Bitcoin: More Important Than You Realize

Bitcoin: More Important Than You Realize
Posted by Kevin Carson on May 20, 2011

Neal Stephenson’s novel The Diamond Age takes place in a future where encrypted currencies and e-commerce have moved most economic transactions into “darknets” beyond government’s capability of monitoring and regulation, causing tax bases around the world to implode and bringing on the collapse of most nation-states.

Encrypted currencies and darknet economies have been promoted by such thinkers as Daniel de Ugarte and John Robb as a real-world model for resilient communities in the impending age of hollow states. So you can imagine my reaction to recent news of Bitcoin, “a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.”

Jason Calacanis and his colleagues at LAUNCH describe Bitcoin as “The Most Dangerous Project We’ve Ever Seen” (May 15, 2011).  Not only is it “the most dangerous open-source project ever created,” but “possibly the most dangerous technological project since the Internet itself.”  It “could topple governments, destabilize economies and create uncontrollable global bazaars for contraband.”

The beauty of Bitcoin is that there’s no central server network to shut down. Bitcoin is traded from one desktop or mobile device to another via public key encryption. Short of catching and prosecuting end-users with harsh punishments — and we all know how well that’s worked out for proprietary content companies versus file sharers — there’s no way to stop it.

There are currently 6 million Bitcoins in circulation, with a total value of $40 million. Bitcoins are generated by a complicated algorithm, with the total to top out at 21 million. After that, increases in exchange of goods and services will be offset by appreciation of Bitcoins in value and deflation of Bitcoin-denominated prices.

This fixed upper limit and requirement for price deflation thereafter is one ground on which Bitcoin has been criticized. Another is that, since it’s not denominated in a familiar unit of measure like dollars, it’s confusing as an instrument of exchange for the average person.

As an alternative currency geek, I’d add the criticism that you can only engage in Bitcoin-denominated exchange if you’ve already obtained Bitcoins from previous transactions. This is definitely a downside, compared with the kinds of “mutual credit clearing networks” proposed by Tom Greco.  Greco’s mutual credit isn’t a store of value from past transactions — just a measure of value for denominating exchanges of present or future goods and services.  The backing comes entirely from the goods and services themselves.  Like the many local barter networks that flourished during the Depression, mutual credit is a system for facilitating exchange even when there’s “no money.”

Despite my reservations, I consider Bitcoin grounds for enormous excitement.  Pirate Party founder Rick Falkvinge calls it “the Napster of Banking” (Falkvinge.net, May 11, 2011).

As Falkvinge argued, it’s usually not the most feature-rich version of a new technology that achieves popular acceptance.  Rather, it’s the most user-friendly.  “… [I]t takes about ten years from conception of a technology, or an application of technology, until somebody hits the magic recipe in how to make that technology easy enough to use that it catches on.”

Technologies for sharing digitized music had been around for ten years when Fanning came up with Napster.  Geeks had been sharing videos for ten years when YouTube came along.  Falkvinge thinks Bitcoin will do the same for encrypted e-currency.  It’ll do to banking what BitTorrent’s doing to the music industry.

Here’s how Falkvinge describes the ramifications:

“The governments of the world are on the brink of losing the ability to look into the economy of their citizens. They stand to lose the ability to seize assets, they stand to lose the ability to collect debts. … All the world’s weapons in all the world’s police hands are useless against the public’s ability to keep their cryptographic economy to themselves. … The decentralized, uncontrollable economy where one lifetime employment is no longer central to every human being is something I’ve called the swarm economy, and I predict it will redefine society to an immensely larger extent than the ability to get rap music for free.”

This is vitally important to a central theme in my work: The emergence of non-state spaces within which the low-overhead informal and household economy can function, outside the state’s ability to impose artificial scarcities  and entry barriers and collect tribute for the usurers, landlords and proprietary content owners.

Bitcoin is monumentally important.  Encrypted currency has been at the Altair stage of development. If Bitcoin isn’t actually the Apple II — and it may not be — we’re still just around the corner from that level of popular adoption.

How Many SEALs Died?

