When Columbus crossed the ocean looking for God, Gold and Glory, there was a little more going on. We are a Western Civilization (basically meaning: white population), so all we learn is the Spanish conquistadors documentary perspective, because they wrote the papers that became popular, and that became part of "history". But the other half is this. Columbus and all his men (landing in the Bahamas, not what we think of as "America") introduced the Native population to armor, guns, gun powder, iron, steel and greed. Before the Spanish came, the Indians had no means of storage, and no desire to do such a thing. They traveled with the herds, using the land as it was, not manipulating it, but living with it. Then the new settlers made new Christians, by introducing the natives to the bible, and a god (Jesus) that could defy death to rise again. So the tribes started having large scale wars with and for the settlers, as well as hording things and becoming "civilized" (if you can call it that).
Everything happens through introduction of new things. That is simply how the future comes to be. We need to introduce Devcoin to as many places, as many cultures, and as many people as possible.
And if you come on here and talk shit, awesome. Thanks for helping get the word out about Devcoin. I bet people were talking shit to the guy that traded a pizza for 1000 BTC. And I bet people laughed when Columbus came back with stories of America, thinking he had been in India. First, most people probably thought he was lying, because people had already been to india, and had never come back with stories or spices like his. And he went the wrong fucking way into the ocean, thinking nothing else would be there and it would go straight to India.
So FUCK ye of little faith, watch this shit.
