The Manifestation of the Whitepaper – Satoshi Sets the Standards

The spectacular adoption Bitcoin enjoyed immediately after its launch quickly halted with a peculiar compromise. Bitcoin (BTC) was not allowed to scale.

While Satoshi created Bitcoin as a decentralized form of digital cash, within the years, one team assumed control of developments, effectively ousting the part of the community focused on global adoption.

  (Twitter)  

The BTC version of Bitcoin proceeds antithetical to the Whitepaper, with a rather obscure promotional narrative of Store of Value.

An SoV, without means of exchange properties, but sidechains that will supposedly solve the development stagnation and indecision to proceed with scaling.

Anyway, we look at it, the decision to sustain the block size at a low level only justifies the personal interests of this group of developers that rally behind the for-profit private company, Blockstream (an AXA, Mastercard, iFinex sponsored company).

With the Whitepaper, Bitcoin sets the standards for a whole decentralized economy for global commerce.

Blockstream stalled developments, stagnated scalability of the blockchain, and its approach only allowed the Central Banks to catch up and develop new financial authoritarian tools dubbed CBDCs.

In The Whitepaper We Trust

(The Whitepaper)

With the whitepaper, Satoshi Nakamoto presented a payments network we have never seen before.

The nightmare for Blockstream that cancels all of its narratives is that Bitcoin works efficiently, as Bitcoin Cash demonstrates.

In case anyone is still wondering why Blockstream operates a vast anti-BCH campaign online, there’s one reason alone. Bitcoin Cash works and illustrates the falsehood of Blockstream’s narratives.

Until Bitcoin, no money network outside the banking system could survive. There had been numerous attempts before, but all ended with law enforcement seizing the website and shutting down centralized servers.

Satoshi Nakamoto solved that with a decentralized P2P Blockchain network.

Commerce (with banking e-commerce and POS) contains inherent issues, with several trusted third parties intervening to process, authorize, and execute a transaction.

The cost of a single electronic transaction becomes vast, and bank fees will only keep rising.

An unnecessary industry of payment processors, transactional security, and enforcement increasing the cost and prices of goods and services for decades becomes obsolete.

Satoshi Nakamoto, with Bitcoin, effectively described a solution, rendering this industry of trusted third parties obsolete. A payments industry preying on customers and merchants for decades is now useless.

Satoshi Nakamoto fixed the inefficiencies of commerce.

In 2008, the governments used taxpayers’ money with bailouts after bailouts to save the failing banks from bankruptcy.

No banker ever paid for their mistakes. They were part of the elite; they failed massively and still are part of the same elite.

An elite of failures, that established its success on taxpayer money and law-controlling practices.

The taxpayers, the people, paid for their mistakes and ignorance.

Satoshi Nakamoto created an economic revolution.

Yet, when a revolution is not working for the people, it becomes a false revolution.

Bitcoin, in its BTC version, transformed from a powerful form of money that empowered all persons into a speculative asset for a small greedy elite.

BTC is an oligarchy, controlled by a small team of developers, a system that serves nobody besides the BTC whales.

Bitcoin Cash proceeds in the direction Satoshi sets with the Whitepaper.

(bitcointalk, 2010)

Any way we look at it, the whitepaper describes Bitcoin Cash, not BTC, which clearly is the version that deviated from the target.

What is this target?

The target is taking a share from the bank cartel, the bank cards, and the banking e-commerce monopoly and proving an alternative decentralized money network works better.

A small cap on blocksize as a temporary measure against spam became a permanent issue that stalled Bitcoin’s exponential adoption.

In Conclusion

Hype is ephemeral. Bitcoin (BTC) creates tsunamis of hype and speculation, but we definitely can’t call them adoption.

A requisite for adoption is to use Bitcoin as a means of exchange.

Yet BTC only attracts investors or users of custodian LN solutions regarding its sidechain.

Only by using Bitcoin will Bitcoin fulfill its destiny.

Regardless, the small team in control of Bitcoin developments decided (years ago) it should never scale and will never fulfill its destiny as P2P Electronic Cash.

Bitcoin Cash is what Bitcoin was supposed to be before Blockstream stagnated its vision.

If anyone is still wondering, Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin.

As fiercely as the establishment was fighting Bitcoin until 2013, it opposes Bitcoin Cash today, as Bitcoin Cash is the immediate competitor to the legacy financial establishment.

Progress and adoption of P2P Electronic Cash is the inevitable endgame.

  • Vitalik: Ethereum Foundation is Not the Central Manager of the ETH Ecosystem, Future Development Will Shift to 'Small and Long-term' Approach

    On May 25, Ethereum founder Vitalik shared his views on the future development direction of the Ethereum Foundation in a post on the X platform. He emphasized that this is just his personal opinion. The board does not consist solely of him, and he does not have more special powers than other board members. Aya Miyaguchi is leading most of the execution work for this transformation, while his own involvement is more focused on technical issues. The board is currently expanding, and his influence within the organization will continue to decline in the future, which, frankly, is what he hopes to see. By 2025, the Ethereum Foundation has made significant improvements in its execution capabilities. Many issues have been resolved, and the foundation continues to benefit from greater efficiency and a stronger focus on specific goals. However, as these issues were addressed, he began to care more about another concern: he often sees people saying, 'Vitalik has always talked about Ethereum needing to be decentralized, having privacy, and becoming a shelter technology, but why do the actions of the Ethereum Foundation not reflect these ideals?' Of course, there are those who hold completely different views. Some do not feel there is a crisis at all, but rather believe that the Ethereum Foundation has finally begun to take execution and business development seriously, and the next focus should be to continue along this path faster and stronger. Vitalik believes that this difference essentially reflects varying sensitivities to different types of criticism, and he is more easily hurt by criticisms regarding deviations from values. Vitalik stated that the Ethereum Foundation should not be 'the center of Ethereum,' but rather 'a node with clear responsibilities, existing alongside other nodes.' In the past, they have always said this, but many people in the ecosystem, including some within the foundation, hoped the foundation would become a true center. Now, they are taking concrete actions to ensure the foundation becomes the latter. This is particularly important because the Ethereum Foundation is essentially a resource-limited and organizationally limited entity. The foundation currently holds only about 0.16% of all ETH, which is even lower than many large ETH holders; whereas many other blockchain projects' 'central foundations' typically control 10%-50% of their tokens. The current Ethereum Foundation has decided to use its remaining resources to pursue 'long-term viability' rather than continuous expansion (which also means they will sell less ETH). The foundation will focus on those things that are crucial for Ethereum to become a censorship-resistant, control-resistant, open, private, and secure system, but that no one else would do if the foundation does not. This means they must make difficult choices. Some projects and individuals they highly respect may no longer belong to the foundation's system in the future. In fact, if they want important tasks to attract external capital, it may be necessary to keep some talented individuals, influential public figures, and those who share the mission and CROPS philosophy outside the foundation. This also means that the Ethereum Foundation will take a clearer and more principled stance on a cultural level.
