The Great Reset Triggers A Bitcoin Network Upgrade

The COVID-19 crisis that has devastated the economy brought radical change to our social and political landscape. From Austria’s lockdown against the entire citizenry and forced injection, to mandatory quarantine camps in Australia, in an effort to manage the pandemic, the governments of many countries have become authoritarian.

In the past 19 months, as the world has been brought to a standstill through border and travel restrictions, the global leaders launched the Great Reset to restructure our economy. With slogans like “creating a more fair and greener future,” the WEF (World Economic Forum), together with non-governmental organizations and private business sectors, aim to create a society where “you will own nothing and be happy.”

The key aspects of their plan are based on a total monetary reset. It involves a rollout of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) that can document and track transactions of citizens all over the globe. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, who joined the initiative, indicated that the underlying economic policy of the Great Reset is tied to the vaccine mandate. Through implementing the vaccine passport QR code, they are trying to build a new digital economy that is akin to China’s social credit scoring system.

Bitcoin presents an alternative to this system. As 2021 wraps up, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler acknowledged Bitcoin as a competitor to the U.S. banking system. This year, as the existing power has morphed into a new global currency regime, they have increased their assaults on Bitcoin. The opposition creating conflict at the same time facilitated the further strengthening of the Bitcoin network.

Reputational Attack

This year began with a rehashing of the old narrative associating Bitcoin with criminal activities. On January 13, 2021, the head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde attacked Bitcoin’s reputation, criticizing how it can facilitate criminal activity.

This is a false narrative that has been repeatedly pushed despite the fact that a large percentage of all criminal activities are financed by fiat money or cash, and that Bitcoin is not completely anonymous, so a history of transactions can be easily tracked.

Lagarde’s hostile attitude toward Bitcoin was shared by her colleague, Janet Yellen, who now serves as the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury: While speaking at a Senate Finance Committee hearing on January 19 Yellen stated that cryptocurrencies are used for illicit financing and their use needs to be curtailed.

In the mid-year when the media narrative was converging COVID-19 with issues of climate change, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla took to Twitter to criticize Bitcoin’s energy consumption. With the Bitcoin “polluter narrative,” influential figures began making a case against Bitcoin, amplifying FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) in the mainstream media.

Controversial Infrastructure Bill

During summer, those verbal attacks seem to have escalated into a new threat. On July 28, the White House released a historic, bipartisan, infrastructure deal. The $1.2 trillion package was justified as providing new funds for building transportation systems, bridges, mass transit, rail, airports, ports and waterways.

It contained a controversial tax-reporting requirement for cryptocurrency, initiated as a vital avenue to finance this program. Taking advantage of the vagueness and broadness of the language used in the bill, requirements could be imposed on more than just cryptocurrency brokers (like Coinbase). They could also affect miners and wallet providers.

The infrastructure bill was signed by President Joe Biden on November 15. This new tax-reporting requirement can be seen as an attempt by the government to prevent Bitcoin from becoming an escape hatch.

We have seen this before. At the end of 2020, there was a move by the U.S. Secretary of Treasury to create a law that could ban self-custody of bitcoin, requiring more Know Your Customer regulation. The sweeping reporting requirements proposed under this bill can now be used by the government to capture bitcoin, within controlled custodians.

Anti-Bitcoin Sentiment

While lawmakers are trying to curtail Bitcoin through regulation, there was also a push toward politicizing Bitcoin. As the year went by, and the inflation rate rose sharply, “anti-Bitcoin” sentiment emerged on social media. Dave Troy, entrepreneur and TED speaker blamed Bitcoin for weakening confidence in the U.S. dollar:

I can't stress this enough: the crypto attack on the dollar is not strictly a "pump and dump" or a "grift." It's an ideologically-driven attack on the legitimacy of fiat currency, the @federalreserve, and the incumbent financial system. It is the sequel to the January 6th attack.

— Dave Troy (@davetroy) November 9, 2021

This type of narrative, going so far as to connect Bitcoin with the U.S. Capital Hill “riot,” came about at the same time as the Biden administration introduced the strategy to confront “domestic terrorism” for the first time.

In June, the White House released the document titled “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.” Investigative journalist Whitney Webb, who examined this policy, reported that despite its stated aim of tackling “right-wing white supremacists,” the policy targets anyone who criticizes the government.

Under this policy, those who use money other than U.S. dollars can be seen as challenging the U.S. government. Bitcoiners can be scapegoated, getting blamed for inflation and the destabilization of our economy. They can be easily branded as white supremacists or framed as “insurgency forces” that could threaten the legitimacy of the fiat’s monetary system.

