As I sit here writing the opening to this post, I am imagining it getting extremely long and I don't want that so I will do my best to limit its scope and keep to my main point...first though I want to just provide you with some bullet points as to what I believe My Future may be as we all build our collective futures based on Bitcoin....these are not in any particular ranked order...simply they are all parts of the future and some, or all, of these characteristics are likely to fluctuate in importance to our future at various blocks...

Honesty, Truth, Rightousness, Loyalty, Strength, Mindful, Forward-looking, Steadfast, Beauty, Lasting, Empathic, Virtual, Scientific, Orderly, Chaotic, Faulty, Free, Leaderless, Collective, Cooperative, Communicative, Blind, Exciting, Scary, Thoughtful, Thoughtless.... Just....

I am not sure if you picked up on it but I have a feeling at least some of you are thinking..."these characteristics seem to be contradictory?" What gives....you may ask...

Well - in My Bitcoin Future - the old saying of --- the more things change, the more they seem to stay the same! rings true and loud....

In my Bitcoin future - Bitcoin does not fix everything, in fact I think it is more likely to highlight and amplify the good and bad of society, the ying and yang, the black and white.... If you think about it and you are being honest with yourself and looking at the world from the perspective of a pure observer...(which is likely impossible but I think you can step-back from at least your own immediate perspective) and really try to look at this creation as objectively as possible - you will have to admit that everyone is able to use this tech...everything being built from 1-3-2009 and through eternity, is now able to be used by every single one of us then, you have to know that there will be users who may initially produce more than they take that will morph into users that take more than they produce...and if that is true then it should not be a large leap in your mind to grow that single user exponentially into a large group of users... I mean it could evolve into a planetary size group of users...likely even star-system wide, galaxy-wide, parsec-wide or larger groups of users...

Now obviously in order to grow a group to this size takes skills beyond what we as earth bound creatures have been able to assemble as of yet - but Bitcoin is likely the base system we will use to begin that journey and to pull that future into our collective reality...

In my Bitcoin future anyway - these are very real, very likely scenarios...

Bitcoin allows us the ability to transact with each other in a way that literally saves all our past time and energy and passes it on to the future users on the system...this allows our future selves to share our past value into perpetuity with all other users of the network. That thought, that characteristic is in my Bitcoin future one of the most important underlying tenents (or utilities) of the network...this ability to forever record in an open, honest, decentralized way - the entire history of past human value and push it forever forward into the arms of the future users is an incentive like no other....and as if that wouldn't be enough to propel the future of human civilization to higher heights....

Imagine now - we further incentivize users today by sharing with them some variable percentage of the future value created on the network for some variable period of time as well???

In my Bitcoin present - I believe I can help incentivize users onto the network through sharing just like I described above... I have posted about this idea previously and to date - no one has been able to provide me with a proof as to why it won't work....of course I may also not have done a perfect job at describing this incentive correctly as well :)

Anyway that is enough for now...I am getting caught up in other business and hope to come back to this later...
