They will choose 1 to inevitably end up at 2.
Writing science fiction today, I believe to be less of a challenge than what it was 30 to 50 years ago. Much of what was imagined back then is a feasably realistic possibility if not a mainstream adopted technology now.
That means that writers don't have to spend so much time defining their worlds and can get to story telling, leaving much of the world/universe building to the imagination of the reader.
As a reader I found that I was always able to easily adapt my idea of the world as soon as new information about it is revealed.
That is why I believe that narrative driven world building is more interesting to read than explanatory world building.
In Frank Herbert's Dune he spent too much time trying to explain the ecology, landscape, weather patterns, environment etc.
It got to the point where I was like dude. "I can imagine an alien desert with giant worms and water worshipping natives." LFG already.
Anyway If you don't have mild ADHD please read my scifi story with this narrative driven world building in mind and see if it works for you. Let me know what you think if you feel inclined.
An antagonist with redemptive qualities make for a better story.
Think Gollum vs Sauron.
A story cannot be written about pure evil but around it otherwise human conscious observers would not be able to relate to the antagonists drive to do the obviously wrong and self serving thing.
Mankind and their lust for power and illusions of grandeur is a bigger threat to Middle earth. Elves are indifferent and reactionary. Dwarves are greedy. Hobbits are small. These are the more interesting "antagonistic forces" which allows the story to have progression and scope in it's urgency.
Bitcoin fixes this.
With fire in His eyes and a sword in His mouth,
or like a thief in the night,
or like lightning, you saw the flash from the corner of your eye but did not see the actual bolt, then you hear the unmistakable thunder.
How He comes we do not know, when he comes we can only guess, but of His coming we are certain because the word is true and the interpretation of it is certain.
Because the past keeps harrasing us.
Tch... I mean the present.
Think critically. If you (an independant entity) owed me (an independant entity) money and could not pay me. I would fuck your shit up like the mafia to get my money back.
But... If I wasted money I got for free (from others) I will forgive myself every time.
Obviously the Federal Reserve is pretending that it is not the government. They are the unelected elites.
Basically they are the proffesional ass kissers who aspire to one day have their asses kissed harder.
Bunch of losers.
If the Federal Reserve is private and independant why would they have strong opinions about permanent government deficits?
If burning books is bad. Taking down the internet archive is a sin.
I buy bitcoin to retain my sanity.

It does not work so well when you wipe your ass but you still get satisfaction for some reason.
Don't have a number. I am not there yet. Soon though.
It's not about belief. Few believe. It's about being too cowardly to call them out on their lie,
Being lied to is very insulting, it should provoke ridicule and scorn so that they who associate with they institution feel embarrased and ashamed.
Oh. I misunderstood,
