Phase One Bull Market Ends, Now for the 'Consolidation' Phase

'The DOJ is the heart of the beast. Don't expect the beast to save you. It might eat you but it won't save you.' - Mike Gill

The Trump strategic Bitcoin reserve was announced last week, this is a good time to point out the strategic value of blockchain technology in general: it is the ability of nodes to audit transaction history, and to timestamp and merge previously silo-ed infrastructure and databases.

What Dan Robles failed to foresee in 2015 was Bitcoin becoming a reserve asset completely absent all of the engineering checks and balances highlighted in his 2015 NSPE lecture. Bitcoin has instead become an asset by pure fiat, by the same fundamental mechanisms that caused the service side of the NAFTA agreement to fail. The value proposition to the banking system of the memory hole was, is and always will be as enormous as the memory hole obviously is to those who’ve experienced its gravitational pull. The memory hole’s value proposition to the banks is the opposite of its value proposition to the engineer, just as the value proposition of the gun to the man holding it is the opposite to the man at the end of the barrel of that gun.

No Global Engineering Profession

Symptom or Cause?

• Different societies, races, cultures, different attitudes to risk, different social hierarchies

• Engineers are expensive to educate and norms pertaining to quality and variance are subject to cultural differences and metaphysical descriptions

• Embedding engineers within the social hierarchy largely unique to Western society, and even then involves major social tension, because it can be very expensive

• Often European engineers would defect to Muslim rule as mercenaries because Europe could not afford the social and economic cost of keeping them, their societies and economies were too fragile

• Orban the cannon maker of the Siege of Constantinople in 1453 was one example, but there are many others in many fields

• The homogeneity of global neoliberal capital and gatekeeping systems has reduced the mobility of artists, engineers, philosophers. Mobility that used to be founded in natural law is now founded in measurement systems that cannot measure and systems that steal and plagiarize their creative work and pass it of as their own.

The Ubiquitous Passive Adversary

• The passive adversary has a clear set of value propositions that it wants to keep the same or improve upon

• These value propositions may or may not align with our own, but rather than describing them in archetypal terms of ‘good’ vs ‘evil’, it is better to describe their desires in terms of value propositions. The reality is much more like Game of Thrones and the people within it are just as flawed.

• Framing this as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ or ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ detracts from how it operates to achieve its desired ends.

• A good recent example of this is Justin Sun paying Trump a backhander via his ‘World Liberty Financial’ scheme to dodge SEC charges. Trump gets paid, he gets to look like the Tony Soprano figure greasing the wheels, keeping his promise to make America a ‘global leader in crypto’ which is all just grifting anyway. And the SEC don’t have to air any dirty laundry in court on discovery, which in all likelihood they do have because they are a shower of grifters also.

• All this ‘Deep State’ stuff works the same way. And I suppose, at least, crypto is putting it out in the open, so the corruption is more like a tribute system, which is less seedy than sex blackmail, and stuff like that.

• Mario Cuomo recently made an interesting point, that almost even made him seem briefly likeable, is that there is no ‘Deep State’ there are only a sets of interests that sometimes compete but also sometimes overlap, and this quality, in synergy, gives rise to the phenomenon of the ‘Deep State’ which is a second order phenomenon, not a first order one.

The Narrative Network

Through careful control of political opposition sentiment and an underlying understanding of the social and economic factors leading to Donald Trump’s second term presidency, a certain power capital faction has managed to flip narrative control via astro-turfed podcasts to three letter agency control, in a very well executed shell game, whereby the political narrative and mode of power justification is allowed to change, but no redress of grievance nor fundamental justice reform takes place. Bitcoin’s strategic value, as a decentralized means of audit of double spending between network nodes, is co-opted as a means of trust within the ‘Deep State’ to further cement their power, while now even engineers, the very basis of real world value creation, are pushed out.

The advent of the Bitcoin strategic reserve, and the transition of the function of the Federal Reserve from a dictatorial private central authority to a more robust and efficient private network state, arbitrating bond yield between the zero coupon, the stable coin, and the 30 year Treasury, is the final phase of the ‘hijacking of Bitcoin’. In its implementation it proves many core aspects of Dan Robles’ work, and it does now mean that engineers are forced to act, because finance and insurance have colluded to dump all the credit risk onto engineers in the blockchain industry by proxy and to strip them of their authority to discern ‘natural law’ via pure monopolization and stagflationary accumulation, as described in the Romeo-Juliet Framework. The government and the Peter Thiel Siren Server have merged and they have kill drones with face recogntion that was trained on your Facebook pictures too.

