Animal-Ancient-Modern Man
The next leg of our journey. Based, as always, and the inevitable decentralization.
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF SATOSHI
Before ancient times, before seashells were adorned, animals violently combated against one another, conquering each other until new centralized dominators were established. (circa: 1m BP - 50k BP)
During ancient times, with all the animals under violent submission by their dominators, a modest shell rose into adornment, and through this beauty, the animals transformed into ancient man and began to voluntarily collaborate, and in this process they usurped the confines of the animal kingdoms until there were no kingdoms left to usurp, and a new decentralized denominator was established among these ancient men, the cowrie shell. (circa: 50k BP - 5k BP)
After ancient times, before modern times, before bitcoins were adorned, the decentralized ancient men of the cowrie shell slowly coalesced, casting their shells into gold, and burying their gold deep within their centralized kingdoms, and violently combating against one another, conquering each other until new centralized banking dominators were established. (circa: 5k BP - Present)
During modern times, with all ancient men under violent submission by their dominators, a modest cryptography rose into adornment, and through this beauty, ancient men transformed into modern man and began to voluntarily collaborate, and in this process they usurped the confines of ancient mans kingdoms until there were no kingdoms left to usurp, and a new decentralized denominator was established among these modern men, the bitcoin. (circa: Present - 50k AP)
This is the beginning of the story of those modern times . . .
A NARROW WAY THROUGH
The visions are clear now. I see possible futures, all at once. Our enemies are all around us, and in so many futures they prevail.
But I do see a way. There is a narrow way through.
— The Bitcoin Way
There is a narrow path that allows man to press forward, it is a line between, submission and dominance, between blind wandering and blind following.
From time to time, man must walk this narrow line, pressing forward between the state of submission and the state of domination, it is a thin narrow passage, but through it can be found the glory of life, ever after.
TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY
When those among us are either too submissive or too dominating, our existence is threatened, we become both too weak and too strong, our minds dumbed down, and numbed down, into ultra submission and ultra violence. They are both easier and harder routes to navigate, in the short term and the long term, respectively. For in the short term, compliance is easy, but in the long term, the end result is always the same — economic collapse, starvation, death and destruction.
The old adage has never been clearer. Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life.
It is much harder in the short term to both stand up against your authoritarians, as the submissive group, and to listen to your captives as the dominating group, which is why such paths are rarely walked, it is why one path is always less traveled by, but it is what makes all the difference.
Few times in the history of mankind have such events unfolded where the narrow path was taken because few times in history does the global centralization of powers reach its zenith at the same time that a new technological advancement arrives for both the oppressed and the oppressors to wield through that narrow path forward, between the tidal forces of death and destruction.
The path always remains too steep for those whom have grown accustomed to their submission and their dominance without such a technological solution.
And it is for this reason the pathway out is always the well trodden, the one paved in bloody revolt, towards a new boss, same as the old, just as it was for the Roman Empire, so too it would be for the American Empire if it were not for that little bit of cryptographic beauty, the mathematical singularity, our shield and our sword to carry us through that narrow path and with it, the mind of ancient men has awakened to something anew, something hopeful, something inspiring, something of such momentous occasion it shall carry humanity forward into the next tens of thousands of years.
From time to time, a technological advancement is of such magnitude that it speaks for itself, without the need to impose itself violently upon the reluctant, a technological advancement of such seismic proportion that those late adopters, rather than fight against it to the death, claw for the new technological decentralizing denominating order like rats aboard a rotten sinking ship, clamoring for the technological life raft, clamoring for . . .
The Ark of The Covenant of Satoshi.
AND THEN THERE WAS FIRE
It is difficult to conceptualize grand time frames spanning times that the forces of gravity, of the sun, the moon, and the stars wash away from the face of the Earth.
But modern men do not shy away from difficult endeavors, for we are on a mission from God himself, from the very spark of life that compels us forward, collaboratively, and somehow voluntarily.
Bitcoin is something much, much bigger than the printing press, electricity, or the wheel. Bitcoin is something much more closer to the discovery of the ability to master the creation and application of fire. Bitcoin is the discovery of the ability to master the creation and application of money, something that humanity has been toying with for the past 50,000 years. Imagine how many tens of thousands of years before humanity learnt the ways of fire. Even today we have yet to master the atomic forces that animate fire, the elusive nuclear fusion we continue hunting for.
Bitcoin is of such great magnitude, it is fair to suggest that humanity is in the process of forking, with those that are not able to grasp the conceptuality of Bitcoin as a fixed supply monetary system that we voluntarily submit to, against those that are able to bend the knee and submit to it. In some 50,000 years, we will look back at the pictures of ancient man and see such dissimilarity in the same way that we look back now upon the Neanderthal. Bitcoin will have such a profound impact on our societies, on the wiring of our individual brains, that it will literally change our physical appearance as we inwardly realign ourselves with a life that capitalizes on the qualities and characteristics of Bitcoin, in the same way that humanity forked from Neanderthals because of our ability to conceptualize the value and importance of the cowrie shell as a good in its own right to facilitate specialization, and trade.
You are not bullish enough on the value that will continue to accrue to Bitcoin. You can’t possibly fathom the implications of our new found ability to wield pure money for the first time in our short existence on this rock we call Planet Earth, hurling through the great expanse of the universe.
EXPAND YOUR MIND
We talk about bitcoin as a digital gold, but that is not giving enough due recognition. In fact gold was really the first successful shitcoin atop the idea of shells as money. And fiat atop gold was the first layer two atop a shit coin. In fact bitcoin is much more akin to the cowrie shell, something that cannot be faked, that requires time and work, that is available for anyone to mint and trade, without some state stamp of approval. If Bitcoin is the perfected cowrie shell, gold is more like ethereum, the first shitcoin fork, and the dollar is like the NFT’s and whatever else nonsense that runs on the ethereum shitcoin.
The cowrie shell had an innocence to it. There was no way to improve upon the cowrie shell, although others surely tried to use other shells, but the network effects were in place, and it would prevail as money for tens of thousands of years. Even today, a well cared for cowrie shell necklace from 5,000 years ago holds its value as a collectible. Gold was just a shitcoiners way to capitalize on the idea of money and take control of it, to centralize it, by stamping your face on it, and limiting who could hold it and trade it, all of which is antithetical to what money is, a decentralized medium that anyone may hold and trade, with anyone else, anytime, and anywhere.
Bitcoin is in fact, the digital cowrie shell, and most people simply haven’t done the work to comprehend the magnitude of bitcoin. In fact most people don’t even have the capacity to expand their mind to tens of thousands of years, to accept the fact that gold was but a tiny blip on the timeline of money. Or said more positively, if you are so inclined, gold and the subsequent fiat shitcoin that ride atop it were really the research and development required to realize that money requires certain attributes to become pure money, that the supply is fixed, and that the ledger of transactions is the money, as money is simply an accounting for the collective subjective values we all hold.
And again, on a positive note, those that are in the process of getting rekt by golds equivalent, ethereum, and fiats equivalent, all the shit coins spawned by the mother asshole, they can look at their losses in time, as their tuition expense for rewiring their minds out of their programming of ancient men, and into their new programming of modern men.
Remind your noob, nocoiner, ancient man friends, no, you are not too late, the initial start up and distribution of bitcoin doesn’t end until 2140, morons. Read a book.
What a time to be alive.
Stay humble, stack sats.
Walk the narrow path.
Cheers!
very very good…🤝
