This blog post isn't a dig against the world of Decentralization, crypto currency, and the blockchain. It is info sharing, bringing light to subjects not spoken about. A key word to describe the information is the possibility of a future with a Weaponized Block Chain Technocracy. In the best of light it is the opportunity to maximize your bodies potential, and create income, and possibly financial independence for some. A world where you could even monetize your body as a Crypto Miner.
As an example of Transhumanist Technology intertwined with the Crypto Currency Mining World. Is the The Dutch Institute of Human Obsolescence.
"The Dutch Institute of Human Obsolescence (IoHO) explores ways of producing capital through what it calls “invisible labour”.
"Exploring the potential of the human body to produce capital"
"A single human body at rest radiates 100 watts of excess heat. We created a body-suit that uses thermoelectric generators to harvest the temperature differential between the human body and ambient and converts it into usable electricity. The electricity generated is then fed to a computer that produces cryptocurrency."
"We mine recently created cryptocurrencies that have more potential to grow in value."
The second aspect of the IoHO outside of using human power to crypto mine is a project that involves Human-produced data .
"Despite seemingly moving towards a society without human work, we have started to perform new forms of invisible labour. Human-produced data is a resource already extracted by Big Tech, producing vast amounts of capital. This new role that humans have taken in society is obscured by promises imposed by Big Tech. Why aren't we, the data workers, capitalising from it? If even jobless workers are generating capital by producing data, are we truly unemployed?"
I highly recommend touring their website, incredibly interesting, futuristic, with cutting edge social relevance.
Bitcoin wasn't worth over $50,000 when the Dutch Institute of Human Obsolescence in 2018 came into the public crypto mining realm. A interesting statistic on how much Human Electricity would be needed to mine one Bitcoin, which is the IoHO's reason for mining newer crypto currencies is quoted below. I wonder how the IoHO made out financially from mining after 2 years of explosive crypto growth?
"Beltrán reveals the team didn’t mine bitcoin due to the extreme difficulty to produce them with human body heat. Essentially, it would take over 4,500 individuals doing absolutely nothing but wear IoHO’s special suit all day and night to mine one single bitcoin. IoHO chose to use easier to mine coins which produced significantly better funding results.

The idea of a commercially available outfit to convert body heat into electricity to mine crypto currency while you are sleeping for 8 hours has me sold. Could this technology be weaponized? Absolutely. Imagine 10,000 convicts in a prison being forced to plug in to mine crypto currency in the future. What about people in nursing homes and hospitals? Could you turn a nursing home into a Crypto Farm with this technology? I actually waited until the end of the post to make a Matrix Analogy😃. How prophetic was the movie "The Matrix" in 1999 with the concept of Artificial Intelligence using humans as power cells?

"The Weaponized Block Chain" Episode 2 "The Bad"
Wow absolutely amazing!
Excellent work man and thank you very much for sharing these amazing thoughts
Thanks ganja, ive been blogging for a couple years, and I keep trying to develop better ways to format posts so they are short enough to read and be a fun read, and with linked information you could turn a short read into a 1/2 hour, I really appreciate the feedback, its hard to come by.
Of course man!
I got a hold of this and it was pretty interesting read. the parallels between the modern film industry transhumanism and the direction of the human race is really telling.
Resistance is futile.

Wow, Biden is actually capable of producing something of value after all, when can we strap in our politicians to this blockchain?
That was hilarious! I can picture that! While he's playing Mario kart.
I bet these politicians would even be keen on doing this, imagine how much of a budget they could run if they were producing energy for their own venture capitalist intentions with our tax dollars

A glimpse into what the future could hold for all those that lay around and collect basic income. Almost scary and almost real, real making cents or satoshi ... perhaps. Thanks for informing people about this.
It makes me think Crypto Currency is going to be a major part of our lives in the future. Instead of donating blood plasma for cash you might be performing Bitcoin transactions with your brain waves for a fee. The future could be off the chain crazy, thanks for reading my post and leaving a comment, appreciate it!
I wonder if there will be gyms that hooked people up? Then people worked out, paid to do so, all while mining ...almost as though they were swinging a pick ax at the earth in a dark hole in the ground, but they running on a tread mill.
Thanks for posting this article.
You are on to something my friend! Using the energy from treadmills and bicycles to mine for crypto, that idea could make you a millionaire!
Let go into business together. :-) Better yet ill take royalties in percentage, my usual fee is 14%. Now that we are using Hive and have all this conversation embedded into the three point Zero of the web space no one can contest that it was their idea. Here we have the Proof of Work, Proof of Time and Proof of Concept, the last quarter is Proof of Execution and fallow through management. Keep your eyes and bots alert to find when this business is implemented and we shall get the royalty deposits, in crypto of course. How does that sound to you?
I'm still on the fence regarding transhumanism though the possibility of becoming a human battery is a little bit frightening. At the same time I'm currently mining with my phone which is already very trans humanistic almost a bridge between man and machine
Thanks for reading my post and the comment, I appreciate it!
My pleasure buddy, great conversation you got going.
There are Transhumanist tech that I would honestly volunteer for. I think it always comes down to evil people and Government's will always weaponize technology. If I could research write and post content with my eyes closed laying down and be able to write onto my device with mind power sign me up! This series has me fascinated because of how important Decentralization is, and the Blockchain is fueling a noble system designed to uplift people, are the Technocrats working overtime to find new ways of control? It's a pivotal point in history.
You damn right, and we only know half of the shit really happening. Mk ultra, radiowave frequency weapons patented to literally mind control people, I mean. From that point, if you get chipped, it's just a matter of turning on a button to get you all compliant haha.
I still believe it's backed up by a bigger entity than just a "grassroot movement", and a possible darker agenda.
That's interesting but also scary. If so, I'd rather see people solve some complex algorithms with their brains as some quantum transhuman computer.
It is interesting and scary! This is all new to me in so many ways, decentralization brought me to the blockchain not crypto, I never researched to see if I could find a dark side to the world of blockchain. Blockchain education is going to be needed for the public, such a cutting edge advance that came about from decentralization, Thanks for reading the post and dropping a comment!
Excellent observations, Nate! The dark side of the Blockchain would be interfacing human brains with AI then hooking them up to the Blockchain. This would create a 'grid' most people can't even begin to imagine.
Congratulations @natepowers! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!
