Bitcoin Developer Wants To Save It With 5 ‘Monk Hackers’

[oliwerz]

Revered UK Bitcoin developer Amir Taaki wants to recruit five “preferably female” developers to live a “quasi-monastic” lifestyle in order to give Bitcoin a “vision,” Wired reports March 6.

In an interview with Wired, Taaki, who is known among the Bitcoin technical community as acentral figure in preserving the largest cryptocurrency’s original values, said he even has plans to use the “monk hackers” to effect Bitcoin- and Blockchain-powered political change - beginning in Catalonia.

“It will be like a startup accelerator, only a politicised one. Not driven by profit, but by social change,” Wired quotes him as saying during a speech in the politically troubled Spanish province.

From September 2015, Taaki spent several months fighting Isis terrorists in a Kurdish-controlled autonomous part of Northern Syria before engaging with social reconstruction while introducing inhabitants to Bitcoin.

Now, he says, reviving the spirit of Bitcoin is one step on the road to the “complete collapse of the world state system.”

“Bitcoin doesn't have any vision behind it, any vision of where it's going"

Woff, woff!

Hello @oliwerz, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

• If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
  Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
• So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
• If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
• If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
• If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶
