The easiest product endorsement for me to make is that Kona Bikes Rock! The love story started in the 80’s in place on the North Shore of Vancouver called Deep Cove, when one fine Sunday afternoon in the month of June two Dudes emerged from the woods on bicycles that were covered in mud and at a glance your could tell that they had just been extreme off-road.
What I was witness to, was the birth of mountain bike development, as those were the early generation of Kona Bikes that were made for the off-road, right near where I first saw them. Ever since that day I’ve loved the breakthrough that is mountain bike riding and appreciate the way in which Kona Bikes have remained on the cutting edge of radical riding.
Now of course the company has gone global for decades and has Kona World for online bike selection, in every category, not just radical off-road, downhill mountain bikes. Kona makes every type of bike and I’ve owned them for years, here’s a classic Kona Therefore I made this page for an archive of Bike photos from over the years.
Sampa Mongoose Mountain Bike Aug 24, 2012
Kona Bikes is a bicycle company based in the Pacific Northwest. The company was founded in 1988 by Dan Gerhard and Jacob Heilbron in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada. Still owned by Gerhard and Heilbron, their world headquarters
are located in Ferndale, Washington, with Canadian distribution offices
in Vancouver, and European distribution offices in Geneva, Switzerland.
Gerhard and Heilbron worked initially with Mountain Bike Hall of Fame rider Joe Murray
to create a range of custom steel hardtails. Kona was the first brand
to produce a complete range of sloping top tube design mountain bike
frames.
Paul Brodie collaborated with the TBG and was likely instrumental in
implementing the sloping top tube design from previous work with Rocky
Mountain and with his own company.
The Canadian headquarters are located near the famous North Shore mountains of Vancouver, leading Kona to develop a range of Freeride mountain bikes in 1998 known for durability as well as for their ability to handle extremely technical downhill terrain.
the kona is finally done, no longer sharing parts with any other bikes 🙂
Kona has gone on to develop a complete range of road, commuter, cyclo-cross in addition to a complete range of mountain bikes. Using a range of materials including carbon fiber, titanium, aluminum and steel, Kona’s bikes are sold in over 60 countries worldwide.
NOTE: Only 5 days after I posted the above story, my favourite Kona Bike was stolen from in front of my apartment. In broad day light the combination lock was picked or the Krypto cable was cut with bolt cutters, either way, in 60 seconds something so precious, having travelled twice to Brazil and thousands of miles of riding in BC, was stolen from me.
Hemp is not weed, yet this Cannabis grows the hope for a brave new future and the best chance to defeat plastic. Aside from the practical, it has other benefits like comfort. Once you switch to wearing Hemp instead of cotton you’ll never go back. Further, I’m not paid by Patagonia to tell you that I’ve been a member, follower and customer for longer than I can remember, since I’m still learning and inspired by the Patagonia responsible corporate leadership and ace stewardship of our environment.
My favourite gifts to give are the shirts off my back and I know my friends are still wearing the Patagonia Hemp shirts I’ve given away, as well as Hemp hats and Tee-shirts (hemp/cotton blend). However, my all time favourite shirt was given to me by the most famous Hemp clothing manufacturer; Hoodlamb from the very founders, in Amsterdam, at their fabulous design studio. I still wear the black short-sleeve button-down with pride and will never forget the day in the Hoodlamb factory and the coolest design studio I’ve ever seen.
Misunderstood | A Brief History of Hemp in the US
Natural. Misunderstood. Legal. This is the story of hemp in the United States. A forbidden fiber in the U.S. since 1970, hemp has taken the heat for almost five decades. Until the Farm Bill passed in December of 2018, hemp was federally illegal to grow for commercial purposes, making it risky for businesses to invest in a new crop that was incorrectly classified as a drug.

Hemp Facts and Statistics
Here is a short list of general facts about hemp.
• Hemp is thought to be the first domestically-cultivated plant, with
evidence of hemp fabric dating to 8,000 years ago found in Turkey
(former-day Mesopotamia). Other evidence suggests cultivation further
back by two or more thousands of years.
• The word hemp has been used in the past to Europe to describe other fiber plants, including sisal and jute.
• Beer hops (Humulus genus) are a close cousin of genus Cannabis, both of which fall under family Cannabaceae.
• Hemp products are now legal in the United States, although
ingredients or end products are currently imported from other countries –
particularly Canada.
• Hemp was not always treated as the same as marijuana by the U.S. government.
