 "Huxley" by Ben Mauro is a graphic novel series set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi universe. The story follows two scavengers who discover an ancient robot named Huxley and embark on an adventure that could alter the fate of the galaxy.

The series is known for its richly detailed artwork and complex world-building, reflecting Mauro's extensive experience as a senior concept designer and art director for major gaming franchises like "Halo" and "Call of Duty," as well as films like "The Hobbit" and "Elysium".

In addition to the graphic novels, the Huxley universe spans various media, including NFTs, games, and a planned feature film. The narrative explores themes of survival and discovery in a world devastated by a nuclear holocaust, with surviving humans building flying cities and adapting to harsh conditions on the ground.

The game "Huxley: The Dystopia," a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter (MMOFPS), was developed by H-Studio, a division of the South Korean company Webzen Inc..

If Webzen, the company that wrote this game decided to use a shared MySQL database with Ubisoft Montreal, the owners of Rainbow 6 Seige, the players of HUXLEY: The Dystopia would be able to enter their Rainbow 6 Seige login details to use the in game money “Renown” in HUXLEY: The Dystopia. Instead they decided to use the options below, both of which allow access to users of other databases.

Coinbase uses its own MySQL database to keep track of who has bought what Bitcoin or Etherium; why are their databases different to the databases running at Ubisoft?

They’re not different. THEY’RE EXACTLY THE SAME.

Therefore the question is this, “why are databases in Coinbase treated differently to databases at Ubisoft or Webzen or…Nintendo?”

And in case you didn’t know, genius, Bitcoin is just another database. It is not money at all, any more than Renown is.

No one has managed to provide an explanation for this different treatment of identical databases. It’s perplexing.

And I can tell you right now, that when people pretending to understand Bitcoin who are tasked with making legal judgements about it are asked this question, they have no answer. They are silent.

These legally trained non field experts are in fact imposters who don’t understand anything about Bitcoin, video games, databases, webhooks, webviews, iframes, software or anything about the contexts, realities, facts and common practices that are now decades old.

It’s also incredible that so many people “in Bitcoin” are also impostors; claiming that Bitcoin is money, that it is fundamentally different to MySQL and that it should be treated differently in law to any other database.

These people explanation for these deceived “Bitcoiners” is that they’re in a cult.

What is your excuse?
