I don't even hold the coins someone else has them. So, seriously stop asking why I haven't spent them. I would if I could because I am broker than one should ever admit to. Ask bradlyinDC what he's doing with them.
The psychosis accusations are largely true but I don't look at it that way. If you saw what I saw you wouldn't call it a mental disorder. That book is largely true but incomplete on the whole ordeal and there are metaphysical practices that can ease the tension a situation like this creates. For me, it is largely yoga practice, grounding, getting down with nature, and qi gong. Following a lot of things in this book actually helped to
http://biologyofkundalini.com/article.php?story=KundaliniPracticeSkillsListI actually contacted that author at one point and she has helped me out a lot because the amount of people kundalini active are so few that I guess she doesn't exactly have people beating down her door to talk to her.
Though, at the time someone had come to me on a message board like this and been like hey you come up with this idea what do you think about it. I think it was at a time when we were all charged up about ron paul and looking to make a difference that this really transpired. After the psychosis ordeal and escaping barely with my life I needed to wind down. In addition, things were not going so hot in my love life either and was feeling down and out and really wanted nothing to do with it at the time. Also, I had no idea how many coins they had mined for me or really care to lead anything or be involved in the movement for that matter. My main focus was on feeling better and trying to understand some of the extraordinary circumstances that had happened to me at the time.
I was able to find things that made me feel better emotionally and mentally as well as a lot of good literature. Though, nothing from the western world. Most the ideas were eastern in nature: kundalini yoga and some of these spiritual leaders that had emerged from the east (Gopi Krishna, Paramhansa Yogananda)
Look I'm talking like a conspiratologist, talking about a figment they group, but I really have no idea how the group satoshi nakamoto came about or why they chose it or for that matter who was all involved with the white paper. I do know they wrote the paper based on my recommendation given at the time based on my time with the government as a patent examiner. My line of thinking at the time was to put the idea in the public domain instead of patenting it. That way if someone was to sabotage the currency with more mining power we could roll out another digital currency and start over. This was to prevent someone with more resources from claiming the lions share of the mining power. In addition, though I am not scared of any government entity (though I fervently watch this IRS targetting scandal waiting for justice because I was focused in on that, got audited by the assholes) it was a concern at the time that this whole idea of minting a digital currency could in fact get you in trouble with government forces per se. This was based not really on speculation but hard evidence because at the time you had the Liberty Dollar getting shut down and also why a lot of this came about but a little known gold back digital currency at the time the American Eagle. I became fascinated with the concept of a digital backed gold currency because it is the digital age after all. In addition, I am a holder of physical gold and silver (I know I said I am broke but it's really not much) and I know how hard it is to actually spend your physical holdings into circulation. So, really the idea to mine in an a decentralized manner was to prevent one entity from essentially running the currency as a whole and actually in the end protect it (again basing this on the liberty dollar, american eagle). So, essentially I was not some seer but could see the line in the sand that the government and fed had drawn about competition.
I am a terrible programmer barely passed my freshman engineering C++ class. I spearheaded the idea but in no way carried out, implemented, or for that matter mined any of the coins. Someone else actually mined them for me.
My influences were largely from the conspiracy movement and a lot of the info that was floating around during the Ron Paul campaign in 08. I was highly influenced by a lot of anarcho capitalists ideas and in fact a lot of my inspiration came from the book Case Against the Fed by Murray Rothbard which, I never in fact read to completion. I liked the money masters a lot, ideas of colonial script, and the greenback during the civil war days. I became convinced essentially this whole debt instrument swap BS that the fed does was all smoke and mirrors. This was based largely by history as there had been instances of people circulating unbacked paper currencies, tally sticks (stuff without intrinsic value per se and it functioning as money). At the time an argument erupted about the intrinsic value phenomenon but again like I said history seemed to prove that wrong. My best guess is if you don't believe me read that book or watch the money mastes. Honestly, I just read a lot and not really books. I'm a message board junkie. I like reading ideas by common folk that may or may not of ever been listened to by anyone else or anybody important for that matter. I surf godlikeproductions mostly for news but there are a whole new sort of crazy people floating around there anymore and I never really post. I use it more of a breaking news site and I use to follow infowars, rense, the power hour, you name it (GCN network stuff). I use to be an avid listener of Alex Jones but don't really bother much anymore.
