In times of digital currencies. Do you see them coming? Doubt what you see. Not everything is what it seems. Yesterday, I was in the capital city of my country in the afternoon to look for a parcel. Vehicle traffic is now (extremely) low compared to the usual congestion of years ago. However, a traffic jam on a short stretch of the city's main highway slowed us down. Curious drivers slow down to see a store and the residential building still smoldering from the previous…

What do you value more, transparency or privacy? How convenient is it to be anonymous? I always wondered why secrecy is an essential attribute for the exercise of democracy when transparency is a crucial element to avoid corruption. Yes, at least in the modern Western tradition, the idea that democracy is the best system of government has been sold. You will have heard the motto that characterizes it: The government of the people. At least it sounds very inclusive by giving…

Who will decide on the truth? What is the truth? **Did you hear about the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity?** Well, I did some skim reading early last year, but honestly didn't give it much thought at the time. The saying goes, "He who knows not is as he who sees not." But now, it made sense to me when I came across information again about this Microsoft-driven initiative. How did I not see it coming? **Source:** Image by **Gerd Altmann** on **Pixabay**…

Why is Bitcoin Cash out of the headlines? Thinking outside Sandbox It is surprising to see how the mainstream headlines and the respective (critical) replies or alternative interpretations from the other side ride right on top of the previous ones, in full excitement in public opinion as to if they were waves breaking in front of one's feet. I suspect that this dynamic obeys a strategy at the service of an agenda where entertaining people through supposedly important events…

Can governments limit or regulate the use of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin Cash? How far are you willing to allow? The question will sound rhetorical to those who are clear on the fundamental purpose of Satoshi Nakamoto's creation. Unfortunately, however, most people do not know or understand how disruptive and liberating the mass adoption of **Bitcoin** can be. Even worse, some are already in the cryptocurrency market and don't even care about the ultimate purpose of the…

Preparing my minimalist writer's setup: Computer Technology. Evaluating and testing Six months ago, I wrote an article about the need to acquire a backup computer if my trusty MacBook Air 13 Mid 2011 should fail. In this way, I could guarantee that I would continue writing on the platforms I use, especially read.cash and noise.cash. Time definitely flies by without realizing it, and to be honest, I still work on the Mac. Although, I am aware that it is already obsolete and…

Will bitcoin be a Trojan horse? On this occasion, I will write a short article on an issue, although not novel, if current. Somebody blockchain technology enthusiast could tell us that he has clarity on the matter, but no one has total certainty, much less the absolute truth. Some doubt, with good reason, about the real purpose behind the statement made in the **Bitcoin** White Paper; Indeed, the anonymity behind Satoshi Nakamoto's pseudonym inspires much suspicion. **Could…

What makes Bitcoin Cash unique? BCH in the headlines Today, as usual! I checked my read.cash feed, looking for interesting articles. I found the BCH Weekly News #68 by @SatoshisAngels with the latest news on **Bitcoin Cash**. https://read.cash/@SatoshisAngels/bch-weekly-news-68-feb-21-2022-47a19dc7 I am very attentive to this periodic publication as it allows me to follow the development of significant activities in the **Bitcoin Cash** community. **Source:** Image by…

Remarks on the fear of an uncertain tomorrow Be thankful to be alive today. Tomorrow, we don't know. Yesterday, I saw my daughter's anguish and tears, as she is still far from meeting her goals, and therefore, it will affect the remuneration for March. I wanted to comfort and encourage her, and she reacted by telling me that she appreciated the gesture and the good intention but that I should understand that she needed to drain the emotion and that it did not help her.…
