Bitcoin's White Paper Gave Us Liberty – Let's Not Give It Back

This post was originally published here

One of bitcoin’s earliest entrepreneurs, Charlie Shrem is the former founder of BitInstant and co-founder of cryptocurrency intelligence service CryptoIQ.

This exclusive opinion piece is part of CoinDesk’s “Bitcoin at 10: The Satoshi White Paper” opinion series.

Ten years after Satoshi published the white paper that gave us bitcoin – and the explosion of innovation it launched – I continue to be astounded at its transformative power.

Money is such a fundamental part of life, and it has played such a huge role in mine, for good and bad. Bitcoin is the awakened sleeping giant of it all because it has fundamentally and forever changed money and, more importantly, money’s seat of power.

For me, this is the most important aspect of bitcoin and cryptocurrency: its role in propagating power to the greatest number of people possible. What Satoshi did when he democratized money was hand every individual alive – and generations to come – vast personal liberty.

This shift in power from the few to the many equals events in history like the advent of democracy itself, the invention of the printing press and the Renaissance. But it’s important to remember that nothing is free. What we gained in liberty with bitcoin, we lost in the security of knowing someone else was responsible for protecting our money.

But which would you rather have? Would you rather be able to spend your money exactly how you see fit and know that it is safe from the whims of political leaders with no skin in the game? Or would you rather have the comfort of knowing that if you fail to be vigilant, someone will make you financially whole again?

This is why I’m an ardent student of history. It’s a shortcut to understanding human nature, and it tells me I’d rather take my chances being the one making decisions about my life.

A Real Use Case

These days you don’t even need to study the past. The 24-hour news cycle gives us a window on economic disaster as it unfolds. We’re seeing in real time every stage of financial collapse on a national scale.

Look to Venezuela to see a society in the last throes of a financial meltdown, its people starving while its leaders continue to thrive, inflation hitting numbers that seem made up.

The International Monetary Fund expects that Venezuela’s year-end annual inflation rate will approach 13,000 percent. That’s astonishing when you consider that 4 or 5 percent makes news in other parts of the world. We’ve all heard about post World War I Germany and people using bags of money to buy bread. Here we are, a century later, and people are still subject to the capriciousness of the powerful.

Bitcoin could have changed things for the Venezuelans if they’d had an inkling of what was to come – and they should have – and thought to buy bitcoin or some other currency not tied to the bolivar.

Look to Turkey to see the early stages of a financial meltdown. The country is battling rising government debt, double-digit inflation and a currency whose value has plummeted. Turkish citizens are frantically unloading their lira to hang onto whatever value they can.

Many are turning to foreign currencies and many to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

According to a survey of 15,000 people by Statistica, roughly one in five Turks owns cryptocurrency, the greatest rate of adoption of any of the countries surveyed. Bitcoin is already changing things for the Turks.

To see a society in the earliest stages of this kind of collapse, look to the U.S. Few here realize where we are headed with our inflationary monetary policy and runaway spending. But those few are already hedging against what many experts say will be a new and massive financial crisis for this country.

For the few paying attention, bitcoin is changing things in the U.S. before they even get started.

Fiat’s Star is Setting

We all know from trading cards and small toys in the schoolyard that money is part of being human. If it doesn’t already exist for us, we create it. I saw that in prison.

Despite rules and razor wire, prisoners were able to create a currency of mackerel packets and a black market economy that was stunningly diverse in what it offered for sale – everything from personal services like weight training and letter writing to specialty catering built on the limited, shelf-stable foods available.

So in a sense, bitcoin is nothing new to money. People are always innovating, and bitcoin is the logical next step. It is the response of people long imprisoned by a system that puts them at a significant disadvantage compared to the powerful. It’s a system that has allowed those who rule money to steal from the people who use and save it for themselves and their families.

Again, you don’t need a history book to see what happens when governments are sloppy and even malicious with monetary policy, when leaders neglect their duty to protect not only a country’s currency but also its value. All we need to know from history is that this has happened many more times than once and that it will happen again – is happening now.

Our dependence on others to take care of us at the expense of personal liberty and responsibility has grown insidiously to the point when people are at the mercy of individuals and organizations who have never had their best interests at heart.

Bitcoin comes with great rewards and risk, but your national currency is fiat with everything that entails and has its own even graver risks, I believe. To me, it is handing someone else the keys to the future and crossing your fingers.

Any history book will tell you how well that’s worked out.

Healthy Sex: HIV, HPV, and 3 other sexual health facts the trump administration has gotten wrong

That's according to Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, who once apparently schooled Trump on these two very different conditions.

What's the difference between HIV and HPV? Don't ask the president of the United States.

That's according to Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, who once apparently schooled Trump on these two very different conditions.

On Thursday, All in with Chris Hayes on MSNBC aired footage of a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation event, where Gates recounted his meetings with the president in December 2016 and March 2017. During both of these encounters, Gates said, the president asked Gates how HPV was different from HIV.

"Both times he wanted to know if there was a difference between HIV and HPV, so I was able to explain that those are rarely confused with each other," Gates told the audience at the event.

