Bitcoin र अरब वसन्त: क्रान्तिकारी संचारका लागि पाठ
Bitcoin is a Monetary Revolution
Bitcoin is not simply a new monetary tool, a new currency, or an additional asset class. I tell people that Bitcoin is a Monetary Revolution. The Bitcoin eco-system is full of innovations to bring value beyond simply price growth to new all-time-highs. You can say that the value proposition is built on the foundations of the ever-expanding benefits of the wonder-currency.
After my failed attempt to first invest in Bitcoin २००२ को सुरूमा, I found myself traveling and working in the Middle East, and Egypt in particular, later that year. Inadvertently, the events of the अरब वसन्त in the region showed me how today the Social Layer of Bitcoin can be a powerful tool supporting Bitcoin ग्रहण
2010 विगतका वर्षहरूमा मैले यस क्षेत्रमा गरेको धेरै भ्रमणहरूको परिणति थियो जसले मलाई इजिप्टमा साथीहरू र सहकर्मीहरूको ठूलो समूह जम्मा गर्न अनुमति दियो। इजिप्ट एक विशाल प्रभावशाली देश हो जुन एक भव्य राजधानी होस्ट गर्दछ। कायरो विश्वको पहिलो साँच्चै अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय महानगर हो। कुनै न कुनै रूपमा यसको पुरातन चमत्कारहरूले शहरको बहुराष्ट्रिय र बहुसांस्कृतिक मिश्रणलाई लुकाउँछ। यो एक वित्तीय हब हो, मानिसहरू अद्भुत, मैत्री, र विचारहरूको लागि खुला छन्। यो विश्वको पहिलो पग्लने भाँडो हो, जुन हजारौं वर्ष पहिले न्यूयोर्क सहरले यो वाक्यांश सिर्जना गर्नु अघि स्थापित भएको थियो। मैले काइरोमा सबैभन्दा स्वादिष्ट सुशी रेस्टुरेन्टहरू फेला पारे, अलेक्जान्ड्रिया समुन्द्र किनारबाट ल्याइएका नाइल नदीको किनारमा सबैभन्दा राम्रो आम र ताजा माछा।
Unfortunately, underlying the ancient wonders there existed issues of poverty, political unease, and the impact from regional tensions. I was told that around 1/3rd of the population of Cairo’s approximately 20 million people had trouble feeding themselves daily. Bribes to public servants, while prevalent, were not really the wicked administrative corruption found in the Western world but occurred as a survival mechanism to enable people to simply earn enough money for their daily necessities. The brewing pot of concerns in Egypt and the region ignited the Arab Spring in late 2010 and early 2011.
सामाजिक मिडिया र सामाजिक तहको भूमिका
जब हामी यसको बारेमा कुरा गर्छौं Bitcoin adoption, we talk about expanding the understanding and knowledge of people. The Bitcoin eco-system is filled with start-ups offering both free and paid services to help the broader public become knowledgeable and comfortable enough to adopt it. Not only is understanding important, the ability for current users to interact and communicate among themselves with clarity and no noise is also vital.
साथ जस्तै Bitcoin adoption and the need for a supporting communication framework through the Social Layer, the role of Social Media was equally important in contributing to the events of the Arab Spring. विकिपीडिया stated that “In the wake of the Arab Spring protests, a considerable amount of attention focused on the role of social media and digital technologies in allowing citizens within areas affected by ‘the Arab Uprisings’ as a means for collective activism to circumvent state-operated media channels.”
2010 मा फेसबुक विभिन्न शीर्षकहरूमा अर्ध-शोर-रहित संचार गर्न र समान विचारधारा समूहहरूसँग जडान गर्ने प्रयासको लागि जाने प्लेटफर्म थियो। यो व्हाट्सएप र ट्याङ्गोको मनपर्ने द्वारा समर्थित फराकिलो सामाजिक तहलाई एङ्कर गर्ने आयोजन उपकरण थियो, जुन त्यस समयमा मध्य पूर्वमा मुख्य प्रयोग गरिएको च्याट एप थियो र मेकानिज्म, प्रत्यक्ष पुरानो शैलीको फोन कलहरू सहित, जुन म। मेरा इजिप्टियन साथीहरू र सहकर्मीहरूसँग सम्पर्कमा रहन्थे।
मुहानशोर र सामाजिक तह
We all know about and have experienced email spam, fake accounts on various social media portals, and comments from influencers that are masked self-promotions. In the Bitcoin world, we often attribute such noise to the crypto-sphere with the all-to-often “free coin giveaway” promotions.
