THE EVOLUTION TO BLOCKCHAIN AND SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY

CLICK THE ARROW TO THE RIGHT FOR THE AUDIO SUMMARY >>

TODAY CRYPTOCURRENCIES LIKE BITCOIN, ETHEREUM AND MULTIPLE ALTCOINS ARE ALL THE RAGE. THESE NEW AND EMERGING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ARE ATTRACTING PEOPLE WITH THE HOPE FOR OR PROMISE OF FINANCIAL GAIN, AND ACCUMULATING WEALTH. THOSE EXPECTING TO FIND OR EXPLOIT ANOTHER GET RICH QUICK SCHEME WILL DISCOVER THAT BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOT THE TYPE OF VEHICLE THEY THINK IT IS. THIS POST IS FOR ANYONE DESIRING TO GAIN A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF HOW A BLOCKCHAIN'S UNIQUE OPERATING STRUCTURE CANNOT BE UNDERMINED. BY EXAMINING SPECIFIC BLOCKCHAIN FUNCTIONS, WE HOPE TO EXPOSE AND HIGHLIGHT HOW MANY OF THE ENBEDDED and PURPOSELY DESIGNED FEATURES IN a BLOCKCHAIN ALGORITHM will AUTOMATICALLY ENSURE their INTEGRITY WHILE LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD.

What makes us so sure that the money we have in the bank is safe and secure? Why do we have confidence in things we order from catalog's or online? Do we know that the food we eat from our favorite pizza, deli or sub shop is fresh and untainted? Are we sure that the vote we cast was counted and matters? When we lend or borrow what assures us of the good faith of our fellow man? The answer is simple. We have some form of a trust relationship with them. We either have some system that assures us that our transactions will be honored and/or we just trust them! Why do we make and sign contracts or give out and save receipts? The answer is simple we want "proof of purchase" or "proof of work." Today we have a centralized government with courts, legislatures, lawyers, laws and police to enforce them. Most of these entities were created to guarantee "integrity," insure "security" or protect us from "fraud." The need for collateral results from a lack of trust between parties. Laws were not created to be broken, laws were created to correct offenses. The overhead and costs associated with these things can be mitigated if not totally eliminated through "BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES." Its all about learning "trust relationships" in a different way. Working with the principles of interdependence is a natural fit. Blockchain is our best answer to "the cost of trust."

WHY DO WE TRUST THE STRENGTH OF A CHAIN'S MULTIPLE LINKS?

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Any system with fallible components such as human beings is always subject to errors at any link. So why do we continue to depend on these systems even when they seem to fail? Maybe its because traditionally they've been in operation for so long that we've really been forced to trust them. Why else would we perform multiple voting recounts using the same tools and methods if we believed that the system was flawed? Fortunately, today there is a trustworthy, decentralized, transparent, incorruptible, immutable distributed system of rule. Equity, fairness, and goodness can be codified.  We now have a computer algorithm based on trust and a "codependent coding scheme" that requires shared consensus. It's not a sci-fi Utopian ideology or a religious theocracy; it's the already existing "Golden Rule." This is the main principle that the world has failed to abide by. Today it can be administered digitally; and its called blockchain. News, information or rhetoric must be trusted, vetted or verified through some medium. "Fake news," is not really news at all even if we believe it is. What would happen if all news was vetted through this new peer to peer shared platform of exchange secured by computer algorithms? If all news was blockchained there would be no fictitious element that couldn't be traced back to its original source by verifying each block that supplied some "proof of work" to build the "record" within the chain. Even if someone succeeds in putting a lie into the news it would be caught because it wouldn't coincide with all of the other blocks on the "distributed ledger." Blockchain technology could have been used to log ("block") and track our current virus pandemic and its path. It still can be used to efficiently deploy vaccinations worldwide, but it's doubtful that the corporations behind the vaccines would be willing to divulge their skewed strategies to the scrutiny of blockchain's transparency models. Blockchain establishes immediate verifiable "trust relationships" through its dynamically distributed and shared models of verification based on mutual agreement. Whether it's a total sample, overwhelming consensus, slim majority or selected minority algorithm, its design makes it logically infallible. Any asset including wealth, order, position, power or information can be blockchained. Blockchain technologies can add another layer of identity security on top of current facial recognition technologies. Unauthorized or malicious actors identified at the point of exploit are initially denied and eventually eliminated with blockchain technologies. 

EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION - THE CHOICE OPTIONAL - THE END ENEVITABLE

Competition is a mechanism and a vehicle for allowing simple accomplishments to become even greater ones. Whenever a record is broken and a new milestone is achieved the excellence of greatness births magnificence! When the "energy of magnificence" is used as incentive for growth and motivation nothing else can come close. Being victorious and winning is always the fruit of this type of effort. However there are few things more intoxicating then the thrill of the win. Unfortunately our history and society has unwittingly taught us to indulge in this poisonous passion. Believe it or not, there is always a win - win scenario if we look for it. But being hardwired to win at all costs rarely allows us the perspective to see it. The best investments we can make in life is in people. He that is faithful in that which is least is also faithful in that which is much. This is a concept that most of us are not open to accept or believe. Our neural networks form the "habits of thoughts" we use in our daily endeavors. Being raised and bred in a capitalistic system has conditioned us to behave selfishly. Perhaps that's why we've continually failed to follow the best path or what is commonly known as the "golden rule." The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as we desire to be treated. It is a maxim that is found in most religions and cultures. It might be considered an ethic of reciprocity. In retrospect, there has always been a concept called "creative destruction" quietly impacting our progress. Whether we characterize it as evolution or revolution "creative destruction" is an inevitable factor in advancement. "Creative destruction" is the force behind innovations like Uber and Lyft that are decimating our traditional taxicab transportation models. These newer decentralized models with centralized management are not blockchained but like every other business enterprise will be susceptible to "premature obsolescence" if they themselves fail to evolve. In Marxist economic theory "creative destruction" refers more broadly to the inherently ruinous processes that sabotages the accumulation of unevenly shared wealth and subsequently annihilates that wealth in order to clear the ground for the creation of new wealth. New wealth can be created through "blockchain technologies" by approaching it from one of two perspectives. The first way is to identify a real world problem(s) that the proposed blockchain can solve, then assemble and activate the assets to accomplish the goal(s). The second way is to accumulate and assemble any available assets, then begin brainstorming while examining the assets to determine what real world problem(s) the collective assets can solve.

NEW ADVANCEMENTS DEMAND A NEW WAY TO APPLY THEM

Historically, the greatest civilizations, nations, societies, governments, leaders and people have always resisted change. Sparta, one of the most important Greek city-states that reigned throughout the archaic and classical periods established their dominance through military prowess. However, conquerors must also be able to control and govern the new people and territories they rule. The Spartans were no exception and had to manage vast territories. Eventually, their hard won victory over their rival city-state, the Athenians, led to their downfall. Military superiority was no match for the cultural corruption that commerce and capitalism created. More then anything, the Spartans failure to adapt, grow and change with the times led to their demise. Let's face it, we are not the rational creatures we perceive ourselves to be. If we choose to believe something we will hold that belief regardless of evidence or fact even if it kills us. Consider our response to Covid-19, global warming, and religious beliefs. Is it the governments job to protect us from ourselves? Consider the history of cults. There are cults which predicted the end of days and even advocated suicide. There were people that believed and followed. If we truly believe something no amount of logic can convince us otherwise. To prevent the average person from gambling their life's fortunes away on high risk investments or high odd bets, laws were enacted to protect the average naive citizen. Gambling and investing are both regulated! Everyone is aware of their states gambling laws and the "Securities act of 1933" created a special class of accredited investors to keep us from being victimized with fraudulent financial schemes. Is society protecting us from ourselves or are we being kept from accessing some of the privileges of society? Why do we still have insider trading, manipulative practices and "Ponzi schemes" in spite of our regulations? To date, there always seems to have been a way to beat or cheat the system! IF WHAT WE ARE SAYING TODAY IS TRUE, APPLYING THE TECHNOLOGY OF BLOCKCHAIN TO BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY WE COEXISTENCE ON THIS PLANET! True blockchains automatically create digital integrity. Blockchain levels the playing field. Blockchain insures that whatever win-win "smart contract" was written is autonomously enforced. Blockchain is both a program/app and a platform without exclusivity. Blockchain eliminates the overhead of multiple institutions and layers we have traditionally used as checks and balances. Blockchain involves joint assets connected by shared authority jointly vetted, while simultaneously being accurately and evenly distributed. Transparent open access also allows unabated individual activity monitored by every link collectively and regulated by shared "proof of work" rules of trust agreed to by all of the linked blocks in the chain. Even predictions from weather forecasts to environmental projections, global warming, global pandemics and other prognostications or breakthroughs can be scrutinized through the lens of blockchain technologies with alarming accuracy. Applying current algorithms to previously proven predictions like the video below can illustrate this point.