Thus it should not be surprising that engineering technology innovation is, counter-wise, the most excluded and most discriminated against thread of development by the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries, even including the anarchists. Below is a very good video that highlights a singular inconsistency with prevailing understanding of the technology, which has been polluted with too much easy money which came as a result of racketeering and extortion, essentially, and not sound implementation of the principles of *natural law*, of which anti-fragility is one aspect.

Below is a brilliant video produced by DarkFi and Rekt News, but it contains one important flaw that I will highlight after.

We must distinguish between human laws, which are fickle and changeable, which are subject to corruption and require human intermediaries to enforce and enact, and natural laws, which remain constant. Thus we must discern between audit and document control according to the principles of engineering and quality control, and adversarial surveillance by opposing human actors, we must discern between the alphabet soup agencies as ubiquitous passive adversaries and unchanging realities, such as the laws of physics and thermodynamics, for example, as the ubiquitous passive adversary. Easy money, active exclusion and narrative network hypnosis have made the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries more stupid. Overall market intelligence as a quality of the technology’s value proposition has declined in this respect, since 2015, while the price has increased. There has been both a dilution and a pollution with respect to the understanding of the fundamental principles of natural law and how they pertain to the natural laws unlocked by the technology itself. This defines what is commonly termed a ‘bear market’ whereby innovation has been adopted, but the purpose has been lost in the process, which must be re-integrated before the bull market can take hold again.

Dilution

Bitcoin is an example of an innovation so powerful that it disrupted its own inventor out of its own development. While it’s no mystery that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, it will probably forever remain a mystery what events led to the Segwit Coin/B-Cash fork in 2017, and what Roger Ver, Calvin Ayre and Craig Wright’s discussions regarding Satoshi and the ‘Satoshiness’ of their resulting products and narratives were at that time.

By the same mechanism and according to similar dynamics the stories of many of those involved in the Bitcoin project, especially since before Bitcoin became multi-threaded, have become watered down, have been lost in the noise, or as in the case of celebrity patsy cults like Ross Ulbricht, have become a political theatre of cope and happy horseshit.

This is a clear bear market signal.

Pollution

Pollution can purely be described in terms of Diego Gambetta’s economic commentary and how not just passive line toeing, obfuscating and inaction, but also active and overt incompetence are rewarded in knowledge markets by racketeers. Knowledge of alternative modes of power, alternative technological approaches, alternative ways of thinking are not just a high ongoing cost to their business, but also an existential threat, especially in the blockchain industry, where seemingly trivial engineering decisions to the layman can have massive economic implications at scale.

Thus the quality of knowledge in the blockchain industry has not just been diluted, it has been polluted, in many cases deliberately, by those with a strong vested interest and very high sunk costs in their monopoly and the resulting expected rents. This strategy failed once with FTX, and the modus operandi was plain to see, but still it is going to take more disappointment, more pain, and more suffering for these lessons to be learned.

This is a clear bear market signal.

The Service Economy

Adjudication between the digital and the reality, engineering, is the highest possible service, and TPTB have utterly vandalized it in favor of ‘narrative control’ of an ever more dis-empowered, confused and demoralized populous circling into third world Hunger Games living conditions complete with government sanctioned murder replacing the social safety net and a pension.

Passed up opportunities

What the ‘Blockchain Based Service Economy’ is not

• Calling out three letter agency subversion, money laundering and blatantly criminal actors in the space

• Modular manufacturing and robotics integration

• Additive manufacturing

• Industrial metaverse, LIDAR scanning, digital twins with engineers’ digital signatures

• Document control/management

• Recruitment, professional reputation, competence management and development

• Object capability security patterns, to both lower attack surface of smart contracts and enable maximum concurrency of both human and computational work

Taken opportunities

What the ‘Blockchain Based Service Economy’ really is

• ‘Trust me bro I have a podcast’

• ‘Trust me bro I served federal prison time for conspiring to commit armed robbery of JP Morgan Chase’

• ‘Trust me bro I’m an iconic smoker of the dudeweed’

• ‘Trust me bro I’m a drug dealer’

• ‘Trust me bro I’m the FBI’ (same as above)

• ‘Trust me bro I run the FBI’

• ‘Trust me bro I run the CIA’

• ‘Trust me bro I’m a private intelligence agency trained by Erik Prince with Israeli Military Intelligence connections’

• ‘Trust me bro buy this IDF Trap Phone made by Erik Prince, they’re totally unlike those IDF pagers you heard about’

• ‘Trust me bro I’m friends with Vem ‘3rd assassin’ Miller’

• ‘Trust me bro Puerto Rico is Bitcoin Paradise, Nikolai just wasn’t a strong swimmer bro’

• ‘Trust me bro 5D Chess bro’

• ‘Trust me bro Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeff Hatch and Silicon Valley Bank, it’s all just a coincidence bro’

• ‘Trust me bro Derry Street New Hampshire is just a Fintech innovation hub bro’

• ‘Trust me bro I stole your Facebook pictures to make the face recognition for the genocide drones in Gaza’

• ‘Trust me bro I know so much about Western values as an African Jew I’m going to kill everyone who threatens those Western values, that I programmed into my ethnic cleansing robot army’

These are all clear bear market signals.

