GMoney celebrates episode 135 of Rugpull Radio on the eve of Bitcoin's 17th anniversary and the 250th year since 1776, tying together history, prophecy, and technology in one explosive broadcast. He connects the dots between Trump's tariff strategy, the Federal Reserve's 1913 origins, and Bitcoin's rise as the tool to end financial slavery. GMoney argues that true freedom isn't political, it's proof of work, not proof of stake, and that Bitcoin represents the “digital 1776” prophesied in Q drops. From John Perry Barlow's vision of a free Internet to Trump's cryptic speeches and Eric Trump's mining ventures, every thread points to a global shift of power from bankers to individuals. Alongside hilarious ad reads for Soft Disclosure and My Shroom Vibe, GMoney mixes philosophy, tech, and scripture to reveal a digital war centuries in the making, where knowledge, not bullets, wins the day.

In this episode of The Crazy Wisdom Podcast, Stewart Alsop talks with Jacob Hall and Kyriakos Skiouris, co-founders of Agingo, about the evolution of blockchain from linear ledgers to volumetric, multi-agent architectures. Together they explore how concepts like sovereignty, auditability, and immutability can redefine trust, governance, and digital agency in both human and artificial systems. The conversation touches on blockchain's philosophical and technical frontiers—what an “AGI for blockchain” might mean, why immutability will matter in the age of AI, and how decentralization could restore autonomy without chaos.

Jacob Hall and Kyriakos Skiouris argue that traditional blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum are “choo-choo trains”—linear systems limited by their own history. Agingo's model introduces volumetric blockchain, where multiple agents and dimensions of time operate simultaneously, allowing for more secure, adaptive, and physics-like computation.Sovereignty depends on auditability at speed. True digital sovereignty, they suggest, isn't just owning your data but being able to verify it instantly. If you can't audit a transaction or vote in real time, you've lost control of it. Fast, transparent auditability becomes the foundation of autonomy and trust in digital systems.Language, contracts, and blockchains are all ledgers of meaning. The conversation reframes contracts as linguistic and symbolic structures—records of shared trust. Blockchain, in this light, is not just code but a living language that keeps history intact and immutable, anchoring truth in a world of mutable data.Bitcoin's promise was idealistic, but its structure is fragile. Hall recalls the early altruism of the Bitcoin community, contrasting it with the dogmatic, profit-driven culture that followed. The failure to evolve past linear design and ideological rigidity mirrors historical schisms in religion and governance.Immutability will become essential in the AI era. As AI systems learn to rewrite their own data, humans will crave immutable records. Blockchain's permanence provides a safeguard against subtle, undetectable shifts in digital reality—an anchor for truth as models become more autonomous.Volumetric systems mirror consciousness. Their design mimics the distributed, multi-agent nature of the human brain. Just as neurons work in parallel, a volumetric blockchain processes data through overlapping agents that validate one another, creating a kind of digital nervous system with emergent intelligence.Decentralization must include cultural and ethical intelligence. True progress, they conclude, isn't just technical—it's cultural. Without new forms of etiquette, communication, and mutual respect, decentralization risks reproducing the same hierarchies it seeks to replace. Blockchain's next leap must integrate human values with technological sovereignty.

GMoney welcomes special guest Bastien Sinclair for a mind-expanding deep dive into the origins, evolution, and future of Bitcoin. Sinclair, a former Cold War veteran turned author of The Bitcoin Breakout, recounts his journey from the 2008 financial collapse and Ron Paul's liberty movement to discovering Bitcoin as the ultimate weapon of peaceful resistance. Together, they decode Satoshi's creation through the lens of asymmetrical warfare, Austrian economics, and the “software thesis,” explaining how Bitcoin functions as both a network and a form of energy-backed sovereignty. The two explore the S-curve of global adoption, institutional infiltration, and how Bitcoin's scarcity transforms economic power forever. The conversation turns philosophical as they discuss freedom, the end of taxation, and whether Bitcoin's rise could fulfill a digital 1776. With history, strategy, and conviction woven through every minute, this episode captures the revolutionary heart of the Bitcoin movement, where technology, truth, and liberty converge.

