Consider whether implications are subjective, and exist within the reader rather than the writer?
I can not help if you make words mean more than they mean.


Was this simply an addition rather than a point of correction or clarification?

Neither/nor. (I.e., of the interpretation and interpreter, the interpreter “is.”)

His Office, through Bitcoin Core for Writcoin™, invests Writcoin™ miners with the legal authority to provide Great Empire Coin (GEC) certification to new writcoins.

Why not use GFC? or better yet DevCoin?
(Edited to reduce vertical size.)

The distribution mechanisms of those cryptographic currencies are centralized.

Writcoin[™] . . . defines a blockbase™ transaction as being any coinbase transaction with only one, unspendable output.

TN;DC: A plutocrat seeks (at least, circa the present) to confiscate nongovernmental capital through “sovereign default.”

So the plutocrats WANT governmental default and deflation? Interesting. Never thought of that as a wealth grab. But I suppose it would work. They just need to get rid of any debt they have and loan as much money as possible to people (with the people's houses, land, and future earnings as collateral.) Holy shit. I'm going to pay all my debts ASAP and stack cash. That sound pretty scary. But I still think a default would end up weakening the currency.
(Quote correction mine. Red colorization mine. Blue colorization mine.)


1. If those debts are held by other plutocrats then that "money" (jehst) will remain "in the family" nevertheless (think: the Great Recession bank buyouts).

2. Hence, the directives cited below (and their respective sentiments).

Yes, I get it. The banksters are in control. But if the US government defaults on its debts because of hyperdeflation and it doesn't print, it will no longer be of any use to the banksters.
(Red colorization mine.)


You could have simply said that I had guessed correctly.

You did not "guess[] correctly" (NewLiberty), for the post implies that money is an instrument (within the hypothetical, a "[value] pump") of plutocratic government, not "market exchange" (NewLiberty).

Synchronous, international default should void both any and every economic liability (i.e., both any and every “sovereign debt”) that does not serve the plutocrats.

But the government itself has tons of debt. Martin Armstrong predicts that by 2020 the government will be using most of tax revenue to pay interest. So although massive deflation makes people slaves to mortgages and student loans, it will also make the US government a slave to its creditors. Wouldn't the government want a middleground between hyperinflation and hyperdeflation?

Writcoin[™] corrects the dates of its genesis blocks to the start of its current Gregorian calendar month…

Since it has unique transaction blockchains for each month, the network cited above features genuine "full blockchain pruning" (kodtycoon).

In general, all forms of debt exhibit exponential growth, and unless there is evidence that financial systems are exceptions to universal laws, the longer the interval, the greater the expectation of a collapse.

Quote from: Charles Eisenstein, "Negative-Interest Economics," _Sacred Economics_  <http://sacred-economics.com/sacred-economics-chapter-12-negative-interest-economics/>
In a world where the things we need and use go bad, sharing comes naturally. The hoarder ends up sitting alone atop a pile of stale bread, rusty tools, and spoiled fruit, and no one wants to help him, for he has helped no one. Money today, however, is not like bread, fruit, or indeed any natural object. It is the lone exception to nature’s law of return, the law of life, death, and rebirth, which says that all things ultimately return to their source. Money does not decay over time, but in its abstraction from physicality, it remains changeless or even grows with time, exponentially, thanks to the power of interest.

One potential solution I see to this problem is to make mining an unprofitable asset burning operation. But if this is accomplished by burning coins, eventually end up with 0 money supply.


GEC could be "spent" ex nihilo (and, thus, ex necessitate rei), so "the next [five] years or more" (xhoneyael) could be irrelevant as long as its "buying power" were non-null.

So we don't want an anti-money (whom can free-for-all coinbase nilly-willy debase faster race into the abyss) shitcoin that is designed to perniciously, self-destruct into a mutual chaos.

Are you certain? (I.e., Are you an economic Euthyphro?)

Quote from: Torbjörn Tännsjö, Vox.com
You should [not] have kids. Not because it’s fun, or rewarding, or in your evolutionary self-interest.

You should [not] have kids because it’s your [ethical] duty to [not] do so.

My argument is simple. Most people live lives that are, on net, happy. For them to never exist, then, would be to deny them that happiness. And because I think we have a moral duty to m[in]imize the amount of happiness in the world, that means that we all have an obligation to make the world as [un]populated as can be.

[...]

"[E]volutionary self-interest" (Tännsjö) renders the above absurd and, thus, its source material.

To put things into prespective a punchcard holds 80 bytes, and an 8in floppy holds 80 Kilobytes. Now today does it make any significant diffrence in the cost of sending an email that has an 80 byte or 80 kilobyte message? 50 years ago sending an 80 byte message over the telegraph network would cost around 10 USD (in todays dollars), while the other hand sending an 80 kilobyte telegram would have cost around 10,000 USD in todays dollars.

Quote from: Graham Templeton, "Stanford’s quantum entanglement device brings us one step closer to quantum cryptography," ExtremeTech, 2012
Researchers at Stanford University have taken another major step toward using quantum entanglement for communication, streamlining the process by which two particles can be forced into an entangled state. Once entangled, each should react to changes in the other’s quantum spin — if one switches from up-spin to down-spin, the other should hypothetically do the same, instantly and regardless of the distance between them. The study demonstrates a technique in which each particle is induced to emit a photon entangled to its parent. By funneling these photons down a fiber optic cable so that they collide somewhere in the middle, the system can force the two parents (still held at their respective sources) to become entangled to one other. While the pipe dream of a latency-free internet is enticing enough, a much more immediate application could be the next generation of data encryption.

Pre-fork coins will exist in both chains. So either in one chain predominates or both chains carry on forever you should be ok.

For any given Bitcoin blockchain, the "economic utility" of those "[p]re-fork coins" (Cryptology) would not, necessarily, be that which it was (at its genesis), but could have come to diverge therefrom.

Quote from: Laurence Rees, "Viewpoint: His dark charisma," BBC News Magazine, 2012  <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20237437>
Hitler was the archetypal "charismatic leader". He was not a "normal" politician - someone who promises policies like lower taxes and better health care - but a quasi-religious leader who offered almost spiritual goals of redemption and salvation. He was driven forward by a sense of personal destiny he called "providence".

Quote from: David Konstan, “Epicurus,” Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2014
[Epicurus] regarded the unacknowledged fear of death and punishment as the primary cause of anxiety among human beings, and anxiety in turn as the source of extreme and irrational desires.
