  • Review of The Common Law
    Apr 1 2024

    We are programmed to think law in America is something other than it is. The basis of our system of law is The Common Law, which America's founders carried over from the British Isles. The Common Law is like an organism. The philosophical basis of law grows from places and times and situations which may seem alien to us in 2024.

    The objective of this episode is to illuminate law as an aspect of society that is integral to our lives yet which most of us have no clue about. Corporate news and entertainment, together, intentionally trick us into believing in a fantasy version of the law that weakens our intellect and understanding. A more correct perspective of law will serve us in our pursuit of freedom, and in some cases, it can help us navigate questions relating to crypto. It is up to each of us to help each other to see through the nonsense.

    I am not a scholar or expert or practitioner of law. I read a book, and now I recommend it you.

    This podcast promotes financial literacy and cryptocurrency literacy because I believe this knowledge can make the difference in ensuring our financial and personal freedom. Let us learn and teach financial and personal freedom in order to cut a path away from the hamster wheel.

    Learn, Teach, and Enjoy!

  • Basic Data for HEX
    Feb 12 2024

    Discussion of some websites where you can look at on-chain data for HEX that is presented in a user-friendly way. That is, user-friendly for crypto.

    Websites described in this episode are:

    hexstats.today , apphex.win , hex.vision , gopulse.com, go.hex.com , etherscan.io , hexfire.io

    Anything that is real cryptocurrency should have this level of public and verifiable detailed information. Blockchain data is public and immutable, or it is fake crypto. HEX is real crypto, and it is the leading innovation in cryptocurrency.

  • Review of "Mastering Ethereum"
    Jan 15 2024

    Crypto participants should study the basics. A book titled "Mastering Ethereum" is an introductory user manual for the Ethereum Network. Much of the book is written for developers who know computer science, but there is plenty of general knowledge that a common participant of crypto can find useful. Whether conducting common operations, or evaluating new things, or understanding privacy and censorship, you serve yourself well by knowing the basics.

    I get nothing from mentioning this book. It exists in paper text, digital text, and audio forms. Check your bookstore for a paid version, or check your library or GitHub for a free version. This book is an excellent resource for people of all technical levels. In addition to this book, one can read the Ethereum "Yellow Paper" or read the website Ethereum.org for more info. If a person can only study one blockchain, then Ethereum is the place to start right now.

    Bitcoin created send-only cryptocurrency.

    Ethereum innovated programmable contracts.

    Pulsechain improved upon Ethereum with lower fees and faster transactions.

    Links for reading:

  • Serving Yourself Crypto
    Dec 31 2023

    A 10 minute tutorial mixed in 1 hour of commentary. Imitate this tutorial at your own risk. Assume this information is obsolete. This is a teaching method. Learn or get left behind. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions.

    A late 2023 innovation for cryptocurrency allows participants to run code without middlemen. Until now, most crypto participants have relied on websites to host a user interface for cryptocurrency functions like running smart contract code or inter-blockchain bridge code. The founder of HEX, Richard Heart, has created a way for us to run such code on our local device without a website.

    The form of this innovation is a downloadable ZIP archive file that contains a EXE executable file that allows a person to be both the host and client on a private local server that runs a specific cryptocurrency function. This is instead of a person being a client to a website server that can be hacked or disabled.

    Four local server files and their locations:

    • the Uniswap v2 DEX on Ethereum via the URL https://ethhex.com/

    • the Bridge between Ethereum and Pulsechain via the URL https://bridge.pulsechain.com/

    • the PulseX DEX on PulseChain via the URL https://app.pulsex.com/

    • HEX Staking for both Ethereum and Pulsechain via the URL https://go.hex.com/

    It may take years or some painful event for unaware crypto developers and participants to catch on to the fact that this is the future of real crypto. Real crypto is an ethos. Cryptocurrency systems that do not strive to be real crypto leave themselves open to censorship and other risks associated with centralization. Convenience and risk and tied together. Those that realize that reducing risk is the only convenient approach are those who will win.

  • Price Insurance

The asset delivery mechanism is the key feature to pay attention to when comparing cryptocurrency to price insurance.

Understanding the spirit of a mechanism helps to identify a mechanism when it takes a new shape.

  • Staking Psychology
    Sep 30 2023

    It is easy to not understand why a person would choose to stake a cryptocurrency for years. HEX is a time monetization system that rewards delayed gratification by rewarding time in the system. Certain mindsets and perspectives are common among those who chose to stake HEX in order to mine more HEX. These perspectives are different from traders, holders of various coins, and even from those who hold HEX without staking it. This episode discusses some of the psychology common to stakers when they first begin, and later on after they have studied the system in which they participate.