To clear up any confusion, human papillomavirus (HPV) refers to a group of viruses spread through sexual contact, some of which can cause genital warts or cancer. It's estimated that roughly 79 million Americans have HPV, making it very common.

HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system and can ultimately progress to AIDS. Though both can be spread through sex, HPV and HIV are two very different conditions.

Yes, it's surprising the leader of our country doesn't know the difference between HIV and HPV, but this isn't the first time Trump's administration has shown a lack of knowledge about sexual health issues. Here are three more alarming things members of the Trump administration apparently don't know about sexual health:

VP Mike Pence Said Condoms Are Ineffective for STIs

In 2002, Mike Pence, who was then an Indiana congressman, voiced his opinion on CNNabout former Secretary of State Colin Powell's decision to advocate for condom use. In 2002, Pence said on CNN that condoms offer poor protection against sexually transmitted infections:

"...And the truth is that Colin Powell had an opportunity here to reaffirm this president's commitment to abstinence as the best choice for our young people, and he chose not to do that in the first instance, but -- and so I think it's very sad. The other part is that, frankly, condoms are a very, very poor protection against sexually transmitted diseases, and in that sense, Wolf, this was -- the secretary of state maybe inadvertently misleading millions of young people and endangering lives."

Of course, condoms are not fail-safe, but public health experts do recommend using them to lower your chances of pregnancy and STIs. Condoms are 98 percent effective at preventing pregnancy, and reduce your risk of transmitting STIs.

Trump's Administration Claimed Birth Control is Ineffective

In October 2017, the Trump administration changed an Affordable Care Act (ACA) - also known as Obamacare - mandate that required employers to offer insurance coverage for contraception, among other services. Under the new administration, employers can eliminate contraceptives from health insurance plans for religious purposes.

To justify its new set of rules, the administration said that contraceptives aren't proven to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

“The rates of, and reasons for, unintended pregnancy are notoriously difficult to measure,” the administration wrote in a document. “In particular, association and causality can be hard to disentangle.”

Oral contraceptives are the most popular form of birth control among women, and have been shown to be 99 percent effective when taken as prescribed.

Public health experts agree that birth control does prevent unwanted pregnancies.

“We know that safe contraception - and contraception is incredibly safe - leads to a reduction in pregnancies,” Michele Bratcher Goodwin, director of the Center for Biotechnology and Global Health Policy at the University of California, Irvine, School of Law told Bloomberg at the time. “This has been data that we’ve had for decades.”

Trump Misspoke About Late-Term Abortions

In January, President Trump spoke at a March for Life anti-abortion rally, in which he made a factual error when talking about late-term abortion.

"Right now in a number of states the laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong; it has to change,” he said.

Of course, this blunder is likely the president misspeaking; as many commentators later speculated, he likely meant to say torn. In October 2016, Trump also claimed during a presidential debate that late-term abortions regularly took place in the ninth month.

Still, many medical professionals argue there is little evidence that women frequently get abortions during the ninth month.

In a piece for Vox, OB/GYN Jen Gunter, MD, explained that data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that only 1.3 percent of abortions occur on or after 21 weeks. There are nine states and the District of Columbia that allow abortions after 24 weeks without restrictions, but that's still a long way away from 36 weeks, or the nine-month mark. "Honestly, I've never heard of it happening," Gutner said of abortions taking place in the final month of pregnancy.

As previously stated, CDC records show that 99 percent of abortions occur before 21 weeks. Past that point, they're performed under harrowing circumstances that make it impossible for a baby to survive outside of the womb.

That's why Trump's statement outraged health professionals and women who faced late-term abortions due to fetal abnormalities.

“Abortions that occur at this stage in pregnancy are often the result of tragic diagnoses and are exactly the scenarios wherein patients need their doctors, and not obstructive politicians,” Dr. Jennifer Conti, clinical assistant professor at Stanford University, told The Guardian. “Asking a woman to carry a fatally flawed pregnancy to term is, at the very least, heartbreaking.

Even when there are complications in the later stages of pregnancy, doctors are more likely to induce labor or perform a C-section, which is not the same as termination.

Getting down to the Roots: What Community Health Care has to offer Ghana

We look the concept of Community Health care and its relevance with regards to how it can boost Ghana's health sector

Community health care, a field of public health, is a discipline that concerns itself with the study and improvement of the health care of communities. It provides basic health care in communities and the rural areas. It eases the burden on other levels of care.

The community health type of care is one of the most important objectives targeted in achieving primary health care as proposed by World Health Organization. With this, community health care should be a prime focus in health care delivery system in every country.

The Health Care System in Ghana operates on five levels of providers: the Health Posts, Health Centers and Clinics, District Hospitals, Regional Hospitals, and Teaching Hospitals such as the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) and Korle Bu Teaching hospital. Community Health Care plays an integral role and is the first step to Health Care Delivery in Ghana.

