Cognitive Dissonance: Am I Waking Up To A War On Freedom?

& The Reasons I Believe The Quant Network Will Be A Major Player In The Digital Economy

Disclaimer: This is a personal perspective. I am not a financial advisor, an economist, or a physicist. I am making my best attempt at speaking truth. Any mistake I make is my responsibility. This is merely a synthesis of information — a connection of dots & a collection of thoughts.

Throughout time and space, at least within humanity’s recorded history, those who hold the most wealth are those who control the means of wealth production. To preserve it, those who produce wealth work with the entities in power to designate and impose specific standards and rules. If we, as individuals, take the time to research and take note of the evolution of our species, we can see that this has arguably occurred across all civilizations.

Ray Dalio, within his online series, “The Changing World Order,” reviews the rises and declines of the past leading empires that puts today’s economic, political, and policy situation into a larger perspective. He emphasizes the ebb-and-flow of various revolutions, and I’d consider taking some time to look into his work. The Founder of Bridgewater Associates applies his knowledge well — synthesizing his research into a cohesive, informative dialogue.

Currently, humanity is experiencing one of the worst economic crises since the creation of the United States of America. This crisis underscored the fragility of the modern financial system, where we find that our monetary system’s wealth is reliant on corporate banks and other financial institutions that are forced upon our people to not only trust, but to also abide by without choice.

This is not freedom.

Our society has brought upon itself destruction (for the lack of a better word), and it seems as if it’s too late for most of us to persevere. The years of 2018 and 2019 marked the infancy stages of the current economic crisis, and when paired with the dialogue, economic effects, and a collective conscious of a global pandemic fueled by fear, there are evident signs of global dismay — possibly revolution.

The modern-day world, when looking at it through simplicity, paints a realistic, yet seemingly surreal view of a world that was purposeful in it’s actions to lead to the current global crisis that we are consciously (and some of us unconsciously) experiencing as victims today. Yes, I am saying that I believe that the events that have occurred up to this point, within our modern-day society, have been planned. I will further demonstrate my stance with some historical evidence and then continue by providing details as to why I believe the Quant Network is a major player moving forward (maybe even more so than Ripple’s XRP). Though, it all seems to connect.

Generally when reviewing history, we can acknowledge that Globalists deploy two schemes to achieve their lofty goals. First, there are schemes that “they” (those who control means of production and power) spring on the public out of thin air, haphazardly in the hopes that the speed of the event, along with some shock and distraction, will confuse the masses, leaving us all psychologically inept. It seems as if this strategy loses its effectiveness quickly though; the longer the plan takes to implement, the more time the people have to reconsider what is actually happening and why.

The second strategy employed by Globalists is symbolic to the boiling frog fable. These schemes are slowly implanted in the collective consciousness (psyche) of the citizenry over many generations, and over many years, much like macrocosmic subliminal messaging or hypnosis. This strategy is designed to make our people, our loved ones, our families, all embrace certain destructive ideologies or ideas as if these ideas were our own. (See: Racism)

I believe that after reviewing different accounts of history, I have come to realize that humanity’s evolution moves in a wave like pattern, and, what goes around comes around. I am fully aware that we as a society must fully embrace the incoming digital revolution — there is always a time for revolution. But, if the past can be related to the future, we can expect that the future of humanity lay in the hands of those who control the means of production, and as of today, the means of production lay in the hands of those who control the production within the digital economy and tech-world.

Now, something I have become aware of is that we, as Americans and much of the western world in particular, are increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of real, tangible production. The latest generation coming into political and social influence, known as my generation of the millennials, is a perfect example. Us millennials, yes, the most informed generation yet, lack workplace competency skills, including scoring low on arithmetic and reading comprehension. Often, we are portrayed as “tech savvy” in popular culture and the mainstream media, though really, us millennials are essentially inept when it comes to core skills that fuel strong business and trade, which is actually part of the reason why the U.S. is falling into the shadow of foreign workforces. The millennials in the western world are also exhibiting abysmal technical skills in international testing. This has come by surprise to many mainstream economists and social analysts, mainly because our generation is considered to be the “most educated” generation to date.

But of course, we have not only been given a virtual economy in recent decades, but we have also been slowly introduced to a virtual education system. A majority of our generation is lacking when it comes to key production skills and leadership methods because we have been conditioned to dismiss such skills as useless. In other words, the millennial generation (and arguably even more so, our Generation Z) has been conditioned to become “academic idiots” — people that are highly educated yet have no knowledge of application. What’s next?

