So, if a person like me, does not exist on facebook ... (or not that I know of anyways ...)
I used to have friendster, but deleted it. The point is moot as the service itself changed owners, changed focus, and then eventually died.
Topic: The Bitcoin Chip (Read 245 times)
Has the internet of today and its many applications (such as Facebook) been turned into a sort of panopticon and could the same fate await bitcoin users?
Well it is possible, almost anything is these days. Question is do we see this slowly happening today? KYC and other verification methods are progressing, that's a fact but at the same time other, completely anonymous ways for bitcoin utilisation are on going.Stationary currency exchangers, cantors, counting houses etc are booming among crypto enthusiasts and I just can't see how all those people will move from anon to public. There must be a border, a dam for all this and I think we are very close to it, mental barrier for totalitarian actions of the state must be risen, just the fact that I'm writing about it, says that it already had happened.
There is also a case of de-anonymisation, does non anonymous bitcoin is still bitcoin? That would require some serious changes to the code, a fork, thus creation of yet another altcoin. The answer for my initial question seems to be a simple 'no but still we, as a whole, should be against forced methods of KYC. Right to remain unknown to the "system" must be addressed as human rights.
This sounds like that skynet type of things. I think it's exaggerated to say that we worship technology. We find ourselves in the technological era - yes and that helps us save time and improve efficiency. Without all these modern things we would find ourselves back in the medieval times. Bitcoin is just a significant upgrade to the global financial system. That's it - no need for those SF scarry things..
It is just natural for the hardware to develop with the latest trends in the market. Most companies have some sort of Blockchain project being developed now, so they might look for some hardware that would make things easier for Blockchain projects to run smoother.
We saw this happening in the Bitcoin mining scene, when ASIC technology was applied to Bitcoin mining algorithms and it totally replaced GPU mining. As the Blockchain grows bigger and bigger in size, companies would start to focus on "mining" that database of information for things that would help them to further their businesses. < Consumer behaviour / Bitcoin forensics etc. >

Second sentence and already full of crap 
Saying, cybernetic structure of a network is like saying meaty meatnes of the meat.
Cybernetics is the system and interworking of it, based on variables injected by users.
Not to mention this babble about the mark... O c'mon, mark of the beast is bitcoin, tremble in fear! NO! I say don't bother with your facebook infested phone! It is the bitcoin, alright?! Book of FUD, nothing more.
Facebook is known to be collecting data on all users who are active on its platform. The geolocation services and well as microphone and camera recording are capable of being remote activated.Saying, cybernetic structure of a network is like saying meaty meatnes of the meat.

When we look at something like bitcoin, and compare it to the early days of the internet http:// www, it is clear these types of networks can be turned against their users in the form of surveillance.

Diginomics Corporation has just released a new book entitled 'The Bitcoin Chip'!
The use of artificial intelligence on the blockchain to harvest huge amounts of data and create predictive algorithms with, will be one of the defining characteristics of the new technocratic era of the 21st century.
Bitcoin has established it’s own set of rules through the source code which it is built upon. Forcing legal frameworks on this type of 21st century innovation will only cause unnecessary friction during its adoption phase. Cryptocurrencies have an inherent regulation, the peer-to-peer architecture they are built upon. Truly, bitcoin is code as law. This new era of digital law will be entered into only by choice. That choice will come in the form of a mark.
The mark itself will be a computational image made in the flesh which references the bitcoin network. By using this network of information, artificial intelligence will appear omnipotent and omnipresent. With the awesome power of artificial intelligence, technology will know those who worship it better than anyone else, including themselves and their closest friends and family, and will personalize their approach toward every person who has the mark. Technology will know even the most intimate details about those who receive the mark ...
