Sh!t. Just remembered you.
You told me once you hold 500k IXC.
Like 2 months ago, in cryptsy chat.
Brother, are you the guy from across the Danube? Did you buy any IXC at half a penny back then when I urged you to? You said you would so I hope you did and I hope you haven't sold yet cause this thing is just getting started.
And yes, I own 3% and I have not sold a single coin.
Good luck!
did you buy Quark like i told you Vlad ? - its literally just getting started .
re IXC - i haven't really followed this whole topic ?
perhaps you might want to read though Neutral Control Principal & Theory : - http://forum.qrk.cc/thread/1416/neutral-control-principal-theory
I read your Neutral Control Theory.
Very interesting and well written.
Problem is that the theory is fundamentally flawed. Think of the socialism theory - just like your theory, it sounds beautiful on paper, but the problem is that in real life it all has to be implemented by humans.
And the fundamental flaw with humans is that they're self serving and corrupt.
So if you think that an already powerful govt is going to take a digital currency which takes away freedoms from the masses and in turn they will voluntarily give up power instead of taking more power and using the new technology which tracks every move of every human on earth and then voluntarily also give up control over monetary controls then you have neglected the most basic premise of humanity:
greed and corruption of the human heart and the absolute fact that as more power and control is given to any body of government, they always, absolutely, abuse that power and use it to their gain - for their self interests.History has proved this many times over yet we keep eating the same lies while giving up our freedoms to self serving humans who will inevitably act in their evil self interests.
Therefore, this Neutral Theory is nothing more than another hopeless dream which will be used [effectively] to sell this Digital Cash idea to the masses but when it's all said and done, when it's too late to turn back, the masses will realize they have given up the last bastion of hope, freedom and expression.
just some point Vlad - no "insiders" own anywhere near any % like that of Quark actually QRK is one of the best distributed crypto that exists - but I'll let you find that out yourself later.
as regards Neutral Control Theory - i'd respectfully suggest a re- read, but having said that i understand where you come from , i'm currently undertaking a bit of a psychological analysis of "apathetic citizens" -
so for you to read the NCT principal and see it for what it is, would be very difficult, ( i understand this ) but in this aspect i want to help .
how you are seeing things incorrectly I will break down the ways into parts for you:
1. You are seeing "Government" as a single entity - that is to say if you visualized "Government" you might visualizes a large strong monolith for example.
why is this incorrect ?
Government is just a group of people with different individual levels of corruption.
2. You see only "Government" as the problem.
Why is this incorrect ?
This seems to be a prevalent and important flaw in the thought process of an "apathetic citizen" - because with only one side of the story how can you (or anyone with the similar view) ever expect to understand how corruption works ?
Government for simplicity sake is the one half of a two part power "sharing" system - i will break it down for you and give you some examples :
Corporations V Government.
"The Bank" V "The King".
The Money Issuance Power V The Guns and Hardware. (broadly stated industrial capacity also military industrial capacity) I could go on but this is the biggest flaw that distorts your vision in this regard -
back to 2014 > NCT is an inevitable theory that grants neutral control, the reason and how this will occur is because it can not be stopped, you are misunderstanding the nature of "Neutral Control" i tried to highlight it at the end of the document but its a difficult point to clearly get across -
so "powerful Government" (and incorrect statement in most cases around the world) will not have a choice but to select Neutral control as it will occur anyhow, for the Government it is a positive thing, the losers are the holders of the power of issuance over the "ongoing mechanics of currency issuance" .
so I'm going to stop right here and prove you wrong and me correct .- answer this line :
Q - Who issues the currency of the nation ?
A - you say
not the Government (in most cases) and you are correct .
Q - who loses out in an NTC situation ?
A - the issuing power , which you have agreed is NOT the Government .
Q- then could the "government" benefit from NCT ?
A- that would be up to the individual Government, i.e the sum of its corrupted whole.
Feel free to read the document again -
http://forum.qrk.cc/thread/1416/neutral-control-principal-theoryalso see how a Government would execute a NTC Crypto -
