Block-Chains
Technology is a double-edged sword.
It works for us and against us.
It increases communication and also isolation.
It saves us time. It wastes our time.
It brings us together. It rips us apart
people with unparalleled freedom or facilitate humanity's total enslavement.
In recent weeks, I've noticed people becoming aware of the possible dangers blockchain technology could pose and how it could be used as a tool of subjugation.
There are already signs that that banksters and power elite are executing plans to infiltrate, manipulate and subvert blockchain technologies.
Goldman Sachs backed Circle has just bought Poloniex and there are sure to be more major moves to infiltrate the cryptosphere, manipulate the markets, gain influence, flood the market with government backed cryptocurrencies, mimic decentralization and initiate deliberate attempts to crash the markets, all in an effort to regain complete control of the financial sector and world economy.
Still, others openly speculate if cryptocurrencies themselves, and the promise of freedom that comes with them, are nothing more than a technological trojan horse planned in advance by the NWO and quietly introduced to usher in a world currency.
Perhaps, even a case of predictive programming as the Rothschild publication The Economist indicated 30 years ago.

Another corker of a contest buddy.
I used to write mostly fiction but now only bother for your contests buddy.
I’m looking forward to seeing the entries in this one. It’s interesting how the dirtbags that control the current economic paradigm are leeching their way into the blockchain space, maybe they’ve been there the whole time.
You’re gonna have a lot of work to do V, I reckon a lot of folks are gonna have a go at this one.
I’m in dude, resteemed.

Many of mankind's greatest technologies started as tools of liberation, only to be bastardized by one elite social order or another to subjugate the masses.
The printing press once liberated our minds from the dogma of the middle ages, now we have mass media. Capitalism, banks, and the merchant classes once helped remove Western Civilization out from under thumb of the Church and Monarchs, now we have a corporate ruling class and banking cartels that buy and sell our leaders like used cars.
I've always been skeptical over the claim that blockchain is inherently good. Every tool of liberation can sew the seeds of oppression. Tech is tech, it's all in how we use it.
Fiction and cautionary tales allow us to look into the future and anticipate the traps and devices before they use it on us. Think Orwell. Think Huxley. I wish I had the time to commit to this contest, as I think it's the most important conversation to be had here on steemit.
My sincere thanks to @v4vapid for bringing this to the forefront. And to all the contestants, best of luck.

I will definitely be entering; I'm in the midst of revisions right now :)
Over on The Writers Block, some of the folks that run contests will make a spreadsheet with links of all the contest entries to keep them all in one place, then you can add your notes/thoughts to each entry in another column, mark which ones were 'funny as hell' or 'best tone' etc to match your prize categories. Then you can separate all those 'good' ones out as contenders as you go along so you can choose from them in your final pass through to select your winners.
Once you start getting dozens of entries it's hard to remember the first story you read once you get to your 50th, I'd imagine, so a spreadsheet to keep track does help.
Maybe you already do something similar anyway though :)

If there is work to do on something, why wait? I spent enough of my life procrastinating and getting nowhere.
I am not very technically capable but there is a lot of opportunity and value to come and I am hoping it is able to break the status quo. However, this also comes with risks and to ignore the negative is to be surprised when our repetitive actions lead us there. Greed is the major one as for the most part, our actions have been trained in a society dominated by it so to have different, the learned habits need to change.

I would rather not share my most brilliant ideas for world domination that I couldn’t never bring myself to use! They’ve probably thought of them already but just in case, I’d rather not egg them on!
I do love that not everyone is blindly all over blockchain like it’s the messiah. It could solve all our problems, but only if we change a whole lot about how we interact with each other and function as a society. That’s why I am here, to work towards that.
This contest is still probably a good idea as long as none of the ideas are too smart and reach those who could abuse them, it’ll wake some more people up to the potential danger soon of the blockchain. And not surprised to see @son-of-satire involved in this kind of thing :-).

