    #The Interdimensionalmeme Manifesto

    An indictment of privatized power and the crypto-financial techno-cult “There is no escape. There is not another Earth to escape to.”

    #I. On Governance and the Role of Money

    A functioning society must distinguish between governance and capital — between the stewardship of the public and the motives of profit. When these become one and the same, democracy dies not with a bang, but in the language of venture capital decks and algorithmic markets.

    Currency is not simply a medium of exchange; it is a public trust, the circulatory system of a body politic. To surrender its issuance and control to private, unaccountable interests — be they corporations, anonymous developers, or speculative early adopters — is to strip society of one of its last remaining instruments of collective sovereignty.

    Crypto is not a revolution. It is a coup d’état in slow motion.

    #II. The False Gospel of Decentralization

    Decentralization is the sacred chant of the blockchain faithful — but what is decentralized is not necessarily democratized. To spread control across nodes and servers does not spread justice, responsibility, or empathy.

    Cryptocurrency is not neutral. Its very structure rewards the earliest, richest, most computationally resourced — and calls this “fairness.” It buries inequality in the code itself, hiding plutocracy under the banner of “consensus.”

    The crypto evangelist, addicted to speculative gains, becomes a missionary of self-interest. The chain-letter economics of this new digital order create converts not by vision, but by the promise of unearned value and imagined escape. III. The Corporate-State Convergence

    Yes, governments are compromised. They have been infiltrated by the dollar, bought by the lobbyist, colonized by the corporation. But the answer to corrupted governance is not to abolish governance — it is to reclaim it.

    Crypto offers no resistance to this convergence. It accelerates it. It hands over power from flawed but at least nominally public institutions to venture-backed technocrats, data merchants, and ideological profiteers.

    To abandon the state without building democratic alternatives is not liberation, it is abdication.

    #IV. The MLM of the Modern Age

    Like all pyramid schemes, the promise of crypto lies not in what it is, but in what it might become — if others believe, if others buy in, if others come after you.

    The blockchain isn’t a chain of freedom. It is a ledger of dreams sold and lives ruined, a speculative suicide pact dressed in libertarian robes. It is the digital cousin of the payday loan, the unregulated casino at the end of capitalism.

    And yet the faithful continue to preach, because their salvation depends on your belief. The higher the adoption, the higher the price. The higher the price, the closer they are to an exit.

    #V. There Is No Outside

    The dream of “opting out”, of escaping fiat, taxes, nations, systems, is not just naive, it is delusional. There is no “outside” to the world we have made. The consequences of economic systems ripple globally, shaping policy, resource extraction, and ecological collapse alike.

    Those who seek exile in crypto-fortresses or digital bunkers are not building freedom. They are seceding from solidarity, retreating into nihilistic techno-feudalism.

    There is no Earth 2.0. There is no safe haven from collapse when collapse is a planetary system failure.

    #VI. The Call

    We do not reject innovation. We reject the perversion of innovation into a religion of capital accumulation and anti-social escape.

    We do not romanticize the state. We demand a democratized public, a radically transparent and accountable governance, shielded from the ever-expanding reach of the market.

    We do not reject decentralization. We reject decentralized despotism, where opaque code replaces public law, and anonymous whales replace accountable representatives.

    We do not fear the future. We fear a future owned, not governed, by the architects of financial abstraction and speculative cruelty.

    We do not need new currencies. We need new values.

    “The people who have infected the body-politic with their narcissistic nihilism, their hopeless, futureless nightmare of a life… have been allowed to fester in the name of freedom.”

    Let the festering end.

    Let us build systems worthy of the future, not just profitable in the present.

    Let us not be fooled again.

      This is delusional. The real solution is money that cannot be corrupted by some politician’s or banker’s decree.

      Open source technology and cryptography gives us this ability. Now the playing field is leveled, ordinary people can hold and transact real value without some crook reaching into their pocket.

        Money has no intrinsic value, it’s a dynamic relation between all other humans who would accept it. Even a gold bar will vary in what it can really buy based on the health of the society around you. And that’s just transaction, which is not where wealth is. Land and physical property, and the ability to leverage their use is the mediator of wealth. The people without, will never ever be on a level playing field. How can you be born owing your life to infinite rent and interest and think you’re on a level playing field ? You reach for this utopia, thinking this time you’ll be the one collecting ? This time you can be the landlord without having to pay taxes. But at the end of the day, if the people around you are miserable, are you better off ?

        And all of that is assuming it even would work as advertised, which it won’t, nobody is waiting 10 minute to clear a payment.

        This technology is a scam sold by the people trying to shit-up everything so that they can get their best pick out of the rubble.

          Money is a tool to store energy and use it at a desired time. Fiat is a banker scam which steals from everyone and funnels profits to the elites. The reason for so meany people’s misery is the current system, it is designed to siphon everyone’s productivity without anyone noticing. Only highly intelligent and aware people can see this scam. Most think this system is designed to help them when the opposite is true and all objective metrics show it.

          You have no understanding of the technology. Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin and it has instant secure transactions there is no need to wait for any clearing.

          I was telling people about Bitcoin back in 2011 and most of them laughed, now I am telling people about Bitcoin Cash and some still laugh, but they will not be laughing for long.

          Now you have some knowledge which 99.99% of the population will be wishing they were informed about in 5 years from now. If you have a half a gram of humility you will do some research into Bitcoin Cash and then load up on some. 😉
