Crypto Anti-Trust Intro: The Bitcoin Town Series of Events
By reading this you will have an understanding of how Corruption became normalized in the Blockchain World, this happened accidentally in a Noble pursuit by the Bitcoin Foundation to clean up Bitcoin's image.

“Disadvantage competitors by directly denying… relationships the competitor needs in the competitive struggle”
Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178 (1962)
On December 20, 1960, petitioner filed motions to vacate the judgment and to amend the complaint to assert a right of recovery in quantum meruit for performance of the obligations which were the consideration for the assertedly unenforceable oral contract. On January 17, 1961, petitioner filed a notice of appeal from the judgment of December 19, 1960. On January 23, 1961, the District Court denied petitioner's motions to vacate the judgment and to amend the complaint. On January 26, 1961, petitioner filed a notice of appeal from denial of the motions.
On appeal, the parties briefed and argued the merits of dismissal of the complaint and denial of petitioner's motions by the District Court. Notwithstanding, the Court of Appeals, of its own accord, dismissed the appeal insofar as taken from the District Court judgment of December 19, 1960, and affirmed the orders of the District Court entered January 23, 1961. 292 F.2d 85. This Court granted certiorari. 368 U.S. 951.
Martti Malmi is the user "Sirius" on Bitcointalk.org
Martti Malmi was the 2nd Human Being to ever touch the Bitcoin code on Github. This is on the record on Github.
Martti Malmi claims to have developed Bitcoin alongside the unknown developer who uses the pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto”.
Martti Malmi owns Bitcointalk.org
I have been a Member of the website Bitcointalk since 2011, when Bitcoin was $5 each.
Coins are hosted on Github.com and Announced with an [ANN] Announcement thread on Bitcointalk.org. As laid out in Case #1:2018cv02029, I was going to be creating Cryptocurrency Towns. The Defendants together, used Martti Malmi’s Website, Bitcointalk.org, to deny me any ability to compete by banning me, and slandering my name even though I had 0 ZERO negative points in their Reputation System. Denying me access to Bitcointalk.org denied me any access to hiring programmers, mining cryptocurrencies, or in any other way be involved in the world of Cryptocurrencies.
Just as an example of my involvement in the Community, I was the first person to contact Brookstone. They are now deeply invested in Crypto. I created email lists, and launched several email campaigns. I am part of the reason you even know what Bitcoin is today as you read this.
The Defendants are Monopolizing the Cryptocurrency Technology on their website. The Bitcoin Foundation emerged in 2012 to rehabilitate the image of Bitcoin away from the Silk Road and that is their motive.
This link explains some of my personal experience with Crypto, and explains the Silk Road Origins of Bitcoin. Understanding the Silk Road you can see why they did this at first, how it can be seen as Noble when it started and that they are in fact engaged in denying people competitive access to their platform, which is essential to the success of any Crypto project.
https://steemit.com/hive-142140/@punicwax/steemit-under-new-managementThe Silk Road is a Black Market selling everything from Heroine, to Guns (including RPGs), Counterfeit Money, and they were about to start selling body parts. All of this is through the Mail. The Bitcoin Foundation began with the intent of professionalizing Bitcoin, and getting it off the Silk Road.
Which as we will discuss here, I was actually a big part of helping with before they attacked me.
# Devcoin
When I came to Devcoin it had about 15 users, and was basically a Cryptocurrency connected to a Website like Wikipedia. You write whatever you want and for every 1,000 words you would get 1 share, and every month something like 100,000,000,000 Devcoins would get distributed amongst the writing shares.
So if 15 writers each write 1,000 words, each has a 1/15 share. If there is less writing each share is worth more, if there is more each share is worth less Coins.
Devcoin means Developer Coin, and people who programmed things earned a lifetime share or shares, meaning they would get like a monthly stipend. But as I brought in new writers the Developer shares got smaller. After a few months I had the writer numbers up to around 200, here is me Promoting their Coin for them.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=210446.0While I upped the user count from 15 to 200, I personally was still writing enough to earn 50% of the shares. The developers did not like this, and they were Bitcointalk admins.
While I was there the price went from around 1/100 of a Penny, to nearly or over 1 cent each. This was 2013-2014. During this exact few months in December my 12 year old brother died, and these people started acting like I was lying about it as a scam and attacking me for talking about it.
https://www.historyonthenet.com/antitrust-laws-allow-government-prevent-mergersThis chart shows me bringing in new users, them banning me from Bitcointalk, and them never recovering
Bitcoin Town
This time was when Cryptocurrency was something brand new and we were still getting companies to accept it. When I raised the price of Devcoin, people quickly created an Amazon Giftcard purchasing capability, and others direct Gold, Silver and Copper sales for Devcoin. Launching the price higher as these people put precious metals on the line for Devcoins at market value.
