The Bitcoin network is an open and permissionless protocol with an insatiable appetite and buying capability. "You can't have mass production without mass distribution. You can't have mass distribution without mass consumption. You can't have mass consumption without mass buying capability. We need a broad spectrum of those who could participate." —Buckminster Fuller @Jeff Booth

Bucky and Satoshi both understood the existing system increasingly relied on trust, and that it could be taken advantage of: "As time is saved by progress, and time is in everything, all material products of industry must necessarily become lighter and lighter. It is worthy of note that this will be definitely reflected in the mirror of economic progress, the stock market, provided the time savings progress is balanced by the increase in good faith, and may be taken advantage of by those who intelligently acquaint themselves of this fact." —Bucky

Satoshi has the fingerprints of a Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Scientist. "Designing the new [time-energy] accounting system is the task of the Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Scientist." —Bucky

"Elimination of war can only be realized through a design and invention revolution." -R. Buckminster Fuller

Bucky often referred to himself as a "trimtab"—a small rudder that can change the course of a large ship with a small amount of force. It was his analogy for how any single person can start to make a big difference. Satoshi put this into practice.

Bucky understood there is a gestation rate for ideas and inventions. “Even after ‘discovery,’ inventions often remain popularly unrecognized and unemployed for long periods.” —Bucky

Satoshi understood Comprehensive Anticipatory design science. "Designing the new accounting system is the task of the Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Scientist." —R. Buckminster Fuller

Bucky understood we had a solution; it just wasn't widely understood yet. That is beginning to change. "Lack of knowledge of the solution's existence often leaves humanity confounded when it need not be." —Bucky

Bucky understood tools are amoral: "The military also buys soap and water, but that doesn’t mean soap and water must be boycotted by those who hate war. They also buy pencils, and it’s perfectly clear to me that a man could use a pencil as a dagger or he could write a prescription to save a child’s life. So how tools are used is not the responsibility of the inventor." —Bucky

Bucky understood how a system designed for failure will drive people to altcoin casinos: "The deep-seated proclivity of humans to gamble their monies is founded on the working assumption of human consciousness that individuals are inherently programmed for failure and that only cultivated luck can divert the individual from his negative plight." —Bucky

Bucky understood our monetary system was upstream of our energy problem. "How much of our energy problem is the result of our accounting system?" "Our present accounting system is at the roots of the energy problems of today." —Bucky

Do your own thinking. Don't trust; verify. "I say I never try to tell anybody else what to do, number one. And number two, I think that’s what the individual is all about. Each one of us has something to contribute. This really depends on each one doing their own thinking, but not following any kind of rule that I can give out, any command. We’re all on the frontier, we’re all in a great mystery–incredibly mysterious. Each one possesses exactly what each one is working out, and what each one works out relates to their particular set of circumstances of any one day, or any one place around the world." —Bucky

Bucky understood how important and valuable ideas were: "There is no loss so great as that brought about by the procrastination and loss of an idea."

Bucky understood the problem with the existing monetary system was its reliance on increased good faith (trust). "As time is saved by progress, and time is in everything, all material products of industry must necessarily become lighter and lighter. It is worthy of note that this will be definitely reflected in the mirror of economic progress, the stock market, provided the time savings progress is balanced by the increase in good faith, and may be taken advantage of by those who intelligently acquaint themselves of this fact."

"The very word 'inflation' is a deliberately deceptive term adopted to exploit the easily misguided human reflex conditioning. It was spontaneously chosen to obscure the fact that all non-holders of corporate shares are being legally robbed." —Bucky

Its permission-less. No one is stopping you. "And this is not a matter of an examination of the types of governments, nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with economic systems. It has to do with the individual. Does the individual have the courage to really go along with the truth?" —Bucky

Bucky understood knowledge is the antidote to fear: “The many who are not literate about what’s going on will be terribly scared.”