Benjamin Wallace's new book is The Mysterious Mr. Nakamoto: A Fifteen-Year Quest to Unmask the Secret Genius Behind Crypto.   It's the greatest whodunit. Whoever created Bitcoin became the world's richest person, yet we don't know who he is. In fact, we don't even know if it's one person. There have been other cases where identities have been hidden for a while: Mysterious Whistleblowers (Deep Throat) Mysterious Authors (Ferrante, Klein, Publius) Mysterious Artists (Banksy) Mysterious Spies / Hackers (Cambridge Five, QAnon figureheads, Cicada 3301) However, nothing tops the enigma of Satoshi Nakamoto. Watch my interview with Benjamin Wallace on the WanderLearn Show: Watch the Video Interview Questions for Benjamin Wallace In 60 seconds, tell us why we should be curious about who Satoshi Nakamoto was. What's the percentage chance that Satoshi Nakamoto is more than one person? What's the percentage chance that Satoshi Nakamoto is dead? Assuming he's alive, what's the percentage chance that Satoshi Nakamoto will voluntarily reveal himself in his old age or via a dead man's switch video? Who are your top 4 candidates for Satoshi Nakamoto? If those 4 candidates are in a pie chart, how big is the 5th piece of the pie: the Someone Else slice?  Although Nakamoto's OPSEC was impeccable, is it realistic to believe that he faked his Britishisms, his double-spacing after periods, and potentially running his prose & code through a stylometry mixer because he was certain that Bitcoin would become a multi-trillion-dollar asset? What new insights have you had since you wrote the book? What's the percentage chance that we will definitively solve this mystery like we solved the Deep Throat mystery? Or will the ending be more like Forrest Fenn (e.g., a partial conclusion because we know the treasure was found and by whom, but we don't know where)?  What surprised you in your investigation? It seems you want Nakamoto to be Hal Finney, but it's hard to believe he didn't tap into the fortune when his life was on the line. And why not admit to being Nakamoto when he was on his deathbed? Perhaps to protect his family from assaults? Perhaps because he collaborated with someone else and doesn't want to unmask him. But then he could admit that he was part of the Satoshi team and leave it at that. Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? In his book, Wallace writes that any plausible Nakamoto candidate should have the following characteristics: Software tools Coding quirks Age Geography Schedule Use of English Nationality Prose style Politics Life circumstances (How had Nakamoto found the time to launch Bitcoin? Why had he left the project when he did?" Resume ("I'm not a lawyer.") Emotional range (humble, confident, testy, appreciative) Motivation to create Bitcoin Rationale, and the foresight and skill, to create a bulletproof pseudonym (Who would bother wiping a crime scene clean before it was a crime scene? Who was already that good at privacy in 2008?) Monkish capacity to renounce a fortune Although this list severely restricts who Satoshi Nakamoto could be, it still leaves countless possibilities. Wallace, who has been trying to crack this mystery for 15 years, has yet to meet a candidate who checks all the boxes. Wallace refrains from declaring that he has solved the mystery, even though countless "detectives" have already done so. He interviews people who tell him, with 100% certainty, that Satoshi Nakamoto is: Nick Szabo James A. Donald Adam Back Hal Finney Peter Todd (according to HBO) Elon Musk Numerous other options It's tempting to select what you think is the most viable candidate, throw in a heavy dose of confirmation bias, and declare, "Mystery solved, Sherlock!" Plenty have done so. It requires great restraint to resist the temptation of calling it a day, and instead, persevere pugnaciously like Wallace has in what is the greatest whodunit of the 21st century.  Many suspects seem highly implausible. Elon Musk, for example, is a bombastic self-promoter who would love to proclaim he was the genius behind Bitcoin. It's unimaginable why he would keep his mouth shut. Hal Finney was a sincere, honest, and good guy. As he said many times when he was dying of ALS, he had no reason NOT to reveal that he was Satoshi Nakamoto. Therefore, it's not him, even though it would provide a neat explanation as to why the old Satoshi Nakamoto bitcoins haven't moved.  