If someone asked you what your favorite emotion was, how do you think you’d answer? For many people, I suspect they would answer “Happiness”, “Joy'', or some variant of exclusively positive emotion. Someone may think more meticulously and answer with “Contentment”, which while a positive emotion has a lot of nuance attached to it. However my answer to that question is what I feel others would consider more orthodox: Bittersweet. Pleasure accompanied by suffering, not exactly most people’s first pick but from my perspective pain is necessary in order to enjoy the pleasure that life gives you. Perhaps I'm over-romanticizing but there’s something to desire from looking back fondly at times where you were hurting and seeing yourself in a better place in the present. Perhaps you finally have moved on from “The one who got away” and can look back on those times with fondness. Perhaps you are sharing stories of a friend or family member at their funeral and though they may never w
Heads up to the SEC: You parasites are officially on notice.
As anyone who has been following along at The Agora or The New Libertarian is well aware - we here are of the conviction that the coming tokenization of securities and assets will successfully disintermediate FINRA. A while back I wrote this article explaining how tokens are to the SEC as 3D-printers are to the ATF, or cryptocurrencies are to the Federal Reserve.
With this in mind, I decided to take the SLP token creator in Electron Cash for a spin. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered that the process is so simple, that in comparison, it makes assembling IKEA furniture seem like splitting the atom. For detailed instructions, check out this wonderful article by Jamie Redman or this recent tutorial by Roger Ver.
Anyway, in less than 10 minutes I had created 10.5 million KonkinCoin, with ticker symbol “SEK3” to honor the late founder of agorism and moved them all into my Badger wallet.
The first thing to stand out (other than ease of use), is the historical significance that’s so easily lost to most casual observers. Entrepreneurs no longer need to trudge through an expensive registration process with the SEC. In fact, the burdensome cost of compliance incentivizes market actors to move their business from the white market to the anarchic, black and grey. Moreover, those who are already participating in the counter-economy can now access additional capital by taking their ventures public.
One point of irony: After creating KonkinCoin, I was reviewing Redman’s article when I noticed something interesting-
Someone had already created an SLP token with ticker symbol “SEKIII” prior to my creation of KonkinCoin (ticker: SEK3)! You know the BCH community is healthy when there are already two competing tokens to honor the late founder of agorism!
Such exciting stuff! Leave your SLP address in the comments to receive a bunch of KonkinCoin!
Great for anyone who wants to create a local/alternative currency.
ReplyDeleteStoked you has such a positive experience and are sharing it with others! That's exactly what this technology needs right now.
ReplyDeleteYes! It's still incredibly early, but the "tokembrian explosion" (to quote a friend) is certainly coming!
DeleteMaybe I'll make a Rothbard coin soon. Send me some tokens please!
