The real enemy and Education

Who says “No” to BTC is supporting a thief or they a thieves. The first needs education; the second requires power. As we don’t know which one is the case, we need education and protection at the same time. Protection is a must, as the thief is not going to stop seeing the business going down. The protection has to be effective, depending on which type of parasite we are dealing with. The risk is that we target a small parasite that is a victim of a bigger parasite—and leave ourselves unprotected against the bigger parasite. ...

We are all the same! Really?

Have you heard the one saying that “You are like those save in non-BTC. You see them as enemy and they see you as enemy and your fight is about getting power and when you overcome they are going to repeat the same and this is a pointless never ending war, and let’s stop all wars and accept the current situation. We are all the same!” OK! Assuming BTC forgets BTC, does the other side also forget BTC? ...

SaaS is Interest, neither Service nor Software

Things are connected. It could be just a lamp and the switch. Or it could be a radar network with command and control. Or it could be a distributed system with thousands of micro back ends. The back end is the part of the system that is not directly visible to the user. It is responsible for processing data, managing resources, and providing data and information to the UI. The back end is often built using a combination of programming languages, frameworks, and tools that work together to create a cohesive system. ...

The Parasite and the Superior

Ransom is to force something that isn’t needed. And a parasite is a ransom that does so as its natural way of living! A consensual relationship no one dares to break. The parasite has a vital reason for it, and the victim has a reason to accept it, for changing this bond is risky—endangering the parasite—while other victims must bear the burden of the first. Unless they all decide at once to sever the tie, which only happens in a perfect world where all relationships are consensual and true. ...

A Transparent Infrastructure is Functional

GitOps establishes itself as the core of a functional and declarative infrastructure model, where other tools and platforms become modular, interchangeable components. At its essence, GitOps uses a Git repository as the single source of truth, with infrastructure and application states defined in code. This means any change to the repository triggers automatic updates to deployments, allowing for a streamlined, automated flow without the need for a specific orchestration platform. ...

The Dark Energy and The Network

Let’s assume there are 21 million public keys which are trusted within a hierarchical structure. A network. A network.In this hierarchy, A trusts B, B trusts C, and so on, creating an indirect chain of trust that eventually leads to the last entity, which does not trust anyone else. This hierarchical structure is necessary because A cannot interact directly with all 21 million keys. The only thing known about these 21 million entities is their public keys—nothing else at scale. Occasionally, some details might be revealed randomly, but these are quickly changed again. And these keys are also changing, so there is infinite number of addresses become active and inactive again. ...

Buy Ticket or Buy Jail

If the government is the one that implements the law, why they force me to pay tax? Based on the definition of the government, tax is not essential unless to pay salary of the government as an organization like any other organization. Well, they collect taxes to fund businesses that provide products or services for me! By assumption, if the government didn’t do this, I would go directly subscribe to these services myself. For example, I could subscribe to a provider to maintain my garden or another to collect garbage. This approach has benefits: It gives me choice, allows me to spend more efficiently, and I can change the provider if I’m not satisfied with their service. Just look for subscriptions which makes more sense. ...

Name, Disruption, and Use

We invest in a trust to create something greater than the sum of individual contributions. This fund can be used to subscribe to necessary services or to finance the development of new features. As markets evolve, those who save in nothing except one digital are to dominate, meaning that any production company, regardless of size, must target the future digital world in one way or another. To do so, companies need to understand what BTC holders prefer to consume and how these preferences align with production needs. Targeting BTC, i.e. measuring in BTC, secures company’s future by impacting the choice in both the inputs and outputs of production. ...

Make Trust, Make BTC

Assume a BTC trust! An investment fund in BTC. Receive an address from us and transfer your funds there. You cannot withdraw the funds without a signature from the trust. The trust will discuss the need for withdrawal; otherwise, it will approve the withdrawal after written approval by the holders of the financial signatures in the company. This trust helps companies hold BTC and potentially profit from their savings. ...

Fault is Code

I clone a git repo, make a modification, commit, push, and create a pull request. The pull request is reviewed, merged, and the change is built, tested, and deployed to an integration environment before going to production. This process can be applied to any software project with an integration environment. Without it, we only know the code works on the developer’s machine and passes CI tests perhaps unless this level is all expected. ...
