Allen again with a banger - as usual! eCash is inevitable - thankfully! Hal Finney was a true visionary. He predicted eCash a week or so after Bitcoin was released by Satoshi. He knew. Hal knew. Allen just sets out the path for us.

You can own a corporation. If the corporation owns Bitcoin, the corporation cannot act through its shareholders, but only through its employees, its agents. By definition, the corporation *must* trust somebody to be its custodian. In this instance - you, as an employee of your corp.

"Bitcoin" (capital B) refers to the network.
The asset is "bitcoin."
Perhaps Bitcoin the "protocol" should bear the name "VTP" as in "value transfer protocol."

I was “born” into Bitcoin on block #527,635. I was able to verify that thanks to the good folks behind #TimeChainCalendar. Thanks guys!!

2023-08-31 17:46:16 UTC

Coincidence? Thoughtfulness?
Satoshi decided that blocks should be added to the timechain every ~10 minutes. That’s 144 blocks per 24 hour day. After 14 days, on average, 2016 blocks are added to the global timechain.
After each addition of 2016 blocks, Bitcoin’s famous “difficulty adjustment” occurs. This important adjustment ensures that no government, no corporation, no cabal of Bitcoin miners can steal everyone’s value by suddenly adding massive hashpower to the network, minting huge numbers of blocks, and effectively stealing value from all the other users of the network.
By contrast, FDR’s executive order 6102 stole gold from American holders of gold.
6102.
2016.
One of those is backwards. The other honest, truthful, and forwards.
Interesting.

Veteran here.
The first 3-3.5 days are, by far, the worst. The neuroscience says that humans avoid repeating experiences that end badly.
If you finish the fast after three or 3 1/2 days, that will be a “bad ending“ - not because you will have been unsuccessful, because you will have been miserable.
I tell everybody that will listen to me: if you do a short fast, do only one or at the most two days. If you’re going to go longer than that, make it seven days.
You will feel like a champion after seven days. After the first three days, it’s a lot easier anyway.

You seem very unfamiliar with it.
Have you read the whole book?
If not, have you listened to his 6 episodes with Breedlove.
I actually am thoroughly familiar with his thesis, and, as I said, it is quite similar to your "Bitcoin is peace" statement.
Are you repeating what his haters say?
If not, please refer to the portions of his thesis where Lowery points out that Bitcoin has the potential to bring about a world where countries replace traditional warfare with hashing/mining.
Then, give your critique as to why that is unlikely or incorrect.

Or should we say “Bitcoin Age”? Hmmm?
We already new we had entered the “Digital Age” in the 1990s. Who would have foreseen that as the tech matures, it would fundamentally alter how humans build societies & communities? Who could have known that it would topple governments and remove power from oppressors?
Separation of money & state. Property rights. Free speech.
A new day is dawning.