I began formulating everything we would need to create a Cryptocurrency Town called Bitcointown. The idea caught fire and pretty much anyone who knew what a Bitcoin was were using my ideas.
https://www.vocativ.com/tech/bitcoin/bitcoin-u-s-a-digital-dollars-communities-might-be-coming-to-a-town-near-you/index.html Then Dec 2013 my brother died. They pretend I am a scammer, and they ban me, regardless of the fact that they had a Merit system, and my reputation was fine. I had never even been involved in asking anyone for any Coins. I never did any kind of Sales, or a Fundraiser or anything.
Then Bud light steals my idea and make Whatever U.S.A
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/09/05/bud-light-turns-tiny-ski-town-into-whatever-usa/15172279/And now Akon is making Towns, but he isn't really stealing it, at this point I have been banned so long he probably thought I gave up
https://www.blackenterprise.com/10-things-know-akons-futuristic-crypto-city-senegal/We were talking about Ocean Housing and Boats once the Mainland Town got started and everything.
In 2017 I came back after learning how to generate Genesis Blocks and therefore birth my own Blockchains, and they banned my new account. Destroying a currency I had already launched on their Website.
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION
In the Matter of
JOHNSON MATTHEY, INC.

Docket Number 99-27
MEMORANDUM OF THE ANTITRUST DIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AS AMICUS CURIAE IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION OF JOHNSON MATTHEY, INC.
>Competition is a rough, often inelegant process by which winners and losers (whether products, firms, or technologies) are chosen by decisions made in the marketplace. In that process, economic actors are constantly challenged to improve on price, cost, and technology, or exit. The end result is economic efficiency and increased technological innovation. Properly understood, the various challenges to the application of Johnson Matthey, Inc. ("Johnson Matthey") raised by Mallinckrodt, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt") and Noramco of Delaware, Inc. ("Noramco") rest on one ground: their fervid desire to avoid such competition and the challenges it would pose to them. Should their efforts to block Johnson Matthey's entry into the market succeed, the result will almost certainly be a less efficient and less innovative market and, ultimately, higher prices for consumers.
For that reason, assuming that the DEA can appropriately regulate Johnson Matthey's facilities to avoid illegal diversion, the Antitrust Division (the "Division") supports this application for registration.(1) More importantly, the Division strongly recommends that the DEA avail itself of this opportunity to clarify yet again its commitment to competition by lowering the regulatory barriers to entry consistent with the need to prevent unlawful diversion. As discussed below, where a market cannot sustain numerous participants -- whether because of production requirements, economies of scale, or government regulation -- its competitiveness depends significantly on facilitating the potential for entry. By clearly articulating the appropriate standard to be used in these proceedings, and by placing the burden of proof where it properly belongs, the DEA will be able to discourage the continuing use of its procedures by those who seek to hinder the development of competition
Noramco of Delaware, Inc., v. Drug Enforcement Administration, 375 F.3d 1148 (D.C. Cir. 2004)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5289310.0Part of this may seem like it belongs in Altcoins at some point because it mentions Graphene Blockchains, but this was just first Theorized for Graphene with Scot Bots and the Upvoting System as a Model.
But what could happen next could be bigger than that. It there were a Counterparty, Mastercoin, Steem-Engine type system built on Bitcoin then connected to sister projects on Ethereum, Graphene, TRON, etc. Where Karma and Charity were rewarded, it would be like the Coffee and Doughnuts of Cryptocurrency. I intend to slowly start this with Tokens on existing systems, but I would like others to start thinking of this.
Here is Martti Malmi's view, and he owns Bitcointalk and knows Satoshi. My concept would not replace his, but work as to bring more Universal Justice and essentially Decentralization to Blockchains.
https://medium.com/@mmalmi/learning-to-trust-strangers-167b652a654fSo, with Analytic Tools, just a thought.
If there could somehow be built in features in any backend Analytics Tool that measure things like who is giving the most upvotes to the lowest historical BP rewards record accounts; or whose votes have gone to accounts that have then gone on to curate to the lowest rewarded accounts (kind of like who sired the most beneficial curators). This way there could be like a lean towards finding those with the least historical BP rewards by all high BP accounts, because they would appear on the chart.