Seeds are now being sown so as to harvest a demonization of Bitcoiners. In the month of November, Hillary Clinton, the former U.S. Secretary of State, speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, warned that “Bitcoin undermines the role of the dollar as the reserve currency.”

Power Of Pleb

Despite the efforts of its adversaries to undermine it, Bitcoin has remained resilient. It has been more bullish than ever, doubling its price over the last 12 months. The network has also gone through a major upgrade.

In mid-February, when the U.S. Treasury boss was about to make noises to discredit bitcoin as currency, the Bitcoin meme warriors launched the laser eye campaign #LaserRayUntil100k on Twitter. Humor, ingenuity and fun, that brought exuberance to that space, began to push bitcoin as the next world reserve currency.

Within a couple of days, members of Congress, celebrities and the vast majority of Bitcoiners placed laser beam eyes over their profile pictures, signaling endorsement for Bitcoin.

The campaign went viral, gaining attention from the mainstream media.

In April, as COVID-19 hysteria ramped up, many saw tyranny coming their way. When the idea of a vaccine passport began to surface on the internet, resistance emerged from the Bitcoin community:

Bitcoiners need to stand together against the “vaccine passport” issue, because I promise, you will be the next minority targeted if it gets entrenched.

— Michael Krieger (@LibertyBlitz) April 2, 2021

In July, a month after Elon Musk tweeted his mockery breakup meme, causing a sharp decline in the bitcoin price, the hosts of the Orange Pill Podcast, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert kicked off the F*CK ELON tour. In hot and lively Austin, Texas, the sharp and artistic creative couple held Bitcoiners’ only evening party. With music and performance arts, they uplifted the audience with relentless optimism, activating “the power of pleb.”

Evolution Of Bitcoiners

All those invigorating acts that spontaneously emerged have unveiled the deeper layer of the Bitcoin protocol. A “swarm of cyber hornets,” as CEO of MicroStrategy Michael Saylor called it, has now evolved into becoming stronger, faster and more intelligent.

It was as if the force of natural selection, working through Bitcoin’s proof-of-work, began to further separate sheep from the goats. A faction of bitcoin users who joined the network over time has demonstrated their commitment to the vision of the Ccypherpunks. They have become Bitcoiners. They confronted threats with fortitude during the blocksize war and fiercely defended Bitcoin’s core value of permissionless use and censorship resistance.

Now, individuals who have successfully met the ordeal, overcoming hardship have gained a new capacity. After surviving through a series of trials, they are now better equipped to take on the bigger fight.

Boosting Immune System

Aleksandar Svetski, the founder of Amber, the world’s first Bitcoin dollar-cost averaging app, described this selected minority as “the Remnant.” With the ability to call out scams and cut through all the nonsense, this small cluster of variant Bitcoiners boosts Bitcoin’s immune system.

They are Bitcoin maximalists. They act like a network of cells that gets activated when invaders come into their vicinity. Once they detect harmful substances, they release toxins and aggressively eject spoofs, scammers, and shitcoiners out from the ecosystem.

This combative defense is not the only way that Bitcoin maintains its integrity. There are other kinds of Bitcoin maximalists that bring out nurturing qualities as a vital part of Bitcoin’s natural immunity.

They are godmother to the shadowy super-coder, poet of the timechain and creator of the little HODLer. With capacity for renewal, they rejuvenate the Bitcoin network, providing protection and stability throughout bull and bear cycles.

Invisible Hand Of The Market

As the clown world continues with its fear mongering designed to shepherd people into a permissioned economy, Bitcoin’s incentives begin to further reach out to those who are willing to help themselves. The invisible hand of the market works wonders, steering a new path for self-interested individuals.

We get signals out of nowhere:

We don’t know their names and we can’t see their faces. Like the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, who gave the world a gift by making this revolutionary monetary system open-source, strangers with aliases generously share their knowledge and skills.

The unknown friend behind a screen acts like a good Samaritan, helping families navigate the turbulent times of monetary reset.

A Way Toward Bitcoin Standard

From Texas to Florida, as the U.S. governors embrace Bitcoin, ordinary people are paving a way to exit the dying debt-based monetary system. Kyle Murphy, co-founder of Austin Bitcoin Club and CEO of Pleb Industries hosted the Bitcoin Block party to facilitate wider adoption of Bitcoin. He is a former military vet who went to Afghanistan. Now he is back home working to build the Bitcoin standard to bring peace.

