We’re making our way through Oregon, and now into California, on our way to Ontario to a presentation and training for Vista Network, a Glendale-based crypto asset growth company that is about to launch the second of a 4-phase introduction.
We’ll see their “mini-miner” product in actual operation, meet the founders, and visit the offices during our visit.
Over the past few weeks people have come to Vista’s offices from across American and around the world to see how “real” it is. Bitcoin and its alt-coin progeny has, for the first time in history, given THE PEOPLE a way to choose how THEY wish to store and exchange they’re value.
We have grown accustomed to thinking that “money” has value, but only to the extent that (1) people use it, and (2) it is neutral; i.e., there are no external, artificial or arbitrary mechanisms exist that can usurp or otherwise manipulate value without the owners consent. Of course people still use Federal Reserve Notes; we’ve had no choice in the U.S. for over 100 years. However, as a store of value, the system has holes, the size of which are subject to both regulatory actions and whims, as well as fractional reserve practices.
What might be called “terror psychology” has served as a red herring to allow banking and government sectors (long-time partners) to, with an air of justification, “batten down the hatches”, and set up sentinels to monitor who’s playing in the crypto sandbox (KYC=know your customer). This, in part, is because actual transactions are difficult to track and even harder to crack.
The IRS has just announced that it has established a “task force” to “go after” crypto asset “profiteer/evaders.” The system has lost any pretense of serving “The People”.
No one here today has any experience on how to change a system of governance outside of the violent/overthrow method, which is not my style. But governmental initiatives are trending toward “more” of “less”. Notice the use of the terms “clamp down”, “tighten,” “restrict” with regard to many activities. Notice how harmless activities are stigmatized or criminalized (e.g., FDA ramping up a campaign against homeopathy.) Harmful, health-damaging practices from 200 years ago continue to be enforced in spite of being unsupported scientifically. Debt, divisiveness and disease, threats, fighting, and defense are prominent occupiers of public attention. In spite of being billed as “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave,” Americans are anything but... and government officials and agencies are the main fearleaders.
As it relates to Vista Network, the company’s emergence in such a time in history is of great significance; not so much for the mini-miner or its marketing strategy, but that it is OPENLY setting up operations in an environment that has shown itself to be hostile to its kind.
The hostility isn’t personal. The Lords of Money are doing their best to HODL to a dwindling mindshare, that it used to own 100%. Vista Networks’ transparency takes away one reason why so many platforms had very short life spans in 2017 or have withdrawn from operating in the U.S. while continuing to serve the rest of the world.
Vista’s technology is also a potential game changer in the cryptocurrency mining sector. The company claims to have established a way to greatly increase the “success” rate that members of (nodes on) its mining pool will realize as the pool itself grows.
So much at stake. So much potential. So much that is unknown, but about to unfold. Having spoken with one of the company’s founders and CEO by phone, we’ll soon have a much better for the company’s potential success (MLM hyperbole notwithstanding)... and ours. Truth is, Americans need truly innovative companies like Vista Network (if the technology proves itself to be innovative). The question of its longevity, and how its story ultimately unfolds, will be known in time.