Kind of like Karma and the Law of Dharma. Alms.
There was a description of Karma that may help describe the concept. So if I curate simply seeking people who will return upvotes, I benefit a small group of active curators and I likely seek out high BP users, this is a Low Karma/Quick Returns model.
If I simply seek out the Poorest and give them the most, I am now in about a 50/50 Karma/Returns Model, with a hit taken to returns.
But if I curate those, who in turn themselves become active Curators holding and leveraging BP, this is more like 100/100 instead of 50/50. Not only am I giving Poor people money, I am building a Charitable community of Curators.
And an example of how this helps.
1. In the obvious way, the more I seek out low BP users the higher I am ranked on the page for that
2. If I am a Whale, and I want to rank up in model 2. Maybe I just bought my BP, or was part of the airdrop and am coming in late, or whatever the reason is they are a low ranked whale.
That whale can seek out users whom are at a similar or higher rank to themselves, and support them, which then in turn raises their rank.
So it still allows for people to seek out active Curators who may return a vote, but they also then are supporting people based not on BP levels but their community activism.
This new Whale is now lead to vote for effective community organizers, in order to raise his rank to match his Whale Peers in the siring charts.
This could also be built into some kind of general Ranking System.
Like how Reddit has Karma, but that it a different concept similar to BLURT or STEEM with no trade value. But like how Bitcointalk or many other forums have like "New Member", "Senior Member", "Moderator", like this Discord Chat and the Facebook group too, BLURT could have like a non-Static Rank.
The Dharma, Model 50/50 and Model 100/100 would also support not powering Down. Because if I have low BP and I am new, and I start getting votes when there are 500,000 users and Curation gets difficult.
This new low BP user is encouraged to participate in the ranking system, regardless of how low their rank is because they want to get the good votes. If he Powers Down he isn't being Sired, and is kind of lowering his stock. A Fresh users who saved as much as he can raises his stock.
This could possibly even be part of a system where the Poorest users (in terms of rewards) over time are measured. So that if I cash out all my BP right away I lose my stock, but if I get no good votes over 1 year, maybe now I am back higher up in the ranking.
And BLURT Bots would be built measuring those Charts.
And the "stock" would be natural if everything else was measured.
1. So, by being new I have a setting, because time being measured would be good also. The longer I am on, the higher my score goes, the more BP rewards I get the lower it goes on the Poor Rank Chart.
2. But with higher BP rewards, turned around to vote on the Poor Charts, raises me in the Siring Charts.
3. The higher BP I get, with higher subusers in turn trying to hold BP to vote on the Poor Charts, and the whole Poor Chart knows they can curate to get up in the Siring Charts, so everyone's "Stock" is built in.
The Siring Charts could include maybe a tab setting or dropdown option to see:
Highest BP Sired ever, to most Low BP Users, to most BLURT Users Generally, to BP that never Powered Down, most New Users, most Forgotten Users.
And people would use these, try to be on these, and create Bots that read these for them.
Then like
(# of votes × user BP, continued, meaning, to whatever layer, this should start with a # of users × user BP gained by those users, then this should repeatedly look back to that same calculation like a pyramid chart where # of users voted for × BP gained by those users) then your rank in that chart × X
The Pyramid chart first means whoever's underlings hold the most and use it, raises that person up.
So (# of users voted × BP gained, continued) × New Users Voted
Or
(# of users voted × BP gained) × ((time on platform for vote receivers × last post newer higher weighted) / rewards ever)
So new users Sired rank, and most needy sired rank.
This also creates rarity and numismatic value. The Model of "Merit, as we see it" is basically just a little club, and certain people earn the most.
"I'm a Whale, jump through my hoops and then you can get a fair shot. In fact, I am giving you a fair shot by letting you jump through my hoops... unless I don't like you"
That is Merit on a Subjective basis like this with no Constitutional Directive of Meritous Rights. It is a Club.
If populace based Poorness and Charity are commodities, then suddenly there are more BLURT holders and not just a Club.
With the Expanse of BLURT further than that of STEEM, it promotes the scarcity model. Each person individually values their's more because they have a different share of the Pool.
This was written over 100 years ago in a Spellbook
The Columbia Effect:
The word Columbia comes from Christopher Columbus. Washington DC means District of Columbia and BC means British Columbia. Even though Columbus discovered the Bahamas, which is why the Caribbean Islands are called the West Indies (He thought he was in India). He was pretty much lost, but now his name is the basis of many of our regions names and Coffee, Marijuana, Tobacco & Jalapeño peppers can be found almost anywhere in the world.
