individuals from the tyranny of intermediaries in the form of legislations, borders, banks, constitutions, and many other conventional regulations still remains blurred in the realm of practices and architectures of numerous utilitarian business projects based on blockchain.\n\nA paradoxical situation when practice outgoes theory takes place. The relative technological simplicity of smart contracts’ implementation or issuing own tokens makes many blockchain projects leave the theoretical and ideological rationale of blockchain aside.\n\nFrom a practical viewpoint, the formula E=mc2 is almost useless for each individual. However, a mobile phone, TV, or the Internet as tangible implementations of E=mc2 are definitely useful for people, let alone the States so much obsessed by another implementation of the formula — the nuclear weapon. That’s why we all learn Einstein’s theory at school.\n\nBlockchain also has its own formulas that are practically implemented in various DApps and services. However, a coherent theory, a well-formulated concept explaining how to transform the contemporary world of violence into the truly liberating crypto anarchy is still absent.\n\nNonetheless, there are several blockchain-based projects, such as Bitnation that are focused on the human dimensions of crypto economy — on the decentralization. Their program documents come close to the general theory of crypto anarchy sufficiently comprehensible for average people without a strong technical background.\n\nHowever, any crypto Einstein has not appeared yet. The one who can explain in plain English that crypto anarchy is not a virtual game and blockchain is not a geeky pilpul. The one who can prove that from the social viewpoint crypto anarchy is not a “democracy on steroids” but the new approach to achieving an unprecedented level of equity while blockchain is a practical method of gaining a genuine personal liberty.\n\nCrypto anarchy and blockchain need a brief but well-grounded theoretical basis in order to make any counter propaganda induced by centralization-oriented entities powerless. We need the clear and comprehensible definitions unequivocally proving that the governance 2.0 based on p2p paradigm is much more effective in its innate fairness for providing individual liberties than any other existing social system.\n\nEvery person should have an opportunity to easily realize the tremendous promise of crypto decentralization for personal development and individual welfare. The theory of crypto anarchy should provide people not only with a hope for better future but also with a reliable compass for proper orienteering in the sea of currently running blockchain-based projects.\n\nThe creators and owners of crypto-economy projects should be the ones who are interested in such a targeting first of all since the well-oriented users capable of making informed choices can easily become the new members of blockchain-based networks increasing the networks’ value, therefore.\n\nBecause we all are seeking the notorious network effect, right?",

Why? Because it just so happens that I possess only a few assets that do not seek to appear in a dumpster soon after being purchased. My 11 y.o. son can hardly believe that my Nokia 6300 has been still working since 2006. This is almost a magic for him whose generation has to perceive the outward reality not as solid as we millennials do.\n\nObserving all my possessions I can clearly distinguish the shift of approach appeared in design during the last decade. To be frank, I’ve noticed this phenomenon earlier, but the contemporary rush of consumerism outlined it more glaringly.\n\nI feel how the mere fabric of reality is becoming more ephemeral with those new commodities designed not to outlast the next gen release. The modern short-life things make this world rapidly wearing. The world of thing is losing its stability while objects become less durable and solid. The civilization of the endless updates is arriving obviously.\n\nSomeone may consider there’s nothing to worry about. Just another paradigm shift when people take everything easier. That may be so, but look around: we skip the deep sense of affairs jumping from one detail to another. We started taking everything too easy. Proliferating fake news reflects the trend of the epidemic ignoring which occupies the worldwide society. Fake news, fake elections, fake presidents, fake states, fake world, and fake life. Sounds not too inspiring.\n\nIt’s fine as long as it means a real paradigm shift in human evolution. The shift from a mundane consumer-driven materialism to a new stage of intellectual level where material possessions are to be less valuable.\n\nDoes anybody notice the intellectual rise of the global population?\n\nWhat can hint at a sudden spiritual conversion of humankind?\n\nThe strange and sad mismatch takes place in the material world where the matter is forfeiting its substance.\n\nThis is probably why the minimalism movement is gaining popularity among millennials now. The aptitude to hold all your belongings in a 25-liters backpack is rooted not in the convenience to travel light. This is because of the absurdity of owning commodities tending to disposability. Minimalists feel subconsciously that all those modern gizmos are obsolete initially. What is the reason to buy trash?\n\nWhat can you purchase today to bequeath to your children? Which of the contemporary consumer goods will be able to outlive its last review appearing on the Internet? How can you compare nowadays ephemeras with cars of the 1960s, garments of the 70s, tape recorders of the 80s, and mobile phones of the 2000s?\n\nThe actual paradigm shift is occurring in our perception of value. Virtual objects become more valuable than real ones. The most expensive and up-to-date smartphone costs nothing without its virtual amount in the forms of social accounts, cloud repositories, online services, and cashless payments.