Why should we go through the struggle and hardship required to become an effective producer of tangible necessities when it is far easier to just go ahead and join a collectivist drive for socialism and one world governance — a structure in which basically no work is required to obtain such necessities? What is stopping me from just stealing from a productive minority and spreading it thinly (and quite unevenly) enough to keep the unskilled majority not only fed, but also constantly desiring more? Why exist in the real world, seemingly void of all peace and happiness, when we can dive into a virtual world? It is only within this kind of culture that virtual production, a virtual society, and virtual “money” can be seen as an ideal solution. The notion is becoming more and more clear in our popular media, and I believe that this is rather symbolic of our current state of being.

Above all else, the virtual economy breeds weakness within our society. It encourages a lack of tangible production. Instead of producing goods, instead of becoming entrepreneurs, inventors, and amazing neighbors, we have become a people scrambling to sell real world property in order to buy computing rigs capable of “mining” coins that don’t actually exist. That is to say, we may one day soon be faced with millions of citizens expending their labor and energy — their life force — in order to obtain digital nothings programmed into existence and given artificial scarcity (for now).

A virtual economy also encourages false rebellion. Real change requires actions in the real world. This means, taking down and removing the elitist bankers and the structures by implementing active civil disobedience, or something similar. Instead, freedom activists are being convinced that they will never have to lift a finger, or only lift fingers for keystrokes, to beat the bankers — all they have to do is buy and mine cryptocurrency and post their beliefs (am I guilty?). A day will come within the near future when the people that embrace this trickery will awaken, realizing that they have wasted their precious energy chasing a narwhal riding a unicorn, and are actually quite ill-prepared to weather the economic reset that continues to evolve, most likely arriving at our doorstep like our beloved Amazon Prime packages.

The virtual economy seems to be so much easier, so much more enticing, so much more comfortable. Why risk anything, or everything in a real world effort to build a concrete trade network in our own community? Why risk everything by promoting true decentralization through a localized resource based economy and/or trust system? Why risk everything by defending those systems when the establishment seeks to crush them? Why take action, when we can pretend we are a virtual hero wielding virtual swords in a no risk rebellion, all based on 0’s and 1’s.

Why not think beyond a world of currency?

Many of us, as a people, believe that the free flow of information and data on the internet is a weapon in favor of liberty. I generally agree. It feels as if the internet is the wild west, a new frontier for opportunity. Though, I’d also consider that it can be used as a weapon in favor of the establishment — these Globalists we speak of. Hence, internet regulation and censorship has become rampant during (and oddly due to) the recent election.

Please understand, the internet was invented and is fully surveilled by the establishments. With a macro overview of data flows, entities like Google can predict future social trends and instabilities, not to mention see into every personal detail of an individual’s life, past and present. I’d go even further, and say that for centuries, our humanity has been manipulated into becoming engaged in a battle defending the living energetic realm from the forces of darkness that intend to crucify our Light. Though, I will save the specifics for a later time.

One way that this battle seems to be ensuing is through the education and conditioning of greed, ensuring we attach to money — to desire. We can see this through the enslavement of humanity by using debt as a vehicle, and as I write this, the cryptocurrency scheme that has been long underway just digs us deeper into the Veil of Maya (world of illusion).

I am highlighting cryptocurrency, specifically. The very core of the movement towards a global cryptocurrency, I believe, is the destruction of freedom and anonymous trade through a “cashless society.” When all trade is watched, all trade can be controlled. The Covid-19 pandemic has only increased the desire for a cashless system and unnecessary, unlawful surveillance and tracking.

By monitoring trade transactions on a macro scale, Globalists can also, in a way, monitor mass psychology and predict public behavior — though, with limitation. I can say that this technological surveillance movement somewhat began with the foundations of Google, and then moving down the timeline, within the foundations of Facebook. Facebook, and the Artificial Intelligence (AI) connected to it, is now capable of understanding our wants and desires. It knows who we are or, at least, who we virtually present ourselves to be. This information is then fed to Google and Alphabet’s massive, extremely intricate AI. Essentially, their algorithm formulated that we all want love, peace, freedom, and unity; thus initiating a deeper step into the New World Order — a push for a One World Currency (See: double-speak). This currency can connect all people, claiming assistance for all, even those that are deemed underprivileged. Though, I believe that we can see a war on freedom develop even further back in history.

