Bitcoin & Blockchain

BSV is the original Bitcoin and the only genuine Bitcoin

I’m not promoting BSV the coin. I’m not promoting any coin. In fact, I hate cryptocurrencies the way they are today because the whole crypto exchange ecosystem is cancerous socially, economically, and technologically. I’m here to support the BSV blockchain and its technology. I am for utility, productivity, and sustainability. If another chain proves to be more scalable, efficient, and reliable, my mind will pivot before my heart does. The following are three points I… Read More »BSV is the original Bitcoin and the only genuine Bitcoin

Universal Blockchain Assets

Dr. Owen Vaughan of nChain has published and presented his work on Universal Blockchain Assets. The Universal Blockchain Assets (UBA) is a novel protocol for issuing and transferring tokens across blockchains without the need for a trusted third party or cross-chain bridge. In the UBA scheme, the blockchain is used for double-spend protection only, while the authorization of token transfers is performed off-chain. Due to the universality of the approach, it works in almost all blockchain… Read More »Universal Blockchain Assets

The future of blockchain

In contrast to a corrupt future of the world exploited by crypto, the real Bitcoin blockchain is creating a different one. Crypto does not represent the true blockchain technology. It is a distortion at best. With its promotion of outright open Ponzi schemes, it is a fraudulent misrepresentation. In contrast to crypto, the future of true blockchain technology paints a healthy picture of a world supported by a New Internet integrated with blockchain. Regardless of… Read More »The future of blockchain

Crypto and trans-bubbles

The crypto industry is largely an empty bubble that will burst. Economic and financial bubbles are interesting phenomena to study. The ‘physics’ of bubbles is quite universal. The crypto bubble may seem unique, but it obeys the same law of bubbles. The trans-bubbles The most spectacular bubbles take advantage of both an expanding force and a squeezing force. The former attracts participants by taking advantage of people’s nearsightedness and greed, but the latter forces out… Read More »Crypto and trans-bubbles

AI and data decentralization

In the current Artificial Intelligence (AI) development, Meta comes out competing on a different principle: opensourcing AI. Some worry that opensourcing AI would enable illicit actors (both state and private actors) to do harm. I have not formed an opinion about Meta’s open-sourcing AI, but this pushing back with a comparison between bioweapons and AI is dubious at best.  When it comes to physical weapons, decentralization is proliferation.   You get bombed not because you agreed with the… Read More »AI and data decentralization

A nonproductive blockchain can’t solve the fiat problem

The two main points I try to make in Volume 1 of the book BIT & COIN: Merging Digitality and Physicality are: Both of the above require a vastly scalable blockchain with TPS beyond millions and an extremely low Cost Of Transaction (CoT). According to Satoshi’s vision, the Bitcoin blockchain was meant to achieve exactly these. But 15 years later, we have BTC doing 7 TPS while promoting an open Ponzi scheme. Worse, people have been… Read More »A nonproductive blockchain can’t solve the fiat problem

Bitcoin, decentralization and distributed computing

I don’t understand celebrating a tiny database & nodes…🤷‍♀️ I want peer-2-peer electronic cash. Scaling matters. Robin deLisser on LinkedIn Robin is right.  Scaling matters. Scaling isn’t a mere quantitative advantage in that more of the same stuff is done, but more importantly a qualitative advantage because it enables new things that couldn’t be done without the scale. See The Structural Impact of The Cost of Transaction (CoT). Regarding distributed computing, the decentralization of the… Read More »Bitcoin, decentralization and distributed computing

Bayesian probabilities and evidence

The COPA v. Wright trial ended on March 14, 2024. Judge Mellor made an oral statement at the closing of the trial that was quite shocking, especially for people who supported Dr. Wright or were neutral. See Judge’s declaration in COPA v. Wright. If the written judgment confirms the judge’s declaration that Dr. Wright is not Satoshi, I’ll give due respect to the judgment unless an appellate court overrules it. As an independent observer, however,… Read More »Bayesian probabilities and evidence

Judge’s declaration in COPA v. Wright

(UPDATE: the following article was written before the judge’s written judgment. The judge’s written judgment was released on May 20, 2024, and it confirmed the declaration made by the judge at the end of the trial. Dr. Wright has subsequently appealed to the upper court. Although a request for an appeal was permitted, a decision on the appeal is not expected until late 2025. According to British law, to receive permission to proceed with an… Read More »Judge’s declaration in COPA v. Wright

TimeChain that preserves humanity in digital age

It is supremely ironic, but fatefully unsurprising: Satoshi’s own identity case proves how important his invention is. In COPA v. Wright, British High Court Judge Mellor declared, before issuing a final written judgment, that Dr. Craig S. Wright is not Satoshi, the inventor of Bitcoin. Based on the evidence presented in the trial, the judge must have been persuaded by the allegations of forgery. This proves that the COPA strategy has worked. Logic dictates that… Read More »TimeChain that preserves humanity in digital age