Adam Back is plausible, although ex-cypherpunk Jon Callas says, "The primary argument against Adam Back is he couldn't keep his mouth shut." Still, an engrossing 3-part documentary argues that Nakamoto is Adam Back. Here's the final episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfcvX0P1b5g  Is Nick Szabo Satoshi Nakamoto? For several years, I believed Nick Szabo was Satoshi Nakamoto. It was an unoriginal deduction since Szabo is a popular choice among amateur Nakamoto detectives. Indeed, Szabo was one of Wallace's prime candidates for a long time. However, in his book, Wallace explains why Szabo has too many strikes against him: Szabo is a scatterbrain when it comes to projects. He doesn't focus on one thing for years. He juggles 150 balls. Nakamoto was laser-focused for 18 months. He told Jeremy Clark that Szabo "seemed to think that his bit gold was better" than Bitcoin. Clark also said Szabo is an "incoherent" presenter, whereas Nakamoto was "lucid."  Although Szabo is intensely private, he's not a complete recluse. He likes sharing ideas and getting public recognition.  Minor point: Satoshi Nakamoto wrote, "I'm not a lawyer," but Szabo is one. Although these points suggest Szabo is unlikely to be Satoshi, Szabo remains a strong Nakamoto candidate, given the absence of a perfect candidate. Besides, Clark's points are easily refuted. Just because Szabo implied Bitgold was better than Bitcoin means little. Szabo could say that to shake off people who think he's Satoshi. Or he could genuinely believe that aspects of Bitgold were superior to Bitcoin. Clark said Szabo "seemed to think..." He didn't say, "Szabo emphatically said..." Also, I listened to Szabo speak for 2.5 hours on the Tim Ferriss Show, and he sounded plenty lucid to me.  Szabo is a decent speaker. Naturally, Szabo always denies he's Satoshi. As Wallace says, denying you're not the guy proves nothing. Mark Felt was an obvious suspect for being the Deep Throat in the Watergate scandal. He denied for decades. And guess what? He was Deep Throat! Sometimes the most obvious suspect is the criminal (think O.J. Simpson). Is James A. Donald Satoshi Nakamoto? After reading The Mysterious Mr. Nakamoto, I added another suspect to my short list: James A. Donald. Satoshi Nakamoto used the rare term "hosed" a few times. Donald did so twice.  Furthermore, Donald was the first person to respond to Satoshi Nakamoto's original Bitcoin post, albeit in a critical way. He has various other attributes that Satoshi Nakamoto shares (read the book to see them all).  However, Donald is rough around the edges, whereas Satoshi Nakamoto was silky smooth, polite, and unoffensive. Again, James A. Donald is no slam dunk candidate. Nobody is. Hence, the mystery endures.  The only negative aspect about this book is that it may provide too much detail for the casual reader with limited interest in this mystery. If you're just looking for the answer, I'll tell you now: we do not know who Satoshi Nakamoto is.  For Satoshi sleuths, there is no better resource than The Mysterious Mr. Nakamoto: A Fifteen-Year Quest to Unmask the Secret Genius Behind Crypto. It delves deeper and wider than any video, article, or book about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Believe me, I've gone down that rabbit hole. Why should we care who Satoshi Nakamoto is? Many argue we don't need to know who Satoshi Nakamoto is because: Knowing his identity could taint the "immaculate conception" of Bitcoin because we might learn that Satoshi Nakamoto was an asshole. We should respect Satoshi Nakamoto's right to privacy. He obviously wanted to be pseudonymous, so let him be. If Satoshi Nakamoto is alive, it would imbue him with too much power, especially over the Bitcoin protocol.  I strongly disagree with this lack of curiosity. Why? There's a chance that in the 25th century, historians will consider Bitcoin one of the top 10 inventions of all time. I'm not saying that Bitcoin will be around in the 25th century, but something like it will exist and be the global currency, and historians will link its existence to Bitcoin. In 2001, Arthur C. Clarke predicted that by 2016, "All existing currencies are abolished. A universal currency is adopted based on the 'megawatt hour.'" Eight years before Clarke's prediction, Bitcoin was created. Although Clarke was wrong about other currencies being abolished,  Bitcoin's value is loosely correlated with its energy consumption. I explain why Bitcoin is worth anything. Consider the Top 10 Inventions and Their Inventors Imagine if we didn't know who these inventors were: The Printing Press - Johannes Gutenberg (c. 1440): This invention revolutionized communication, allowing for the mass production of books and the widespread dissemination of knowledge, leading to the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution. The Electric Light Bulb - Thomas Edison (1879): While others experimented with electric lighting, Edison created a practical, long-lasting, and commercially viable incandescent light bulb, which transformed society by extending the day and enabling new industries. The Telephone - Alexander Graham Bell (1876): The telephone revolutionized long-distance communication, enabling people to speak to each other across vast distances in real time. The Steam Engine - James