In Ghana, Community Health Care is mainly delivered in polyclinics such as the Ampabame Polyclinic in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, health centers like the Kasoa health center and community-based health and planning service (CHPS) zones. Community Health Care Providers should include Disease Control Officers, Nurses, Midwives, Nurse Assistant Preventive (NAP), Nurse Assistant Clinical (NAC), formally known as Health Assistant Clinical (HAC), and Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs). Their role is to provide preventive, promotive, and therapeutic care.

Their main objectives are to improve equity in access to basic health services, improve efficiency and responsiveness to client needs, and develop effective inter-sectoral collaboration.

Their importances are to reduce burden on District Health Care, Improve Health Service Delivery through making health information and service accessible to every member of the community, Improve the health of the people in the communities, Cost effective in terms of prevention of diseases, Improve the capacity of health workers at the community level.

It is an undeniable fact that the inception of the Community health care system is a major link between health promotion services as well as health delivery services at the community level, where most morbidity and co-morbidity cases are realized or observed.

All notwithstanding, Community Health Care services in Ghana has been plagued with a lot of challenges that entirely mar the beauty of the service, as well as hinder the persistent efforts being made in the achievement of our Primary Health care targets as a country.

The indicators and determinants of health have been pointing to the fact that, Ghana has performed abysmally when it comes to attaining Primary health care, and we undoubtedly continue to struggle with the concept all because we find it difficult to effectively implement the Community Health Care services.

The challenges are numerous but first amongst them is the problem of community participation. Our cultural beliefs and traditional practices coupled with various dogma about western medicine plays an important role in our decision to access these health care posts within the community.

By and large, we can say that it has been a problem with education on the choices of health available within the community but it has a lot to do with our attitude to change and to conform to new standards. For instance, some societies hold the view that the hospitals within their communities are death traps for pregnant women. With this kind of assertion, it would be very difficult for members of the community to access such health care post.

Secondly, there is lack of motivation on the part of the health workers to accept postings to these communities. This is mainly as a result of the low standard of living within the communities, coupled with the lack of access to specialty programmes for the staff to upgrade themselves. Aside this, there are no special incentives to woo health workers into these communities. Obviously, this impacts negatively on the health of the people and the achievements of primary health care.

Thirdly, there is lack of proper educational facility for staff wards in the communities. One of the major setbacks is the low levels of educational provision at the community level. Mostly, the communities provide a poor education up to the basic level. Most medical staff would prefer to have better forms of education and at a higher level for their wards. Imperatively, this happens to be a major stakeholder in the decision making process of the choice of health facility to work in. Because the future of their wards largely depends on it and they will not like to jeopardize the future of their children on the altar of sacrifice.

The fourth is, lack of proper accommodation and safe water for staff. It is an open fact that there is a huge disparity in the accessibility of social amenities and housing between the rural and urban areas. It is the duty of the community health worker in the rural areas to look for decent accommodation for themselves and at costs to them. However, in the urban areas, various flats have been provided for some of these health workers providing curative care.

Finally, there are lack of motorable roads making referral cases very difficult and also decreasing attendance of individuals to facilities. There are also lack of ambulances to transport seriously ill patients to higher levels of health care. Lack of X-ray facilities, Laboratory services, and pharmacies at CHPS zones also make it difficult for the workers to provide proper health care. To add to it, there are also inadequate equipments and other hospital items such as Delivery beds, instruments, sterilizers, etc. that enhances service delivery and many more.

THE WAY FORWARD

Frequent education on health in the form of durbars, house to house education to let them know the whole concept about health by chiefs and also Community Health Providers.

Ghana Health Service should introduce specialty programmes specially for Community Health Providers for upgrading after some years of service such as CRITICAL CARE NURSING, OPTHALMIC CARE etc.

Apparently, this might be out of the hands of Ghana Health Service but within the scope of Ghana Education Service and the government. The chiefs and opinion leaders of the community can liaise with Ghana Education Service and the government to put up better schools and educational facilities. This would attract Community Health Providers to go to communities since their wards would have a feel of better education in the communities.

Ghana Health Service and government of Ghana can liaise together to provide good and conducive accommodation and safe water for Community Health Care Providers in various communities .if they put up the CHPS compound and other Community Health centers, they should also put up accommodation with safe drinking water and a conducive environment for them to work efficiently.

Ghana Health Service should liaise with government and Non-Governmental Organizations to provide decent roads in communities making referrals easier

Ghana Health Service should provide X-ray facilities to diagnose simple fractures, Laboratories for simple tests (malaria parasites, urine routine exam), and Pharmacies to get the required drug for the simple conditions diagnosed for treatment instead of referring these simple cases to the District Hospitals and other higher levels of health care .All these improve client patronage, reduce hospital stay, improve working performance, and client satisfaction.

Ghana Health Service ,Non-Governmental Organizations and other Benevolent societies can come together to help these community centers in providing equipments and other hospital items to improve Health care delivery

In conclusion, we can practise the suggested points to be able to better our Community Health Care system to achieve Primary Health Care (the primary goal in health care delivery) within the country. This generally improves community health status, reduces hospital waiting time, enhances community participation, and also improves financial and socioeconomic status in communities and the country as a whole.