In my humble opinion on the matter, the entire cryptocurrency dialogue over the past decade has done one thing very well — make the idea of cryptocurrencies a topic for discussion, and I believe that this was the goal all along. The goal was to slowly shift the sentiment towards a cashless, worldwide economic system.

I have found growing evidence that supports the notion that both private and central banks were, and are, deeply involved in building the infrastructure needed to make blockchain technology go global and become a universal tool amongst all people. It is becoming more apparent that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were merely an experiment for the introduction of something much darker, engulfing us further into a war on freedom.

Allow me to provide some details about cryptocurrency.

The first, largest, and most widely known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin. Known by its crypto ticker as BTC, Bitcoin was created by an unknown entity, “Satoshi Nakamoto” during the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis. It was a desperate test to lay the groundworks for a new world agenda. I believe that the technology behind Bitcoin can be life-changing for humanity, though, after researching it a bit, I found some odd things that deserve some exposure.

The cryptocurrency must be mined, so Bitcoin mining is designed to solve hashes in the SHA-256 algorithm. SHA-256 is a 256-bit version of an algorithm that is utilized to encrypt messages over the internet. As people’s computers mine bitcoins, they are discovering solutions to SHA-256 hashes, which then get identified and stored within the blockchain, which is just a digital record and repository of all activity within Bitcoin up-to-date. Each block is like one SHA-256 puzzle. The computers are attempting to solve this puzzle. The only way to solve this puzzle is to guess the right answer randomly out of billions and billions of choices. So when computers mine for bitcoins, they are guessing solutions to that particular block’s SHA-256 puzzle. When a solution is found, a specific amount of bitcoins are rewarded to the miner who found the solution. These solutions are very difficult to find, which is why it takes so long for Bitcoin transactions to complete, but also why it is secure.

The National Security Agency (NSA) invented SHA-256. Basically, SHA-256 is a set of instructions designed and written by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) that tell a computer to follow a series of mathematical steps with any input, in the form of a string of information of any size. Essentially, Bitcoin can’t exist without the interference with the NSA, power companies, and the internet. I also find it quite odd that the entire concept was described in a paper published by the NSA in 1996 entitled “How To Make A Mint: The Cryptography of Anonymous Electronic Cash.”

Years ago, we learned from Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor, that the NSA was also working on building a quantum computer. Even the Washington Post wrote a piece about it back in 2014. The article provided details about how a quantum computer would be capable of overcoming most types of encryption.

But, what are the implications of quantum computing, cryptocurrency, and our future?

Based on my non-scientific background, I was able to gather information in regards to quantum computing. This is based on information available to the public in regards to quantum computing. I want to clarify, this is not a specialization of mine.

Computers today code information into bits — binary digits that are either based on a “0” or “1.” It is based on duality. These bits are generally stored on the hard disk of the computer by changing the polarity of the magnetization on a small section of a magnetic disk or stored in RAM or flash memory represented by two different levels of charge in a capacitor. The strings of bit can be combined to produce data that is readable by us humans.

Quantum computers on the other hand, use the different states of quantum particles to represent “quantum bits” or “qubits” — the polarizations of photons. Photons, can be represented differently, so we can say that photons are capable of rotating in 3 dimensions vertically, horizontally and diagonally, and due to superimposition, they can also rotate in all directions at the same time. Quantum mechanics is strange, and we as humans are just discovering the potentiality for our evolution (though, ancient wisdom seems to relate).

But, in application, this means that a traditional computer performs one calculation at a time while a quantum computer could, in theory, perform millions of calculations at a time. The NSA is currently in the process of building a computer that could break down almost all types of encryption used to protect banks, government records, personal data, etc. all around the world. This would seem like it could be the end of all cryptography and the digital economy as we know it. I do believe that there is a government backing within Bitcoin, and that once the algorithm becomes less relevant, we will find new technology, like quantum computing, leading the way with foundations in government intelligence.

It may seem as if my perspective is that of a dystopian future, though I’m not explicitly saying that. I believe that advances in technology, especially that of cryptocurrency, are ingenious ideas. I am here to present information to humanity so that we can become mindful of what is going on behind the scenes. I want to ensure that even though we may take part in the digital economy, we must stay aware of where it may lead so that we are consciously seeking evolution. Technology should advance hand in hand as humans advance towards love and peace. Technology should be seen as a tool for humans, not the power behind their existence.