• The word “marihuana” (now marijuana) was coined in the 1890s, but
not used until the 1930s by the U.S. Bureau of Narcotics (replaced by
the DEA) to refer to all forms of cannabis.
• According to the documentary “The Union: The Business Behind
Getting High” (available at YouTube), the first marijuana law in the
United States was enacted in 1619, in Jamestown Colony, Virginia, and
actually required farmers to grow hemp. Benjamin Franklin used hemp in
his paper mill – one of the country’s first – and the first two copies
of the Declaration of Independence were supposedly written on hemp
paper.
• In parts of the Americas, hemp was legal tender and could be used to pay taxes.
• Hemp paper is stronger than wood-based paper, and can withstand
more folding. In general, hemp has strongest natural fiber of any
source.
• Hemp paper hundreds of years old (found in museums) has not yellowed, and is thus a high quality paper of archival quality.
• Marijuana plants cannot be hidden amongst hemp plants. The former
grows wide and less tall (5-10 feet), whereas the latter is grown more
densely and taller (10-15 feet), to produce maximum stalk fiber lengths.
• Hemp can grow nearly anywhere in the world, in many types of soil —
even in short growing seasons or in dry regions — and helps purify soil
as well as kills some types of weeds
• Hemp can grow without pesticides. The crop is also kills some
weeds, purifies soil, and is suitable for rotation use, due not only to
its short harvest cycle (120 days).
• Hemp is a high-yield crop. One acre of hemp produces twice as much
oil as one acre of peanuts, and nearly four times as much fiber pulp
(for paper) as an acre of trees.
• Hemp paper is naturally acid-free and does not yellow as quickly as tree pulp-based paper.
• Hemp has the strongest (and longest) plant fiber in the world,
resistant to rot and abrasion, and was in long use before DuPont
patented nylon in 1937. It was used for ship rigging, military uniforms,
parachute webbing, baggage and more.
• Because of its strength, hemp fiber can be used for composite
materials that could be used to make anything from skateboard decks to
car and stealth fighter bodies.
• A hemp composite material (with limestone and water) forms a type
of concrete (hempcrete) that can be used for home building, at 1/9th the
weight. It also acts as insulation and repels some vermin.
• Levi jeans were originally made from hemp sailcloth (and rivets),
for goldminers in California, who would fill their pockets with gold.
• By the 1800s, the state of Kentucky produced about half of the
industrial hemp in the U.S. The first hemp crop there was planted in
Boyle County in 1775.
• Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, created a plastic
car in 1941 which ran on hemp and other plant-based fuels, and whose
fenders were made of hemp and other materials. Ford had a plan to “grow
automobiles from the soil.” (Note: a company in France is experimenting
with a similar vehicle in current day.)
• Despite the active Marijuana Tax Act and the official federal
government stance on hemp and marijuana, the U.S. Army and the Dept of
Agriculture jointly produced a 1942 film, “Hemp for Victory,”
encouraging farmers to grow hemp for the country’s effort in World War
II — particularly for textiles and rope, imports of which had been cut
off by war. Over 100,000 acres of hemp was growing in the U.S., but all
related permits were canceled when WW II ended.

Nag Champa is the best selling incense on earth and since 1963 has been helping to fund the Chinmaya Mission Youth Empowerment Program.
I love this brand and only burn this incense, always travel with a full large box and small boxes to leave as gifts. Most of my life I’ve been aware of Sai Baba and his teachings, from yoga school in Deerfield Beach to another ashram in Brazil where they burn the same sticks. From Amsterdam to New York, Miami and LA and every place I’ve travelled, there’s always a head-shop somewhere, selling Nag Champa.
When you light a stick of Nag Champa, you’re performing an ancient ritual, also the flame is good for clearing negative thoughts, just look close at the flame, concentrate and watch it turn into something nice, that lasts long, leaves a good first impression on your guests, and associates your consciousness to helping students in India.
Nag Champa and the Chinmaya Mission is a very important business model to learn, to mimic and to emulate.
Nag Champa is a fragrance of Indian origin, based on a combination of magnolia (champaca or champak) and sandalwood, or frangipani (plumeria) and sandalwood – though when frangipani is used, the name is usually just “Champa”, without the “Nag”. It is used in incense, soap, perfume oil, essential oils, candles, and personal toiletries. It is a popular and recognizable incense fragrance throughout the world.
The motto of Chinmaya Mission is “to give maximum happiness to maximum people for maximum time.”
Composition
A number of flower species in India are known as champa or champak:
Magnolia champaca, formerly classified as Michelia champaca (swarna champa or yellow champa)
Of these—Magnolia champaca, is mostly used to prepare the Nag Champa scent, while Plumeria, or Mesua ferrea—may be used for scents termed Champa and sometimes Nag Champa.
Nag Champa perfume ingredients vary with the manufacturer, though generally they include sandalwood and magnolia, which, as the plant is related to star anise, gives the scent a little spice. Other ingredients will depend on the finished product. Perfume-dipped incenses and soaps would use essential oils or scents, while masala incenses would use finely ground fragrant ingredients as well as essential oils.
Chinmaya Mission is a Hindu religious and spiritual organization engaged in the dissemination of Vedanta, the science of the self as expounded in the Vedas, particularly the Upanishads, and other important Hindu scriptures including the Bhagavad Gita. The Chinmaya Mission was established in India in 1953 by devotees of the renowned Vedanta teacher Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati.
Administered by the Central Chinmaya Mission Trust in Mumbai, India, the mission was later headed by Swami Tejomayananda and is now headed by Swami Swaroopananda. There are over 313 mission centres all over India and abroad. North America had more than 30 centres.
The ZenDAO voting platform can replace the old corporate model of business organization with an inclusive, provably fair, and transparent economic system with incentives to participate.
Horizen is building a decentralized
autonomous organization (DAO) as a voting mechanism to allocate treasury
funds to continue the development of the Horizen platform.
The ZenDAO will be one of many sidechain applications for the Horizen platform, demonstrating the power of the dApps and their commitment to decentralized, community based governance.
The ZenDAO uses economic theory, game theory, liquid democracy, and the lastest privacy technology to allocated treasury fund resources. They are not just creating technological innovations, they are also pushing social innovations in how people interact with each other.
Delegative democracy, also known as liquid democracy, is a form of democracy whereby an electorate has the option of vesting voting power in delegates rather than voting directly themselves. The term is a generic description of either already-existing or proposed popular-control apparatuses. Voters can either vote directly or delegate their vote to other participants; voters may select a delegate for different issues. In other words, individual A of an X society can delegate its power to another individual B – and withdraw such power again at any time.
Illustration
of delegated voting. Voters to the left of the blue line voted by
delegation. Voters to the right voted directly. Numbers are the quantity
of voters represented by each delegate, with the delegate included in
the count.
Delegative Democracy, or liquid democracy, lies between direct and representative democracy. In direct democracy, participants must vote personally on all issues, while in representative democracy participants vote for representatives once in certain election cycles. Meanwhile, liquid democracy does not depend on representatives but rather on a weighted and transitory delegation of votes. Delegative democracy through elections should empower individuals to become sole interpreters of the interests of the nation. It allows for citizens to directly vote on policy issues, delegate their votes on one or multiple policy areas to delegates of their choosing, delegate votes to one or more people, delegated to them as a weighted voter, or get rid of their votes’ delegations whenever they please.
Most of the available academic literature on liquid democracy is
based on empirical research rather than on specific conceptualization or
theories. Experiments have mostly been conducted on a local level or
exclusively through online platforms, however polity examples are listed
below.
I’ve been using Ormus for 90 days and could tell the difference in my hair, skin and especially nails. This intelligent super-food seems to provide something my body wasn’t getting in my diet. Supplementing a shot of Ormus each day has made a difference I can testify to. Also, topical application of Ormus directly on the skin, I could feel it work.
These
materials are referred to as High Spin State Superconducting Materials.
The modern name is ORMUS, ORME’s and WhiteHGold. I feel that the proper
terminology that should be used to describe these elements is:
Inductively Separated Atomic Elements, or I.S.A.E.’s.
It has also
been known as Elixer, Manna, Shewbread, the snot, monatomic elements,
AuM, the polymers, mHstate, ShemHanHna, microclusters, superdeformed
high H spin elements, exoticatoms, Semen of the Gods,(I almost left that
one out…) SchefaFood, Bread of the Presence of God, MFKZT, Elixir of
Life, the lapis ,the Sophic Hydrolith of the Wise, Erinaes, Philothes,
Philolithes, Apaitu, Batu, Surgawi, Bubuk Putih, Mannadan Salwa,
chrysopoeia, dew, occult gold, aurum potable, water of gold, and also
The Philosophers’ Stone, among many other names.
