Some who see my profile today or if they see my Twitter or LinkedIn profile will call me a heretic or even a impostor. Well the idea was not to create a publicity stunt but in line with my commitment to one of the resolutions that I did with myself to work full time in promoting Bitcoin.

And what started as a small experiment on my LinkedIn profile has no gone into a full flow change to my other social profiles too.

So now let me think out loud what can be the consequences of this. And what I can get, well my aim for changing my social profile was not to get some undue attention or to do a publicity stunt but rather to commit myself full time to work on an idea and movement which I think is far more stronger than the Cryptocurrency and its value itself.

The reason why Bitcoin made sense even when there were many digital currencies launched before Bitcoin was not just the timing (aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis) but also the need for a currency that is not bound by the capital control of Banks and States which themselves did not have any value in their own and did wield their value based on what Central Banks or Governments said their value was. This is the premise the whole world economy is hinged on. Even worse the world economy is a debt economy where how much a country owes Debt and sells them as bonds and is able to pay interests on them decides how well their rating and how healthy their economy is.

When ever I talk to any MBA or a financial analyst they start by questioning what is the premise of Bitcoin or any Cryptocurrency is. Well while they were skeptic or were beating their head around what is the basis of valuation of Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin and when governments and finance gurus were calling this as tulip bubble or Ponzi scheme. Bitcoin and the Cryptocurrency market as a whole sky rocketed to almost 800 Billion Dollars and now sits around 680 Billion Dollars.

But from what I read and understood from the technology and the community and also reading views of Satoshi Nakamoto, the whole premise of Bitcoin was completely different. I just wanted to be the currency of internet. And like open money allowed anyone to adopt it. It was adopted by charities, it was adopted by money launderers, it was adopted by drug cartels, it was adopted by startups, it was adopted by people and nerds like you and me and it was also adopted by open source community and also by dark web. So what we understand by it, for the first time since World Wars and in centuries we had the purest concept of money. A medium of accounting and bookkeeping kept in a decentralized manner across a network run by the general people and whose price is decided by the people like us and used for doing transaction and create value around it to do real business.

And for the first time in the history of finance Banks and Governments feared this open money and started attacking it. Like they attacked free speech, like they are attacking free flow of humanity, like they are attacking free flow of knowledge and ideas and like they are attacking free flow of culture. They also have been attacking Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency for last 9 Years. And guess what each time they attack Bitcoin has been more stronger an resurgent. Because its not run just by a computer network it is a financial network run by people. Even today in the narrative of high transaction fees, Bitcoin Cash, Segwit Forks. The super bullish run of shit coins like Tron, Ripple and Verge. People forget that Bitcoin is not broken, and will re-surge. People forget the history and the hundreds and thousands of altcoins that came and died. If anyone goes by the history, Bitcoin was the past, Bitcoin is the present and by the grace of Satoshi Bitcoin will be the final Cryptocurrency that will ever be.
