Cryptocurrencies from an Overall Perspective

I find myself often wondering about things moving in the world. Mass Psychology. Overall tension. Quiet governments. Everyone must feel it, yet it isn't something one can necessarily verbalize with much ease. Something is in the air. Do you feel it, too? That something is Cryptocurrency, a form of electronic currency centered on blockchain technology. To anyone who clicked on this article expecting conspiracy hell, welcome, O ye of little faith. Since most everyone here took the time to search the key terms necessary to locate and read this article. An at-length explanation shouldn't be necessary (hopefully). Most people don't care at all about any of it, they haven't taken the time to educate themselves. They should, though. They really should. And not just from a financial perspective. Let's get to the nitty-gritty, shall we?

The Ethereum blockchain is most likely a product of the Anonymous Collective, designed to regain freedom for the average human. Freedom from who?

Now that we've introduced our topic and I sound absolutely insane, we proceed to take a more analytical approach to piecing together my observations, using evidence.

China
Everyone has heard of the Chinese Government cracking down on currencies, I assume. This is also happening in Venezuela where miners are being raided and arrested along with having their equipment confiscated. (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/big-in-venezuela/534177/)
There are several Governments from different countries enforcing their own bans, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Ecuador, Thailand, and Vietnam, to name a few. (https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com). Why?

Ross Ulbricht and the Silk Road Shutdown
Ross Ulbricht, the creator and administrator of the Bitcoin drug exchange, Silk Road was sentenced to double life, without parole. At his sentencing, his judge stated, "If you break the law this way, there will be very serious consequences". The largest dealer on Silk Road received a ten year sentence. The largest cocaine and heroine dealer received five years. The two corrupt agents who had admin access to Silk Road, which includes being able to edit, delete, and add material to the platform, as well as one million stolen dollars were sentenced to six and seven years.

What did Ross Ulbricht do?

He created a much safer direct platform for drug users to buy their supply through the mail. Meaning, less drug violence, less 'plugs' out looking for someone who robbed them, etc.
Why did he receive double life?
Because he utilized an 'anonymous, decentralized'- aka- government-free service. He removed the government's currency from the equation.

Government, huh.

Anonymous, decentralized... The words are reminiscent of a certain collective that exposes government agents, exposes corruption in governments, hacks and exposes child-pornography websites, hacks ISIS, and demands one thing.

That everyone be allowed their freedom. No central governance. No oppression. No 'leader'. The people decide together. Decentralized, as a collective.

Why would the government crack down on them?

This came to me one night out of sheer revelation. It was a mind-blowing epiphany. As Ashton Kutcher said, "The bigger thing with Bitcoin is not bitcoin itself, but what does that decentralized technology really do?"

What does it do?

Did you know that the internet as an entity requires each and every web domain created to be registered with ICAAN? Search ICAAN, you'll find a lack of details. Who and what is it, and why do they monopolize the internet?
Have you ever asked yourself, what if the Government just decided to shut off our electricity and cell towers and do something crazy like declare martial law, one day? Well, then there would be no internet, no form of communication between citizens, no hope.

Ethereum changes that.

ICO's, Cryptocurrency equivalents of IPO's in the stock market, designed mainly from Ethereum's blockchain provide so many different things.

Things like anonymous, decentralized internet. Things like cloud servers for hosting that are energy efficient in remote locations with proprietary cooling technology. Things like Hydrominer (look it up). Things like portable energy. Portable solar energy. Solar. Not connected to the 'lines'. Energy trading is becoming a big buzz, as well.

Decentralized. Disconnected from Government control.

Cryptocurrency is not just a currency, or innovation. It's a vehicle of freedom. A weapon. Anonymous, Decentralized, Collective.

I might be putting myself at risk writing this, who knows what could happen. I do know, that I wouldn't let anything or anyone harm my family. That's really all. All else remains to be seen. Writing this was worth it.
