Bitcoin & Blockchain

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 strongest reason behind the objection to Wright’s Satoshi identity arises from emotional conditions and reactions:  jealousy, fear,...

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

Digital assets are subject to property laws

Can a court of law order bitcoin to be moved from one address to another without having the private key of the first address? If the analog equivalent of this question was asked with regard to a conventional property, the answer is clearly yes, not even worth a debate. When it comes to a digital...

The myth of ‘Selfless Satoshi’

The ‘selfless Satoshi’ was a myth created by selfish people to serve their own purposes. Their purposes are very different from Satoshi’s purpose of serving the mankind as a whole. ‘Satoshi gave up all his rights on Bitcoin and gifted it all to us so that we can do whatever we want’ is the claim....

The Digital Dollar Project

The Digital Dollar Project's Whitepaper 2.0 represents a progress in realizing that the US CBDC is not going to be a new kind of money, but just a new kind of currency. Money is value agreement, while currency is value transmission technology. See Money & Currency.

It is also good in making the distinction between a 'bearer instrument' and 'account-based credit money'.

Asset tokenization needs a global public blockchain as a universal registration system

According to the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the tokenization of global illiquid assets is estimated to be a $16 trillion business opportunity by 2030, with tokenized financial assets, such as patents, representing $3 trillion of that business opportunity by 2030. See IPwe post on LinkedIn. Great opportunities lie ahead with tokenization of assets, and IPwe leads...

The universe is a timechain – the quantum universal timeframe

In a paper recently published on SSRN, Dr. Craig S. Wright described a new theory (philosophy) of time which offers a separate quantum universal timeframe as well as an understanding of the universe as an information system. See the full paper by Dr. Craig S. Wright: The Philosophy of Time (39 Pages, 3 Oct 2022,...

What does BTC futures surging despite FTX collapse tell you?

Forbes report: Despite FTX Collapse Bitcoin Futures Surge.

This is worse news upon bad news because it only highlights the problem in crypto. 

In any economy, there are always producers and traders, and they can be healthily symbiotic. But a collapse becomes a certainty when traders are trading on values that are solely created by trading itself (i.e., speculative value arising from speculative trading activities alone), instead of value producers who are independent economic actors.

The corruption of crypto is unique

I already wrote about FTX and crypto exchanges in general (see, Crypto exchanges are an obstacle to blockchain and DLT). Mainly due to disgust, I try not to make more comments on FTX, but couldn't help because the story is being spun in directions that are away from the core truth.

This post on LinkedIn is an example: Sex, drugs, and leverage - Critics are wrong. Why the FTX story has nothing to do with crypto.

Crypto is an obstacle to blockchain and DLT

The crypto-inspired speculative assets trading on insecure exchanges is not what Bitcoin blockchain is meant to be and actually is (see, Bitcoin is not crypto).

The entire crypto world has become an irrational Ponzi-laden frenzy. The crypto industry went in the wrong direction long ago and went too far by turning the original Bitcoin, one of the greatest inventions ever, into a multitrillion-dollar gambling of speculations over other people’s speculations.