Hellenization:
Hellenization was a period of almost 500 years just after Alexander the Great died and just before the life of Jesus. Alexander the Great went to various countries and took
control of them in various ways and after he died all of those kingdoms (From Greece, to Egypt to modern Pakistan) had a ton of Technology and Resources to trade with each
other, as well as various wars which eventually led to the Roman Empire taking control of it all. An example of the changes are Statues in India, there were no Statues before
Hellenization brought the idea there. A specific example is The Buddha who was depicted as an Empty throne or as Footprints in sand before Hellenization. The major
changes in Greece came from 2 books, one was called Babyloniaca and the other Eagyptiaca or The History of Babylon and the History of Egypt. This brought Zoroastrian
Astrology into Western Science which later became Astronomy and it brought the entire Egyptian history (pretty much the same information we have now) to the Greek world, an example of this is the word Dynasty which was invented in the book Aegyptiaca.
The Kula Ring:
The Kula Ring is a system of trade that is the best example of a Gift Economy (it is used as an example in Anthropology) and it exists within a Tribal Religious system. It is also
the best example of people going out onto the ocean with nothing but a small canoe or raft or reed boat and make long dangerous journeys for very little in return. It exists between a small group of Islands and the members of the various tribes will do things like take a load of Necklaces made of white sea shells and then make the dangerous journey simply to trade them for Bracelets made with red sea shells. The tribes do connect in this way and are able to create relationships for future trade.
A merchant weighs money in a pair of scales and distributes it to the needy and distressed. Signifies gratification.
Reversed, the card represents desire, cupidity, envy, jealousy and illusion.

Karma could be brought in various ways.
1. It could be done standalone as an Analytic Tool like Steemd as a Visualization of the Blockchain with Purely Analytical value where user accounts are linked where they appear, I can go into the charts and find who I want to help. Like Cryptofresh with Rankings.
2. Then, it could also be done as like an Blurt.blog Blurt.buzz Blurt.world with the Analytics Tools and Rank Built in, maybe even a Bot or many little Scripts to automate your account.
3. Then, it could be done like DTube or APPICS or as a more integrated Multitoken system. Also with the Analytics and maybe Bots.
So, at some point in the past Steemit had an issue where most people could not earn enough to mean anything. So they created a Protocol on the Blockchain by which Smart Contracta could be made, like ERC20 Type Tokens.
https://chainbulletin.com/steemit-releases-token-launching-protocol/https://youtu.be/w3acqauTdhcThese Tokens are currently one of the best options for a company with little to no resources to create their own Cryptocurrency, and growing it by building a community on Steemit. ERC20 Tokens are more complicated because they are not as liquid upon creation, require some coding knowledge, require Ethereum Wallets which themselves are a barrier to entry for the non-tech savvy, and are not connected to a Social Media Crypto earning platform.
Ethereum dApps are for Ethereum Miners to use, others coming in are extra really, there are others but they are Buying gas power and learning Ethereum. Graphene SMTs are on Steemit, a much better GUI model.
If you have skill as a Programmer and want to Upgrade BLURT, these are the Steemit git Repos for Smart Media Tokens (SMT) which are now most well known from Steem-Engine/Hive-Engine Tokens made by Aggroed, DTube and APPICS (Scot Bots). If you were to implement any of this, you could then announce it on BLURT and both earn BLURT and Trade Tokens for BLURT. You could be the BLURT Aggroed:
https://github.com/thilobillerbeck/awesome-steemhttps://github.com/harpagon210/steemsmartcontractshttps://github.com/harpagon210/ssc_tokens_historyhttps://github.com/holgern/steem-scothttps://github.com/ledgerconnect/steemconnecthttps://github.com/selmi-karim/steemitgramhttps://github.com/steemit/smt-whitepaperhttps://github.com/mukai154/webblen-ioIf anyone wants to help Build the Future, I added a question on Quora regarding creating Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) from github meant for Steemit, by forking them to BLURT
https://www.quora.com/unanswered/How-do-you-Build-Smart-Media-Token-gits-on-BLURT-a-Graphene-OpenLedger-Bitshares-Steemit-based-BlockchainI am sure someone will accomplish the task of creating SMTs on BLURT at some point, and earn themselves plenty of money. But if the process could be explained on Quora, or at least discussed, then people will have a good starting point for Future Graphene Token Projects.
I will continue to add more and more information to BLURT discussions so that there is even more that can be achieved by the community.
