Title: Laibach - B Mashina: bitcoin theme song! Post by: xDan on December 05, 2013, 08:58:57 PM Listening to this today, I suddenly realised it's all about Bitcoin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgqjnzkYPnA Bitcoin is the B-Machine! Quote Only one day is left Only one day We are leaving the others We're going away Today we all steal Animals we are Possession is lost Our souls are from the wild And wings to reach the sky Let the sun fall into the ocean, Let the earth erupt in flame It is enough to have the strength And knowledge To raise our dream machines Into the sky Let them sleep who do not know The final day is here The very last And we leave at dawn Millions of machines on nitroglycerin Thunder in us There is no force no money and no power To stop us now and change our fate Before we rise Now every problem is destroyed We raise our hands and bodies to the peak Into the Universe - towards the stars we go Sending machines up to the sky [Chorus] Machines we are sending to the skies Above us all And leave behind those who don't know Of the final day We leave in sleep those who don't know (and) we leave at dawn We are driven by the B-machine (Wild B-machine - that never stops) Title: Re: Laibach - B Mashina: bitcoin theme song!

Title: Re: Laibach - B Mashina: bitcoin theme song! Post by: xDan on December 06, 2013, 08:46:22 PM OK guys, I'm gonna break it down for you. You do have to study the lyrics to appreciate this:
Quote Only one day is left We are transferring to the new economy, the technological singularity. Those who do not believe in Bitcoin are being left behind.Only one day We are leaving the others We're going away Quote Today we all steal Observations on the nature of fiat currency in the current time, "today"; quantitative easing etc stealing from everybody in a primitive animalistic fashion (and by continuing to use fiat currencies we are supporting this "stealing", and so are thieves ourselves). We do not have possession/control of our fiat; it can be stolen by others (governments) at will.Animals we are Possession is lost Quote Our souls are from the wild Simple observations about the aspirations of Bitcoiners, as citizens and denizens of the internet ("the wild", the digital "wild west") and a reference to the coming apocalypse of fiat currencies - as we Bitcoiners spread our wings ("wings" representing our ability to grasp the importance of Bitcoin), those remaining in the world of government fiat will burn on the uncivilised earth below. We have to let this happen, and watch dispassionately, as there is really no alternative.And wings to reach the sky Let the sun fall into the ocean, Let the earth erupt in flame Quote It is enough to have the strength We Bitcoiners are those who alone are privileged with this insight into the future. We can try to convince others, but ultimately, it is enough that we believe in Bitcoin ourselves. We cannot sit idly by, waiting for others, convincing fools, we have to lead and go on without them. Bitcoin is our dream machine, and we'll also dream up new machines, that is, new uses, for Bitcoin, (and new services, infrastructure..) raising them into the sky too.And knowledge To raise our dream machines Into the sky Let them sleep who do not know Quote The final day is here I think "final day" is more a metaphor for the time we are in; it is not a specific day, but a slow awakening. Of course, we each do have our own "final day" when we cash out of fiat into Bitcoin, and when we each fully commit to Bitcoin and this future.The very last And we leave at dawn Quote Millions of machines on nitroglycerin Obviously a reference to Bitcoin mining machines, securing the network and giving us confidence in Bitcoin. The machines could also be a reference to us Bitcoin users; half person, half machine, bonded with the internet, inhabitants of cyberspace, the nitroglycerin being this newly unlocked and unstoppable power of Bitcoin coursing through our veins. We are from the Internet. We ARE the Internet.Thunder in us Quote There is no force no money and no power Many meanings here: this is a reference to the power of mining to prevent double spending / "changing the fate" of a coin, and also obviously the unstoppable nature of Bitcoin. The world has changed, Bitcoin is here; its fate and ours can no longer be altered. "There is no force" references the libertarian non-aggression principle, which is now possible in our new crypto-anarchy, while the entire phrase implies any users of force, any existing monies (and those holding them), and any existing powers (e.g. governmental or otherwise) simply cannot stop Bitcoin and change these events that have been set in motion.To stop us now and change our fate Quote Before we rise Chart watching and the rise of the Bitcoin price, it makes the early adopters wealthy (and perhaps us too as it continues), solving our problems and raising us Bitcoiners into the new wealthy elite. We praise the graphs as our God as He raises us from the filth and takes us to Greater and Higher things.Now every problem is destroyed We raise our hands and bodies to the peak Into the Universe - towards the stars we go Quote Sending machines up to the sky Not quite sure about this, could be some reference to mining machines, or perhaps a more metaphorical idea of the new coming digital age - Bitcoin as the "machine" ascending into our realities.Quote [Chorus] Basically just a summary of everything said so far: Bitcoin is here, Bitcoin is rising, and those poor Luddites who do not understand will be left behind. We go now, and we do not wait for them.Machines we are sending to the skies Above us all And leave behind those who don't know Of the final day We leave in sleep those who don't know (and) we leave at dawn Quote We are driven by the B-machine Bitcoin is the B-Machine. It drives us onwards and is unstoppable. This is also a reference to Wei Dai's B-Money as a precursor to Bitcoin, and "Wild" once again is synonymous with "internet", along with also being a snarky reference to Bitcoin's price fluctuations and how they never seem to stop.(Wild B-machine - that never stops) Other interpretations more than welcome!
