The Evolution of Man

While still largely unacknowledged, this is all due to a highly contentious, yet still relatively unknown or, at best, misunderstood, technology which has now been in existence for nearly 9 years. This post is the first in a multi-part series that I will be posting on this subject in the coming weeks. With it, I will have a little fun and throw out some slightly wild ideas. They're not important to the larger message, but they provide some context for what's to come.

A Brief History of Bitcoin

https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/nintchdbpict000306226097.jpg?strip=all&w=960

In this most recent attempt at consolidating and providing clarity to several thoughts that I've had brewing in my head for months, I recognize that it is crucial that I speak to an informed audience. In order to do so, I must provide a brief history of one of the most astounding inventions that mankind has ever created. To keep it short, the following is what you must know: 1. On Oct 31st, 2008, an unidentified person going only by the moniker Satoshi Nakamoto released an invention to the world. 2. The name of the invention was Bitcoin and the release included the open source code which made his invention instantly available to the entire world. 3. The concept of Bitcoin is simple on the surface but extremely complex at its roots. At its simplest, Bitcoin is a ledger of information not much different than that which any traditional banking institution or accounting system relies upon. At its roots, however, Bitcoin is as complex as the entirety of all of mankind. 4. Bitcoin is inherently unstoppable. It is a virus in the wild whose spread could only be prolonged by a complete and forceful shutdown of the entire global Internet and every last bit of its infrastructure - something which is impossible to do short of a catastrophic global catastrophe of existential proportions. ---

A Conspiracy at Large

While we all think we know the history of Satoshi Nakamoto releasing his Bitcoin whitepaper and source code to the world, we must take a step back and try to see the bigger picture for what it is. Namely, **Satoshi Nakamoto didn't simply release a Bitcoin white paper out of the blue one day.** That's simply all the world knows at a public level. Instead, I propose that Satoshi Nakamoto was a very prominent player on the global stage **before** he released his amazing invention and that he had a very good idea of some of the resulting ramifications it would bring. As a result, he intentionally obscured his real identity for any number of plausible reasons. The most obvious reason for this secrecy would be due to fear of reprisal from shadow forces. You may have heard of the [shadow banking system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banking_system), but keep in mind here that they're simply one faction of a larger and more formidable body. In the broadest sense, global shadow forces consist of any person or entity who, out of view of the public eye and without audit, accountability or repercussion, uses their existing wealth or other capital in order to secretly manipulate entire swaths of society. In the world of public service (government), this would be referred to as corruption. In the banking industry, this would be shadow banking that is beyond the realm of institutional audit and accountability. There may also exist private citizens, telecom and other technology industry leaders, and more who participate in this realm. Anyone with the proper clout and leverage can contribute to this hidden sector of society, but it's the wealthiest and most influential being discussed here.

Networks of Influence

https://steemitimages.com/DQmbekV5ZvZ2tdYY1z7AwaQa12PEmF45PNhHgoY53ZTzWdo/bilderbergsecretmeetingsnewspaper-1.jpg

The individual components of this shadow society could be broadly categorized into several different flavors: 1. Public - These are individuals such as heads of states and heads of industries. These people exist under our noses but we can't provably recognize them (or hold them accountable) for who they inherently are and what they do. In general, they're broadly accepted by society. 2. Private - These are any random individuals in society. They're not hidden from the world, they're simply not recognizable names to the average citizen. These people also exist under our noses but we don't necessarily have a record of them trying to influence policy or affairs for their own gains. 3. Public Private - These are a combination of the two listed above, but they're comprised of only those that are both the most powerful and the most corruptible. In other words, some public officials only sell their wares directly to the public - we're well aware of their positions but they enjoy broad enough popularity to keep getting elected and safeguard themselves from prosecution - while others are far worse actors behind the scenes for their own personal gains. Likewise, lots of private people can be wealthy, but not all of them are inherently corruptible, deceptive and self-serving to the detriment of larger society. - The worst of the worst of the first two groups, working in tandem for their own benefits over society's, is the basis for this group. 4. Private Private - These are the complete unknowns. No entity that they work with knows their real identity, only that the person they're working with yields exceptional wealth, power, and/or influence. It could be any of the first three types that one is working with or it could be someone who doesn't exist anywhere on paper around the world - an extremely powerful "ghost", if you will. In summary, there are certain people who exist whom are massively wealthy, powerful and influential; they are able to exert a lot of pressure on anyone in society, be it economic, political, physical, or otherwise, in order to massively manipulate global events and policies. The world at large is generally unaware of these influential people. We may have suspicion around several of our publicly elected leaders and their staff, but we have little or no awareness or accountability for the massive amount of corruption and deception that permeate our entire society. Satoshi Nakamoto, as we know him, is amongst these ranks. I contend this is so **not only because of his Bitcoin creation**, but because he was amongst them **before he ever released Bitcoin to the world**.