The spirit of localism kindled at the epicenter of the hyperbitconized U.S. economy has spread across America. Brian Harrington, a marketing consultant from Anaheim, California, engages in efforts to make usage of bitcoin as payment easier. He is working hard to create a circular economy to help people fight against inflation:

Bitcoin represents a formidable force. Uncensorable peer-to-peer networks backed by cryptography can take down the central banks, the most powerful institutions on the earth.

This potential to end destructive cycles of monetary corruption gives us hope. There are plenty of reasons for us to be optimistic about our future. But technology alone can’t secure our freedom. It requires the ideals that are shared in our hearts, each person’s dedication and willingness to engage in a labor of love to turn them into reality.

Vitality and resilience that sprung from the Bitcoin community this year have shown us the real power behind this magical internet of money. We, the Bitcoiners, are the sparks that can light a fire, maximize our potential and usher in a new era of prosperity and peace.

The Prophecy Of Satoshi Nakamoto: Bitcoin As Religion

During bitcoin’s parabolic price increase this year, Twitter profiles with laser eyes suddenly emerged. “Anons” and celebrities, such as Elon Musk, added red lasers rays to their portraits and the hashtag #LaserRayUntil100k started to trend. As the hashtag indicated, the laser eyes were added as part of an internet ritual to increase bitcoin’s price to $100,000. But the laser eyes were only the latest expression of Bitcoin’s culture, which ranges from an idiosyncratic terminology (think “HODL,” “number go up” or “nocoiner”) to an emphasis on eating meat and lifting weights. Not surprisingly, critics cited the laser eyes as more evidence for Bitcoiners’ cult-like behavior.

But if we dismiss these cult-like rituals, we simply fail to understand their significance for Bitcoin’s adoption. Indeed, if we want to understand Bitcoin and its parabolic growth — which, over 10 years, increased from zero to more than $1 trillion — we have to recognize Bitcoin’s quasi-religious dimension, which reveals itself in the beliefs of some of the most committed supporters and their exegesis of Nakamoto’s code and writings.

It’s the commitment and excessive enthusiasm of these developers and early adopters that have been driving Bitcoin’s development and adoption since its invention a decade ago. In other words, the evangelism of Bitcoin adopters — which are often dismissed as “believers,” “evangelists” or “cultists” — is an essential feature of Bitcoin’s technological diffusion.

Not just the online rituals of Bitcoiners but also Bitcoin’s genesis itself reveals a deep resemblance with religion. Similar to religion, Bitcoin has its own founding myth: it begins as an obscure and radically novel technology that was invented by a mysterious pseudonymous creator that has, later, completely disappeared.

One of the most salient features, of course, is the resemblance between Satoshi Nakamoto and religious leaders, such as Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for his belief. Whereas Christ died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement for sin, Nakamoto most likely sacrificed his estimated 1,148,800 bitcoin — which never moved from the original wallet — for his messianic, techno-libertarian vision of a decentralized alternative to fiat currencies and central banking.

Bitcoin itself — the protocol with its hard-coded 21 million supply — has, in turn, become a transcendent absolute beyond human control and manipulation that represents a universally valid and quasi-divine truth.

Similarly, the centrality of the white paper can be analogized to sacred scripture in religions. The mythologized absence of Nakamoto — often referred to as Bitcoin’s “immaculate conception” — has, in turn, stimulated competing exegeses of the white paper that aim to recover the true meaning of Nakamoto’s code and writings.

Over the past decade, incompatible interpretations of the white paper relating to technical features, such as block size limits, have triggered a series of so-called hard forks. Bitcoin Cash, for example, emerged in the summer of 2017 from developers’ disagreement about the block size and transaction throughput. The Bitcoin Cash–fork bifurcated Bitcoin not only into two different protocols but also into splintered “sects” that are guided by different visions of Bitcoin’s future.

So-called Bitcoin maximalists, for example, envision bitcoin foremost as a form of digital gold, that is, a decentralized store of value. This view emphasizes bitcoin as a “sound” alternative to fiat currencies. Given bitcoin’s finite and asymptotic supply, supporters of this view — which, because of its monetary network effects, consider bitcoin to be the only legitimate cryptocurrency — believe that bitcoin represents a digital store of value. In contrast, proponents of Bitcoin forks, such as Bitcoin Cash, envisioned that Bitcoin will primarily facilitate individual small-value transactions.

Culturally, as a consequence of these bifurcating views of Bitcoin, different communities on Twitter, mailing lists and online forums have organized around conflicting interpretations of the white paper and original Bitcoin source code, which represent two of the most sacred objects of Bitcoin. Naturally, for some of the more radical believers in the original vision of Nakamoto, the creation of altcoins — that is, cryptocurrencies that either directly copy Bitcoin’s source code or incorporate some of its technical or conceptual properties — is, in Bitcoin’s eschatology, equalized to heresy. Not surprisingly, the heresy of attempting to clone Bitcoin’s “immaculate conception” requires some Bitcoin maximalists to excommunicate altcoins and their developers and supporters from Bitcoin-related forums, social media platforms and meetups.

