Roger Ver is an early adopter of bitcoin and has invested in foundational cryptocurrency startups such as BitPay, Blockchain.info and Purse.io.

When we interviewed Roger for the ZapChain Bitcoin Show, we asked him about the low price of bitcoin as of late.

But in Roger’s mind, if bitcoin becomes popular in just one industry it could be worth tens of thousands per every single coin.

This is what he said:

“We’ll compare this to Amazon.

Amazon.com grosses $38 billon a year. Assuming a 3% transaction fee, Amazon pays $1 billion a year in credit card transaction fees.  Continue reading . . .

Narcissus And Goldmund [Audio]

“Logic and emotion. Language and image. Discipline and instinct. In his classic 1930 novel, Narcissus and Goldmund, Herman Hesse captures the essence of the duality of the human spirit.” – J Corbett

But while this duality is everywhere evident within us and those around us, is there a higher level of consciousness that combines both Narcissus’ and Goldmunds’ strengths? Is that the answer to the problems posed by fear, authority and tyranny? This month Tjeerd Andringa of the University of Groningen joins James for another fascinating dissection of a classic piece of literature.

The Only Language Israel Understands

IsraelBullyCartoonIsraeli atrocity and imposed misery continues unchecked in Gaza. This summer’s wholesale slaughter did nothing to improve the lives of Palestinians. In Gaza, its much worse.

As explored in last week’s Press TV article, an examination of the list of crimes committed against the Gaza population, just since the advent of this New Year, shows clearly six obvious conclusions. 1) Horrific Israeli aggression against Gazans continues daily, 2) Israel has no intention of honoring the terms of the August, 2014 cease-fire agreement, 3) at the peace table, neither Israel, Egypt, nor the Palestinian Authority, is actually pursuing peace for Gaza, 4) politicians across the globe continue to submit to Israeli pressure, not to their conscience, 5) Gazans are, this moment, suffering terribly and, 6) the world, this world, comprised of something better: a sense of justice, a sense of right and wrong, one with actual morals, guts and true courage, has had enough of Israel’s excuses for embracing and promoting pure evil.

All these details lead ultimately to the two most important conclusions; by necessity Hamas is back; stronger than ever and, because all these first six have been deliberately and maliciously perpetrated by Israel: there will be war, again, in Gaza!

A bully such as Israel, filled only with the artificial bluster of unjustified, free stocks of US weapons and unfettered US support, understands only one message, a bare knuckled punch to the head, shocking the bully to his own single, shocking awakening: his opponent is now willing to fight back!

The bully, once defeated, rarely comes back for more. Continue reading

A New Worldview Is Consciously Evolving Humanity

There is a profound shift in consciousness occurring. This shift is part of the intentional evolution of human consciousness by members of the human race far and wide across this planet we call Earth. By being mindful of our thoughts, we are able to shape our reality in a number of different ways.

The Buddha said that “we are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” Such statements reflect the reality of focused and intentional thoughts shaping the reality in which we find ourselves in on a daily basis. They display the power of our consciousness in the assisting in the overall evolution of the transpersonal consciousness of humanity.

When the Buddha also stated that everything that we are is the result of the thought-forms we have created and projected, one thing he showed us was that we have the ability to continue our evolution, both personal and transpersonal, until we become fully enlightened and Self-realized. By being mindful of what thought-forms we create, we are able to become an integral part of the evolution of the interconnected transpersonal consciousness of humanity.

Every manifestation of the Infinite Sea that comprises the totality of reality goes through its evolutionary process. In the domain of human consciousness, there is an evolution that can be seen as well. One must only compare the human being from 10,000 years ago (from limited archeological records) with the human being today and see that the higher levels of consciousness, which became accessible after basic physiological and psychological needs were satisfied, were being experienced more and more as the human race moved into the future.