Watt (1778): Watt's improvements to earlier steam engines significantly increased their efficiency, powering the Industrial Revolution and leading to the mechanization of factories, transportation, and other industries. The Automobile - Karl Benz (1885): Benz is credited with creating the first practical automobile powered by an internal combustion engine, ushering in the age of personal transportation and reshaping urban and rural life. Alternating Current (AC) Electrical System - Nikola Tesla (late 1880s): While Edison championed direct current (DC), Tesla's work on AC made it possible to transmit electricity over long distances, laying the groundwork for modern electrical grids. The Airplane - Orville and Wilbur Wright (1903): The Wright brothers achieved the first successful controlled, powered flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft, fundamentally changing travel, commerce, and warfare. Penicillin - Alexander Fleming (1928): Fleming's discovery of the first antibiotic revolutionized medicine by providing a cure for many bacterial infections, saving millions of lives. The Internet / World Wide Web - Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn (Internet, 1970s) & Tim Berners-Lee (World Wide Web, 1989): These inventions created a global network of information and communication, transforming almost every aspect of modern society, from business and education to personal life. The Computer - Charles Babbage (early 19th century): Babbage's designs for the "Analytical Engine" laid the theoretical groundwork for modern computers. Later, inventors like John Atanasoff, Alan Turing, and others developed the first electronic and programmable computers. Imagine if we had no clue who invented penicillin or the telephone. Wouldn't historians do their best to figure that out, especially since they were recent and impactful inventions? Would you just shrug your shoulders and say, "Who cares? My telephone works." Sure, many wouldn't give a shit. However, for other, more curious minds, we'd like to know.  Major Inventions with Unknown Inventors Here are four major inventions whose creator is a mystery: The Wheel: The invention of the wheel is one of the most important technological advancements in human history, enabling transportation and mechanization. Archaeological evidence suggests it originated in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, but there is no record of who first conceived of it. The challenge wasn't just creating the wheel itself, but also the wheel-and-axle system, which required precise engineering. Writing: The development of writing systems enabled the permanent storage and transmission of information, transforming human society. The earliest known writing system, cuneiform, emerged in Sumer (ancient Mesopotamia) around 3400 BC. However, like the wheel, it was likely the result of a gradual process of development by many different people, not the work of a single inventor. Fire making: Some person probably rubbed two sticks together, and the rest is history. Since we can't know who that individual was, it would still be fascinating to know where it started and if it was developed in more than one place independently, like Calculus.  Bitcoin: Yeah, it's a major invention. It's been the best-performing asset since 2010, it's worth more than any company, and Satoshi Nakamoto is the wealthiest person ever. It has sparked a multi-trillion-dollar industry in just 15 years. So, yes, it's important, and yet we don't know who created it. Verdict: 10 out of 10 stars! Admittedly, I'm a Bitcoin fan who has produced many videos and articles about the first cryptocurrency, so I'm biased. Still, if you love a perplexing mystery, you will love trying to solve this one. The good news is that we haven't solved it yet.  My Satoshi Nakamoto Fantasy There's a good chance that Satoshi Nakamoto is around my age. If so, he also has a 30-year life expectancy.  I hope that in 2050, a video appears on the Internet that shows an old man who says, "I am Satoshi Nakamoto. To prove it, I will do what no Satoshi pretender has been able to do: move the 'Satoshi' coins that have been dormant since I mined them in 2009." He records himself and his computer screen, and with a few clicks and keyboard taps, the transactions get broadcast onto the Bitcoin blockchain for all to see.    Next, he says, "I am donating my one million bitcoins to the Bitcoin Core for ongoing maintenance and to the following charities." Or perhaps he'll use the one million Bitcoins to create a Bitcoin node on the Moon. Or perhaps he will "burn" his Bitcoin, reducing the total BTC supply to 20 million coins, not 21 million. Regardless, I hope Nakamoto will finally unmask himself, just like Mark Felt (aka Deep Throat) did when he was 91 (he died at 95).  Yeah, this fantasy is unlikely, but we can dream, can't we?