Now, allow me to detail how cryptocurrency and our global economy are interconnected.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) was an entity created to confront international monetary issues, yet seem to be directly tied to the many issues arising in our daily life. This connects to an economic reset, which can be directly found on the IMF website. The agenda is hidden in plain sight (like all truth).

I question the accountability of the IMF. Where are the checks & balances? Who oversees their actions? Though, I’ll attempt not to stray.

The origin of the IMF can be traced back to the days of international chaos of the 1930’s. During the Second World War, plans for the construction of an international institution for the establishment of monetary order were taken up. “They” needed to figure out a plan. At the Bretton Woods Conference held in July 1944, delegates from 44 non-communist countries negotiated an agreement on the structure and operation of the international monetary system.

Now, this seems like a good time to bring up Special Drawing Rights (SDR). Special Drawing Rights are supplementary foreign exchange reserve assets defined and maintained by, none-other than, the International Monetary Fund. SDR’s are units of account for the IMF, and not a currency per se.

Historically, we can find that the SDR was introduced and created in 1969 to replace the Dollar (USD) as the world reserve currency. The United States was very near to defaulting on the agreements made at Bretton Woods in 1944 and was nearly out of gold and essentially, could no longer convert dollars to gold in order to create global liquidity. At the time, the USD was backed by gold, which is why this is significant.

Henry Kissinger, the Secretary of State under Presidents, Nixon and Ford, developed what we call the “petrodollar” and this temporarily negated the need to institute the new SDR currency as a world reserve currency contender back in 1969. The petrodollars are U.S. dollars paid to an oil exporting country for the sale of the commodity. Put simply, the petrodollar system is an exchange of oil for U.S. dollars between countries that buy oil and those that produce it. It helped increase the stability of oil prices denominated in U.S. Dollars.

As we witnessed in April of 2020, oil prices plummeted into the negatives. We can argue the cause, yet, it really meant that the U.S. dollar lost its value, and we can see that it continues to do so as I write.

Currently, the USD is the reserve currency, and the United States is also the largest debtor nation on the planet. Essentially, the U.S. relies on a system of money unbacked by invaluable resources, created by The Federal Reserve, which is not actually part of the United States of America, but is a private bank, arguably established to psychologically enslave humanity. For more details, please look into The Federal Reserve and the creation thereof.

I believe that the current economic plan is to replace the USD with a new world reserve currency, one that is inherently designed not to go broke. This is where we see something like reserve assets (SDR) become valuable. The SDR is a product of the IMF and is given a value by mixing a “basket” of currencies. Currently, the SDR is valued by weighing the currencies of the U.S., Japan, Europe, China, and Russia.

And, get this: the IMF consists of unelected central bank chiefs and a consortium of bankers from countries that can’t be audited. These bankers have and will maintain their unchecked control until stopped. Fiat money is created from nothing, and in this case, the SDR is not seen as a claim against the IMF. In theory, the IMF cannot go broke, so the new SDR currency becomes the new “perfect” world reserve currency.

Allow me to be clear: fiat currencies are one of the first machinations of the virtual economy. Once paper currencies printed from thin air by central bankers were separated from tangible backing and accepted by the masses as “valuable” and worth trading time and labor for, the seed of financial disease was planted. It started there.

A few years back, I discovered that in 1988, The Economist, a global finance publication (owned by Rothschilds, who also own The Federal Reserve where our money is printed), “predicted” (or rather, announced) that a global currency system would be launched in the the year, 2018. It is now clear to me that cryptocurrencies and the blockchain are that system. This new economic system would eventually use the IMF’s SDR basket as a king of bridging a one world currency, which they referred to as the “Phoenix.” Though, some people claim that the SDR itself is not a currency, Globalists apparently disagree.

Within The Economist publication, it is also hinted that the role of the U.S. as an economic center for the world and the role of the dollar as the world reserve currency will have to be diminished in order to clear a path for the new world order system (thanks, Donald?). We see this already taking place now, as we are both witnessing and experiencing an economic crisis which could easily collapse equity markets, bond markets, as well as the reserve status of the dollar itself. According to an economist, Stephen Roach, it could crumble at ‘warp speed.’ I’d go as far as saying that we, as a global entity, are going to witness a stock market crash any day now.

The IMF has already stated that anonymity from government oversight is unacceptable. Any central bank cryptocurrency will have to ensure that private exchange is limited, and that centralized surveillance of transactions is warranted and necessary. What is failed to be mentioned, is that blockchain technology is already set up for government surveillance. It always has been. The very fabric of the blockchain requires that transactions are added to the ledger in order for the system to function. There is a built-in excuse for surveillance.