YES THERE IS A METHOD TO THE MADNESS

The reason they call it blockchain is because it consists of multiple individual links called blocks, significantly joined notwithstanding their overall place of importance. Now regardless of rank or status every facet that composes any part of every block has a measurable value. There is a behind the scenes, invisible chaining algorithm (whether digital, spiritual or virtual) combining the value of each independent link in a mathematically shared interdependent formula. The unified value derived from all of the accumulated information (data) is verified through some "proof of value" model "agreed to" across the chain. Therefore all updates or amendments are considered legitimate links when qualified and validated by the mutually agreed schema that the revised block and its data generates in line with the criteria for continued chain integrity. Nothing can be removed from the blockchain all records are permanently locked into it. Every action and participant compounds the amount of  overhead  needed to manage the chain. To add an additional node or transaction to the expanding chain it requires an ever expanding "proof of work" to be added also!. This is a powerful technically immutable method of identically and dynamically sharing data across a network of computers while consequently adding more overhead and increasing its overall size. By building, confirming and sharing the chain, every link adds value and significance. A simplified way of explaining the inner workings of blockchain is to describe it as a technology in which the larger it grows, the more maintenance it requires, the more accurate it gets, and the more incorruptible it becomes. The current system of exchange we practice is linear and exploitative. "Blockchain technologies" give value to every aspect of labor and effort  connected within the chain. There is always some "fair" value that can be taken advantage of for every asset brought to a blockchained system. Both companies and individuals who adopt "blockchain technologies" early will set the tone on how we apply these technologies. The current atmosphere of change and the present conditions are ripe for it. Bitcoins and all other digital currencies simply allow us to give value to assets for commerce and exchange. "Cryptocurrency exchanges" are to blockchain what "hyperlinks" are to the internet. Hyperlinks connect the internet in the same way that "shared ledgers" connect blockchains. The best method for investing in "blockchain technologies" is through following and evaluating metrics. Metrics are measurable qualities or quantities of information/data used to make decisions. If the power of a large block of assembled investors can reverse the direction of failing companies like Game Stop, Blockbuster and AMC think of what a previously assembled blockchain alliance can do. There are formulas and metrics that we can use to measure, evaluate and validate the infallible logic behind blockchains. Metrics, also known as key performance indicators, allow blockchain technologies to diagnose and predict quite accurately using their interconnected data chains. We can use blockchain metrics and apply them to already known outcomes, adjust their parameters and improve them to predict future eventual outcomes. Blockchain's contain "crystal balls" of incorruptible information that is predictive, instructive, and adaptive. This is why data breeches can have a greater impact upon society then natural disasters. When we apply "logic" to "data" properly the accuracy of "engineered predictions" can be mind boggling. The ground up design of blockchain technologies make them almost impervious to theft because they are already transparent, distributed and shared. Yes, they are maintained as private individual blocks, but the privacy is enforced through a shared trusted ledger of links. There is so much untapped potential in blockchained, stored data that has both qualitative and quantitative information entangled in it. Blockchain offers a new way to decipher data. We must always remember to apply Moore's law qualitatively and Metcalf's law quantitatively. News and numbers are the metrics of investing. Smart investors buy the rumors and sell the news but ultimately realize it's a numbers game. Every authentic blockchain grows through the power of its connections quadratically. Most organizational growth charts reflect patterns that fall under linear, logarithmic patterns or measures. The key to quadratic growth is in the number of its connections. The more connections shared in a quadratic relationship the stronger it becomes. This quadratic equation has two variables, N & C. where "N" is the number of users and "C" is the number of Connections. The formula is simply "C" equals N times (N-1) over two. Blockchain technologies both threaten and promise to affect most of our existing ways of transacting business in the "now" future. Understanding blockchain is beneficial because as we apply it to ourselves and others; we will be able to immediately spot any counterfeits, imitations or abuses within its fully transparent systems. Blockchain removes human error and digitizes trust. Blockchain will allow many people to create their own careers and will usher in an updated model of modern business practices.
