    Those of you proud of achieving 1BTC, 0.5BTC will be pretty quiet in 4 years.

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 02:47 AM PDT

    I remember reading posts from those that bought during the 2015-16 bear market to amass >100BTC. Not a peep from them now, and rightly so. They know not to broadcast this information.

    So while the 1BTC-ers are announcing now, they will be quiet in 4 years. Maybe even delete their accounts.

    I suggest to all early adopters to not announce how much you hodl. The internet is a dark place and there is no need to put yourself at potential future risk.

    After years of reading economics, I'm still impressed by Central Bankers' ability to take the simplest of ideas (deflationary money) and obfuscate it with word-garbage in order to hide a simple fact - that they are thieves rationalizing a century-long robbery that's finally about to crash the World.

    Bitcoin's mere existence is an insurance policy that will remind governments that the last object establishment could control, the currency, is no longer their monopoly. This gives us, the crowd, an insurance policy against an Orwellian future.

    Bitcoin

    It may fail but we now know how to do it

    Let us follow the logic of things from the beginning. Or, rather, from the end: modern times. We are, as I am writing these lines, witnessing a complete riot against some class of experts, in domains that are too difficult for us to understand, such as macroeconomic reality, and in which not only the expert is not an expert, but he doesn't know it. That previous Federal Reserve bosses, Greenspan and Bernanke, had little grasp of empirical reality is something we only discovered a bit too late: one can macro-BS longer than micro-BS, which is why we need to be careful on who to endow with centralized macro decisions.

    What makes it worse is that all central banks operated under the same model, making it a perfect monoculture.

    In the complex domain, expertise doesn't concentrate: under organic reality, things work in a distributed way, as Hayek has convincingly demonstrated. But Hayek used the notion of distributed knowledge. Well, it looks like we do not even need that thing called knowledge for things to work well. Nor do we need individual rationality. All we need is structure.

    It doesn't mean all participants have a democratic sharing of decisions. One motivated participant can disproportionately move the needle (what I have studied as the asymmetry of the minority rule). But every participant has the option to be that player.

    Somehow, under scale transformation, emerges a miraculous effect: rational markets do not require any individual trader to be rational. In fact they work well under zero-intelligence –a zero intelligence crowd, under the right design, works better than a Soviet-style management composed to maximally intelligent humans.

    Which is why Bitcoin is an excellent idea. It fulfills the needs of the complex system, not because it is a cryptocurrency, but precisely because it has no owner, no authority that can decide on its fate. It is owned by the crowd, its users. And it has now a track record of several years, enough for it to be an animal in its own right.

    For other cryptocurrencies to compete, they need to have such a Hayekian property.

    Bitcoin is a currency without a government. But, one may ask, didn't we have gold, silver and other metals, another class of currencies without a government? Not quite. When you trade gold, you trade "loco" Hong Kong and end up receiving a claim on a stock there, which you might need to move to New Jersey. Banks control the custodian game and governments control banks (or, rather, bankers and government officials are, to be polite, tight together). So Bitcoin has a huge advantage over gold in transactions: clearance does not require a specific custodian. No government can control what code you have in your head.

    Finally, Bitcoin will go through hick-ups (hiccups). It may fail; but then it will be easily reinvented as we now know how it works. In its present state, it may not be convenient for transactions, not good enough to buy your decaffeinated expresso macchiato at your local virtue-signaling coffee chain. It may be too volatile to be a currency, for now. But it is the first organic currency.

    But its mere existence is an insurance policy that will remind governments that the last object establishment could control, namely, the currency, is no longer their monopoly. This gives us, the crowd, an insurance policy against an Orwellian future.

    Edit: a bit more info: We are a digital marketing company and Paypal has been banned in Turkey so it is a very good example of what Bitcoin should be used for.

    Build Unstoppable Apps on Bitcoin

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 03:38 AM PDT

    I represent a team of open-source blockchain engineers.

    About a year we embarked on a journey to create a decent looking wallet for Bitcoin... After some research and tests with existing tools it became clear that creating decentralized wallets on native platforms (Swift / Kotlin) was fairly difficult due to a lack of properly designed/coded libraries specifically for decentralized wallet implementation.

    Our core requirements were:

    - fully decentralized implementation
    - well coded and maintained
    - easy to refactor and build on top

    As surprising as it may sound but there is not much to choose from ... So, long story short, we decided to build these libraries on our own. After about 6-7 months of active development the Bitcoin SPV libraries for Kotlin and iOS are now available for public use.

    Bitcoin SPV Kit (Swift) - https://github.com/horizontalsystems/bitcoin-kit-ios
    Bitcoin SPV Kit (Android) - https://github.com/horizontalsystems/bitcoin-kit-android

    If you're thinking to build a wallet, exchange or any other decentralized/unstoppbale/unblockable app on top of Bitcoin network these are the libraries you need.

    I am proud to say that I currently own half a bitcoin!!! It's not much, but to me it's an accomplishment after all my micro transactions. Hopefully in the near future I'll have one (1) full bitcoin