Rob Warren is Head of Research and Education at Bitcoin Park and the author of The Bitcoin Miners Almanac. He brings a unique ability to explain the economic incentives of bitcoin mining in a way that makes sense across industries and expertise. In this episode, Rob joins The Bitcoin Frontier to share how bitcoin's incentive structure creates resilience, why mining is misunderstood but critical, and how energy markets and bitcoin naturally align. We dig into the history of mining and the difficulty adjustment, the realities of mining pools and decentralization, and the surprising ways bitcoin miners are accelerating global electrification.SUPPORT THE PODCAST: → Subscribe → Leave a review → Share the show with your friends and family → Send us an email: podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=you... → Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?ut...TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 – Intro & Rob's role at Bitcoin Park 2:30 – From home mining experiments to Riot Platforms and Bitcoin Park 5:00 – Why Rob wrote The Bitcoin Miners Almanac 8:10 – The three essentials of mining: energy, cooling, and connectivity 9:30 – The brilliance of the difficulty adjustment 13:00 – Satoshi's hard cap and why it broke economic orthodoxy 20:30 – How incentives keep miners aligned, even without ideology 24:00 – The “security budget” debate and what it misses 29:00 – Mining economics: liabilities, waste energy, and heat as an asset 31:00 – Flare gas, hydro, and turning liabilities into profitable inputs 37:00 – Gridless and bitcoin's role in electrifying rural Africa 43:00 – AI superclusters and their overlap with bitcoin mining 49:00 – The history of mining pools and how Slush solved variance 56:00 – Difficulty, shares, and how pools account for work 1:02:00 – Centralization risks, hidden white-labeling, and Ocean's model 1:11:00 – Bitcoin's anti-fragility and the long-tail theory 1:18:00 – Adoption as a 140-year game, not a 5-year scheme 1:21:40 – Where to find Rob and upcoming Bitcoin Park summitsWHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Unchained X: / unchained → Unchained LinkedIn: / unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Rob Warren's Twitter: https://x.com/BikesandBitcoin → Timot Lamarre's Twitter: https://x.com/TimotLamarre

After a week of $NAT tokens being allocated to Bitcoin miners, we take a closer look at the longer-term implications and explore potential scenarios where $NAT plays a pivotal role in the sustainability of mining operations. We analyze which miners have accumulated the most tokens and, by projecting across different market cap brackets, estimate the weekly value being accrued. This exercise aims to highlight how $NAT can fulfill its long-term mission once market forces drive its token value significantly higher than it is today. We also discuss the responsibilities and roles as the founders going forward, now that the technical framework for $NAT as Bitcoin's new subsidy reward token has been established, drawing parallels with Satoshi's early efforts in galvanizing community support for the movement and successful propagation of the ideals behind Bitcoin. In our view, there are still several key tasks ahead, such as deploying infrastructure primitives that will facilitate more liquid trading environments for $NAT and the creation of sustainable DeFi networks that can leverage the DMT ecosystem. Additionally, $NAT needs a substantial amount of educational content to clarify its mission and the broader goals of the DMT ecosystem. With a target market cap of $1 billion, which we believe is achievable, we are confident that these challenges will be addressed by the community, ensuring the ecosystem's resilience and long-term growth.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Abhimanyu Dayal, a longtime Bitcoin advocate and AI practitioner, to explore how money, identity, and power are shifting in a world of deepfakes, surveillance, automation, and geopolitical realignment. The conversation ranges from why self-custody of Bitcoin matters more than ETFs, to the dangers of probabilistic biometrics and face-swap apps, to the coming impact of AGI on labor markets and the role of universal basic income. They also touch on India's refinery economy, its balancing act between Russia, China, and the U.S., and how soft power is eroding in the information age. For more from Abhimanyu, connect with him on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop opens with Abhimanyu Dayal on crypto, AI, and the risks