Thanks for running this competition @v4vapid. As someone who works full time in the blockchain space, I'm definitely going to take part in the contest - keeping it below 2000 words may actually be difficult for me as I have a lot of theories about how blockchain may be used maliciously.
There are so many advances every day, and even things like editable blockchains that make no sense as they pull away from the ethos of blockchain technology - decentralisation.
Anyway, I'll do my entry up tomorrow as it is night time where I'm from (Ireland). By the way, I'm in a new cryptocurrency show (CryptoAM) with an ICO Bench top 5 rated expert, and posted by segment on Dtube yesterday. Would really appreciate any feedback you have on it.

I cannot come up with an expert opinion on blockchain technology as such, but the idea of having people rewarded for their online activity, whether for blogging, gaming or even watching porn, sounds a bit too good to be true. So it might be a trap.

arghhh, just saw this a day too late.
I was already planning to post on this very topic, so even if outside of contest I might post to the relevant tag in the days ahead.
Regarding the Economist cover it is debated whether the original from 30 years did really have the 2018 prediction or whether it is was photoshopped in:
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@kevinwong/the-economist-1988-s-front-cover-foretelling-a-world-currency-at-2018-is-this-true
Kevinwong uses that inconsistency to then unleash an attack on "conspiracy theorists" (I think he's a mason), but on that particular 2018 detail he has a point.
Regardless, I think we are indeed in the period where such a world currency and NWO could emerge, and the Phoenix arising from the ashes at the Olympics is another reminder for those who have eyes to see.

The Economist cover is now 100% confirmed as genuine. And it's not only the cover but also the article which tells us to expect the Phoenix for 2018. Though the alternative to the Phoenix is even more terrifyng...

Before I announced the contest, I was wondering if anyone might focus on Steemit in one way or another. I think a lot of what you wrote about is on the minds of many Steemians and I thank you for 'going there'. The discussion between you and @lukestokes is a very healthy exchange. I couldn't have asked for more in terms of honesty and I think you made some great points about the heirarchical nature of the platform and systemic greed.
Thank you, very valuable piece and I hope people take time to take a minute to check it out and to see what you're up to on the development side!

Super interesting style of contest. I've been curious what creative minds think of the implications of blockchain, and thoroughly support the exploration of these ideas. The point about the Olympics essentially raises the question of what can symbols be encoded with? For instance, a triangle means so many things to different people, so one organization using it as a symbol doesn't necessarily mean that triangles are solely representative of their motives. I would say the same might hold true of the phoenix/thunder bird archetype symbol. But, it is an interesting point to speculate about ;) I'll see if I can make some time to write an entry for this, and I'll be following along for future creative writing contests as well.

It's interesting to read all other entries. But some of them only explains what is blockchain without any mention of a conspiracy in it. But others are highly innovative. Thanks @v4vapid for making them write such an interesting stuff through this contest.

Thanks for hosting this, I'm sat here desparateley formulating ideas because this seems like it'd be highly entertaining to write.
I've written a couple of funny things and I've done a conspiracy here on steemit.. maybe I'll try to combine the two..

Now this is my kind of contest. Unfortunately, I noticed it too late and won’t have time to write it. I’ve actually been trying to think up a good sci-fi conspiracy story based on crypto currency and other technologies cropping up now. If I have a sudden inspiration from my paranoid juices, I’ll send it your way! If not I’ll keep my eyes out for the next one

@v4vapid hasn't been knighted so I need to call him sir. I'll take a punt & say that I don't think he'd accept a knighthood from the parasitic evil Queen Elizabeth anyway.
I agree with you though. 'It' really is interesting. Two letters that form a word & an acronym (Information Technology).
Good word choice ;-)

What a writing prompt. I think I spent most of the day think and researching the various angles for how the blockchain can enslave, and finally have an idea. Definitely entering. I will admit, the prizes are so tempting, but the idea is just as much. Thanks for hosting this!

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #37. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