As Bitcoin full-node operators choose which vision of Bitcoin they support by running the software that enforces the protocol rules, running nodes can be reinterpreted as one of the foundational ritual practices of Bitcoin. The ritual of running a Bitcoin node represents the social process that decides upon, implements and enforces a set of transaction and block-verification rules, which network participants can adopt. By adopting the same set of validation rules, network participants form an intersubjective consensus about what constitutes “Bitcoin.” Dissenting network participants — which correspond to heretics — can only deviate from this intersubjective definition of Bitcoin by “hard forking” the protocol. By upgrading a copied version of the Bitcoin software to a new set of transaction and block-verification rules, the protocol becomes compatible with their belief and interpretation of the white paper.

Analogous to religions, early disciples are critical in diffusing bleeding-edge technological innovations. For example, technology entrepreneur Wences Casares proselytized Nakamoto’s utopian prophecy among Silicon Valley venture capitalists. In the early stages of Bitcoin, a small group of die-hard believers, such as libertarian technologists and cypherpunks, started to experiment with the technology when it was still in its proof-of-concept phase. Early adopters then started to improve the Bitcoin software.

This extreme belief of early Bitcoin adopters, in turn, triggered the interest of early speculators and investors, which were, often, ideologically motivated to invest in the technology. It was this inflow of capital and interest that triggered the first Bitcoin bubbles in 2012 and 2013.

After the peak — when bitcoin, for the first time, reached a price of more than $1,000 in November 2013 — the bubble collapsed and interest decreased substantially. Eventually, bitcoin’s price bottomed and formed a plateau that attracted a new cohort of new believers and investors who appreciated the importance of the technology. Bitcoin’s price plateau persisted for two years before a new bubble gradually started to form in 2015. A new base of adopters has, over the prolonged bear market that lasted from 2013 to 2015, formed for the next iteration of the hype cycle. The next two bubbles, which, in 2017 and 2021, resulted in unprecedented hype and attention, attracted an even larger set of adopters.

These cycles of Bitcoin bubbles, which have given rise to accelerating prices and increasing media attention, have created a self-validating feedback loop that is continually reinforcing the belief and commitment of Bitcoin Core developers, entrepreneurs, or speculators.

Bitcoin’s history, which is punctuated by these fractally repeating and exponentially increasing series of bubbles and hype cycles, shows that the extreme commitment and quasi-religious belief in the technology have been critical for bootstrapping the network and cryptocurrency into existence.

Now, while the religious dimension of Bitcoin is fundamentally important in the process of technology adoption and diffusion, we obviously can’t simply believe in Bitcoin for it to become successful. Money — in a free market — tends to converge on a single standard. In order for liquidity to gravitate to one cryptocurrency, its incentive design and protocol architecture must be vastly superior to any other competitor.

Bitcoin has objectively superior properties that are hard to replicate by altcoins. You can fork Bitcoin, but you can’t copy, for example, its network effects, the long track record of network reliability, or the self-reinforcing reflexive feedback loops that drive Bitcoin’s price, liquidity and security.

But coupled with its technical properties, the extreme beliefs and commitments of core developers, “HODLers” and entrepreneurs have, over the last decade, boosted Bitcoin’s market cap from zero to more than $1 trillion, and the network from one user — Satoshi Nakamoto himself — to more than 16,000 nodes. After all, as the history of Christianity, for example, demonstrates, a group of committed believers can have quite an impact.

As investor Peter Thiel once remarked: “The best startups might be considered slightly less extreme kinds of cults. The biggest difference is that cults tend to be fanatically wrong about something important. People at a successful startup are fanatically right about something those outside it have missed.”

It’s going to be interesting to witness what happens when more and more converts start to believe in the prophecy of Satoshi Nakamoto.

So far, the Bitcoin cult has been fanatically right.

A Look At The Origins Of Bitcoin Laser Eyes, As El Salvador’s President Dons Them

As Bitcoin 2021 wraps up, the announcement by Jack Mallers that El Salvador intends to adopt bitcoin as legal tender still resonates. Historical in scope, the announcement also comes with acknowledgements of the bitcoin community from the country’s president. One form of this acknowledgement is the donning of laser eyes, a meme created with my best friends. I believe this would be a good time to take a look at the origins of laser eyes, #LaserRayUntil100K and what led to the meme.

