“Morgan Stanley or the U.S. federal government. Every ten minutes, like the heartbeat of the bitcoin network, all the transactions conducted are verified, cleared, and stored in a block which is linked to the preceding block, thereby creating a chain. Each block must refer to the preceding block to be valid. This structure permanently time-stamps and stores exchanges of value, preventing anyone from altering the ledger. If you wanted to steal a bitcoin, you’d have to rewrite the coin’s entire history on the blockchain in broad daylight. That’s practically impossible. So the blockchain is a distributed ledger representing a network consensus of every transaction that has ever occurred. Like the World Wide Web of information, it’s the World Wide Ledger of value—a distributed ledger that everyone can download and run on their personal computer.”

“Según se explica en la página web, Ethereum es una plataforma que ejecuta aplicaciones descentralizadas, principalmente contratos inteligentes, «exactamente como están programados y sin posibilidad de pausa, censura, fraude ni interferencia de terceros». Ethereum se parece a bitcoin en que su ether motiva a una red de iguales para que validen las transacciones, protejan la red y creen consenso sobre lo que existe y lo que ha ocurrido. Pero se diferencia de bitcoin en que incluye algunas poderosas herramientas para ayudar a los desarrolladores y demás a crear servicios de software que van desde juegos descentralizados hasta mercados de acciones. Ethereum lo concibió en 2013 Vitalik Buterin, un canadiense de origen ruso que entonces tenía diecinueve años. Les había dicho a los desarrolladores de bitcoin que la plataforma necesitaba un lenguaje de programación más complejo que permitiera desarrollar aplicaciones. Al ver que rechazaban su propuesta, decidió crear su propia plataforma. ConsenSys fue la más rápida y se fundó para crear aplicaciones basadas en Ethereum. Dos años después la analogía es clara: Linus Torvalds es a Linus lo que Vitalik Buterin es a Ethereum.”

“Mornini, a plucky entrepreneur and self-described “eternal optimist,” likened periodic accounting to “watching a person stand up and dance in front of a strobe light. You know they’re dancing, but you can’t quite figure out what’s going on. And it looks interesting, but it’s hard to figure out all the steps in between.”66 Periodic accounting gives a snapshot. Audit is, by definition, a backward-looking process. Creating a complete picture of a company’s financial health by looking at periodic financial statements is like turning a hamburger into a cow.”

“¿Cómo diseñaríamos una empresa autónoma distribuida? Una entidad así podría tener una gran funcionalidad: agentes que ejecutaran tipos de tareas o, más en general, funciones empresariales, todo basado en un plan previamente aprobado. Individuos, organizaciones y colectivos de potenciales accionistas o usuarios las diseñarán de acuerdo con los siguientes principios: 1. Convicción: una visión del mundo y de lo que hay que hacer para crear valor o cambiar las cosas. 2. Finalidad: su razón de ser. ¿Por qué creamos esta empresa? 3. Constitución: traza los objetivos generales de la empresa y las normas por las cuales creará valor. 4. Modus operandi: por ejemplo, qué hará para crear ese valor; cómo se financiará, si por micromecenazgo, por la tradicional inversión inicial, o mediante los ingresos; cómo obtendrá recursos. 5. División del trabajo entre humanos y tecnología: en un primer momento quizá tengan que dirigirla los humanos. 6. Funciones de aplicación: cómo la empresa percibirá y responderá a condiciones cambiantes. 7. Directrices morales: la promesa de Google de «no ser malvado» no será suficiente. Los demás necesitan algunas directrices claras acerca de lo que es y no es una conducta aceptable.”

“con seguridad, capacidad de comunicación, herramientas transaccionales con las que conectarse a la economía global, seguridad, protección y garantía del derecho a la tierra y a otros bienes que posea legalmente.26 Esto y más es lo que prometen las blockchains. Las historias que el lector leerá pintarán un futuro en el que haya prosperidad para todos, no sólo más riqueza y poder para los ricos y los poderosos. Quizá incluso sea un mundo en el que cada cual será dueño de sus datos y podrá proteger su privacidad y seguridad personal. Un mundo abierto en el que todos podremos contribuir a crear nuestra propia infraestructura tecnológica, en lugar de un mundo de «jardines vallados» (walled gardens) en los que grandes compañías ofrezcan aplicaciones patentadas. Un mundo en el que miles de millones de personas excluidas podrán participar en la economía global y beneficiarse de su liberalidad. Veamos cómo sería.”