How Many SEALs Died?
By Paul Craig Roberts

May 21, 2011 "Information Clearing House" --  In a sensational and explosive TV report, the Pakistani News Agency has provided a live interview with an eye witness to the US attack on the alleged compound of Osama bin Laden. The eye witness, Mohammad Bashir, describes the event as it unfolded. Of the three helicopters, "there was only one that landed the men and came back to pick them up, but as he [the helicopter] was picking them up, it blew away and caught fire." The witness says that there were no survivors, just dead bodies and pieces of bodies everywhere. "We saw the helicopter burning, we saw the dead bodies, then everything was removed and now there is nothing."
 
I always wondered how a helicopter could crash, as the White House reported, without at least producing injuries. Yet, in the original White House story, the SEALs not only survived a 40-minute firefight with al Qaeda, "the most highly trained, most dangerous, most vicious killers on the planet," without a scratch, but also survived a helicopter crash without a scratch.
 
The Pakistani news report is available on You Tube. The Internet site, Veterans Today, posted a translation along with a video of the interview. And, Information Clearing House made it available on May 17.
 
If the interview is not a hoax and the translation is correct, we now know the answer to the unasked question: Why was there no White House ceremony with President Obama pinning medals all over the heroic SEALs who tracked down and executed Public Enemy Number One?
 
The notion that Obama had to keep the SEALs' identity secret in order to protect the SEALs from al Qaeda detracts from the heroic tough-guy image of the SEALs, and it strains credulity that Obama's political handlers would not have milked the occasion for all it is worth.
 
Other than on the Veterans Today and ICH Internet sites, I have not seen any mention of the Pakistani news story. If the White House press corps is aware of the report, no one has asked President Obama or his press spokesperson about it. Helen Thomas was the last American reporter sufficiently brave to ask such a question, and she was exterminated by the Israel Lobby.
 
In America we have reached the point where anyone who tells the truth is dismissed as a "conspiracy theorist" and marginalized. Recently, a professor of nano-chemistry from the University of Copenhagen made a lecture tour of major Canadian universities explaining the research, conducted by himself and a team of physicists and engineers, that resulted in finding small particles of unreacted nano-thermite in dust samples from the wreckage of the World Trade Center towers in addition to other evidence that the professor and the research team regard as conclusive scientific proof that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition.
 
No American university dared to invite him, and as far as I know no mention of the explosive research report has ever appeared in the American press. 
 
I find it astonishing that 1,500 architects and engineers, who actually know something about buildings, their construction, their strength and weaknesses, and who have repeatedly requested a real investigation of the destruction of the three WTC buildings, are regarded as conspiracy kooks by people who know nothing whatsoever about architecture or engineering or buildings. The same goes for the large number of pilots who question the flight maneuvers carried out during the attacks, and the surviving firemen and "first responders" who report both hearing and personally experiencing explosions in the towers, some of which occurred in sub-basements.
 
A large number of high-ranking political figures abroad don't believe a word of the official 9/11 story. For example, the former president of Italy and dean of the Italian Senate, told Italy's oldest newspaper, Corriere delia Sera, that the intelligence services of Europe "know well that the disastrous [9/11] attack has been planned and realized by the American CIA and the [Israeli] Mossad . . . in order to put under accusation the Arabic Countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part in [the invasions].
 
Even people who report that there are dissenting views, as I have done, are branded conspiracy theorists and banned from the media. This extends into the Internet in addition to newspapers and TV. Not long ago a reporter for the Internet site, The Huffington Post, discovered that Pat Buchanan and I are critics of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions. He was fascinated that there were some Reagan administration officials who dissented from the Republican Party's war position and asked to interview me. 
 
After he posted the interview on The Huffington Post, someone told him that I was not sound on 9/11. In a panic the reporter contacted me, demanding to know if I disbelieved the official 9/11 story. I replied that being neither architect, engineer, physicist, chemist, pilot, nor firefighter, I had little to contribute to understanding the event, but that I had reported that various experts had raised questions.
 
The reporter was terrified that he might somehow have given a 9/11 skeptic credibility and be fired for interviewing me about my war views for The Huffington Post. He quickly added at the beginning and, if memory serves, ending of the posted interview words to the effect that my lack of soundness on 9/11 meant that my views on the wars could be disregarded. If only he had known that I was unsure about the official 9/11 story, there would have been no interview.
 