However, whatever
the name, the compounds are the same. These compounds are the material
bridge between chemistry, biology, and the physics of matter, through
scalar vortices that bridge all material, space-time, and even thought.
These compounds are everywhere. They are in the water, the soil and even
in the air that we breathe. But what are they? What are Orbitally
rearranged monoatomic elements? And, why are they so abundant?
They
are a result of a combined inductive and acidic reaction, a reaction
that dis-attaches a single atom of an inductive element and attaches it
to a chlorine molecule in a hydride solution, and then, causal
reactions, like gravity, inertia, and electromagnetic oscillations,
decouples this bond in an alkaline state, inducing a hydrofugal torsion
reaction due to the polarization of this inductive particle, this atom.
This becomes a high spin-state particle, a material oscillating,
inductive, conductive, gyroscopic, atomic, reactive compound.
Mineral
salts are not only everywhere on this planet but also in our bodies.
Many of these mineral salts are created by a gradual breakdown of some
of these inductive, conductive metallic materials, such as gold and
platinum group elements. These elements, atom by atom, are being
slightly loosened to their own elemental attractive bonds due to this
inductive reaction on the skin of the element this reaction creates an
attraction to, and bonding with, a chlorine molecule, into a chloride
solution, or substrate. Sodium chloride, Auric chloride, copper chloride
and many other bonded metallic salts are attached to the hydrate, the
molecule that we call water.
AuCl is Auric Chloride, or Gold
Chloride. This compound is plentiful in the Oceans of this planet. The
ocean has many chlorine-based metallic compounds suspended in it, in a
solution, as a substrate. What is profoundly interesting, is that in
this chlorine bonded state, these metals are water soluble and flow
through most filters.
What is equally fascinating is that they can
also be decoupled from the chlorine atom using inductive frequencies.
When these atoms are induced with a magnetic wave form, through a
torsion wave or a spinor vortex, the inductive frequency of the
inductive material allows it to charge, inducing a polar reaction which
dis-attaches it magnetically from the chlorine molecule. The charge
produced by the magnetic wave is the inductive frequency necessary to
dis-attach the inductive particle from the non-quite-so-inductive
material of the chlorine atom. Think of this as a magnet flipping poles
and moving away from its former attraction, through the opposing
magnetic vortex.
When these inductive elements are dis-attached,
they become a highly active “spin particle”, a highly magnetic and
energized electro-inductive, conductive atom, spinning unattached and
unopposed. This is a reaction that is understandable simply by watching
figure skaters spin.A single rotating particle or entity can always
rotate faster than two or more combined. This is an oscillatory response
and a magnetic interaction. This is due to magnetic vortices that are
creating resistance, via magnetic inductive interactions, inertia, an
oscillatory response to spin particles.
These precious materials
are also very abundant in this state, estimated to be many thousands of
times more plentiful than the metallic counterparts that are being mined
on land and sea. This may be due to the solubility of these precious
metals and the fact that they have been drained out to sea by rainfall
for many billions of years. The interior of the crust is liquid and, as
it oscillates, it pressurizes due to a centripetal reaction caused by
cavitation, an inertial transfer of force occurs, which is an
exponential reaction of centrifugal forces caused by acceleration . As
this reaction occurs, an elementally rich magma, continually pools these
elements to the surface, allowing this process, this accumulation, to
continue unabated for millennium. Seawater weighs 2.4% more than
freshwater, 1.024 grams per milliliter, due to this process. This means
there is 24 grams of metal per liter of seawater.
Now, this
process happens naturally in all living organisms through these magnetic
interactions that interface with intracellular reactions. In our
bodies, our acidic digestive system removes these materials from the
food that we eat. These minerals are absorbed into our blood, from the
gastrointestinal tract as metallic chlorides. This is why blood tastes
salty. It is salty. These are metallic chlorides in a substrate. These
substrates are highly inductive and conductive and allow wave transfers
from the interferometer.
Our Interferometer: Our Brain.
Our
brain is an interferometric accumulator. What the heck is that, you
ask? An interferometer is a mechanism for the collection and
accumulation of opposing magnetic fields and which has the capacity of
coupling these fields into an electromagnetic reaction. Our brain has a
bi-toroidal reaction occurring inside of it, but also around it. This is
the mechanism, the motor, the generator that creates our bodies
electromagnetic reactions. The myth of using only 15 percent of our
brain is exactly that, a myth. We use all of our brain. All of it. Our
brain has a similar function to that of a crystal refraction or a piezo
reaction. It separates magnetic wave forms, and then combines opposing
magnetic waves into an electromagnetic reaction. This is
bio-electricity. The conduit for this reaction, the transfer mechanism
between the chemical and the mineral and the bio-organic transfer of
energy, is through this Orbital Reaction.