Now, we can question how exactly the IMF plans to attach the SDR basket to a crypto framework. I expect that this will be a process of slow adaptations that suddenly erupt as a swift answer within the midst of public panic. The “everything bubble” created by central banks over the past decade will pop at some point. The Federal Reserve (which Trump essentially became the head of through merging the U.S Treasury and Federal Reserve) in particular has been enthusiastic about cutting off all stimulus measures, dumping assets from their balance sheets, and raising interest rates into economic weakness during the worst consumer and corporate debt environment since 2008. This public panic took place as the Covid-19 pandemic. This is the 2020 global phenomenon, allowing for the Hegelian Dialectic to ensue…again.

Problem -> Reaction -> Solution.

I suggest that the IMF already has a cryptocurrency mechanism ready to replace the dollar as the world reserve currency, and that it will be infused into the SDR basket at the height of the coming crash. The fact that the IMF has been introducing central bank cryptocurrency talking points over the past few years, and specifically the last few months, indicates to me that the crash is imminent.

Allow me to introduce Ripple, a San-Francisco based Financial Technology (FinTech) Company, and it’s native cryptocurrency XRP. Taken from their website, “Ripple is a universal payment system enabling users to transfer funds across national boundaries as seamlessly as sending an email. Ripple enables peer-to-peer transaction settlement across a decentralized network of computers. Ripple interconnects all the world’s disparate financial systems to enable the secure transfer of funds.” In their own words, sighted from their Q1 2020 Report they state, “Customers continue to see the value of XRP through significant cost-savings by eliminating the need to pre-fund international accounts.”

The XRP liquidity is the lifeblood of Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) for cross-border payments and it’s positioning itself within the industry as the most powerful and wholesome Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). XRP will serve as a vehicle currency. It is an asset without a counterpart (possibly other than Stellar’s XLM or XinFinity’s XDC) and plays the role of a bridge currency between exotic gateways. This is pretty much the role of USD in exotic forex markets.

Though, I will not use this time to explain the connections between Ripple, the IMF, and other various companies that will spark interest. I invite you to discover how they intertwine. My role here is to shine light in other ways. To be a beacon of light in the dark. Online, there are many resources to follow that guide you towards what you may be searching for (See: Bearable Bull, Kevin Cage, Digital Asset Investor, and others). That may be a start.

It seems as if our data is now more important than oil. Those who can produce and provide the most data to those in power will be the most wealthy.

To summarize, cryptocurrencies are built upon an establishment designed framework, and they are entirely dependent on establishment created and controlled vehicles (the internet and energy) in order to function and perpetuate trade. This is not decentralization, nor, will anything reliant on an establishment created entity become decentralized.

Today, there are very few steps required for the establishment to accomplish complete financial tyranny in global trade: that is to disconnect the people fully from private transactions and connect their data to one ultimate power. In other words, we must be tricked into going digital, where privacy is an absurd, distant memory (did video games help?). According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), by 2030 the entire world should be interconnected through digital means. Digital Economics, part of this incoming virtual reality, is appealing for several reasons, most of them I would consider unhealthy. Keep in mind, The World Economic Forum is based in Cologny, Geneva Canton, Switzerland, and is an international non-governmental organization (NGO), founded in 1971. The WEF’s mission is stated as “committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas.” The information they provide is something to pay attention to.

Complete information awareness is the goal here, and blockchain technology helps the Globalists remove one of the last obstacles, private personal trade. In truth, the digital economy is not legitimate decentralization. It is currently being utilized as a weapon of mass distraction, engineered to kill legitimate decentralization.

To maintain a real economy in which humanity and the people are self-reliant and safe from fiscal (or resource based) shock, we need three basic things, although hard to accomplish.

  1. Tangible, Localized, & Truly Decentralized Production
  2. Independent and Decentralized trade networks that are not structured around an establishment controlled system
  3. The Will to apply force; to protect and preserve production and trade networks

If we cannot develop or physically create a useful resource, repair a useful resource, and/or teach a useful skill for evolution, then we are essentially useless in a real economy. If we do not have localized trade, we have nothing. If we do not have a mindset that is universally, individually, and self-actualized, we have chaos. If we do not have the community of independent, personally response(able) people to protect our local production, then we will not be able to keep the economy we have built.