One doesn't have to be a scientist, architect, engineer, pilot or firefighter to notice astonishing anomalies in the 9/11 story. Assume that the official story is correct and that a band of terrorists outwitted not only the CIA and FBI, but also all 16 US intelligence agencies and those of our NATO allies and Israel's notorious Mossad, along with the National Security Council, NORAD, air traffic control and airport security four times in one hour on the same morning. Accept that this group of terrorists pulled off a feat worthy of a James Bond movie and delivered a humiliating blow to the world's only superpower. 
 
If something like this really happened, would not the president, the Congress, and the media be demanding to know how such an improbable thing could have happened? Investigation and accountability would be the order of the day. Yet President Bush and Vice President Cheney resisted the pleas and demands for an investigation from the 9/11 families for one year, or was it two, before finally appointing  a non-expert committee of politicians to listen to whatever the government chose to tell them. One of the politicians resigned from the commission on the grounds that "the fix is in."
 
Even the two chairmen and the chief legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission wrote books in which they stated that they believe that members of the military and other parts of the government lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the matter for investigation and prosecution.
 
Thomas Kean, chairman of the 9/11 Commission, said: "FAA and NORAD officials advanced an account of 9/11 that was untrue . . . We, to this day don't know why NORAD told us what they told us . . . It was just so far from the truth."
 
Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton said: "We had a very short time frame . . . we did not have enough money . . . We had a lot of people strongly opposed to what we did. We had a lot of trouble getting access to documents and to people. . . . So there were all kinds of reasons we thought we were set up to fail."
 
As far as I know, not a single member of the government or the media made an issue of why the military would lie to the commission. This is another anomaly for which we have no explanation.
 
The greatest puzzle is the conclusion drawn by a national audience from watching on their TV screens the collapse of the WTC towers. Most seem satisfied that the towers fell down as a result of structural damage inflicted by the airliners and from limited, low-temperature fires. Yet what the images show is not buildings falling down, but buildings blowing up. Buildings that are destroyed by fires and structural damage do not disintegrate in 10 seconds or less into fine dust with massive steel beams sliced at each floor level by high temperatures that building fires cannot attain. It has never happened, and it never will.
 
Conduct an experiment. Free your mind of the programmed explanation of the towers' destruction and try to discern what your eyes are telling you as you watch the videos of the towers that are available online. Is that the way buildings fall down from damage, or is that the way buildings are brought down by explosives? Little doubt, many Americans prefer the official story to the implications that follow from concluding that the official story is untrue.
 
If reports are correct, the US government has gone into the business of managing the public's perceptions of news and events. Apparently, the Pentagon has implemented Perception Management Psychological Operations. There are also reports that the State Department and other government agencies use Facebook and Twitter to stir up problems for the Syrian, Iranian, Russian, Chinese, and Venezuela governments in efforts to unseat governments not controlled by Washington. In addition, there are reports that both governments and private organizations employ "trolls" to surf the Internet and to attempt to discredit in blogs and comment sections reports and writers who are out of step with their interests. I believe I have encountered trolls myself.
 
In addition to managing our perceptions, much is simply never reported. On May 19, 2011, the 14-decade-old British newspaper, The Statesman, reported that the Press Trust of India has reported that the Chinese government has warned Washington "in unequivocal terms that any attack on Pakistan would be construed as an attack on China," and advised the US government "to respect Pakistan's sovereignty."
 
As trends forecaster Gerald Celente and I have warned, the warmongers in Washington are driving the world toward World War III. Once a country is captured by its military/security complex, the demand for profit drives the country deeper into war. Perhaps this news report from India is a hoax, or perhaps the never-diligent mainstream media will catch up with the news tomorrow, but so far this extraordinary warning from China has not been reported in the US media. [I had it posted on OEN.]
 
The mainstream media and a significant portion of the Internet are content for our perceptions to be managed by psy-ops and by non-reporting. This is why I wrote not long ago that today Americans are living in George Orwell's 1984.

A democracy is no more than an aristocracy of orators. The people are so readily moved by demagogues that control must be exercised by the government over speech and press. -- Thomas Hobbes

The art of politics, under democracy, is simply the art of ringing it. Two branches reveal themselves. There is the art of the demagogue, and there is the art of what may be called, by a shot-gun marriage of Latin and Greek, the demaslave. They are complementary, and both of them are degrading to their practitioners. The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

Re: Empty Ritual is stymieing America’s hopes


You frame a false dilemma, but FAIL -- again -- to explain why 10% GNP is *magically* optimum (as you claimed).

