so... let's talk about $ubi price. every now and then, haters like to remind me the fact that price has gone down recently.

that's fine: back in the early days of $btc or $eth i received the same messages with crashing charts trying to fud me.

but let me share why i'm bullish. Image first: $ubi v2 development is moving at fast pace. this will extend $ubi's utility by extending its streaming features allowing anyone receiving $ubi via @proofofhumanity to delegate a % of their stream to someone else, transfering money in real time at a very low gas cost.

somos 8000 y seremos los 8000 millones. erradicar la pobreza tiene que ser otro gran objetivo de la tecnología, no alcanza con ir a marte.

las sociedades que progresaron son las que entendieron como capitalizar su capacidad tecnológica... y no son las que abrazaron un dogma determinado. es lo que tienen en común china 🇨🇳, estados unidos 🇺🇸, singapur 🇸🇬 o emiratos 🇦🇪 cuando pegaron sus saltos de crecimiento. argentina 🇦🇷 padece de analfabetismo tecnológico en toda su clase política, sin excepciones. hasta el más pichón de los burócratas no sabe ni cómo prender una computadora. así resulta imposible votar a cualquiera de los candidatos. ninguno entiende el siglo xxi.

la única forma que un gobierno pro-mercado pueda plantársele a estados unidos en latinoamérica sería adoptando el uso de cripto a gran escala. si la confrontación a las fuerzas del norte obliga ideológicamente a los gobiernos latinos a asumirse como socialistas, seguirán ganando siempre los del norte.

mascarilla 😷 en lugares públicos cerrados y lavarse las manos. todo lo demás es fascismo. a los gobiernos, los vigilantes y su yuta que se vayan a la puta que los parió.

on this thread: the slides of my @EFDevcon talk on how can we formalize humans over decentralized networks.

it was a rant about how complex this problem is and an overview of the different approaches tackling the *proof of human* (PoH) problem. the social blockchain able to deliver on promises of more democratic governance or implementing universal basic income at scale would emerge if PoH gets figured out.

but as @Snowden pointed out: don’t verify identities, verify rights.

1/ on this thread i’ll try to explain our current line of research at @DemocracyEarth that led us to the model described in token.democracy.earth on how to use the blockchain for a borderless democracy. 2/ a fundamental requirement for *any* voting system is having a consensus on who gets the right to vote on an election. without that, any election can be manipulated (eg “dead people in voter registries” or “db admin delaying registrations”). so identity becomes a key aspect.

on exodus the commandments where written in stone. on bitcoin values get encoded using the strongest cryptography ever computed.. and it's also about an exit to freedom. the liberator moses, doesn’t make it to the promised land. like satoshi: dies right before everyone gets there.

1. reforma en carta orgánica de bcra para permitir compra de cripto activos.

2. ley y reglamentación para la custodia. bitcoin declarado como moneda de uso legal.

3. colocar 1% de reservas en bitcoin. minar con infraestructura de energía nuclear instalada. bitcoin funcionaria como batería deflacionaria del peso. quien observa wall street hoy, sabe del hambre colosal qué hay del dinero institucional para acceder a cripto. el uso de energía nuclear para minar sería con el excedente que no abastece al mercado (ej: durante la noche).

a crypto that computes inclusion:
token.democracy.earth economics detached from social sphere is driving blind. a blockchain able to set citizenship rights is a public resource that can deliver clear growth metrics beyond the strictly monetary.

mil pesos argentinos en enero de 2017 hoy valen 35 dolares.
esa misma cantidad en bitcoin hoy valen 645 dólares o 18 mil pesos. al banco central le sugerí en 2014 poner el 1% de sus reservas en bitcoin. pero la economía mejora también si lo cada argentino.

success mostly depends on the insurance against failures you can pay. describing the 'what' and the 'how' is the task of politics and economics.

what people simply don't get about this debate is that one works better for economical transactions and the other is better for political transactions. both spectrums are necessary for the creation of human institutions able to scale collaboration.
maximalism is the bias of applying zero sums to everything.

argentina 🇦🇷 is a country that went through hyperinflation in 1989 and a currency pegged to the dollar 💵 during the 90’s until it defaulted in 2001 and people’s savings were lost.

this country is now leading the world regarding blockchain based technology. here’s why: the startup @ZeppelinOrg has audited over $1.5 billion in smart contracts, being responsible for many of the largest ICOs of 2017. its libraries are a must go source for anyone working on ethereum. founded by @demibrener & @maraoz, ITBA graduates, the best engineering university.