It all began when I was a Bitcoin Pleb with less than 300 followers. In April 2020, I found Bitcoin Twitter and joined the Pleb Army. I myself am Bitcoin Class of 2018, but I didn’t know that Bitcoin Twitter even existed at that time, let alone that it is populated with so many amazing people. The first account that I fell in love with on Twitter was American HODL. A toxic Bitcoin maximalist who would call out bullshit and scams, would have extremely insightful perspectives and, most importantly, he’d tweet perfect shitposts. A shitpost defined by Urban Dictionary is “any content on the internet whose humor derives from its surreal nature and/or lack of clear context. A meme’s humor comes from its repeatability, a shitpost is funny simply because it isn’t a predictable repetition of an existing form.” So, basically saying random shit to be funny and to encourage engagement from your community and/or haters. It felt like American HODL was absolutely the king shitposter on Bitcoin Twitter and I loved him for it.

One morning, a Bitcoin hater was commenting on a post by American HODL bashing his tweet. I decided to make a meme with the most basic of tools: the default Android photo editor application. I downloaded the appropriate image, created the meme and posted it under the nonbeliever’s comment. Before I knew it, I had a retweet by the AMERICAN HODL. Me, a Pleb, with maybe 30 followers was ecstatic. I now had a new mission: to meme.

I had always been the class clown, the jokester and always great with the quips. I also had a love for photo editing and drawing. With these talents and interests combined, I had found my new calling. I would become a part of the Bitcoin meme army. At this time, I was uncertain that a Bitcoin meme army even existed. This just so happens to be the time that two other memers came to my attention, Gregzaj1and Labra HODL. I had also been found by a legend by the name of RD_btc around this time who brought me into a meme group on Instagram. Greg and Labra quickly became my best friends on Bitcoin Twitter and we constantly challenged each other.

As months went on, we grew tighter while our group of memers grew larger. The Meme Factory(tm) was born. We didn’t have any agenda or goals other than to have fun, build each other up and help fine tune each other’s memes when requested. We all had our own styles and methods and absolutely complemented each other. We became a team of cyber hornets that attacked with imagery, humor and creativity. We uplifted the spirits in a bear market by poking fun at ourselves, shitcoiners and especially ridiculous no-coiners. We had inherited a mission to bond the community with memes!

On a smaller scale at the time, I enjoyed bonding the community with common avatars. I first did this in late November 2020. I started a campaign to create Christmas avatars for everyone in Bitcoin Twitter who would like one. I was soon overwhelmed, but I managed to create no less than 1,000 Christmas avatars for my fellow Bitcoin maximalists. Not only were we festive, we had a bond among our avatars, and it felt great to appear almost uniformed and separate from other subcultures.

This occurred again for New Years as I created avatars with fireworks and again when I assisted Yellow (ICOffender) on putting Hodlonaut helmets on Plebs who wanted to show support for the cat against the fraudster CSW.

This is the short backstory that led to what was to come.

#LaserRayUntil100K

Now let me take you to early February 2021. The price of Bitcoin is hovering around $42,000. The Meme Factory(tm) is doing what we do best, meme’n Bitcoin into the next world reserve currency. It’s at this time that Pedro requests that someone help him with a meme. He wanted laser eyes put onto a kangaroo to give his meme a little extra juice.

I gave Pedro’s meme some basic lasers… and then had an idea hit me like a bolt of lightning. I then proceeded to put laser eyes on everyone in The Meme Factory’s(tm) avatar. Well, not RD, he got derpy googly eyes. I posted all the laser eye photos to the boys and I said “When the day comes that we have to go to aggressive offensive meme warfare… We enact laser eyes!” We collectively decided that it would be awesome to rock the new avatars ASAP. I then voiced my thoughts to the crew “Trying to decide how we could kick off the laser eye campaign. #LaserRayUntil100K?”

This was the first time this hashtag had been shared. The meme-tards were onboard. Plan Marcus then suggested once the price hits $50,000 we start the campaign. The team was ready and the plan was set. We started the preparation by creating our memes beforehand and waited for the price to touch the $50K starting line. I reached out to one person that wasn’t part of The Meme Factory(tm), the one and only American HODL. I told him the plan and he responded with “I’m in!” The foundation was set.

February 16, 2021, the campaign officially began. The Meme Factory(tm) came out in full force. Within 72 hours, members of congress, celebrities and the vast majority of Plebs had donned Laser Eyes, while receiving prime time coverage from national mainstream media. 

So, what happens after a $100,000 USD Bitcoin? Well … #LaserEyesUntilFiatDies, of course.

P.S. The Meme Factory(tm) does not exist.
