    –“Ukraine’s National Police have arrested several suspects who were illegally producing bitcoins at a recreation center of a Ukrainian state institute, according to newly released court documents.

    Police found that 200 computers had been set up in an unused swimming pool at the Paton Electric Welding Institute’s recreation center to generate bitcoins, the world’s most popular digital money.

    The investigation became public on Aug. 8 after Kyiv’s Sviatoshinsky District Court published a court decision in the state register of court rulings. In it, the court claims the production of the bitcoins was being carried out illegally, violating several Ukrainian laws.

    Police tracked down the allegedly illegal bitcoin producer with the help of an SBU security service agent, who “found out the exact location of illegal hardware that was secretly generating digital money, which was later used via payment systems that are unauthorized in Ukraine.”

    The court claims the suspects had no rights to use the state premises – a swimming pool. They also breached the Law on the National Bank of Ukraine by emitting “substitute money” and forging documents to launder it. Under the law, only the central bank can issue currency in Ukraine.

    According to the Law on the National Bank, there is only one national currency, the hryvnia, and no other currency or substitute currency can be issued or used as a form of payment in Ukraine. The law does not specify what a “substitute currency” is, however.

    Neither are there any laws in Ukraine that regulate virtual currencies. The National Bank of Ukraine, however, has frowned at cryptocurrencies, dubbing them “a substitute for real money.”

    Nevertheless, as there is no official restriction on the use of cryptocurrencies, some Ukrainian companies now accept bitcoins as payment.

    The value of one bitcoin today is $3,300 (Hr 85,000).”—

    AGAINST HIGGS ON ANTI MINARCHISM

    WHEREAS

    The common natural law of reciprocity, adjudicated by professional judges, constitutes a market for the resolution of differences using the incremental discovery of the application of the test of reciprocity. To argue for poly-anything law is not to argue for scientific (reciprocity) law, but to argue for FALSE AND scientifically (objectively) IMMORAL LAW. (Yes, really)

    WHEREAS

    No group, under rule of law, can compete in the market for polities, which themselves constitute a market for markets, without the production of commons. The question is only the method by which commons are chosen and produced, and the method by which parasitism(privatization) of, and free riding upon those commons is prevented. While majoritarian democracy constitutes a MONOPOLY production of commons, which is unnecessary and the source of our conflicts; And while it is not clear that democracy is a good method of decision making for the production of commons; and while it s certain that representative democracy is disaster in the production of commons, it is not true – whatsoever – that direct democracy limited by rule of law, where votes are proportional(economic) or equal(shareholder), would be any less effective, than monarchical (private ownership of the commons) government. In fact, it is very hard to make the case that monarchical decision making limited by rule of law, was not and would not be superior to democratic decision making – as long as the polities were small enough (city states) such that individual discretion (decision making) on the production of commons was physically possible (by direct and empirical experience.)

    FURTHERMORE

    No group, under rule of law, under markets for commons, can defend itself from competition for territory, and monopoly definition of property rights, and

    No group, under rule of law, can resolve conflicts without a judge of last resort (monarchy or oligarchy).

    No group, under rule of law, can produce commons without a judge of last resort (monarchy or oligarchy)

    THEREFORE

    This is why libertarianism cannot exist, and never will exist, and only NOMOCRACY can, ever, exist.

    WE HAD PERFECT GOVERNMENT:

    An independent judiciary under the common, natural law of reciprocity.

    A monarchy as judge of last resort (veto)

    A House of Territories (Nobility) Limiting the fashion of the middle class.

    A House of Business Owners (House of Commons)

    The Church (A house of labor and dependents) which should have been replaced with:

    A House of Common People (non-propertied and dependent peoples)

    An Independent (private) treasury.

    A separate set of institutions for education in virtues, mindfulness, normative skills (Church) and Academy

    A separate set of institutions for education in commercial skills (Apprenticeships, Guilds, “Colleges”.)

    By this method we created “Markets In Everything”. Association, Cooperation, Reproduction, Production of goods, services, and information, Production of Commons, Production of Polities, and Production of Group Evolutionary Strategies.

    Libertarianism was a nonsense experiment in applying the eastern european borderland Ashkenazi (Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Russian) diasporic ethic as a universal ethic, but it is nothing but judaism version two, just as Postmodernism is nothing but Catholicism version two. And we know how diasporic peoples do: Jews and Gypsies. They are persecuted forever as hostile minorities at both ends of the normative scale.

    Neither Christianity nor Judaism are possible without the Martial aristocracy to rule. They are nothing but cults of rebellion whereby the middle and lower classes try to avoid the necessary costs of production the market for commons.

    There is a reason northern europeans and americans were high trust people and literally NO ONE ELSE ON EARTH ever was other than perhaps the spartans.

    MAN WAS NOT OPPRESSED HE WAS DOMESTICATED LIKE EVERY OTHER ANIMAL.

    Time to grow up, kiddies. Sovereignty is had or not by the ability to enforce it by arms. But liberty is had only by permission of the sovereign. And the sovereign have no incentive to grant it other than to borderlands – and there are no borderlands left that are habitable.

    Sovereignty or slavery.

    Choose.

  • I like goldmoney myself, and I feel better that it’s on the channel islands, but

    I like goldmoney myself, and I feel better that it’s on the channel islands, but it is a physical asset that can be ‘taken’.

    The virtue of a purely digital fractional token money substitute (cryptocurrency), is that you can’t fuck with it without destroying it.

    So I would treat them as separate tools. I like buying fractional shares of gold. Especially if enough people can buy into it. I like it very, very much. I like a pure fractional share of a network (fractional shares used as token money substitutes), for monetary purposes. I like digital titles (blockchain titles). I like fractional shares in businesses traded on fractional share markets.

    So I love the concept of digital fractional shares in general.

    The problem is that the technology is simply not there yet – and when it IS there I am not sure how it’s going to be different than parallel transactional databases with independent ‘shareholders’ holding each of those databases, and requiring reciprocal keys to record a transaction.

    So I think most of this tech is replaced when someone with enough money to put that infrastructure into place (banks or states) does that instead, and because of that, banks and states function as insurers of last resort.

    I am actually kind of surprised that the obvious parties have not suggested this solution already (ibm / oracle). I suspect that the reason they don’t, is that their major clients are financial institutions.

    the crypto market, especially if (a) there are no more big thefts, and (b) some of the tech problems are solved, (c) will continue to grow. It’s not a matter of whether it will grow now. It’s a matter of whether 1) bitcoin will be replaced, or 2) the government takes it over or hyper regulates it, 3) or regulates it into a crash. I can promise you that it will be regulated. I can almost promise you that the govt will resort to some sort of BTC like currency at some point in the future because it’s simply too cheap and information-producing compared to paper and credit fiat money. And so for the near term I would consider it a short term speculative investment opportunity if bought on the dips AND if you are keeping track of competitors that solve the technological problems – including proof of work, zeroing at a certain market value/accumulating fragment-values, and archiving (cataloging) chains.
