1/18 Bitcoin's Computer Nodes, which have, so far read (and processed) at least 613,870 chat interactions since January 3, 2009 (one every 10 minutes over the past 11 ½ years), one cannot expect us, humans, to waste our precious little time on earth, checking (every 10 minutes!)

2/18 what’s truly happening with our money. Especially, having understood that “Money” is nothing else, but a system of Accounting Entries (don't believe anything else) to keep track of our Current Economic Value Contribution and any excess of it, we have created during our

3/18 lifetimes. In short, Money is just ANOTHER PROCESS, and as such, it should have been automated decades ago. But, as we all know, it’s been over a century, since the State made money a Religious System, where only the Central Bank Pope and the powers that put them there

4/18 decide how to control your life with it (Yep, all 5,000 years of it*) BTW don't think double entry made it much better since 1497 (Jajaja). Regardless, now that we’ve found a way of delegating that

*Pretty much, since the Sumerians invented single-digit accounting entries!

5/18 task to a process that essentially turns electricity into accounting units, made scarce and immutable (unhackable) by an algorithm that uses network-effects and game-theory dynamics to sustain itself, without human intervention, we’ve automated Money out of the hands of the

6/18 state. Without further ado, I will pass now to the AST intro. For those who don’t speak Spanish, do paste my text at translate.google.com.

ON NAMING THE CHAT AVILA SAPIENS
Two thoughts: 1. When I chose the name for the group, I thought of Silicon Valley, which led me to

7/18 Caracas Valley, Avila Valley, and ultimately to Avila Sapiens. That train of thought came from the business model I've been thinking about since I began researching Bitcoin in 2015: "Pollinator," as opposed to "Incubator" and "Combinator". Just like in nature, Avila Sapiens'

8/18 role would be to help carry the pollen (information technology) to the brightest flowers (human minds) that populate the landscape throughout Latin America.

FROM HERE ON IT's ALL IN SPANISH!
AST (Ávila Sapiens Textchain) es el nombre que le damos a la ristra de textos

9/18 generados por este chat, desde el primer segundo de su creación hasta este momento. La idea del nombre es reiterar lo que significa BLOCKCHAIN, una ristra de textos escritos, conformada por bloques de caracteres (hash) generados cada 10 minutos por y para computadoras, que

10/18 contienen el algoritmo criptográfico que los entiende, y que echó a andar Satoshi Nakamoto (¡whoever that is!) el 3 de enero del 2009. Ávila Sapiens se creó, principalmente (aunque de vez en cuando hablamos también de Venezuela) para trata de entender las tecnologías

11/18 financieras y especialmente, las diferencias entre Bitcoin y sus competidores o detalles como, por ejemplo, qué significa "Blockchain Privado” (a misnomer, of course) en comparación con “Permissionless Blockchain” o porque Ethereum, en su forma actual, nunca podrá escalar

12/18 (y ellos los saben y de como las matemáticas, abren las puertas a los cinco tipo de algoritmos que los servidores de Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple y otros gigantes del Internet, vienen usando muy exitosamente para espiarnos, segmentarnos y vender nuestra metadata privada

13/18 a terceros o para terceros (como Ed Thorp) y todos quienes intentan predecir el margen de opcionalidad de sus APUESTAS (just making sure we don't call it trading) sobre los precios de las monedas, acciones, clima, enfermedades, etc., alimentando servidores virtuales con

14/18 trillones de bits de data que cada segundo, generamos los usuarios de cualquier dispositivo electrónico en cualquier parte del planeta que esté conectado al internet. O las dinámicas detrás de todos los procesos a nuestro alrededor, tales como el ciclo entre Top-Down y

15/18 Bottom-Up (ver sequoian.com/2017/08/27/wp-…) que rige la vida orgánica (incluyendo a Sapiens, con todo y su pensamiento abstracto, *el arma letal con la que, en menos de 45,000 años*sometió a depredadores como lo grandes gatos (4 millones de años en la cima) o el tiburón

16/18 (400 millones de años dominando el océano) y a todos los seres vivos (a quienes, cría, explota y engulle como que si fuesen vacas, o pollos, Jajaja!). BTW, I think PREDATOR- PREY… contains the best proof, I have ever documented on the true nature of our financial Central

17/18 Planning system (as opposed to Free Markets, Competition, Supply, and Demand...In short, all the things that apply to "small-time economic agents" like anyone of us, but never to the financial system) since 1914 (see symmetric.world), and that has been around since

18/18 prehistory (which is why we always come back to it), especially since we became nature's chosen Storytelling Monkey as Harari calls the only strain of hominids that survived, out of 5 coexisting branches, some 70 to 150 thousand years ago when “rigging the system” began.
