| about | Tick, tock, next block. Born in the flood, raised in an adversarial environment. Here comes a 10x improvement over the monopoly. It can't be controlled, stopped or confiscated. Its unbreakable rules can't be argued with. It gradually, then suddenly, deconstructs the monopoly's broken incentives, replacing the clown world with a foundation based on termodynamics and common sense. Its not a democracy, there is no equality; deal with it or opt out. If you're a socialist, you'll probably be allergic to it. Participation is voluntary, its permissionless and its fairly simple rules. Its intentions are transparent, trustless and verifiable at any time by its open source code. Its unbreakable rules will be enforced until the last node is turned off and every last copy of the white paper is erased; good luck with that. You may try to attack it, many before you have tried. Nation States, corporations and even the most powerful participants of the network have and they all failed miserably. Not only have they failed, but the network has arguably become stronger after every single attack, realigning itself around the vulnerability, figuring out for ways to solve the attack surface for the future. Thanks to an absolute finite supply, its potential appreciation attacks one of the strongest human forces: greed. Man in the High Castle, you may wonder, how loyal are my men, how strong is my tower. Maybe, before you even notice, the great castle you assumed strong and secure may be hunting for you, from the inside. Its not easy nor obvious, its covert, almost invisible, how the network infiltrates every single layer of your empire of dirt. |