Because when you go on Google and search "BLURT" and just keep scrolling and reading, for hours and hours, this is what you will find, and this is what you were looking for. I am putting together information to create the Future, by letting other people find it all in 1 place.
There could be various categories, like:
Who has the most BP given out to people who then gave out the most BP to others, but that first layer is only counted by those still under 5,000
Then there would be an unrestricted one, and maybe 20,000 and 100,000
So now you can see who is doing the most where.
And all the Whales sift through these lists looking for their next big jump in numbers by selecting those people that do the most
Megadrive said
>@Tokenista it can't just be a game about the most needy, they have to put out good content to vote as well, upvotes need to match content otherwise it breaks proof of brain.
@Megadrive that would also exist.
If I follow someone I still have my feed.
When Steemit started there was no feed, so in terms of Gamification all you could so was follow the Trending page, Use the Hot page, and the New Page.
You can think of the New Page for Blogs as similar to the Poor list. The New page is a "Game" where I am looking for the newest best content.
So we have that already. And we have the Hot Page and the Trending Page to Vote on.
So we are not removing those.
Dan and Ned added following each other and a followed users selection for the feeds.
So that made it like a friendship Gamifucation thing, where now if I can peak your interest, you follow me, I show up in more peoples feeds.
Then Hive Communities and Steemit Communities. These gamified Friendship again, in a way where instead of getting followers yourself, you get them for a more abstract account called a Hive, and it has a name and a description and everyone can organize themselves by interest.
Gamifying Charity would just allow everyone who creates an account to participate.
Plus, if the Algorithm is:
(# number of users × BP gained) x most needy, your rank goes up as you select people who are getting the most done.
And if someone has a community of people forming around them, they likely aren't posting something other people don't want.
There would be a whole gap in the Poor list and the Siring list, where if you don't want to be back at the top of the poor list and waiting for it, but instead you want to be ranking up so whales want to vote for you.
You have to become someone that other people come to.
So it wouldn't be a Autowhale maker, the Poor list is not a future Rich list. They will just not be left out.
If there were a Karma project, in any way, it would be like a Front End or a Scot Bot Token and the Karma concept would just be like the Free Coffee and Doughnuts of BLURT.
To expand on the Graphene Blockchain Karma Concept.
The base formula holding up everything is:
Number of people
x
Amount of BP earned by other accounts any individual votes for from the time this person first votes
This goes in a Pyramid, so that all persons are timestamped, and even if everyone votes for everyone, someone is still at the top and someone at the bottom based on when they voted.
This can be made more precise by adding a most recent vote weight so that each individual is rated on the above criteria if early vote, but their ranking goes higher for recent votes. Exact BP earned from the Sire could also be included.
From there it is calculated for the most needy.
(# of users voted × BP gained) × ((time on platform for vote receivers × last post newer higher weighted) / rewards ever)Then from there, a value can be added to various other things, just as an example, a new user could be given a weight of 100. And that number is divided by their total rewards to determine their neediness value. Then Time joined maybe goes up by a value of 1 every day, so by day 100 your neediness is 200/total author rewards.
Then you weight the Siring charts with the Neediness Values under the Sires. My BP earned over time, and recent vote from my Sire, etc, all of that correlates directly to the Neediness Values. I become less needy as I am Sired and now want to raise my own value in the siring charts.
These Charts, like a top 100 Music Board list with linked accounts presented based on Neediness and Siring.
These Rankings Boards are Analytics, they can be combined with my Dashboard where I view Highest Post Views, How Many Views I got this month, How Many Followers I got, how many etc, etc, etc. Like YouTube or Google Analytics, the Analytics for Neediness and Siring should go there.
This could then be in a Scot Bot, or Smart Contract. This could be done many ways, but a Token could be rewarded to any number of various wallets, if not a Scot bot maybe an Ethereum or TRON wallet. It would reward people based on their ranks in the charts.
And they charts could include various things.
The Charts could be combined with Scripts or Bots, like SteemAuto so you log in and put your account on Autopilot and check your Karma Balance.
Or it could be like DTube.
But you are rewarded for your Rank, and various other defined tasks or achievements.
This would be a Token, the traded itself, so people can further possibly have a weighted rank on the Scot Bot, tied to their chart ranks and their Karma Holdings, and people could buy Karma and get more done to then expand your reach to help others and raise your BLURT.
"This life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of this entire existence, but in a certain sense the whole; only this whole is not constituted that it can be surveyed in one single glance.
