The Hellenistic culture is fascinating: it withstood Sparta, Persia, Rome, the Christian church, scientism, the Ottomans, two wars and is still alive, within the faculties, the arts, architecture, in Western religions and, finally, in our lives.

Whether you understand it or not, like it or not, agree or not, an undeniable fact that in Western culture, as well as in some Eastern cultures, the Hellenistic influence persists.

From a cultural point of view, it will always last as long as logic, rationalism and philosophy are used in everyday life. This was the culture that provided us with the basis of democracy - shaped by Athenian democracy - and of the way we understand collective representations within a parliament.

The Catholic Church itself, today a constituted secular, theocratic state, with believers scattered all over the world, has Aristotle as its rhetorical pillar. Greek philosopher, disciple of Plato, for example.

With few exceptions around the world, all countries adopt some kind of parliament and levels of democracy. Even dictators need a certain popular legitimacy.

But the most curious part, which most awakens the collective imagination, is in Greek mythology. So rich and of such vitality that its non-theocratic echoes permeate society to this day.

Zeus, Ares, Athenas, Hera, Aphrodite, Ceres, Hades, Poseidon, Hercules, Perseus, Theseus, Orpheus, Achilles, pegausu, minotaur, medusa, between gods and herod, a lot of literature, a lot of art, many drawings and many movies.

Released in 1981, looking back to the 80s of the 20th century, Chash of Titans was a milestone with regard to films made based on Greek mythology: Jason and the Argonauts is considered the precursor of this film that tells the entire trajectory of Perseus !

More incredible is the trustworthiness - within the possibilities - with the legend of Perseus against the gorgons and the Titas for love and power.

The film, which again does not have refined techniques - remembering that Alien, Star Wars and Star Trek had already been presented this year, as a technological reference - bet on the interpretation and strength of the tale.

He brilliantly presents the heart of Greek mythology: Gods have human characteristics and compete with each other. A mirror of the best virtues and worst flaws mirrored in tales, legends and mythologies.

Forget about the 2010 movie, which was Christianized in concept and serves nothing but entertainment.

The 1981 film has the nice mechanized owl, given by Athenas, to help Perseus. The iconic scene where Poseidon releases the Titan Kraken is antagonistic and spawns many memes to this day!

The film, similarly, reflects the inherent conflicts of people with power and others with even more power. Always directing and leading those who have less or no power.

Viewed from the corporate point of view, it exposes all the communication vices that a corporation can have: intrigues, sabotage, against orders, duplicated actions to the contrary, personal interests and a lot of imagination to make things work. At the other end are those who carry out the orders! At the mercy of those who have power.

In real life, we are all, to a greater or lesser degree, driven. In a greater or lesser order, we draw parallels with the Greek tales and myths -which were still more than records, more than 4000 years ago, of what we still live today. If today we have movies, back then there were papirus!

As for crypto-coins, I always think of Zeus, like in the movie, manipulating and other gods containing, each of the coins. Until the moment Zeus says: Free the Kraken......and then it happens just like bitcoin: scorched earth.

We can't control the machinery behind a cryptocurrency but, like Perseus, it's time to look for the best weapons and companions so as not to pray in the hands of Medusa: correct cunning, intelligence, patience and support keep the focus on what's good!

Beware of real life jellyfish: they paralyze, turn to stone and you will be eternally trapped, just wasting time!

Watch out for the powerful Kraken, it causes tsunami and wipes out everything. Which mountain will you run to?

Beware of the moods of the gods....you will never know when you will be being deceived and lose a lot of money for the delight of the gods!

Perseus used cunning and powerless won!

Your brain is your most powerful weapon!



Beat the gods and earn money!
