Bitcoin is a combination of many technological and mathematical innovations When scientific. Of course, this includes encryption, timestamping, hashing and proof of work. The combination of these has given rise to new forms of technology such as Timechain and Number Go Up (NGU) technology. all: Responsibility Go Up (RGU) Technology.
responsibility and freedom
I came to Bitcoin for “money”. “money.” money To be the greatest social beast of all: the most important social invention/discovery/tool known to man.
I have always been a free maximalist. This attitude has led me on quite a journey in life, beyond my fair share of ups and downs. I have won and lost repeatedly. Looking back over the years, one thing stands out.
The experiences that felt the most wholesome, just, and true were the ones that gave me the most freedom. When We take full responsibility for the results. Good or bad, good or bad.
When I was younger, I don’t think I appreciated the latter, at least consciously. Anyway, my life circumstances generally put me in a position to take a lot of responsibility.
The older and more mature I became, the more I admired, desired, and finally sought responsibility.
Jordan Peterson planted an important seed. He remembers listening to short clips of him while training at the gym. It’s his 2020 in particular that comes to his mind. Some significant events happened and my life was turned upside down. So I punished myself by lifting heavy weights in the gym while listening to this man hammer into his head the doctrines of responsibility, truth and integrity.
It was a profound and transformative period in my life.
Spend time and effort to understand Bitcoin, Austrian economics, history and masculine frame (hat tip, jar), my position on “responsibility” has also deepened significantly. Like watching the injustice and utter madness of the clown world.
Here I am in late 2022 and recently married. I am about to take the most responsible step of my life.
As this new chapter unfolded, I found responsibility to be front and center in terms of importance. Perhaps more than freedom. This is something I never thought I would say, but here I am.
Alongside this personal change, I’ve found Bitcoin itself to be even more important than I thought. responsibility.
New memes for 2022 and beyond
If Bitcoin is responsible money, it is RGU technology that drives it.
Of course it’s a meme. And we should treat it as such. In this day and age, we meme things into existence. Like Laser Eyes, NGU was a perfect example. But now let’s add a new one to the dictionary.
NGU has been great and will continue to be great. His NGU for Bitcoin works on so many levels: relative exchange rate (a.k.a. price), block height, number of nodes, hashrate, users, etc., but most people are primarily concerned with price. I know you’re paying attention.
This is where things can fall apart.
When exchange rates are the main focus, periods of non-NGU price action can seem silly or a little empty. Bitcoiners are ready to put up with looking stupid. Of course, it’s a price worth paying. It goes without saying that these rites of passage are both cleansing and forging. They weed out the weak and sharpened the true believers.
But it’s when you’re honed that you have the opportunity to discover more moral pursuits. And here’s my suggestion: It’s cool to be rich and it’s great to win. But let’s rediscover what made our civilization great in the first place.
responsibility.
I have come to believe that it is the most mature and evolved human attribute.With great freedom comes a moral mission that demands great responsibility. This is a task for every boy who has to become a man. This is the time to transcend childhood into adulthood.
In this sense, Bitcoin is a sign of the maturity of civilization. And perhaps, on a more macro scale, the turbulent times we find ourselves in are symptomatic of humanity in the throes of adolescence. I’m trying to understand We are in the middle of a rite of passage and the childish part of us who wants to keep pretend play is throwing tantrums, kicking, biting and screaming because we know time is up.
The era of fiat currency is coming to an end and we are panicking like hysterical children. But fear not. For this too shall pass away. Bitcoin matures us not only by regrowing our freedom, but also by regrowing our responsibility.
Responsible technology
You can see that RGU technology is built into every element of Bitcoin. From the underlying storage and storage methods to the fact that there is no “support line” you can call if you lose your key or send your bitcoins to the wrong address.
The same powerful property rights leave you free to do whatever you want with your wealth, but you also have the responsibility to protect it from being taken, lost, or wasted. I’m here.
Bitcoin is a one-way feature, and knowing that there is no “rewind button” (like you have in fiat fantasy games) forces you to think twice. no, 3 times, about what you are doing. This is maturity. This is what it means to be an adult.
When I run the node you Bitcoin. You are Bank. You are Responsible for maintaining a copy of the entire ledger.
And it goes further!
Beyond the inherent responsibility of the utilities and features found in Bitcoin, it has the effect of transforming users into more responsible human beings.As owner of your own wealth, you become a butler, a bearer When guardian. This is power. We all know what Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker.
sauce
What this does in a social sense is profound.
Bitcoin makes economic games fair. No one can win by money printing presses or state monopolies. Such clever methods of deception become impotent.
This gets to the heart of the irresponsible and short-sighted world of fiat currency we live in. Cheating is irresponsible behavior. If you play the game and never lose, you can of course avoid liability.
You are a nation-state or a central bank and when you do, this behavior spreads until the entire civilization is infected. .
That’s where we are now. One big, ignorant bunch of serfs playing a strange game of hot potatoes of responsibility.
RGU technology means the results are localized. There may be little or no socialization of bad decisions. Within the context of fair economic games, the responsibility to rise and prosper lies with individuals, and they do so by radically owning their own wealth.
This is the magic of RGU and what really makes it look like NGU. It’s embedded in something called Bitcoin, and it appears to the outside world as what it is.
And the proof is in the pudding.
Bitcoin encourages exploration into many other areas of life, from an individual’s level of ownership and proficiency (or lack thereof) in areas such as food, frame, family, self-defense, knowledge, energy, shelter, and health. I’ve been It changed those who touched it.
this incredible side effect responsible money Amazing.
What does “responsible money” mean?
I mean honest money, real money, money whose ledger is accurate and whose management requires the responsibility of the owner.
Bitcoin, like a force of nature, as individuals and in our interconnected society, has a responsibility to make responsible choices with our time, energy, and intentions, from protection to how we trade the products of our labor. increase. Economy.
Adapt to the reality of gravity by not jumping off random cliffs. If you do, at least (if you intend to protect yourself) wear a parachute. You can jump off a cliff just like you can burn a key.
There is no rewind button. No replays. finished.
Bitcoin moves forward like the flow of time. No turning back. I will neither forgive nor forget. Mistakes are paid in full, no second chances. Bitcoin does just that. you adapt to it. The result is scorecards and ledgers with maximum accountability.
You can adapt to the radical freedom of Bitcoin or radical slavery such as Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC).
A quick note on adaptation: It may be humanity’s greatest strength and weakness. Adapt (this is often just an illusion or promise).
A slow and consistent abandonment of responsibility leads to a relentless erosion of freedom. But comfort and safety are so great that it’s very hard to notice early on. When I think about it, the movie “Wall-E” comes to mind, and so does the 2020 phase of the clown world.
This infantization of the individual is the retreat and de-sophistication of civilization. It’s sick. Responsible money is the cure.
Responsible money is real money. Responsible money is mature money. Responsible money leads to responsible behavior. Responsible behavior leads to a more mature, fair, real and functional world.
Bitcoin is the ultimate form of responsible money, and RGU technology is the antidote to fiat currency fantasies and politicized prosperity.
Accept it, not just because it will increase in number. Because the highest virtue, responsibility, is heightened in you and the world around you.
