"aka What can save you? Our common Bitcoin"
From the perspective of currency attributes, Bitcoin is indeed not competent. But we have to admit that crypto wants to accomplish some subversion, but subversion is never an easy thing. Sometimes you need to use all the power, whether this power is good or bad. Since the US SEC approved the listing of Bitcoin spot ETF, Bitcoin has gradually become a plaything of Wall Street capital and politicians, which is far from its original mission of becoming a "decentralized currency".
But from another perspective, the media effect caused by the price of Bitcoin breaking through $100,000 has successfully brought crypto and decentralization into the mainstream public's vision.
Behind the Bitcoin breaking 100,000, there is not only the power of the decentralized community, but also the power of many other interest groups and even Wall Street capital that decentralization wants to subvert. It is difficult to say who borrowed the power from whom.
From the perspective of crypto, this is a successful marketing event for "decentralization" completed with the help of capital. But from the perspective of capital or politicians, it may be a different story.
Crypto is still very young. But many of its innovations and concepts, such as decentralization, sovereignty, and privacy protection, are issues that society must pay attention to.
Leveraging development, or to put it more bluntly, serving "evil", should be a very distinctive feature of the crypto industry. And this distinctive feature should be traced back to Bitcoin, the ancestor.
The idealistic decentralization of Bitcoin is supported by a very primitive token incentive method. The earliest mainstream applications of Bitcoin were also through black markets and illegal activities, including the later notorious ICO and even the current meme.
"Justice" or "evil" may be a set of synonyms
The crypto industry is very interesting. There are idealistic people who want to change the world, and there are also people who just want to use the industry to cheat and make a profit. What’s more interesting is that these “bad guys” who just want to use the industry to cheat are inadvertently promoting the growth and development of the industry through their bad deeds.
Even the notorious memecoin, which has grown wildly due to human greed and the corruption loopholes in the current social capital system, is an expression of "financial nihilism" to a certain extent, or even a form of "anger" and "rebellion."
There is always a voice in the industry that calls for getting back to the basics. To develop in an orthodox way. But behind orthodoxy, we have to ignore the laws of the world. Human greed, desire, dissatisfaction, these "evil" words are a natural selection, and are the driving force for the evolution and continuous development of mankind and society.
It is intertwined with survival.
Sometimes, defeating evil requires you to become more evil than evil. But what exactly is evil? Or what kind of evil is more evil? After seeing the Lolita Island incident of decent people who were packaged, blatant "evil" seems to be more open and aboveboard than the disguised justice?
There is also an even more important question: how to understand "evil".
Or, as the world moves forward, we should consider how to achieve compatibility, parallelism, or checks and balances.
And this is exactly what crypto wants to accomplish:
"to build a reliable distributed system on top of unreliable infrastructure"
In this, perhaps "evil" and "justice" have never been opposites, but a group of synonyms that rely on each other and complement each other.
Perhaps crypto can serve as a container that allows "evil" and "justice" to go hand in hand.
Does logic really exist?
The development of many things is difficult to explain through logic, especially when things that the public thinks are incredible become reality.
But what is bizarre or absurd? What is logical?
Are things that seem logical really logical? Are things that seem incredible really absurd? What forces are driving the development of incredible things?
For example, some people think it is absurd to regard tokens as money. However, from the perspective of taxation, it is not unreasonable to regard the chain as a country and tokens as money, because it involves why legal tender can become a universal currency. Some scholars believe that the reason why legal tender can be widely circulated is precisely because of the taxation in the form of legal tender.
Is something that seems logical really logical? Or does this logic still fit the current scenario? For example, does currency have to have three functions: SoV, UoV and/or MoE? Does the account have to be priced in a stable currency? What is the meaning of SoV? Will SoV still be in the form of currency in the future?
Or does crypto have to be decentralized?
Are we overlooking something more important?
I don’t know. But I think we can’t just focus on TPS, UX, DX, composability, or even decentralization. This is why I like Cosmos and Anoma. Sovereignty is behind Cosmos, and the starting point of Anoma is to reconstruct the collaboration mechanism - so it proposes "intention", the fulcrum of human collaboration.
But I also feel that it is difficult to truly solve the problem in a straightforward way. Being too focused will make people ignore the "gifts" that "God" has given you, and these gifts are usually wrapped in a cloak of misunderstanding, just like memecoin, which requires us to feel them without prejudice.
Yes, I'm saying that we need to feel the "evil", where the key to solving the mystery may be hidden.
Is some accuracy important? Yes. But compared to other things, it doesn't seem so important.
Sometimes, this kind of inexplicable thing is often called "art", or "intuition" or "impulse", which usually conflicts with rationality and is sometimes interpreted as "stupidity" if not handled properly.
But this is an energy that comes from within and is more powerful than reason.
Humans are the product of reason and logic. Humans stand proudly at the top of the food chain because of thinking, reason and logic. But don't forget the primitive impulses that support our survival. They contribute to the meaningful moments in our lives one after another. They are precious, so please cherish them.
To some extent, the spirit of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency contains a great primitive impulse, and it is very controversial. But behind the controversy, it actually has many positive aspects. There may be many scams in the guise of idealism, but you have to admit that its original intention and vision are kind and upright. For the new forces that still want to complete the subversion in the face of huge resistance, you must grasp all the power you can grasp.
When the main road is blocked, you have to "take the crooked road".
Is some accuracy important? Yes. But compared to other things, it doesn't seem so important.
How to catch up when tools and resources lag behind and cannot keep up with the speed of development of other forces? The only choice is to ignore the rules and not step on the brakes. Ride the wind, grow from mistakes, and constantly correct the path.
Some people see some negativity, but you have to know that this is strength and all you have to do is harness it.
I understand the development of crypto as a beast that devours all power without braking.
But this Warcraft always has an anchor, or a vision.
It is difficult to describe what this vision is specifically, but you know that this vision will guide crypto and become the helmsman of crypto in the muddy, chaotic and foggy times, leading the direction.
Sometimes you don't need to understand the existing rules, just push for the right thing.
How to save you, Bitcoin, the light of hope and the hope of crypto
Bitcoin has completed its mission when it broke through $100,000. Although it is the enlightenment and belief of the entire crypto, it now seems to be only scarce. Because the scattered chips are not well distributed, it is hard to say whether it will eventually become a plaything.
And if Bitcoin ends up being just a plaything of capital like stocks, then it will be meaningless from a crypto perspective.
Originally, I thought there should be a new and fairer token/NFT or any form to commemorate Satoshi and Bitcoin.
But I think Bitcoin will always be Bitcoin, and it cannot be replaced by any token. What we should do is to launch a big pie rescue plan.
Enlightenment should not be forgotten, nor should it be reduced to a plaything. No token can be more symbolic than Bitcoin. And symbolism is never an empty thing, it is very important.
What does it have to do with all of us?
We have been trapped in powerless rules for too long, so much so that we forget that we are also the most solid component of this society.
The general description of the general public is usually "a mob". It seems that the "mob" is just a group that is fooled and exploited or can only produce negative effects. But every "mob" has its own moral standard in its heart. Don't let reality and rules swallow up the justice standard in your heart. Don't let yourself really become a "mob".
What kind of world do you want to see? For this question, the will of every individual is very important. Because it is the foundation for forming a strong force, what we need to do is to maintain this foundation, so that even if other interested parties borrow strength, the final benefit is still the common vision composed of our will.
Finally, I wish we can create a miracle.
I also wish the world well, I wish we have the courage to face our true selves, I wish we can become more and more resilient, I wish all living beings can find the moment that lights up their lives in life, I wish all living beings have autonomy.