\n\nThis change of value imprints an invisible but indelible pattern of transiency on our mindset. Things, events, relations, and solutions become hybrid and unstable. Virtuality seems to dominate over reality since the value of virtual objects prevails.\n\nYou may argue that human relations have nothing to do with the contemporary fragile design of things. However, each material object contains the energy of someone who created it. The more labor hours and mental efforts spent for producing an object, the more innate invisible energy it holds. The things made by robots are empty at some deep psychological level. People can feel it one way or another. If you are immersed in the environment of such empty dead things, the things you not appreciate, you have to perceive everything and everybody around valueless.\n\nDemonetization makes people forget the shape and weight of coins. If you can not feel money in your hands, the value of money (and therefore of labor, work, job, employment, economics,) will be disappearing gradually. The newly advertised Amazon Go sub-payment system advocates nothing but a new level of consumerism and unconsciousness. Take everything you grasp without any pondering, deny yourself nothing! Don’t think at all: smart guys have already figured everything out instead of you…\n\nEverything is interconnected in this strange world. Neglecting material objects leads to disregard in relationships. Rapidly wearing things require similar owners. The value of our self is to be diminishing while everything around depreciates.\n\nHolding that old Nokia 6300 in my hand, I can feel not only the cold metal and shape ergonomics. I feel something beyond the materiality — the substantiality and reliance I may count on. The very values that occur less and less frequently today in the world of the fragile design.",

Only several internet news platforms related to cryptocurrencies have commented it without much fuss. However, the same cannot be said of numerous forums of crypto miners & traders (especially the Russian-speaking ones) that have been boiling loudly since that date. In brief, the problem comes to a freezing of about $4 billion of users’ funds on BTC-e crypto currency exchange due to the investigation conducted by FBI against a Russian person who was accused of black money laundering. As this Russian was seemingly a co-founder of BTC-e, the servers of the service were arrested (more details are here and here).\n\nThe most curious aspect of the situation lies in the obvious ideological imbalance between the cryptocurrency’s distributed nature and the centralized ecosystem (BTC-e is a company having New Zealand official registration) within which cryptocurrencies were operated. The question is: how was it possible that a huge community of crypto traders, who were clearly aware of the main drawback of every centralized web service — the central server’s vulnerability to intervention, were holding their funds there? Weren’t they apprehensive that sooner or later something wrong was bound to happen? It is unexplainable why all those crypto traders were using the centralized conventional (and, to be frank, obsolete) non-distributed service for trading and exchanging cryptocurrencies — the essence of decentralization!\n\nIt seems that their joint irresponsibility has led to the present dire consequences. Perhaps it was their greed that made them leave their funds to chance. Cherishing their self-interest they refused to think about hackers, fraudsters, FBI, and many other third-party powers who were able and interested in affecting such vulnerable and “fat” victim as BTC-e. The amount they have lost — about $4 billion — was sufficient to make even a pure angel give up promises, contractual obligations, and any other patterns of law-abiding behavior. In fact, they have no one but themselves to blame for what has happened.\n\nNevertheless, it is not correct to blame BTC-e users only for the wrong understanding of the blockchain phenomenon. They used to perceive cryptocurrency in a conventional manner as if it was traditional fiat currency because many crypto traders were focused on only one valuable aspect of the blockchain technology consisting of mining and trading of cryptocurrencies. However, the “money function” is the only one of many others that blockchain can offer. The cashless transactions provided by cryptocurrencies should be accepted as just a tool, a service function available within a blockchain-based decentralization paradigm.\n\nIt seems that the core problem of the BTC-e case lies in the fact that all those crypto traders were indifferent towards the actual true decentralization as much as many other crypto communities emphasizing just financial advantages of blockchain. Such negligence can easily lead to the consequences when the arbitrary exercise of the State authorities affects everything they need anytime they wish. Just think of the BTC-e circumstances: an investigation agency from one State arrested assets of a company officially registered in another State making dozens of thousands of people throughout the world lose their money. And this is a norm in the world of centralization!\n\nProbably the case of BTC-e will become a bucket of ice water giving many crypto traders a sober outlook for cryptocurrency speculations. But more meaningful outcome implies making people reconsider their views of the decentralization opportunities containing in the very nature of blockchain. Moreover, there are some progressive blockchain-based projects that propagate various services and DApps capable of establishing truly decentralized interactions between people and organizations in order to make them invulnerable to the State-induced arbitrariness. The projects demonstrate a different, more socially responsible behavior along with more civilized approaches to the problem of State violence and centralized entities’ domination. And even some their “growing pains” such as the lack of strong theoretical and philosophical background cannot compromise their noble efforts to free people up from the old State-centric world order.",