Creating A Global Crisis

https://steemitimages.com/DQmPjaT3r93Xf7phvwwA6iN9eBiAN1vNiv1Mp6zL8MTsfsH/image.png

With these thoughts in mind, I believe that **Satoshi Nakamoto is directly _responsible_ for the 2008 global financial meltdown.** Nakamoto's global introduction of Bitcoin was on the heels of the [largest financial crisis in modern history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008). Prior to then, many individuals and coalitions, such as E-Gold and Liberty Reserve, had attempted to create a new type of banking system on the relatively young information super highway. They had all been subjected to massive, crippling regulation and attacks which led to their downfalls. And while the forces that those new digital currencies fought against are relatively known and acknowledged, what is lesser acknowledged in Western society are the forces that non-Western societies face when attempting to compete on the global stage. Nakamoto, being wholly aware of this, came up with a design that **could not be shut down**, a design that could not be hacked and destroyed despite attempts by the wealthiest and most powerful forces in the world. My working theory is that Nakamoto, though whatever channels he may have had available to him, attempted to lean **hard** on individuals involved in the shadow banking industry. He undoubtedly knew that the current system was broken, but fixing it entailed going against the most powerful shadow forces in the history of mankind. In essence, what he would be asking for, demanding, is the resignation of those individuals from their positions of massive, ungoverned, unaccountable power; the unveiling of the scam to all of the world. This would not have gone unnoticed throughout society, however, and is obviously not something that those elites of the world would easily give up.

Tipping Point

Perhaps no one other than Nakamoto himself could verify these exact thoughts, go into detail on motives and incentives, or disclose how long he had attempted to negotiate with these shadow forces across the world. It may have been two days or it may have been two decades. However, with his principled stance and the influence afforded to him as a participating member of the global shadow forces [i.e. someone that could not easily be censored, influenced, or silenced], he no doubt had been fighting these corrupt factions for several years, if not decades. Eventually, as a means of last resort, he informed key individuals in this group of his creation, of what he would be releasing to the world. If they would not give it up willingly, he would take it from them. **This was a checkmate position from which there was no escape**.

Checkmate

As full realization of the potential ramifications of this new technology set in, those shadow bankers [actually initiated the global financial crisis on their own](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008#Boom_and_collapse_of_the_shadow_banking_system). That is, as the writing on the wall began to appear, these individuals defaulted into a series of steps designed to protect their own cumulative wealth and power. These events, initiated out of fear and greed, ultimately needed to be accounted for somewhere. Thus far, the history books will tell us that the Lehman Brothers precipitated the crash. [However, no one has ever been held accountable for it.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehman_Brothers#Ongoing_litigation) The citizens of the world bore the pain of this massive amount of corruption and, in one fell swoop, Nakamoto kicked off the beginning of the end for any and all of those people who rise above traditional governance in the finance and global economics industries. **He beat them at their own game.** In deceiving this group of users into causing the crash of the system they'd built, he **used their own greed and financial mismanagement against them** as an opportunity to unveil his mathematically perfect creation to the world. Nakamoto had succeeded in **completely breaking** a power structure which has been inherent not only in the modern world, but throughout all of mankind's existence. The power enjoyed by that shadow government, one which has immensely unfathomable power and wealth in today's world, has been shattered. With the advent of a decentralized system of currency, a currency that is incapable of falling victim to centralized institutions with anything other than the full, transparent knowledge and consent of it's population of users, Nakamoto has introduced a possibility to our species which we've never before been able to experience. Nakamoto, whether known to him or not, is directly responsible for kickstarting the most significant period of human evolution that our species will ever know.

A New Paradigm

https://steemitimages.com/DQmRxWa21Mgt2QpBABvtCdJ93cFCDhzsyXcqUwv56eks5Xx/new-paradigm-ahead.jpg

To wrap this up, I would like to assert my belief that this event will, to future generations of man (or what we eventually become), be seen as the genesis moment of the single biggest leap in mankind's evolutionary history in millennia. This leap will not happen overnight, but the eventual ramifications of the creation and release of this technology will be viewed on par with the creation and discovery of agriculture, math, and language. It will be recognized as **that significant** of an evolutionary leap when the dust finally settles some years or generations down the line. Would you try for a moment to imagine how significant those changes were to all of mankind? Do you think that mankind was even able to **fathom** the concept of math or language at any time in its existence prior to the period when they were created and began to proliferate around the world? Those things would have been **literally unimaginable**, because our brains were simply too elementary to comprehend them. None of those technologies took root across the globe overnight. In fact, they took thousands of years to spread to mankind and become ingrained in who we are as a species. But they grew. As a species, we passed this type of knowledge on through the generations. Our ability and will to adapt to these changes is a magnificent achievement, one that we only have knowledge of ever happening **once**, to a single species, in the entire universe. However, today's new paradigm will not take nearly as long to permeate our species as those in our distant history. In the timeline of man, this shift will take place overnight, in the relative blink of an eye. We are (and have been) actively living through this evolutionary epoch **right now**, and most people aren't even aware that it's going on. In fact, I have gone on the record many times stating my belief that mankind will see **massive** societal evolution and changes resulting from this within the next 5-8 years. These changes will be so incredible, they are so unimaginably foreign to us as a species right now, that people today are barely, if at all, even able to fathom what it will mean for us. * Wars? Gone. Never again will we so violently destroy our own species. * Corruption? Gone. Not overnight, but this is the beginning of rooting heritable corruption out of society. * A Utopia of abundance and harmony? Soon, very soon, along with unimaginable increases to our quality of life, increases that are likely only rivaled by the advancements mankind saw following the invention of agriculture, the discovery of math, and the realization of spoken language. A quality so great that future generations will wonder how humanity ever survived prior to this ultimate period of enlightenment which we're going through.
To truly break down these variables and properly convey them at a foundational level, several pages, or perhaps even chapters of a book, would need to be written before they could communicated in a meaningful and impactful way. I'll leave that for another day but, rest assured, this technology is **massive beyond comprehension** and I look forward to seeing it grow and advance. Be sure to buckle up and hang on. This will be a wild ride with an eventual great outcome, but the worst bumps are likely yet to come!