I believe this is true: the current “solutions” that are being proposed to combat the current global financial crisis only benefits those that caused the crisis. Those positioned to suffer the most as a result of the crisis, like the middle class, lower class, poor, and indebted people, will have a very hard time recovering from such tragedy. It will bring us all deeper into the debt cycle, trapping us in the established matrix. The proposed solutions that are presented by our “trusted” centralized governments only symbolize the multigenerational goals of the global elite.

It is critical that we all utilize our power, our unity, and especially our love, to challenge these proposed “solutions” of the elitist agenda. Through active nonviolent resistance, we can begin to take steps towards a secure, peaceful, and resourceful future. I believe that, as humans, our purpose is to enlighten each other, as we not only emanate both wisdom and love, but draw each other near through our own free will, resonating with our destinies. Internalizing and self-actualizing human power and destiny is to truly understand the gifts of our heart and our mind. We each possess the power to think critically about ourselves and our own lives and it is imperative that we begin to utilize this ability with the aim of freedom, questioning our destiny.

Where are we from?

Where are we going?

Anything that denies our freedom, light, and immortality, denies what it is for us to be alive.

So far, it’s as if we have neglected the patterns of history which are the keys to understanding the current and future events that take place, as our history continues to repeat. The distortion of world history has indeed made us vulnerable to various forms of psychological warfare. Do we just blindly leave our future in the hands of transhumanists and technocrats?

And yet, how exactly does this interplay between wealth production and a new world order created by Globalists relate to the Quant Network and the current Digital Revolution that humanity is in the midst of experiencing? Is there any way that we, as a common people, can take advantage of our understanding of the past as we move into the future?

I will repeat with how I began just to bridge the gap:

“Throughout time and space, at least within humanity’s recorded history, those who hold the most wealth are those who control the means of wealth production. To preserve it, those who produce wealth work with the entities in power to designate and impose specific standards and rules. If we, as individuals, take the time to research and take note of the evolution of our species, we can see that this has arguably occurred across all civilizations.”

Here are the reasons I believe The Quant Network will be a major player in the global digital economy:

1: The main institution in control of issuing global standards and rules is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization. In 1946, within the city of London, 65 delegates from 25 countries met to discuss the future of International Standardization. Now, it is based in Geneva, Switzerland (quite close to the WEF…) and stands as a network that decides the general rules that all of our countries abide by. Quant’s Founder and CEO, Gilbert Verdian, is the author behind the Blockchain ISO Standard TC307. ISO TC307 is the global blockchain standardization initiative. Gilbert Verdian, according to his Crunchbase profile, “…is building the Internet of Trust by converging Blockchain and Cybersecurity as the Founder and CEO of Quant Network, tasked with connecting the world’s networks to blockchains. Having over 20 years of industry experience and C-level accountability, he has worked across Government in Downing St, HM Treasury, Cabinet Office, Ministry of Justice and NSW Health and private sector at CSC, EY, and HSBC… (he) is the Chair of the UK’s national committee on Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT/1). He also sits on committees in the Federal Reserve, the EU’s Blockchain Observatory, PayUK’s Cybersecurity board, and UK Government’s DLT committees.”

By not only being connected with the Federal Reserve (those who produce money) with ISO TC307 (those who hold the power to create the rules), I’d say that Gilbert Verdian and his QNT play a large role in what is to come.

2: The Quant Network, and its cryptocurrency, QNT, is considered to be a healthy investment based on both supply and risk (this is not financial advice). This attracts all types of investors. The healthier the digital investment, the higher the chance it has at becoming a mainstay among the digital industry. Now, there are only 14,612,493 whole QNT tokens. We can break it down vs. fully diluted supplies of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Chainlink (LINK). This means QNT holds 70% supply vs BTC, 13% of ETH’s current supply, 0.014% of XRP, and 1.4% of LINK. At this time, all QNT has been minted, no inflation will arise, and Quant Network holds about 10% of the supply. According to another post on Medium about Quant, based on a Utility Valuation Model, “…QNT token will be around $13,000 per token and Overledger will be facilitating around 20 Trillion transactions annually by 2030–2031 with the market cap of around $190B. This implies QNT is massively under-valued at the moment as the current discounted expected utility value should be around $77.” The current price stands around $13.00 during the time of this writing. As an investment, this sounds extremely healthy, and when accompanied by the other information available about the digital market and future of our economy, QNT is economically and politically positioned to become a powerhouse. This is a project that has managed to gain mass adoption from the worlds largest institutions and will be, in my opinion, one of the most valuable and least risky cryptocurrencies to hold for the next decade along with XRP and a few other coins. It’s all about utility. If the Quant Network is the quantum (Quant…um) network that is capable of providing the interoperability to all distributed ledger technologies, and at some point possibly capable of disrupting all encryption, I’m considering the price possibilities compared to the popular BTC (especially if the SHA-256 hash function loses its relevance). If, in fact, data is more important than oil, I can imagine that QNT, a network of seemingly endless quantum capabilities, will be utilized at some point, possibly as “The One To Rule Them All.” This means that, in the future, owning even a few QNT may be highly advantageous.

