"A New Beginning"

“New Society”

Like Mr. Palihapitiya said, and I think that he is right, “We are creating the tools that could be ripping apart our society”.

We are not value the real presence with other persons in real lives, like drink a beer or a coke in a nice place with a beautiful view, front of the sea, or visiting a museum with our girlfriend or with some friends, because we are living in front of our scanner and we have only worries about if they put me a like on my post or not.

We only want to know if we have received more tokens or less tokens. And we are not control anymore, in my opinion, our lives. Why? Because we are addicted to those social media tools (v.g. facebook, Instagram, whatsapp, etc.) .And this social media tools, could manipulate our lives, and this is a global problem.

We are living on the world of the internet/things, meaning IP world, and I think that there are about 4 B IP addresses in the entire world and we have 7 B people on the planet. It means that everything has an address, including you.

Do you imagine that smart phone are real smart, and maybe more smart than you? Is this pretty frightening or not?

And money is no longer money is only digits like bitcoin. And believe me that in my opinion bitcoin is not necessary bad. But we must be wise and prudent in order to use cryptocurrencies in a good way.

Next twenty years the robotic and the artificial intelligence will lead the elimination of two billion jobs, meaning half of the world jobs. Imagine this scenario shows the big effects of the technology.

People are trading freedom for security and I probably understand that, and I also understand that technology is not evil is what people are doing with technology.

The 4th stage of the Industrial Revolution (Information Society) is happening now, and we must be knowledge of those implications, effects and consequences.

Therefore, we must think about this because God gave us freewill and this freewill is stipulated in The Universal Declaration of The Human Rights. So, lets think about this and how we can change it for a better society.

We are living in a New World Order

I believe that there is truth in what has been said but the scenario will be much more dramatic in a world in which power remains centralized, a world that continues to work with traditional money that reduces all value to a single increasingly speculative dimension. The truth is that digital technologies work like "anabolic steroids that feed the beast" and the best solution, in my opinion, is the decentralization made possible by blockchain technology. However, such decentralization is only effective with the free creation of tokens that, preferably in a meritocratic way, encourage the establishment of consensus.
This consensus is necessary in order for people to trust each other according to certain convenient protocols that work with algorithms.
These algorithms operate tokens that can allow the transfer of value between people in many productive dimensions unlike the previous single dimension of money.
Now we can free ourselves from the organizational yoke of intermediaries that always entail agency costs.