Let’s Get Real

Engineers have been treated like shit since the 70s, since the Thatcher yuppies thought they could turn it all into a supply chain utility, we’ve lost probably an entire generation of expertise and knowledge that will never be passed down nor retained. All these tacit knowledge systems in necessarily male dominated spaces were invaded by barren wombed HR lesbians who not only failed to attract a husband, but also failed to formalise this nuanced and delicate process of delta male social progression using lists, power point slides, finger wagging and SAP. Now nobody takes any responsibility for this, and the result of having no male competence based progression pathway in society based upon improving society, is a society dominated by megalomaniacal Dark Triad misanthropes hell bent on mass murder, starting with those who try to blow the whistle, but ending up with anyone and everyone who does not bend the knee.

That’s the society we have, the one Boomers bequeathed to us anyway, there was a slim chance that this technology could have alleviated the symptoms and at least slowed the decline and some of its root causes up until now, but TPTB, with the full support of venture capital, agorists, liberals, conservatives and all political stripes, and even engineers who just sat on their hands and watched it happen, have availed themselves utterly of any possibility of that thus far.

It’s not that blockchain is a break from the norm of the last half century, but it’s that its promise to be one from every single ‘influencer’ and ‘industry expert’ thus far has been a lie, and it has been a lie that many have been actively cognizant of, which makes it fraud, the very sort of fraud encoded within the Satoshi genesis block itself.

Those who toed the line and participated in the business restructuring process of global militarized imperial quantitative easing from a central institutional hierarchy to a cellular mockingbird media podcast network, sponsored by unhinged techno-oligarchs and Israel, got paid, and those who did not, and especially those who did not because they are competent, conscientious professional engineers and not criminally insane narcissists, they did not get paid.

Thus we can clearly begin to understand the difference between human law, founded in property rights and the capability to enforce those rights, and natural laws, such as physics, which make the moon orbit the Earth regardless of any of any opinions, especially those of paid subversion agents, about the Earth being flat.

Current Romeo-Juliet Dynamics

• Tulsi Gabbard, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel and others transition from the yellow to the red square, from an active Eavesdropping function to a Sybil function.

• Epstein files and Israel’s ties to JFK assassination and 9/11 define a hard limit on the reputational ammunition that Mallory is prepared to provide to Sybil

• Pam Bondi’s smoke show ‘release’ was part humiliation, part smoke show to discombobulate, and will be back ended with ‘I’m just a dumb blonde’ obfuscation of competence on the back end, which Eve can use to distract, confuse and measure

• Mike Gill is being pinned to the bottom of the board, Dan in particular has been directly aware of Mike’s evidence since at least 2022

Soylent Green is People

• When a value proposition is bankrupt, it gets liquidated. If the lender steals the investment you made to pay back the loan and then lobbies the government to enforce property rights on both, then you are bankrupt, and the system will liquidate you.

• Just the same principle can be applied to Thames Water getting a bailout for turning the Thames into an open sewer.

• This is why the UK government is ramming through welfare cuts and euthanasia, because the system of debt and property rights has made the proletariat into the credit risk, and even in the official channels of blockchain technology implementation has even pushed out the engineering technology thread of development, which is what certifies the ability of humans to solve their own problems on a balance sheet, which is what integrates the real economy into the digital economy, and thus cement has been poured on top of the grave.

• This euthanasia program is really just a formalized, if less immediately profitable, version of the opioid pain care and treatment center racket described by Mike Gill. The aim now is much more about reducing debt and credit risk, which are much more central to power and the maintenance of power, than money is.

Underpants Man

The shadow side of the ‘human as economic unit’ is the Underpants Man, the self appointed superhero and personality cult. This attracts attention but not cooperation and coordination, because it is a very low resolution and backwards understanding of how humans organize themselves to do useful things. Celebrity cults resolve down to petty gangsterism and ultimately to a centralized state hierarchy, as demonstrated by Trump and Milei meme tokens, and the Bitcoin strategic reserve itself.