Regard$,
--MJ

When you unmask it, ... you see that taxation is highwaymanry [highway robbery] made respectable by custom, thievery made moral by law; there isn't a decent thing to be said for it, as to origin, principle or its effects on the social order. Man's adjustment to this iniquity has permitted its force to gain momentum like an unopposed crime wave, and the resulting social devastation is what the socialists have long predicted and prayed for ... In principle this income tax, as the founders of the Constitution realized, is more vicious than any other, for it is a direct attack on the sanctity of private property. ... If you follow through on the principle involved, you come to the conclusion that the individual's right to property is a temporary and revocable stewardship.  The Jeffersonian ideal of inalienable rights is liquidated, and substituted for it is the Marxist concept of state supremacy. -- Frank Chodorov

یہ حالات کیو ں ہیں؟؟ کس لئے ہیں ؟؟کب سے ہیں ؟؟کس کو ان حالات کی ضرورت ہے ؟؟بہت سارے سوال دل کے دریچوں سے نکل کر زبان تک آ کر رک جا تے ہیں کہ یہ سب کیو ں ہو رہا ہے۔اور ان کا ایک ہی جواب مل رہا ہے کہ یہ حالات صرف بجلی کی کمی کی وجہ سے ہیں۔ جس کی وجہ سے صنعتیں بند ہو گئی ہیں مزدور ''چھٹی ''پہ'' بھیج'' دیئے گئے ہیں۔ مریض آپریشن نہ ہو نے کی وجہ سے موت کی آ غوش میں جا رہے ہیں ۔ مہنگا ئی میں دن بدن اضا فہ ہو رہا ہے اور مہنگا ئی میں 100%سے بھی اوپر اضا فہ ہو گیا ہے ۔ ہر طرف بجلی دو بجلی دو کی آوازیں ہیں ۔اور حکومت بجا ئے کچھ کر نے کے عوا م کو اس کا ذمہ دار قرار د ے رہی ہے ۔ (کیو نکہ عوام ہی بجلی ''استعما ل'' کرتی ہے اور حکومتی ایوانوں ۔ صدر ہا ؤس ، وزیراعظم ہاؤس ، وزیراعلی ہا ؤس میں تو'' موم بتی'' استعما ل کی جا تی ہے وہ تو خود مظلوم ہیں)۔ اور حکو مت خود کو ''مظلوم'' ثا بت کر نے پر تلی ہو ئی ہے اور ہمارے پیارے صدر اور ا ن کی ہی جما عت کے وزیر پا نی و بجلی کی ''سو ئی'' صرف رینٹل پا ور پر اڑی ہو ئی ہے۔ یہ وہی وزیر ہیں جو کہ پچھلے تین سال سے عوام کو ''جھو ٹ ''کا لالی پاپ دے کر بہلا رہے ہیں۔ایک طرف تو یہ صورتحال ہے تو دوسری ہماری اپوزیشن جس کو صرف اپنی سیٹوں سے غر ض ہے وہ بھی اس مسلے کو حکومت تک پہنچا نے میں دل چسپی نہیں لے رہی اور حال تو یہ ہے کہ ملک کی تقدیر کے فیصلے ایئر کنڈپشنز کمروں میں کئے جا تے ہیں جہاں ان کی سو چ اور ملکی ضروریات ۔ عوام کا دکھ سب فریز ہو جا تے ہیں اور حالیہ فیصلے کی وجہ سے ملکی عوام کو دو چھٹیوں کا تحفہ دیا گیا ہے ۔ (دو چھٹیاں ہو نی بھی چا ہیءں پورا ملک امیروں کا تو ہے ۔)