Bitcoin was promised to be a liberating technology, a free market alternative to state-controlled money. But that promise was broken after a small group of insiders took over the project and fundamentally changed Bitcoin's design. Few people know the true history of Bitcoin and its original design due to years of heavy censorship, social media engineering, and tight information controls online. Hijacking Bitcoin destroys the most popular narratives that surround Bitcoin and sets the historical record straight. Roger Ver's passion and pain come through as he tells the story of a beloved project corrupted in front of his eyes. Written by one of the most prominent figures in the cryptocurrency industry, this book is impossible to ignore. From the inside flap: Bitcoin has been captured and changed for the worse. That's the undeniable conclusion of Hijacking Bitcoin. Chocked full of history and inconvenient truths, this book goes on a myth-busting rampage against the most popular narratives that surround BTC. Is Bitcoin truly decentralized? Is it supposed to be digital gold or digital cash? Did the original design really have scaling problems? Roger Ver addresses these questions head-on and provides uncomfortable answers. Roger Ver is the world's first investor in Bitcoin startups and has been a prominent name in the cryptocurrency industry since the beginning. Yet, as he confesses in the introduction, this book is not a love story. It's a devastating exposé of the corruption, propaganda, and centralization of power in Bitcoin.

Desvela los mecanismos ocultos de la dominación mundial con Globalismo: Ingeniería social y control total en el siglo XXI. El exitoso autor Agustín Laje desentraña magistralmente la malvada realidad de nuestro mundo moderno e ilumina las tinieblas de las fuerzas de poder que tratan de controlar a la humanidad. El globalismo no es globalización, sino una demoledora ideología que supone el más ambicioso proyecto de ingeniería social y control total en curso. Institucionalizada en organizaciones que, por definición, no tienen ni patria, ni territorio ni pueblo, esta ideología pretende parir un régimen político antidemocrático de alcance global. Así la soberanía de las naciones se redistribuye entre organizaciones supranacionales como el Foro Económico Mundial o la ONU con su Agenda 2030, liberadas de las limitaciones de los intereses particulares de los pueblos, para coordinar las transformaciones necesarias para nuestra «supervivencia». El globalismo también propone nuevas formas de legitimidad basadas en la tecnocracia y la supuesta filantropía de organizaciones como la Fundación Gates, la Open Society de Soros, y la Fundación Rockefeller. En esta obra, Agustín Laje explica magistralmente el origen y la formación del contrato social de nuestros Estados nacionales sobre una base democrática, mostrando cómo el globalismo busca culpabilizar estas estructuras para llevarnos a un callejón sin salida, donde todo se cede a una gobernanza global no representativa, la máxima expresión de la oligarquía de unos pocos privilegiados a los que nadie votó, y que ante nadie rinden cuentas pero que pretenden dirigir el destino del planeta. El autor llama a todos los actores sociales, políticos, religiosos e intelectuales a unirse contra el globalismo. La paradoja de que los patriotas olviden sus fronteras para esta batalla cultural adquiere un nuevo significado. Conocer la verdad y denunciar la mentira es un arma valiosa que este libro ofrece. Globalism Uncover the secret workings of world domination with Globalism: Social Engineering and Total Control in the 21st Century. Best-selling author Agustín Laje masterfully unravels the sinister reality of our modern world and sheds light on the darkness of the forces of power that seek to control humanity. Globalism is not globalization, but rather a devastating ideology representing the most ambitious social engineering and total-control project currently underway. Institutionalized by organizations such as the World Economic Forum or the UN with its Agenda 2030, Globalism also promotes new forms of legitimacy based on “technocracy” and the supposed philanthropy of organizations such as the Gates Foundation, Soros’ Open Society, and the Rockefeller Foundation. In this book, Agustín Laje skillfully explains the origin and formation of the social contract of our nation-States based on democracy, demonstrating how globalism seeks to blame these structures in order to steer us into a dead-end, where everything is handed over to a non-representative global governance. This represents the ultimate expression of an oligarchy formed by a few privileged elites who were elected by no one and are accountable to nobody, yet aim to dictate the destiny of the planet. The author calls on all social, political, religious, and intellectual figures to unite against globalism. The paradox of patriots disregarding their borders for this cultural battle takes on a new significance. Knowing the truth and denouncing the lie is a valuable weapon that this book offers.
La economía de Estados Unidos se encuentra en ruinas. Las empresas cierran, en las tiendas es imposible encontrar los productos básicos y la población empieza a perder la esperanza en recuperar la prosperidad y la autonomía. La respuesta del gobierno es aumentar cada vez más las regulaciones, el control de cualquier actividad y el colectivismo. La rebelión de Atlas es una novela de misterio, pero, como dijo Ayn Rand, «no sobre el asesinato del cuerpo de un hombre, sino sobre el asesinato ―y el renacimiento― del espíritu humano». Es la historia de un hombre que dice que parará el motor del mundo, y lo hace. ¿Es ese hombre un des-tructor malévolo o el mayor de los libertadores? ¿Por qué tiene que luchar, no contra sus enemigos, sino contra aquellos que más le necesitan, incluso contra la heroína a quien ama? Obra cumbre de la gran defensora de la razón y de la libertad individual frente a los excesos del Estado y su mentalidad autoritaria, en ella, Rand expone cómo el declive de la competencia entre las grandes empresas, la desmoralización entre quienes deberían liderar la actividad económica y creativa y la inercia del ciudadano común conducen a la pobreza moral y material. Mezcla de thriller de acción en las altas esferas y de reflexión filosófica sobre el Estado y el individuo, La rebelión de Atlas resume la filosofía de Ayn Rand en una historia que integra de forma magistral cuestiones relacionadas con la ética, la metafísica, la epistemología, la política, la economía y el sexo. Si quieres leer un único libro y entender la visión del mundo de Rand, éste es el libro.