Kier Starmer, Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Nick Fuentes, all these people have their personality cults, and nothing changes, even with all the technology at our disposal to change it, all the tools to communicate change. There are fantastical stories, and then there is the bait and switch, and then there is the cope, and that’s it. From ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ Happy Horseshit Tony Baloney Blair to the EU, to the banker bailouts, to Brexit, to all the rest of it: none of it is ever about building anything that solves to problem at the root cause for anyone or anything other than the neoliberal Deep State of special interests and its own maintenance of its own power. The populous, so demoralized and confused, flit between different fantasy stories without ever being given the opportunity to engage their own agency to see anything through and thus to realize any meaningful future. This is as true of this ‘Great Reset’ agenda as it is at the level of the 4-5 year democratic cycle purge and reset as it is at the level of the precarious gig worker making ends meet from one day to the next.

Everything that’s happened so far this decade has happened under a cloud of Cybertime Crisis, Hauntology, of the future, the ‘Golden Age’ that’ll be here any minute now, yet somehow seems to be passing the vast majority of people by, even if they do survive. What the Underpants Men always seem to leave out is that just surviving in this toxic, malign, and according to many experts in psychology, quite literally insane, time in which we live is a great achievement, the last achievement that the power hungry wish to strip from us.

Beware the Underpants Men because they’ll more often than not make it easier for those who want to take the last thing you have left than it needs to be.

Bazaar vs Cathedral

Cooperation requires the implementation of basic legal contractual and social principles such as: best reasonable efforts, time being of the essence, duty of care, division of labour and competence and the measurement of real value.

Societies cooperated, voluntarily, to build Cathedrals over the span of many centuries. The Sagrada Familia is a good modern day example of this. In the digital Bazaar the political personality cult memecoin can be $100 one day and 1 cent the next, and there’s no recourse to any authority whatsoever.

Bazaars suffer from lemon problems. Anyone promising you anything inside of them, when they operate as a mode of governance unto themselves, they have zero obligation to follow through on any promise. If you’re told ‘you can live the digital nomad dream’ and you end up at the food bank in Puerto Rico, or even wash up dead after tweeting that people are trying to kill you, there’s no suing anyone on the back end, no enforcement of any law, especially if all those involved are completely anonymous.

And today with anonymous cryptocurrency networks, there will be anonymous Underpants Men out there. It’s really quite horrifying and nobody is doing anything to prevent it.

Roman Storm: Another Patsy

Bringing this post back full circle, so to speak, to the engineers, the most important service economy workers getting stopped at the border, we have Roman Storm, developer of Tornado Cash, an anonymous transaction mixing Ethereum smart contract. Ethereum is well known to be a toxic cesspit of theft, fraud, malfeasance and three letter agency subversion, but those supposedly ‘supporting’ Roman rarely, if ever, speak about this. The thing about minefields is that the less people know about where the mines are located, the more dangerous they are and the more they explode at random, and the more ‘unjust’ casualties there are. Same as a three year old mistaking a fentanyl laced oxycodone pill for a Haribo, eating it and dying on the spot, which happens a lot in the ‘Free State’ of New Hampshire, by the way.

Those who really want to help Roman should be talking about, for example, three letter agency and state money laundering of the proceeds of illegal fentanyl trafficking and medicaid fraud, of human trafficking and arms trafficking to and by the Sinaloa drug cartel, now designated as a terrorist group, like Mike Gill does, at great risk to his own welfare and even life. What they should not, like Sterlin Lujan or Aaron Day, or many other so called ‘agorists’ and ‘voluntarists’, for example, do is stick their fingers in their ears and sing ‘lalalala’ and then pretend not only that it never happened, but that you never said it also.

People take different attitudes to risk and if it’s a great big prisoner’s dilemma and even the cops are involved, your passive adversary is only yourself and your ‘squad’ if you’re too much of a bitch to speak up about it.

AI: No Solution to Artificial Stupidity

As Amir says ‘violence cannot solve math problems’ and the same is true of engineering, and this is what gives rise to engineering innovation: the application of engineering innovation in warfare.

The Siege of Constantinople was a good example of this, but there are many others. The gattling gun, the revolver, the tank.

What differentiates blockchain and cryptocurrency technology in terms of SciFi is that it syncs time with value in cyberspace. It is a clock that demarcates, to the millisecond using best available technology, between the past, the present and the future, with no possibility for any memory hole, according to the value proposition that benefits you.

This can take the form of ‘The Mark of the Beast Illuminati Confirmed 666 Worldcoin Bill Gates Pink Sweater Augmented Brainchip Metal Gear Solid 4 Nanobot Grey Goo Apocalypse’ or it can just be like ‘here’s your surveyor’s report for your home, that generates utilities off grid, that you own, that Larry Fink doesn’t own, that you own, because you are a competent family man in your community, not a meat puppet credit risk, and we trust you because you go to church and fear God, and you earned your stripes, so go play with your kids and your very hot trad waifu’. It could be either of those things, and through not just our choices but our agency, we get to decide what it is.

But if we want it to be the latter one, we need to do a lot better.

Now fuck off.

TTFN.