“2. El aumento de la ignorancia en la web Así como la gente no puede diferenciar a una persona de un perro en internet, así tampoco sabe discernir siempre la verdad. Los teóricos de las conspiraciones popularizan sus opiniones infundadas en cuestión de día y aun de horas,390 como hemos visto hace poco con el accidente del vuelo MH370 de la compañía Malaysia Airlines. Pensemos que tres de cada diez estadounidenses creen hoy que los seres humanos han existido desde el principio de los tiempos.391 Y pese a la aplastante evidencia científica de que las emisiones de carbono amenazan la vida en la Tierra, aquellos que tienen intereses a corto plazo han denigrado eficazmente la ciencia e impedido un debate inteligente, y no digamos planes de acción. Las personas que usan la red para promover la ignorancia y el negacionismo están ganándoles la batalla a los científicos y racionalistas. Países represivos como Irán y Corea del Norte están creando versiones privadas y restringidas de internet para sus ciudadanos, con lo que convierten la web en una herramienta aún más poderosa para hacer que la ideología triunfe sobre el racionalismo.”

“Bitcoin or other digital currency isn’t saved in a file somewhere; it’s represented by transactions recorded in a blockchain—kind of like a global spreadsheet or ledger, which leverages the resources of a large peer-to-peer bitcoin network to verify and approve each bitcoin transaction.”

“HIRE MUYERN TRUST HACKER FOR STOLEN ASSETS RECOVERY
Being an artist in New York, I rely heavily on online platforms to showcase and sell my work. One day, I was approached by a gallery claiming to offer international exposure for my art. They promised to feature my pieces in exhibitions and connect me with global buyers. Excited by the opportunity, I agreed to their terms, which included an upfront payment of $3000 to cover administrative fees. I transferred the amount, hoping this would be the breakthrough I needed. However, I began to suspect something was wrong after a few weeks. The gallery’s contact person stopped responding to my emails, and when I tried to visit their address, it turned out to be fake. I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. Feeling betrayed and frustrated, I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I discovered Muyern Trust Hacker on ( Te le gram at muyerntrusthackertech ) I reached out to them, providing all the details I had: the gallery’s information, transaction records, and emails from the scammer. Their team was incredibly supportive and assured me they would do everything possible to recover my funds. Their professionalism and empathy gave me hope during a difficult time. Using their expertise in digital forensics, Muyern Trust Hacker traced the scammer’s digital footprint and identified the offshore account where my money had been transferred. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to track the funds and initiate the recovery process. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the $3000 to me. The relief I felt was overwhelming. Not only did I get my money back, but I also learned valuable lessons about verifying opportunities and being cautious with upfront payments. Muyern Trust Hacker was a lifeline in my time of need, and I’ll always be grateful for their expertise, dedication, and support. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Muyern Trust Hacker. They are true professionals who go above and beyond to help their clients. Thanks to them, I can now focus on creating and sharing my art without the burden of losing hard-earned money to scammers.

“El sistema blockchain puede mejorar la entrega de ayuda extranjera suprimiendo a los intermediarios que reciben la ayuda antes de que llegue a su destino. En segundo lugar, como es un registro inmutable del flujo de capital, el sistema blockchain obliga a las instituciones a responsabilizarse más de sus acciones. Imaginemos que pudiéramos seguir cada dólar que damos a la Cruz Roja desde que sale de nuestro teléfono hasta que llega al beneficiario. Podríamos dejar nuestro dinero en depósito e ir donando conforme la Cruz Roja fuera cumpliendo objetivos.”

“El servicio de micropagos australiano mHITs (sigla de Mobile Handset Initiated Transactions) ha lanzado un servicio nuevo, BitMoney, que permite a clientes de más de cien países recargar sus teléfonos móviles enviando un mensaje de texto a mHITs especificando una cantidad de bitcoins.85 Según el desarrollador de Bitcoin Gavin Andresen: «No vemos todas las transacciones, sino sólo las que nos interesan. No confiamos nuestro dinero a otros usuarios como nosotros, sólo les pedimos que nos den la información que circula por la red».86”

“¿Por qué no creó Rupert Murdoch The Huffington Post? ¿Por qué no lanzó AT&T Skype, ni Visa creó PayPal? La CNN podría haber creado Twitter, visto que de frases cortas e impactantes como titulares se trata, ¿no? General Motors o Hertz podrían haber lanzado Uber, y Marriott, Airbnb. Gannett podría haber creado Craigslist o Kijiji. Yellow Pages podría haber fundado perfectamente eBay. Microsoft tenía la posibilidad de crear Google o cualquier modelo de negocio basado en internet más que en el ordenador personal. ¿Por qué no inventó la NBC YouTube? Sony podría haberse adelantado al iTunes de Apple. ¿Dónde estaba Kodak cuando se inventaron Instagram o Pinterest? ¿Y si People o Newsweek hubieran creado BuzzFeed o Mashable?”