3: The utility of QNT, in the grand scheme of the new global order, stands above the rest. At some point within 2021, QNT will be releasing their Overledger Network (OVN). According to Quant’s blog, “The Overledger Network is made up of many gateways. Each gateway connects and allows access to a resource such as a distributed ledger, data or API. Developers can then use the Overledger Network to consume functionality from any gateway connected resource. For every resource used, there will be an associated price. The community treasury allows developers to pay gateway owners QNT to use their resources. As QNT is on the Ethereum blockchain, the community treasury uses uni-directional payment channels to vastly increase transaction throughput as well as minimizing transaction fee cost. Therefore each developer has a uni-directional payment channel open to the community treasury, the community treasury has a uni-directional payment channel open to each gateway and the community treasury is responsible for routing payments between the developer and gateway channels.” With Quant’s Overledger, they have the ability to harness the power of multiple ledgers. Quant’s Overledger is the only platform that facilitates the development of decentralized, multi-chain applications (mApps). Not only does it utilize its functions of interoperability for connecting existing blockchains to one another (interconnecting possibilities with just 3 lines of code), it also connects to existing networks, itself. With their Trust Tag, Quant will allow the protection of sensitive and valuable content while providing a visibility of data that draws no comparisons. It is directly connected to the “Enterprise 5” such as, Corda, Hyperledger, Ethereum, JPM Quorum, and Ripple. It is also connected to public permissionless blockchains such as NEO, IOTA, Stellar and Bitcoin. People all over the world will have the ability to build game changing applications with no additional infrastructure, using Quant’s existing resources, and will have the choice of interoperability in as little as 8 minutes.

4: Quant’s partnerships, identified on their website, shows how far the company’s reach has spread throughout the globe. They are partnered with ORACLE, PayUK, The LINUX Foundation, AccordProject, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Global Legal Blockchain Consortium, UKCloud, Hyperledger (partners with Ripple, The Ethereum Foundation, IOHK), NVIDIA, amongst so many others. These companies, when realized, are some of the largest and most powerful companies within the technological and financial industries. In addition, the fact that Quant Network is located in London plays a large role in its positioning for the New World Order Agenda. The City of London is part of the global finance regime, controlled by the Rothschild’s. It is not part of the United Kingdom (UK), similar to how Washington D.C. (where Ripple also has an additional office) and the U.S. Federal Reserve are not parts of the United States. In addition to The Vatican City, these are entities out of the grasps of being checked, and work hard to establish and maintain their power to control the human population.

5: As I have already mentioned, data has been identified as something even more important to the agenda than oil. The world is becoming increasingly digital, and the process is only speeding up. According to the World Economic Forum in one of their insight reports, “As the Fourth Industrial Revolution unfolds, led by advances in technologies such as data science and artificial intelligence, the labour market is again changing in a fundamental fashion. In 2018 the Future of Jobs Survey and Report revealed that business leaders believe that by 2022, human workers and automated processes are set to share the workload of current tasks equally, while a range of new roles is expected to emerge simultaneously as digital innovation is absorbed across industries and regions. In particular, in many large advanced and emerging markets, growth is expected in sectors that will experience the bulk of these new roles, such as information technology, renewable energy, education and the care economy, and in occupations such as data science, healthcare work and human resources. While the new labour market is changing at a rapid pace, emerging data sources are shedding light on its composition with a new depth and dynamism that has not previously existed. Online platforms and specialized insight firms are now offering new and complementary ways to understand how specific skills, tasks and occupations are changing across industries and geographies. While many of these remain limited to specific populations — and difficult to compare and contrast — when coupled with traditional and qualitative sources of data, they can help businesses, policymakers and workers have greater analytic capacity about the present and future of work and adopt better informed and coordinated business strategies and policies.”