Our brain has two
hemispheres for this reason. It couples these wave forms at the same
frequency as the longitudinal waves on our planets surface, 7.83 Hertz.
This pulse induces the reaction necessary to de-couple the chloride
bonded inductive materials in our bloodstream, which provides the
transfer of inductive fields into the mitochondria, the power plant of
the cell, allowing the bi-toroidal reaction of the ATP conversion to
take place. The process involves stripping the magnetic bond off the ATP
and kicking it back out in two pieces.
Remember the endoplasmic
reticulum? Exactly! The ER doesn’t allow particle or enzymatic transfer,
does it? This reaction, inside the mitochondria is an inductive
reaction, as all chemical reactions are based on transfers of magnetic
fields of force, causing coupling and decoupling of “atoms” by changing
the polarity of its wave forms.
All matter is formed by these forces.
Monoatomic
atoms have been observed to exist in all the heavy elements in the
center of the periodic table. These are the elements which have
“half-filled” bands of valence electrons and include the following
elements. Their atomic numbers are given in parenthesis (the atomic
number represents the number of protons in the nucleus.) Ruthenium (44),
Rhodium (45), Palladium (46), Silver (47), Osmium (76), Iridium (77),
Platinum (78), and Gold (79). Other metallic elements in the same part
of the periodic table have also been observed in micro clusters. Because
the atoms of monoatomic elements are not held in a rigid lattice
network, their physical characteristics are quite different from atoms
which are locked in the lattice. Thus, it is the grouping of atoms which
defines the physical characteristics of the element; not just the
number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus as previously believed. If
you don’t have a lattice network, you don’t have a metal even though
the atoms of the two forms of matter are identical!
Cannabis Education at the University of British Columbia, almost oxymoron if it weren’t for the degree of science and the seriousness of the pursuit of the magic bi-product that the cannabis plant can render; money!
We’re witness to an amazing spectacle, the industrialization, commercialization and stock market exploitation of weed.
Vancouver has regained her crown as the pump and dump penny stock capital once again, to draw-out of retirement the biggest players in the stock promotion game. Bay Street of Toronto is a step ahead with many listings on TSX and many funds are buying them up.
CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TRST) Through CannTrust’s subsidiary, CannTrust Inc., the Company is in the business of producing and selling medical cannabis in Canada in accordance with the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (Canada) (“ACMPR”). The Company’s strategy is to produce highest quality, standardized, pharmaceutical-grade products for the medical cannabis market.
Vancouver was once famous for it’s penny stock market called the VSE and it was instrumental for getting gold mines funded with start-up capital, so that the company could grow to meet the qualifications of NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange, or even maybe become an NYSE listed titan like Wheaton Precious Metals from Vancouver.
It is estimated that 70 percent of silver production comes as a by-product from base metal and gold mines. This characteristic, along with the Company’s bullish sentiment for long-term silver prices, was the basis for creating Vancouver-based Silver Wheaton in 2004. Starting in 2013, the Company started to see more opportunities in the market for by-product gold. By 2017, revenue was roughly evenly balanced between the two precious metals, forming the basis to change the Company’s name from Silver Wheaton to Wheaton Precious Metals. The new name, Wheaton Precious Metals, better aligns with the Company’s diverse asset base of silver, gold, palladium and cobalt streams with a primary focus on precious metals
With the Internet the stock exchanges have become less and less relevant and with Blockchain exchanging asset exchange making real-time trades of anything, anywhere, any time, with low risk of fraud. However, to get mass investors to take the risk on almost anything, a company still needs to be listed on an exchange. Now that this new stock market boom is happening, it means that the greatest stock promoters, those that earned their stripes by raising capital for silver and gold mines in BC, are now in a footrace to make a last ballyhoo, create a Cannabis Empire conglomerate, by raising millions and millions of dollars via stock markets.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 12, 2019 / EVITRADE Health Systems Corp. (CSE: EVA, OTCQB: EVAHF). Dr. Ricardo E Rivera-Acevedo member of EViTRADE’s scientific advisory board and renowned cannabinologist is leading the way for cannabis education in Canada.

