In the American TV series “Westworld,” everyone initially believed that they were unique individuals, curious hunters from the real human society, who came to the town of Sweetwater to explore and reveal the evil of human nature. However, little did they know that many of these so-called humans were just constantly iterating and upgrading models, collectively known as hosts.
This model combines mapping from human society and the self-awareness of artificial intelligence. The continuous awakening of artificial intelligence and the iterative upgrades of the models blur the boundaries between humans and AI, and the “simulation level” has become an insurmountable barrier in this transparent parallel universe, which relies on storylines.
The development of every scene in Sweetwater, whether it’s the boss within the town, the CEO of the human world outside Westworld, or their shared past and present selves, relies on storylines.
In whose storyline, all the scenes, resources, and the foundation for the rise of artificial intelligence, are split and parallel in the fragmentary universe or even have bugs and crossovers, guiding all participants towards the glory of Westworld.
The storyline is the primary foundation of a series of scenes.
One of the biggest events in 2024 is the U.S. election. In the traditional two-party game, a new variable has been added, which can become an important factor that affects numerous encrypted narrative models.
In the 2020 election, encrypted narratives were still in their infancy, with only some radical projects and institutions making political donations to the Democratic Party. At that time, Trump won the support of the majority of rednecks and white supremacists in the United States, but his progress in making America great again was blocked by the combination of the left-wing and Wall Street. The key swing states’ mail-in ballots, which were enough to influence the situation, were mishandled, leading to long-term lawsuits and even the Texas rednecks marching to Washington in protest, but they failed to reverse the outcome.
The vulnerability of mail-in ballots deeply hurt the nerves of those American voters who were willing to exercise their rights. At the same time, in the TV series “Billions” and “House of Cards,” the latest hot topic was tracking votes using blockchain technology to fully leverage the immutability, traceability, and timestamp features of “on-chain data” to uphold the foundation of the United States, known as democracy.
As the clock points to 2024, before November 5th, the role of blockchain in the U.S. election will no longer be a minor player like four years ago but may even play a leading role and return to the center stage.
Firstly, there has been significant progress in election vote-counting technology, and the application of blockchain is already quite mature. If anyone tries to tamper with the original voting records, the cost will be very high. Although the final outcome of the U.S. presidential election is decided by the electoral college’s balance of power among states, the popular vote will first affect the weight of the electors.
Technology belongs to technology, and power belongs to power, just as God belongs to God and Caesar belongs to Caesar.
The “Trump” is a natural sales genius and an extremely smart businessman. In this election campaign, his campaign team has undoubtedly exerted a lot of influence on him. In terms of technology application, Trump may not have grasped the essence yet (but when he recalls the last time when mail-in paper ballots were batch manipulated, then thrown into the garbage, and now all original records can only be stored on the chain without tampering and are all traceable, he will surely be delighted when he realizes it). Before this application, he had already mastered the art of raising campaign funds and cutting new voter bases.
First of all, he went against what Biden opposes, and he will definitely support it, whether it is the source of funds for political donations or the support of up to 50 million American crypto enthusiasts. These are the resources he must strive for.
Since holding a small NFT banquet at the lakeside mansion, Trump has definitely tasted the sweetness. From initially showing some degree of friendliness towards cryptocurrencies to issuing NFT products based on his own IP, and now openly declaring himself a staunch supporter of the crypto industry, Trump’s speed is fast and resolute. As for the lakeside mansion, the latest hot topic is that Biden is preparing to send the FBI to forcibly enter and search for the “dozens of boxes of classified documents” that Trump took away after leaving office.
It’s a winner-takes-all situation.
Both old colleagues are in their twilight years, and this battle may be the pinnacle of their lives. Trump, who was narrowly defeated last time, is determined to win this time. The latest opinion poll data shows that Biden’s approval rating has dropped to its lowest since he took office. And with the booming vitality of the crypto industry, chips will slowly shift to Trump’s side.
In the new storyline, which relies on new factors and models, what hindered Trump last time has now become a bundled interest. For example, those glamorous Wall Street traders and big shorters have already made significant layouts in crypto assets and are planning to create chaos under Trump’s new storyline, with complete control.
But Biden’s team will not entirely abandon this basic base, but will balance favoring and limiting the regulation of the crypto industry. They will use their advantage in power to manipulate the boundary between regulation and relaxation, continuously adjusting people’s expectations and the actual economic interests of practitioners. It can be said that in this year’s U.S. election, in addition to all the effective models in previous years, including geopolitical hotspots, interest rates, the scissor effect of exchange rates, labor market saturation, economic overheating, instantaneous swaps of liquidity, QE/QT, the biggest factor beyond all of these is the regulation and embrace of the crypto industry.
Trump has already taken his position skillfully, but Biden’s team will not completely give up this basic base. They will emphasize both love and fear, not deviating from their basic values (disliking the crypto industry and actively limiting it, which caters to the left-wing and old money) and making the industry fearful of current regulations (adjusting regulation, mixing interests).
As the election war heats up, in sunny California, industrial decline-stricken Chicago and Detroit, traditionally finance-dominated Philadelphia and New York, and the homeland of the rednecks, Texas, traditional territories will quickly be divided. However, as mentioned earlier, in the new storyline, under the influence of new significant factors, this year’s election will be different from countless previous elections. The addition is the feeling of high-tech.
Trump has already said that he is ready to make America great again using the latest technology (cryptocurrency).
But American elections are brutal and devoid of any tenderness.
The political drama “House of Cards,” which reflects the political scene of American elections, is full of bloodshed, struggle, interests, betrayal, resource exchange, and both sides constantly showcasing the ugliest aspects of each other. The current spark is the French news agency seizing on the vocabulary in Trump’s campaign video, “empire,” suggesting that Trump has fascist tendencies and a terrible attitude towards immigrants. Coupled with the expected search of the lakeside mansion, this little spark seems to be about to ignite.
Trump hasn’t made a move yet, just calmly announcing that his team has accepted cryptocurrency as a source of political donations, with eight targets in the first batch, including his own IP-based NFT digital assets, as well as other mainstream favorites like Bitcoin, Ripple, and Dogecoin.
Trump has never been one to fall behind, and he has already announced that he is a staunch supporter of the crypto industry, implying that he is the U.S. presidential candidate who knows the most about digital currencies. Now, let’s see how he and his team will make their moves.
In the second half of this year, when there is a relative lack of hotspots in the crypto industry, which is the mainstream storyline, we can be sure that, against the backdrop of Bitcoin’s fourth halving, with old money stumbling while pouring into the traditional financial pool of Wall Street, this year’s election will become an epic catalyst for hot applications in the crypto industry. We will continue to track, study, and share the application of crypto elements in the election with everyone.
May all crypto enthusiasts be able to go with the market and experience the passion of the cyberpunk world, dancing together with the market.