Have you, like the rest of the world, speculated as to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, anonymous creator of Bitcoin? The world's first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin went online in 2009 and has since revolutionized our concepts of currency and money. Not supported by any government or central bank, completely electronic, Bitcoin is a virtual currency based on advanced cryptographic systems. Like the currency he created, the identity of Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto is virtual, existing only online. The Nakamoto persona, which may represent an individual or a group, exists only in the online publications that introduced and explained Bitcoin during its earliest days. Here, collected and professionally published for the first time are the essential writings that detail Bitcoin's creation. Included are • Satoshi Nakamoto Emails and Posts on Computer Forums Presented in Chronological Order • Bitcoin Fundamentals Presented in Layman's Terms • Bitcoin's Potential and Profound Economic Implications • The Seminal Paper Which Started It All The Book of Satoshi provides a convenient way to parse through what Bitcoin's creator wrote over the span of the two years that constituted his "public life" before he disappeared from the Internet . . . at least under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Beginning on November 1st 2009 with the publication of the seminal paper describing Bitcoin, this public life ends at about the time PC World speculated as to a possible link between Bitcoin and WikiLeaks, the infamous website that publishes leaked classified materials. Was there a connection? You be the judge. Nakamoto's true identity may never be known. Therefore the writings reproduced here are probably all the world will ever hear from him concerning Bitcoin's creation, workings, and theoretical basis. Want to learn more about Bitcoin? Go directly to the source-the writings of the creator himself, Satoshi Nakamoto!
A groundbreaking look at the NSA surveillance scandal, from the reporter who broke the story, Glenn Greenwald, star of Citizenfour, the Academy Award-winning documentary on Edward Snowden In May 2013, Glenn Greenwald set out for Hong Kong to meet an anonymous source who claimed to have astonishing evidence of pervasive government spying and insisted on communicating only through heavily encrypted channels. That source turned out to be the 29-year-old NSA contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden, and his revelations about the agency's widespread, systemic overreach proved to be some of the most explosive and consequential news in recent history, triggering a fierce debate over national security and information privacy. As the arguments rage on and the government considers various proposals for reform, it is clear that we have yet to see the full impact of Snowden's disclosures. Now for the first time, Greenwald fits all the pieces together, recounting his high-intensity ten-day trip to Hong Kong, examining the broader implications of the surveillance detailed in his reporting for The Guardian, and revealing fresh information on the NSA's unprecedented abuse of power with never-before-seen documents entrusted to him by Snowden himself. Going beyond NSA specifics, Greenwald also takes on the establishment media, excoriating their habitual avoidance of adversarial reporting on the government and their failure to serve the interests of the people. Finally, he asks what it means both for individuals and for a nation's political health when a government pries so invasively into the private lives of its citizens―and considers what safeguards and forms of oversight are necessary to protect democracy in the digital age. Coming at a landmark moment in American history, No Place to Hide is a fearless, incisive, and essential contribution to our understanding of the U.S. surveillance state.

As the global economy struggles to avoid meltdown, so the greatest Ponzi scheme in history approaches its final death rattle. Politicians have stood by and watched the financial industry create a massive overhang of debt, a mountain of low quality assets - and ultimately, an economic disaster which has dwarfed all others. The Eurozone crisis and the LIBOR manipulaton scandal are just two symptoms of a much broader problem: one of vastly excessive debt, regulatory failure, a culture of deceit on Wall Street and the City of London, and governments that have promised their citizens far more than they can deliver. In "Planet Ponzi", Mitch Feierstein tells you what's happened, what will happen next and how to protect yourself and your family.
2021 Hardcover Reprint of the 1949 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "Human Action: A Treatise on Economics" is the first comprehensive treatise on economics written by a leading member of the modern Austrian school of economics. Von Mises' contribution was very simple, yet at the same time extremely profound: he pointed out that the whole economy is the result of what individuals do. Individuals act, choose, cooperate, compete, and trade with one another. In this way Mises explained how complex market phenomena develop. Mises did not simply describe economic phenomena - prices, wages, interest rates, money, monopoly and even the trade cycle - he explained them as the outcomes of countless conscious, purposeful actions, choices, and preferences of individuals, each of whom was trying as best as he or she could under the circumstances to attain various wants and ends and to avoid undesired consequences. Hence the title Mises chose for his economic treatise, "Human Action."