Idea wise Invest Offshore was over a target from day one, although sovereignty was not the primary driver, for most of it’s lifespan the offshore was about tax advantage. The very first thought that came to my mind about the Internet and reason I dedicated my life to web design and development was to expand myself beyond the location I was in at the time. I thought every one would invest offshore.
The Information Age was described in books I was reading in the 90’s so I went looking for one of the key books, something about future trends and I came across the 1999 Sovereign Identity book that started this genre, where I feel compelled to participate in the Internet, since I think most people have not taken advantage of the ideas, largely as result of the demise of the fiat currency systems.
Freedom of information is now the threat to sovereignty and our adversary has vast resources to spend on aggregating data for profiling the population and tracking movement of money, therefore we need to align ourselves with multiple governments in order to serve our own best interests.
Here’s the overview of the book, written in 1999, same year SiliconPalms.com was incorporated in Florida.
The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age
n The Sovereign Individual, Davidson and Rees-Mogg explore the greatest economic and political transition in centuries — the shift from an industrial to an information-based society. This transition, which they have termed “the fourth stage of human society,” will liberate individuals as never before, irrevocably altering the power of government. This outstanding book will replace false hopes and fictions with new understanding and clarified values.
Davidson and Rees-Mogg
Sovereignty as a Product is still where my focus is at, despite how capitalistic that may sound, I leave it to the individual to be ethical as possible but encourage all people to strive for your place in the sun and for many of us, it is not just one country, or maybe not even two. It’s wherever.
Just because I declare I want to sell Sovereignty as a Product, doesn’t mean I have license to begun bottling hopium there’s nobody buying, the only way to benefit from this field of knowledge, even if you were to master it, would be to provide bespoke sovereign identity consulting services.
In order to be masterful, a niche needs to be discovered. An identifiable financial problem involving a border and two countries, and one enterprise attempting to grow it’s footprint in one or both jurisdictions. Going global to use the well-known expression, that’s the niche target market and the solution is overseas retirement planning, using recognized pension laws, in order to build your company on a foundation designed to outlast you.
Serious Asset protection is the bedrock of estate planning for your beneficiaries and dependants continued well-being ad infinitum.
Sovereignty is how you protect both yourself and your enterprise from either causing a problem for the other. In legal terms you corporatize yourself and your assets inside a pension structure, designed to provide you and company members a retirement pension. This is not some tax loophole or tax dodge, not at all, the exact opposite, this is done with full intention of exploiting a factual, legal basis for needing an overseas retirement plan.
Sovereignty comes from using more than one countries laws, in complete compliance with another country, then putting yourself inside of legal accord that fits the future of your life strategy. This is like serial entrepreneur meets, cyber nomad then add a dash of legal panache.
We can reclaim our planet’s Sovereignty, one person at a time.

Risk Warning: Digital assets are a higher-risk investment method. Investors should be cautious in purchasing and pay attention to investment risks.
My adventure in cryptocurrency started recently, despite having joined Steemit a few years ago I did not start purchasing Bitcoin until 2017 but began investing and trading in February of 2018. This is the beginning of my cryptocurrency love affair, the evolution of which became heated with the combination of an excellent buying opportunity and the introduction to Kraken for exchange and Exodus for wallet and cyber asset management system. All of a sudden I found myself enraptured by the allure of power, control and simplicity.
Cryptocurrency market timing knowledge is the only missing ingredient, for which we have found a guru on Youtube with a Channel called the “Arcane Bear”. There are others too, as well as Clif High the predictive linguistics prognosticator, that has developed a habit of being correct about the future of the crypto market, the climax of his analysis is that Bitcoin is here to stay and could reach $1 million dollar valuation in 3 years and will find itself above $84,000 by the end of 2018 – very impressive upside, even if these predictions were 10% accurate and Bitcoin was worth $100,000 each by 2020.
For several years I’ve been promoting cryptocurrency because I sincerely believe in the concept. I also think that the old system was rigged, corrupt and bankrupt so why wait for the banksters to try to fix the system, the next time it crashes, let’s take the future into our own hands. This is exactly what is described in the famous Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto.
Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or people who designed bitcoin and created its original reference implementation. As part of the implementation, they also devised the first blockchain database. In the process they were the first to solve the double-spending problem for digital currency. They were active in the development of bitcoin up until December 2010.
Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
Bitcoin Abstract
A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they’ll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers. The network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcast on a best effort basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone.
