Bitcoin's Hyperreality

14 Dec 2020 4 minute read 1 comment Jelly Fish

  It's a tough task for average people to read contemporary philosophers, especially so-called "post-modern" philosophers. When I read those "post-modernists" (I had to, because my majors at the uni were arts of all sorts) even translated in my langu...

Bitcoin as Myth

Probably everyone knows about myths. It may well be a thick book of ancient verses or a funny story about the gods, the Greeks, trolls, or Vikings, featuring Orlando Bloom and Chris Hemsworth. But I'm talking about myths in a more philosophical sense...

BTC: the Game of Nerves

8 Dec 2020 2 minute read 1 comment Jelly Fish

Since my entering into cryptocurrency speculations about three months ago, I've started to love conspiracy theories. Especially the theories of my own, of course. I've already made a couple, and I feel fun to bake some more. After all, at the end of...

BTC Centralization

30 Nov 2020 2 minute read 2 comments Jelly Fish

Coinbase Shitted Our Merry Party?

27 Nov 2020 2 minute read 1 comment Jelly Fish

I've always knew that Coinbase (both Pro and Non-Pro) is a piece of shit. Well, it's yet another centralized crypto exchange with blackjack, hookers, KYCs, and AMLs geared mainly towards the US folks. It's yet another centralized "crypto wallet" with...
