The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

Have you read the original Bitcoin white paper? It's not gospel. But the juxtaposition sends a strong signal.

Bitcoin Core, not Bitcoin proper, is very much a centralised asset contrary to urban myth - by its developers who change the protocol miners must use on a whim. So it's laughable when exerts say 'decentralised' or 'censorship resistant'. Who directs the developers is not yet clear but suspects were latently present at the recent COPA trial.

The SBR will not be able to spend most of their asset inside the wallets in their possession, during hard times. Being the seized proceeds of crime, they only have the wallets which don't always come with the keys! So it's hardly a good 'strategy' they can rely on. 

Nonetheless, hacked or stolen crypto can be reassigned via a court order so long as you can provide enough quality of evidence of ownership to a judge just like any other property. By ordering miners to reassign to new addresses in a new block where the keys are known. This is our primary business but restitution takes time to process through a long civil law case.

Bitcoin Core is technically nothing more than an unregistered financial security. Some claim it's price is being pumped by stablecoins artificially. But this is no different to the nonsense that goes on in global finance already. It certainly only has exchange value. If the people decide they cannot use it in subsequent exchanges for wealth, it gives to zero overnight.

I was surprised to see some of the characters arrayed around the table with the President. He lost in 2020 largely because he trusted bad actors with power. I'm praying hard he does not make the same mistake.

There's only one Blockchain that actually works as peer to peer cash at scale using micropayments, the original design intent. But that has been shelved by big tech and  the bad yet unjustified reputation of Craig Wright. 

Give me a 1000 crypto experts and I will show you only one who knows how it all works.

Very much a story of 'Rome'.

COPA and Dr Craig Wright's Highly Principled Autistic Journey

If you are very bored and like reading High Court written judgements, follow this link .  https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/COPA-v-Wright-Judgment.pdf  Warning: It is not pretty and paints the defendant in a very poor light. I'm not convinced with the ruling, largely because it follows the collective narrative so perfectly and feel the judge may well be unconsciously supporting it being unaware of the shenanigans we all know have been happening.  To be fair to the judge Wright failed, deliberately or because he had no choice for some proximate reason, to show any convincing evidence. The judge knew this pre trial and was kindly giving Wright an opportunity during the trial to deliver.  Wright could well be a serial forger or the unluckiest man alive. My view is that due to an important new point of law on property rights, to do with linking identity to the crypto assets, meaning that crypto assets are identical in nature to any other property in law...

Executive Summary of the Modern World

...and the imaginary rumours we still create to remind us life is all about survival  We still possess primordial inherited instincts Which tell us about constant impending dangers Our ancient ancestors used them as a survival tool in an environment which was constantly dangerous And with the advent of social organisation these existential threats disappeared Yet we still possess the instinct, like it remains in our DNA. And as a substitute for real danger we create imaginary danger, to fill the gap. This survival instinct still drives us as a primary function. Because it gives our lives meaning. More meaning than religions, fame or fortune. Much more. The drive is unconscious so we cannot be aware of it's powerful driving force This means there is no scientific analysis, logic nor reason which can attend to it It's also a collective activity making it quite remote for individual action to identify and act upon So what is the result of this artificial separation of ancient inhe...

On Freedom, its Obligations and Society's Preference for Slavery

This piece is going to talk about my preference for slavery over freedom. And how and why I try to hide my preference from public view. The meaning of freedom and how self awareness fails to interact with it? I talk a lot about freedom lately and it's clear I do not understand the meaning of the term I spout so boldly. Curiously, I quickly lose my confidence when the meaning of freedom is brought under proper scrutiny. Yet I'm not self aware enough to confess to that observation of ignorance at depth. Why is it hard for me to observe my ignorance and selfishness, especially when I want to be seen by society as a good, honest, law abiding citizen? There must be a deep psychological reason which is forbidden knowledge for the politics, science and economics driving society and its so called freedoms. I cite society as being close to the root and a driving force because I constantly seek validation from it more than anything else. Even family. Freedom and obligation are mutually i...
