Blockchain is the New Global Data Network’s Authentication Layer

The Blockchain is a database that indexes transfers. The original method of transferring bitcoin was IP to IP. Nodes only reference the transfer.

Bitcoin’s sphere of truth

Bitcoin Core (BTC) has successfully created a sphere in which a lie is operative. Without a competing sphere impinging on it, the BTC sphere would continue to exist, and the lie can continue indefinitely in the human timeframe. Although it won’t last forever, it may last a long time. When there is a conflict, some...

Why is the real Satoshi so feared and hated?

Here’s the truth: Australian/UK polymath Dr. Craig S. Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. See Mathematical proof that Dr. Craig S. Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto. But most people in the crypto world still refuse to recognize this identity.

The federal policies on banks issuing dollar-denominated tokens

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) has made a policy statement on banks issuing dollar-denominated tokens: The Board generally believes that issuing tokens on open, public, and/or decentralized networks, or similar systems is highly likely to be inconsistent with safe and sound banking practices. The Board believes such tokens raise concerns related to operational, cybersecurity, and run risks, and may also present significant illicit finance risks, because—depending on their design—such tokens could… Read More »The federal policies on banks issuing dollar-denominated tokens