The WEF solidifies the importance of data by continuing, “It has become commonplace to refer to data as the ‘new oil’ of the global economy. Data scientists are the talent that provide the ability to extract, refine and deploy this new source of value in the global economy. This Report focuses on data science, among the most competitive skills of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in collaboration with Burning Glass Technologies, LinkedIn and Coursera to shed light on how data science talent is being developed and deployed across today’s labour market. In the first wave of digitization, data could be seen as purely a by-product of the functioning of digital applications, operating systems and platforms. Data is now increasingly recognized as a significant asset enabling further innovation across ancillary fields such as artificial intelligence, which can drive the improvement of services through process efficiency and deliver better results for customers. The dividends of new sources of data and methods of processing are not limited to the private sector; the public sector increasingly uses data to improve government services and academia applies new methods to enhance research. Yet the rapid rise in the demand for workers with skills in data science has led to a shortfall in data science skills supply and intense competition between industry, academia and the public sector for such talent. This has created a high premium on such skills and has reduced the capacity of businesses, industries and entire economies to leverage fully the dividends of innovation.” I wont get into the details of AI, but this is something also worth noting.

Quant will have access to dominating this arena. By acting as the interoperable solution to all existing, and yet to exist, blockchains, it will have access to the flow of all data. When there is an entity that has the ability to access all data, especially when data is becoming one of the most valuable resources on the globe, I’d always consider that we investigate deeper. While the industry grows, the ability for Quant to flourish expands.

Quant has the ability to bring massive change to a truly outdated, corrupt financial and capital market infrastructure, and I truly feel that interoperability will be at the foundation of this revolution. QNT, as a leader in blockchain interoperability, truly has uncapped growth potential moving into the future. This is all about creating a Quantum Network that connects all consciousness — awareness in one.

Yet, haven’t I just discussed that a quantum computer that connects all data would be problematic for humanity? I did. Yet, I also identified, through the title of this piece, that I was not only waking up to something that seems to be a war on our freedom, but I also identified that I have essentially been experiencing cognitive dissonance over the matter. My behaviors and beliefs do not seem to align.

I own QNT. I own XRP. I own cryptocurrency because there is a high chance that it is our future, regardless of what I do. I invest in crypto for my yet to be born child because I don’t know what world they will be like when they are my age. I also believe that QNT can become one of the greatest tools in the downfall of man, corresponding to AI. Is this just the next fall, after Lucifer? Is there even a happy medium?

Truly, I believe that the idea of blockchain and investing in cryptocurrency is a mental game. This market (and our future), will have us back and forth more than we can truly stomach without becoming ill. I say this so that we prepare ourselves the best we can. We equip ourselves with the knowledge, wisdom, and love of the past to move forward while also acknowledging where we may be headed. My intention is to prepare us all for what may be next to come.

So, I’d say that the first step is to always delegate resources wisely. If this means picking a dollar amount we are comfortable with losing and investing this into QNT, or XRP, or any other crypto you may believe in, I recommend it. This investing game, this movement into the digital economy is all speculative. This is only the beginning.

I’d also suggest that we research on our own, which assets may be the best investment for our future. This may mean that we may buy land where we can grow our own food, accompanied by those who we know align with our views. This may mean that we buy a small low-key property and build a shelter on it that is self-sustainable and not connected to the grid. This may also mean that we find 100% clarity on a narrative we expect will drive a specific asset higher (as I did with QNT). In this case, I identified that cryptocurrency is one type of asset yet to be adopted on a massive scale, so proceed wisely. I suspect that most cryptocurrencies will fail (and or become regulated) in the end, and only a few will survive. I also suspect that global “regulations” will be enforced which indirectly force us to require a Digital ID to even access our funds, travel, go to school, enter stores, access our health records, or even participate in every day life. Again, proceed wisely.

Now, you may be asking yourself: What’s next?

The next step, I believe will be to stay patient and wait. We wait until digital regulations move forward and continue to learn how we can fill ourselves with love and wisdom, enough so that we can share it with others. Fortunately, we have the choice and ability to keep learning, realizing what it means “to be.” I invite all of us to take the next step forward, searching for truth amongst the lies and deceit, self-actualizing who we are and where we fit in this experience.

I hope that we as a collective can continue to strive for absolute freedom.

Thank you so much for your time. I intend to create a dialogue by sharing my research— so please, I encourage all of you to share your thoughts, opinions, or research that can contribute to the evolution of humanity.
