¿Quién es Wyatt Osgood?¿Hacia dónde se dirige el mundo financiero?La tecnología emergente ha forzado la lucha por la libertad (y el control) para adaptarse. Las batallas de hoy se libran en un ámbito digital y en todo el mundo. Los defensores de la libertad luchan por hacer valer su derecho a la privacidad, mientras que los gobiernos y las organizaciones internacionales continuan tratando de encontrar formas de controlar las transacciones que son casi invisibles. En Atlas Shrugged de Ayn Rand, Gulch de Galt era un lugar físico donde las mejores mentes podían retirarse: retirar sus habilidades y el apoyo de un sistema corrupto. Hoy en día, las tecnologías de libro mayor distribuido, como Bitcoin, permiten a cualquiera "ir a Galt" cuándo, dónde y cómo lo elijan. No hay necesidad de una tierra utópica para escapar. ¿Y qué sucede si los promotores y los agitadores, los que crean la tecnología, los que la implementan, deciden usarla para sus propios fines? ¿Y si hacen sus transacciones invisibles? ¿Qué sucede si eligen su ubicación, su profesión, las personas con las que trabajan en función de valores y méritos compartidos sin preocuparse por las sanciones o normas gubernamentales?

Calor tropical, dinheiro e luxúriaHenry Miller disse uma vez: "O destino de alguém nunca é um lugar, mas sempre uma nova maneira de ver as coisas". Acho que é por isso que, em férias prolongadas do meu trabalho de programação em Cartagena, Colômbia, deixei um expat americano rico e tagarelado me contar sua história. Não fiquei impressionado nem particularmente interessado - até conhecer a sua bela assistente e ouvir rumores de que o homem tinha um segredo obscuro. Mesmo assim, fiquei intrigado principalmente, suspeito, porque aprender a verdade era uma maneira de conhecê-la.Isso é ficção moderna, uma história de justiça vigilante de alta tecnologia. Foi inspirado por uma atmosfera tropical úmida, bebidas frias e corpos suaves e suaves. É a história de como, finalmente, a tentação de fazer justiça e satisfazer meus próprios desejos (possuir tanto o tangível quanto o intangível) superou o bom senso e talvez qualquer decência comum que eu já tive.Mas então, a traição por uma causa nobre pode ter um sabor muito doce, mesmo que no final nunca seja muito claro quem seduziu quem você ainda pode ter um final feliz.

Some things are so small...Yet some of the most important things, the really big things can seem too small to notice. Billions of events play out under our noses.Small but significant.And some are small enough to alter the world.A speculative story where the unseen and seen meet.

The nearly true story of the world's best Caribbean boat bumRon Añejo loves his carefree lifestyle in the Caribbean, sailing his barely seaworthy wooden boat from one dodgy job to the next. It's a life that requires lots of chutzpah and more than a little luck. Legal work for a boat bum can be hard to come by, even if you actually had a work permit. And Ron isn't big on formalities.Ron tries not to take life too seriously, and his optimistic approach usually manages to get himself, his crew, and Groucho, his Kayakoo water spaniel through one day and into the next. But the dubious work he sometimes takes on is risky. They live in the margins and listing too far beyond the laws of the various islands could put them all behind the wrong kind of tropical bars.These are the adventures of salty sea dogs, and hilarity on the high seas.

Calor tropical, dinero y lujuria Henry Miller dijo una vez: "El destino de uno nunca es un lugar, sino siempre una nueva forma de ver las cosas". Creo que es por eso que, en unas largas vacaciones, de mi trabajo como programador, a Cartagena, Colombia, dejo que un expatriado estadounidense rico y hablador me cuente su historia. No me impresionó o, mejor dicho, sólo me interesó particularmente cuando conocí a su hermosa asistente y escuché rumores de que el hombre tenía un oscuro secreto. Incluso entonces me intrigó sobre todo, sospecho, porque conocer la verdad era una manera de llegar a conocerla a ella. Esta es una ficción moderna, una historia de justicia vigilante de alta tecnología. Fue inspirado por una atmósfera tropical humeante, bebidas frías y cuerpos ágiles y sudorosos. Es la historia de cómo, en última instancia, la tentación de impartir justicia y satisfacer mis propios deseos (poseer lo tangible e intangible) superó el sentido común y tal vez la decencia común que alguna vez tuve. Pero entonces, la traición por una causa digna puede tener un sabor muy dulce, aunque al final nunca sea del todo clara, quien sedujo a quien todavía puede tener un final feliz.