اور یہ بات بھی ایک لطیفے سے م نہیں کہ یہ کا نفرنس بھی ہمارے حکومتی نمائندوں نے کی۔ ہو نا تو یہ چا ہیئے تھا کہ اس میں کوئی اس فیلڈ کے بندے بلا ئے جا تے ۔ مگر یہاں ہمیشہ سے'' الٹی گنگا'' بہنے کی وجہ سے اس مسئلے کا بھی حکومت نے ہی حل نکلا ۔ کیا نرالا حل ہے ۔ واہ بھئی واہ ۔ اس کے ساتھ ساتھ ہماری عوام کو بھی اپنا خیال نہیں کہ ہم سارے نواز شریف صا حب کے ساتھ تو ایک منٹ میں ہو گئے تھے اور جنا ب چیف جسٹس صا حب کے لئے لا نگ مارچ میں حصہ لیا تو پھر اپنے حق کے لئے کیوں خا مو ش ہیں ؟؟ کیو ں وہ اس پر آواز بلند نہیں کر رہے؟؟ ہر کسی نے خا موشی اپنا ئی ہو ئی ہے اور کئی ایک تو اس بے حسی میں اس قدر بڑھ گئے ہیں کہ یو پی ایس اور جنیٹرز لیئے پھرتے ہیں کو ئی مو ٹرسا ئیکل پر رکھے لئے جا رہا ہے کو ئی گاڑی میں ۔۔ یہ لوگ کیو ں اس قدر بے حس ہو چکے ہیں کہ اپنے دیئے ہو ئے ''بلوں'' کا بھی حساب حکومت سے ما نگنے سے قا صر ہیں کہ بتا ئیں ہم نے بل پورا ادا کیا تھا حکومت نے کیوں پاور کمپنیوں کو ادا ئیگی نہیں کی۔ اس کے ساتھ ساتھ ہمارے اوپر وہ لوگ احسان اورہماری ضرورت وہ لوگ اور قومیں پوری کر نا چا ہتے ہیں جنہیں ہم مسلمان ہو کر بھی تعلق ٹھیک نہ رکھ سکے ۔ایران نے ہمیں 1.18پر یو نٹ کے حساب سے بجلی دینے کا کہا ہے اور چا ئینہ تو اس سے بھی ایک قدم آ گے نکلا ا س نے کہا ہے کہ300روپے میں ان لیمنڈڈ بجلی استعما ل کے لئے دے سکتا ہوں ۔ اور اس کے ساتھ ساتھ بجلی پیدا کر نے والی کمپنیوں نے بھی یہی کہا ہے کہ پیسے دو بجلی لو۔۔ مگر پھر بھی ہمارے وزیر اور حکومت اس بات پر غور کر نا ''گناہ ''کا کام سمجھتی ہے۔ اوراس کے ساتھ ساتھ ہماری پوری حکومتی مشینر ی ''امریکہ '' کو خدا مانے ہو ئے ہیں (یا اﷲ مجھے معاف کر نا)۔ اور اس سے ہی کہے جا رہی ہے کہ اس بحران سے نکلنے کے لئے بجلی دو ۔چا ہے وہ پرویز اشرف ہیں یا شہباز شریف۔عوام پو چھتی ہے تو یہ ملک جو بجلی دے رہے ہیں ۔ ان کو کیا تکلیف ہے ۔ ا ن ممالک سے کیو ں نہیں لی جا رہی؟؟؟ یا پھر''تعلق'' کم ہو نے کا ڈر ستا ئے ہو ا ہے۔ اور ہمارے وزیر صا حب اور حکومت یہ فر ما رہی ہے کہ بجلی کم سے کم استعما ل کرو توحکومت کو اور اس کے اداروں کو بھی اس پر عمل کرنا چاہیئے ۔ اس بحران میں قوم کا کو ئی قصور نہیں کیو نکہ عوام نے اے سی چلا یا ہے یا ریفریجنیٹر ۔ تو اس کی بجلی کے پیسے دیئے ہیں ۔ اور پھر اس پر الزام لگانے کا حکومتی بیان طفل تسلیوں کے علاوہ کچھ نہیں۔ یہ طفل تسلیاں دی جا رہی ہیں اب بھی وقت ہے پوری قوم کو اپنے حق کے لئے جا گنا پڑے گا ۔کیو ں کہ حکومت نے بجلی اور مہنگی کر نے کے ساتھ ساتھ اور چیزوں پر بھی ویلیو ٹیکس لگا نے کا پروگرام بنا یا ہوا ہے ۔ جس کی وجہ سے عوام زندہ درگور ہو نے کو تر جیح دے گی ۔ جو کہ آئی ایم ایف کی مہربا نی کا نتیجہ ہو گی ۔
