🎄On the something day of Christmas 🎵🥂
My Christmas carol got it’s annual outing at the End of the Year Show last week.
Here it is for your festive pleasure.
NB there’s a bit of swearing so watch who’s listening.
Roy Larner he of “F#@k you I’m Millwall"“ fame was in the audience - and came on stage to a standing ovation after we sang the Ballad (that was quite something) - so we had some fun with him in the above song.
Enjoy!
Happy Christma

“A coder and independent security researcher named Sergio Lerner conducted a detailed analysis of the block chain at the time Satoshi was still mining. He concluded that Satoshi had mined at least one million bitcoins – more precisely 1,148,800. Lerner felt that if any of these coins had been spent, it would not be difficult to work out Satoshi’s identity – the recipient of the coins would know, unless the sender had sent the coins anonymously. But it appears that none of them were ever spent.”

“In May 2010, a Florida programmer by the name of Laszlo Hanyecz wanted to test the technology. He offered to buy a pizza for 10,000 coins. The pizza arrived. For several days after that, Hanyecz bought 10,000-bitcoin pizzas. I bet he regrets it now. Ten thousand bitcoins would at one stage be worth over 12 million dollars. Twelve million bucks for a pizza!”

“The only way to create real new wealth is to grow stuff, make stuff or mine stuff. Everything else is simply the transference of wealth from one group to another. Thanks to our system of money and banking, we have transferred all our wealth to a small percentage of society – and impoverished a generation in the process.”

“Why would you want YouTube, Facebook or Netflix running in a decentralized way with no central body in charge? It eliminates the problem of excessive personal information on Facebook, or your YouTube viewing habits being monitored and marketed to.”

“The implications are enormous – not just to corporations, but to governments as well. If everything can be dis-intermediated and decentralized, what about the services governments provide – healthcare, welfare and education? The bureaucratic middleman megalith that makes them so inefficient and expensive could be circumvented altogether.”