Noise, or white noise as was written about in the novel titled “सेतो शोर” by Don DeLillo in 1985 that won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction, has haunted Bitcoiners for over a decade. This noise equally impaired efforts during the Arab Spring in allowing clear communication between people. It continues to impair Bitcoiners like myself today, if perhaps under less ominous circumstances.
A social experience or movement can only become an effective Social Layer when noise is lessened. Reducing or removing noise enables development of a usable and supportive Social Layer for Bitcoin.
को लागि पाठ Bitcoiners
अरब वसन्तका दिनहरूमा, यस क्षेत्रका मुख्यधाराका सञ्चारमाध्यमहरूका रिपोर्टहरू उच्च प्रश्नमा परेका थिए। यस क्षेत्रले विभिन्न केबल-आधारित समाचार सेवाहरूलाई विश्वास गरेन। यसले विचार, विचार र योजनाहरू सञ्चार र साझेदारी गर्ने संयन्त्रको रूपमा सामाजिक तहको भूमिकालाई बलियो बनायो। मेरो लागि, मैले घटनाहरू र मेरा साथीहरूको सुरक्षाको बारेमा अपडेट राख्न अक्सर व्यर्थ प्रयास गरें। यद्यपि, समाचार स्रोतहरू अस्पष्ट थिए, प्रायः विवादास्पद र पक्षपाती थिए। मैले यो सबै नुनको दानाको साथ लिएँ र सिधै जमिनमा स्रोतहरूमा जानुपर्यो, जसको अर्थ ट्याङ्गो मार्फत मेरा साथीहरूसँग कुराकानी, फेसबुक समूहहरू पछ्याउँदै र पुरानो शैलीको फोन कलहरू मार्फत।
Like the noise I experience today when trying to understand and sort through information that is valuable and factual regarding Bitcoin, I experienced the same noise dilemma during the Arab Spring events.
Today I am frustrated when I read a report or see a Tweet commenting on the price of Bitcoin based on some influencer’s supposed “expertise”, only to then find over the next few weeks that Bitcoin rallies to a near-term high. I recall one specific Tweet, just as when Bitcoin hit its recent cycle low, saying that “we should all expect it to hit $10,000.” I am not a trader of Bitcoin but get upset when this type of noise is spread. I also get irritated when I am contacted by someone implying that they are a Bitcoiner only to find out that they just want to connect within the realm of the dating-world and don’t even know how to spell hodl. Back during the Arab Spring, I was equally frustrated when phone calls to colleagues dropped unexpectedly, messages via Tango were cryptic and the Facebook accounts of friends were blocked. With frustration the questions I sent were often unanswered: “Was that you on TV at the march?” “Is your area of Cairo blocked off?”
While today I can say that noise in the Bitcoin world is more of an unreasonable annoyance, to my friends in Egypt noise was a matter of personal well-being or even life-and-death. Social Media then was the means for mobilization and action, a Social Layer. Today the Social Layer of Bitcoin is the mechanism for pursuing further adoption. We are all certainly irritated today when some social media giants block or restrict accounts that discuss Bitcoin. However, can you imagine what it felt like to my Egyptian friends back in 2011 when they could not access their perceived noise-free gateways to understand what their future would hold?
मौद्रिक क्रान्तिले सामाजिक तहको क्रान्तिलाई भेट्छ
I have experienced that “Noise” is the adversary of freedom. It impaired my Egyptian friends from effectively supporting their desired national transformation. It also impairs my support for Bitcoin and its Monetary Revolution. A strong Social Layer provides feeling, context and motivation. Just as I felt the angst of my friends day-to-day as they experienced the uncertainties of the Arab Spring, I feel disappointment when I seek to find rigorous and valuable connections in the Bitcoin space that only result in wasted time and false relations. From my first investment in Bitcoin I have supported the development of its echo-system and simultaneously support the role-out of a deep Social Layer so that there can be Less Noise but More Signal.
What I have learned from my experience is that the Social Layer of Bitcoin is creating a Social Revolution for the asset. We need to disrupt old modes of communication to assure and protect the ability for real human interaction among Bitcoiners that is not impaired by noise. I don’t want to have my life’s Bitcoin connections held ransom to the whims of whom I meet only randomly. I am taking the seeds of what I learned from the time during the Arab Spring and planting them today in Bitcoin’s Social Layer. Stronger relationships will help to build a stronger Bitcoin.
