Title: The Evolution of Writing and the Birth of a Decentralized Ledger
Abstract:
This paper explores the historical context of writing, tracing its origins back to Mesopotamia where the first writings were recorded on ledgers. It discusses how civilizations that did not require a ledger, such as the Aboriginals in Australia, did not develop writing systems. The paper then transitions to the modern era, where technical writing has evolved into programming languages, leading to the creation of decentralized ledgers. It argues that the evolution of writing has driven us towards an upgraded internet-native decentralized ledger, describing this progression as helical - cyclical and upward at the same time. The paper concludes by proposing Bitcoin as the money of the internet, enabled by the convergence of new technologies like robotics, AI, 3D printing, biology, genetics, and neurotechnology. It suggests that in an economy of abundance facilitated by these technologies, Bitcoin can serve solely as an upgraded ledger rather than as a medium of exchange, store of value, or capital.
Introduction:
The history of writing can be traced back to ancient civilizations, with Mesopotamia standing out as one of the earliest known examples of a written language. The emergence of writing was closely tied to the need for record-keeping and communication, leading to the development of various writing systems over time. However, not all civilizations felt the need for writing, as seen in the case of Aboriginal societies in Australia who thrived without the use of written language due to their abundance of physical resources.
Evolution of Writing:
As civilizations progressed and technology advanced, writing evolved from simple inscriptions on clay tablets to complex programming languages used in modern times. The transition from traditional ledgers to decentralized digital ledgers marks a significant milestone in the evolution of writing. This shift towards internet-native decentralized ledgers reflects a helical movement - a cyclical and upward progression from simple to complex and synthetic forms of communication.
Bitcoin as the Money of the Internet:
In today's digital age, Bitcoin has emerged as a potential candidate for becoming the money of the internet. Enabled by the convergence of cutting-edge technologies like robotics, AI, 3D printing, biology, genetics, and neurotechnology, Bitcoin offers the possibility of creating an automatic economy with abundance of resources. In this context, Bitcoin can function solely as a ledger, facilitating transactions between individuals and supporting an upgraded version of the economy.
Conclusion:
The evolution of writing has played a crucial role in shaping human communication and record-keeping practices. From its humble beginnings in Mesopotamia to the modern era of decentralized ledgers and programming languages, writing has undergone a transformative journey. Bitcoin represents a new chapter in this evolution, offering a decentralized ledger for the digital age that can potentially redefine the concept of money and economic exchange. As we continue to witness the convergence of new technologies, the role of Bitcoin as a ledger may become increasingly prominent in facilitating human interactions and shaping the future economy.
good talk
Only time i inuse and exchange is to buy crypto and send it off to my cold wallet... thats it!! Simple and easy butnthe only thing i hate is the fees... 😩
❤ Bitcoin is still in its infancy. Most people dont understand yet that it is going to be the #1 storage for wealth ❤
River Customer Service Team is obsolete... please to whom can I contact as a River Agent cancelled my account unjustly!
BTC
It's over. #btc
BTC was developed for Africans because it solves it problems but seen as not a necessity in West.
Never use River. You have been warned
Why not?
@@kevinnnnn702 I had a bad experience using them. I opened an account, bought some bitcoin, attempted to withdraw said bit oun to cold storage, went through the ID verification process 2 times succesfully and came home one day to find they closed my account and refused to offer an explanation as to why. Told me to refer to the TOS agreement, which I did, and my account was not in violation of anything that I could see. Im pretty sure that They closed it because during the process of ID verification I got frustrated and told them FTX had better customer service and Will H vot butt urt and decided to unilaterally close the account. They actually did me a favor by though by returning all if my initial deposit and I was able to buy at a lower price. Bottom line they came off to me as a shit company to deal with, no better than some cable tv subscription service. Have a good day

Sir, please, take some public speaking courses. You were extremely difficult to listen to.
