Our mission:
make claims checkable,
so trust can exist,
so value can exist,
so more people can stay winners.
Projects use it to stand behind the mint, lock identity before launch, and show burns that actually reduce supply.
Traders use it to filter. Profit for you is the point.

Haha, well, the eunuchs... that's actually a pretty interesting part of history. ๐
You know, what happened with Huang is basically the perfect example why rulers came up with the idea of eunuchs in the first place. Men getting into trouble because they can't control their sexual desires. And when power, women and potentially even espionage come together, things can get pretty ugly.
So what did they do back then? Cut the problem off. Literally. ๐
And yes, that probably solved some problems. No unwanted pregnancies, less risk of sexual relations within the royal household, at least that was the idea.
But did it really solve the problem of human nature?
Look at ancient Persia. There was this powerful eunuch called Bagoas, who allegedly poisoned kings, manipulated succession and practically decided who would sit on the throne. And interesting enough, Alexander the Great also had a eunuch named Bagoas, a different one, who was reportedly his lover. So even the idea that castration automatically eliminates sexual desire doesn't quite work.
Or take imperial China. Some eunuchs became incredibly powerful, controlling information, influencing emperors, getting involved in political intrigues and corruption. Some were excellent administrators, others abused their positions terribly.
And it wasn't just China. You find eunuchs throughout Persian, Byzantine and Ottoman history. Even India has its hijra tradition today, although that's a different cultural and gender identity and not simply the same thing as those historical castrated court officials.
So basically, we tried to fix one human weakness by physically changing people. And what happened? We opened another Pandora's box. ๐
You might reduce certain sexual risks, sure. But greed? Jealousy? Hunger for power? Manipulation? Spying? Betrayal?
None of that magically disappears just because a man has lost his balls.
And that's exactly where I see the problem with Huang. Let's assume he hadn't been interested in those women. Would that have made him immune to manipulation or espionage? Of course not. Someone could still get to him through money, ambition, ego or whatever else.
Now about your AI idea... that's actually the more interesting question. I can absolutely imagine AI taking over quite a few management decisions in the future.
But who controls that AI? Who decides what it should achieve? And what happens when somebody manipulates the information it receives?
We might end up replacing a CEO who can't control his libido with an AI that perfectly follows the interests of whoever controls it. ๐
Not sure that's necessarily an improvement.
So yeah, I don't think we need to bring back eunuchs, and I wouldn't automatically trust women more than men either. History has enough examples of both doing pretty stupid things once they get into power.
Maybe the real problem was never what's between someone's legs, but what happens inside their head once they have too much power and nobody can stop them.
And AI won't magically solve that either. ๐
You want eunuchs coming back to our world? Are you serious? Didn't you learn from history?
Iam seriously not getting castrated just to run a company. And after all, shouldn't be sexual life be your private life after all?
Next you come with the woke "it/them" as argument?
Most logical would be AI in humanoid dress. Or just a regular orang utan would fix the issue maybe...?
What you would seriously choose to lead an stock company nowadays? Honest answer
@AntiRuggers Yep, looks like. Women's in power is always a bad idea. See Elisabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, Angelika Merkel and and and... Dooms day is near. โ
verification canโt be bought.
visibility can.
thatโs the line we keep coming back to.
paying for a review or a boost never changes the evidence that was or wasnโt there.
curious if that distinction even matters to people or if most just want the green check.
most of us have watched a project look fine on the surface and still felt something was off later.
burns looked clean. claims sounded normal.
still didnโt sit right.
trying to build the place where you can actually see what got checked, when it was checked, and what still couldnโt be verified.
not a badge that gets better if someone pays.
@saylor We are looking forward to see the digital bank built on decentralized digital currencies lift off, you have here one of the biggest supporters for this new world order.