of probabilistic biometrics like facial recognition and voice spoofing.05:00 They critique biometric surveillance, face-swap apps, and data exploitation through casual consent.10:00 The talk shifts to QR code treasure hunts, vibe coding on Replit and Claude, and using quizzes to mint NFTs.15:00 Abhimanyu shares his finance background, tying it to Bitcoin as people's money, agent-to-agent payments, and post-AGI labor shifts.20:00 They discuss universal basic income, libertarian ideals, Hayek's view of economics as critique, and how AI prediction changes policy.25:00 Pressure, unpredictability, AR glasses, quantum computing, and the surveillance state future come into focus.30:00 Open source vs closed apps, China's DeepSeek models, propaganda through AI, and U.S.–China tensions are explored.35:00 India's non-alignment, Soviet alliance in 1971, oil refining economy, and U.S.–India friction surface.40:00 They reflect on colonial history, East India Company, wealth drain, opium wars, and America's rise on Indian capital.45:00 The conversation closes on Bitcoin's role as reserve asset, stablecoins as U.S. leverage, BRICS disunity, and the geopolitics of freedom.Key InsightsA central theme of the conversation is the contrast between deterministic and probabilistic systems for identity and security. Abhimanyu Dayal stresses that passwords and private keys—things only you can know—are inherently more secure than facial recognition or voice scans, which can be spoofed through deepfakes, 3D prints, or AI reconstructions. In his view, biometric data should never be stored because it represents a permanent risk once leaked.The rise of face-swap apps and casual facial data sharing illustrates how surveillance and exploitation have crept into everyday life. Abhimanyu points out that companies already use online images to adjust things like insurance premiums, proving how small pieces of biometric consent can spiral into systemic manipulation. This isn't a hypothetical future—it is already happening in hidden ways.On the lighter side, they experiment with “vibe coding,” using tools like Replit and Claude to design interactive experiences such as a treasure hunt via QR codes and NFTs. This playful example underscores a broader point: lightweight coding and AI platforms empower individuals to create experiments without relying on centralized or closed systems that might inject malware or capture data.The discussion expands into automation, multi-agent systems, and the post-AGI economy. Abhimanyu suggests that artificial superintelligence will require machine-to-machine transactions, making Bitcoin an essential tool. But if machines do the bulk of labor, universal basic income may become unavoidable, even if it drifts toward collectivist structures libertarians dislike.A key shift identified is the transformation of economics itself. Where Hayek once argued economics should critique politicians because of limited data, AI and quantum computing now provide prediction capabilities so granular that human behavior is forecastable at the individual level. This erodes the pseudoscientific nature of past economics and creates a new landscape of policy and control.Geopolitically, the episode explores India's rise, its reliance on refining Russian crude into petroleum exports, and its effort to stay unaligned between the U.S., Russia, and China. The conversation recalls India's Soviet ties during the 1971 war, while noting how today's energy and trade policies underpin domestic improvements for India's poor and middle class.Finally, they critique the co-optation of Bitcoin through ETFs and institutional custody. While investors celebrate, Abhimanyu argues this betrays Satoshi's vision of money controlled by individuals with private keys. He warns that Bitcoin may be absorbed into central bank reserves, while stablecoins extend U.S. monetary dominance by reinforcing dollar power rather than replacing it.

En inventant le Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto n'a pas seulement créé la cryptomonnaie. Il a proposé une véritable philosophie qui nous invite à reconsidérer notre rapport à la vie privée et au pouvoir. À l'ère numérique, peut-il exister un pouvoir sans chef, un pouvoir distribué ? Peut-être, à condition de repenser le concept de "confiance", pour passer d'une confiance aveugle à une confiance critique.➔ Regardez la version vidéo de cet épisode : https://youtu.be/mX1QXvJjKWA➔ Rejoignez-moi sur Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/ParoledephilosopheMembre du Label Tout Savoir.

