The unexplained spikes of Hive over the past two months, the sudden bottom price floor of $2.00 for Hive, and all the activity this past week. Then the announcement of Dorsey. Maybe Posh has had an effect, and maybe the slow spike buys, and current buys are more than just a lot of people all of a sudden deciding Hive may have a real use case. I know he likely has not invested in Hive, but if he did could bigger numbers for Hive not be far behind?

Didn't hear about the Dorsey thing until now but it's not surprising that he left. He was the CEO but it seems like he was at odds to the direction the company was heading in. After all, the CEO doesn't say much of anything that the investors aren't already aware of. He isn't allowed to say much that they don't approve so he's probably looking, as you say, to move further into Crypto than before. 

I think Bitcoin and blockchain were originally going to be a way to track and trace all humanity into oblivion and that's still certainly going to be the case *somewhat* but it also provides millions of very smart people a way to program things so that there can be freedom, anonymity and other important things that these crazies in power didn't quite factor into their diabolical plans. That's just my hopium, I suppose!

It sure would be nice to get #Hive in the conversation. We have a lot to offer with fast and free txs. Also, human readable addresses are cool. 

Remember also, that only 4% of the world have crypto right now, I don't know if it's an accurate number, but probably close. Imagine, when we reach even just 10 to 15% of the world into crypto; this is going to be a revolution of its own (or the beginning of our enslavment with social credit score).

I would like to translate this post . Would it be ok?

> Most people do not understand crypto, because they have never forced themselves to think about the value of anything, they just take what they have been conditioned to understand as gospel.

This part made me to remember when I wanted to introduce someone to hive and he said he is not interested that anything crypto is not in his schedule that he doesn't want to invest and lose money then I laughed. His mindset his that all crypto blockchain are the same due to the fact they lack how other blockchains operate especially hive where you gain knowledge and also earn as well without losing anything.

>Most people do not understand crypto, because they have never forced themselves to think about the value of anything,

Interesting point of view. I've always said Critical thinking should be taught as a course in schools, because so many of us are simply too shallow in our thinking...always failing to see the bigger picture

Great read.
There's definitely more than just trading and profit for crypto, and to me, the real game changers here are blockchain, DAOs, and smart contracts.
I see the financial system evolving into a more descentralized model, with banks losing a lot of power, along with governments, with people taking some of the power back.
Plenty of us are slowly realizing that governments are not your friends, and we need some degree of self reliance but also cooperation, if we want to change the current state of things.

> Most people do not understand crypto, because they have never forced themselves to think about the value of anything, they just take what they have been conditioned to understand as gospel. However, once people have real control over their wealth and are able to allocate it as they deem appropriate, the value of goods and services become far more salient and as such, people have to think about what is "worth" getting their funds.

Dear @tarazkp, I agree with you! 
In the world I live in, those who oppose centralization and advocate for the spread of virtual currency are punished by the state for defamation, insult, and dissemination of false information, with fines and imprisonment.

While the state determines all values and justice, it imposes prison sentences and fines on those who oppose state leadership and state policies.
Perhaps you will face a US$20,000 fine or 3~5 years in prison in the world I live in.
I was sentenced to US$2600 or a month in prison for accusing a kinky man who showed nude photos of himself to minors on the Internet as a psychopath.

Currently, the state determines and imposes all standards of values, ethics, and morals on individuals.
If I call you a pig on the Internet or in a public place, I will be fined or jailed.

We have to pay the transaction and tax according to the price set by the state.
China's centralization and socialism already dominate the world I live in.
We must make all our transactions according to the values the state determines. Otherwise, fines and imprisonment are imposed.


> This scares the hell out of centralized organizations like governments because for the most part, many of the places they spend citizen's tax money would not be supported if people actually got to choose for themselves. How many warships get financed? This is a big reason as to why China is shutting down crypto and their wealthy are disappearing, because they want to maintain absolute power. Other countries can't be quite so draconian, but the larger ones are not far behind, however they are still trying to control crypto, something that they are likely to fail at.

You are correct! 
If you speak in a public place against the state's dominance of cryptocurrency, you will be sentenced to five years in prison or a fine of US$20,000.
If you criticize the ruling class and upper class of the state, you will receive the same punishment.
If you become rich through cryptocurrency, the state will take your fortune through excessive taxes and fines.

Perhaps I will be punished for telling foreigners and this reality of the country.

DAO's and smart contracts will change the game. People will be able to own and govern a stake in the things that they care about, including the platforms they use. The world is going to change in a big way and CEO 's of companies a thing of the past. A CEO will be like a sure red flag.

It's funny what gets taken for granted sometimes. I don't know if anyone can secure anything...but it's a race to relative security. A lot of people are taught to look for it where it's certain they'll get hurt but by the ones they know, they blame for anything, and still look up to when it comes to getting...taken care of.

Meanwhile, that species of birds that you shared a photo of...they fly so beautifully together in huge flocks... I love watching them shift directions in perfect cloud-like patterns.

Still can't believe he posted a link to Rothbard. Smart, wealthy, influential people who actually *get it* are incredibly dangerous to entrenched power structures.

This is the news of the day for me. I am guessing he is into something big that would legitimize crypto further as you mentioned in the post.
> it is a financial services and digital payments company that supports small and medium businesses to transact.

I think he is into BTC and will likely make that Lightning network connection with the existing payment system he has with square.

Square itself is a centralised choke-point though.

The big breakthrough in decentralised finance will come when one of the DEXs reaches tipping point in liquidity. The only reason people don't use them at the moment is because they're not liquid and it takes ages for trades to execute.

> it is going to get quite ugly

Money-related stuff is always ugly.  And given how fugly everything is right now, what's another one XD

> Other countries can't be quite so draconian

And even the ones that can be (including China itself) will very probably/almost definitely fall apart the more desperately they try to cling to that absoluite power.

> When we can fly, where shall we go?

Anywhere we like.  Hopefully without the massive ego.

I think decentralized investment is safer as compared to centralized so decentralization is getting more and more famous and attracting investors. Take example of decentralized cryptocurrencies like Hive, BTC etc. Investment volumes are increasing day by day on these...
