I can't sleep and this whole thing just hit me like a brick!!!!
I think I cracked the meaning of ix.
Think about this: Russia recently stated that Bitcoin is secretly the new Currency of the U.S. I too have be saying this since 2013.
Now, I doubt Russia and China are lacking in spies and I doubt this news would come after a guy like me realizes it so they must have known for years.
This begs the question: Where is Russia's Coin? Where is China's?
Sure they can launch one now but any great coin has to be field tested in the wild for years, just like Bitcoin.
And it has to be, preferably, a secret, until the last moment to ensure quicker mass adoption and "proper" distribution.
So I searched the meaning of IX and how it relates in Russian, Chinese [and Japanese] history and culture.
In Japanese ix [or 9] sounds like "Pain" so the Japanese would never use ix.
So Thomas is clearly not Japanese. Sorry Thomas, I really do like you, regardless.
In Russian, I found no Significant historical or cultural meanings.
But in Chinese: Oh Shit, I think I cracked the code of IX, [you bastards].....lol
Get a load of this and tell me if there is any doubt, and why for 4 years we can never get a straight answer to why IX was chosen:
Chinese culture
IX - Nine (九 pinyin jiǔ) is considered a good number in Chinese culture because it sounds the same as the word "longlasting" (久 pinyin jiǔ).
Nine is strongly associated with the Chinese dragon, a symbol of magic and power. There are nine forms of the dragon, it is described in terms of nine attributes, and it has nine children. It has 117 scales - 81 yang (masculine, heavenly) and 36 yin (feminine, earthly). All three numbers are multiples of 9 (9×13=117, 9×9=81, 9×4=36)[1] as well as having the same digital root of 9.
The dragon often symbolizes the Emperor, and the number nine can be found in many ornaments in the Forbidden City.
The circular altar platform (Earthly Mount) of the Temple of Heaven has one circular marble plate in the center, surrounded by a ring of nine plates, then by a ring of 18 plates, and so on, for a total of nine rings, with the outermost having 81=9×9 plates.
The name of the area called Kowloon in Hong Kong literally means: nine dragons.
The nine-dotted line (Chinese: 南海九段线; pinyin: nánhǎi jiǔduàn xiàn; literally: "Nine-segment line of the South China Sea") delimits certain island claims by China in the South China Sea.
The nine-rank system was a civil service nomination system used during certain Chinese dynasties.
-------
I'm pretty sure if China launches or has launched a crypto-coin their favorite name will be 9, or IX.
The whole bullshit with the I symbol [the cross of Loraine] was to throw guys like me off. That, IXC, the whole hidden meaning about the colonies, it made me believe the Jesuits launched iXcoin, the West.
Clever bastards...very clever indeed...