Yirmibir Bitcoin Podcast'in "Bitcoin ve İslam" serisinin "Bitcoin Only" serisinin 3. bölümüne hoş geldiniz [Başlangıç talimatı].Bu bölümde, Bitcoin dışındaki kripto para birimlerinin karşı karşıya olduğu etik sorunlara odaklanıyoruz. Genellikle göz ardı edilen bu problemler, yeni bir kripto projenin başlangıcında paraların nasıl dağıtıldığı ve kurucuların para politikası üzerindeki kontrolü etrafında yoğunlaşıyor. Hedef riba sorununu çözmekse, az sayıda kişiyi başkaları aleyhine haksız yere zenginleştiren bir alternatif yaratmak çelişkili olacaktır.Birçok kripto projesi, Bitcoin'in sınırlamalarını aşma iddiasıyla bir kurucu ekibiyle başlıyor. "Airdrop"lar ve "tokenomik"ler gibi dağıtım stratejileriyle, kuruculara, geliştiricilere ve erken yatırımcılara çok sayıda coin tahsis edilir. Geleneksel finanstan esinlenen İlk Coin Arzları (ICO'lar), şirketlerin dijital token satarak fon toplamasını sağlar. Ancak ICO'lar, yatırımcılara anlamlı güvenceler sunmadan yüksek riskli token'lar satarak düzenleyici boşlukları sömürür. Michael Flaxman'ın belirttiği gibi, ICO'larda likidasyon tercihleri veya uzun vadeli hak ediş programları gibi standart yatırımcı korumaları yoktur. Bu yapı, projenin terk edilmesiyle perakende yatırımcıları değersiz token'larla bırakan ahlaki tehlikeler yaratır ve dolandırıcıları cezbeder.Son yıllarda "meme coin"ler gibi daha nihilizm içeren trendler ortaya çıktı. Bu coin'ler, kullanım değeri iddiasında bulunmaz; tamamen spekülasyon amaçlıdır ve erken yatırımcılar tarafından "pompalandıktan" sonra şüphelenmeyen perakende yatırımcılara "dump" edilir. Sam Callahan, "premine" adı verilen yöntemle içeriden kişilerin sıfır maliyetle aldıkları coin'leri, projenin popülerleşmesiyle perakende yatırımcılara sattığını açıklar. Bu yapay dağıtım süreçleri, içeriden kişilere başkaları aleyhine fayda sağlayacak şekilde tasarlanmıştır, bu da tartışmasız bir şekilde etik dışıdır.Bitcoin, bu etik sorunların aksine konumlanmıştır. Genesis'inde ne bir "premine" ne de bir ICO vardı. Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin'i herkes gibi madencilik yaparak elde etti ve başkalarının katılımını bekledi. Bitcoin, kurumsal değil, organik olarak ortaya çıktı.Diğer kripto paraların aksine, Bitcoin'in bir lideri yoktur. Satoshi, protokolü oluşturduktan sonra projenin gerçekten tarafsız olmasını sağlamak için ayrıldı. Andrew Bailey ve Craig Warmke'nin belirttiği gibi, bu liderliksiz durum, Bitcoin'i daha sağlam ve dayanıklı kılar; merkezi bir bankası veya CEO'su yoktur.Ayrıca, diğer kripto para birimlerindeki protokoldaki değişiklikler genellikle çoğunluk oyuyla veya merkezi otoritelerin kararlarıyla zorla uygulanırken (örneğin Ethereum DAO hack'i ve ETH arz politikasındaki değişiklikler), Bitcoin etik olarak kullanıcılara muhalefet etme özgürlüğü tanır. SegWit veya Taproot gibi yükseltmeler geriye dönük uyumludur, yani kullanıcılar isterlerse kabul etmeyebilirler ve yine de fikir birliğine katılabilirler. Pete Rizzo'nun vurguladığı gibi, Bitcoin'de kullanıcılar para haklarını pazarın takdirine bırakmak zorunda kalmadan istenmeyen özelliklere itiraz edebilirler.Bazı İslami finans uygulayıcılarının Bitcoin'in ilk dağıtımının haksız olduğu iddialarına rağmen, Bitcoin'in lansmanı mümkün olduğunca adil ve şeffaftı. İslam, zenginliğin mutlak eşit dağılımını değil, adil dağılımını hedefler.Sonuç olarak, diğer kripto para projeleri kurucu etkileri, token dağıtım modelleri ve yönetim uygulamaları nedeniyle etik sorunlarla doluyken, Bitcoin adil başlangıcı, liderliksiz gelişimi ve kullanıcı özerkliğine saygısıyla öne çıkıyor. Bitcoin, bu etik tuzaklardan uzaktır ve İslami ilkelere uygun, gerçekten etik para temsil etmektedir.Kaynak

Karl Kreder, better known as Dr. K, is best known in the space for researching the use of merged-mined subnets to scale Proof of Work in 2018 – a concept which led to the launch of the Quai Network, which introduced the Proof of Entropy Minima (PoEM) consensus for high transaction throughput within a decentralized environment.
