Having re-read Animal Farm, it occurred to me that it's actually an allegory about Bitcoin! Help me complete the correspondence table:
Snowball = Satoshi
Napoleon = Gavin
The Windmill = Bitcoin-Qt source code
Attack dogs = THE bitcoin Foundation's lobbyists and lawyers.
Farmer Jones = Ben Bernanke
Squealer = Erik Voorhees
Old Major = Diffie + Merkle
Boxer = all code contributors who aren't "CORE"
Benjamin =
Crow = Luke Dashjr
The cat = Zhoutong
The Sheep = bitcointalk.org
Molly = Bruce Wagner?
The hens = miners?
Muriel =
Unallocated: FINCEN, MtGox/Karpeles, Bill Cosby, Butterfly Labs. |

We are so doomed.
We are not doomed. Nothing is over until we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! |

Animal farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution and Stalinism. |

We are not doomed. Nothing is over until we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Sorry my bro! But Pearl Harbour was not bombed by the Germans... Everything will be over when we forget about our history and stop moving forward into the future with awareness of what happened. All the best from this end and good luck with everything! |
