The Art of Tomas (Tomas Villalonga)

Taking a deep dive into the RSK #blockchain. The 1st EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible #BTC Layer 2!!! You can get the Cover art as an #NFT at: https://www.oursong.com/vibe/dwlaxmvr

Today I want to bring attention to a platform that I think might be on to something big. Bitcoin backed Stable coins is a concept that has been talked about for a number of years... it is now a reality!!!

Talking about my Last Article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/26/bitcoin-city-the-beginning-of-the-new-macro-political-landscape/ The new project by El Salvador to build "Bitcoin City", I believe this is the first step in a new landscape for countries. For the first time in human history they will have to compete to attract the best people. This puts the commonly known "developing" countries in an advantage over the "developed ones". Something to be aware of for our future, Hope this helps :)

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/24/on-the-intentional-re-definition-of-words-and-their-dangers/ After watching the Australian Politician change the definition of the term "Anti-Vaxxer" to expand the people that can be used against: https://rumble.com/vpn79u-stuff-it-shove-it-furious-australian-pm-michael-gunner-blasts-those-against.html I just had to speak out and point out the dangers of this practice. I finish with one of George Orwell's final interviews: https://youtu.be/9k_ptxWsadI

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/23/the-warfare-of-attention/ After listening to the last conversation between Joe Rogan and Tristan Harris about our current situation with Social Media. I though more people should be aware of it, that is why I wrote the article and made this video/podcast.

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/22/lets-talk-energy-going-nuclear/ I tell the story of my Grandfather who used to be in charge of the Nuclear Energy program in Argentina back in 1970. And my own opinions in why it might be foolish to move away from it.

Talking about my last Article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/21/d-a-os-what-are-they-and-why-are-they-so-important/ Understanding D.A.Os (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) is going to be crucial going forward. A new technology that combines Democracy and Free Markets to allow groups of people to come together and operate a governance structure effectively.

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/19/the-making-sense-project/ I am adding a new section to my website called "Making Sense" where I'll add all the resources that are helping me understand our current environment. I think one of our greatest problem is that we don't understand what is happening in the world. There are too many distractions and misinformation. Without having a clear understanding of our situation it will be very difficult to make the right decisions. I'll upload this new section as regularly as I can :) I hope this is helpful to some of you. Have a great day!!!!

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/18/the-death-of-big-tech-and-the-dawn-of-the-new-age/ As I said before, big government is dying. Someone suggested that it would be replaced by big tech. In this video I explain why I think this is not correct, and why I believe Big Tech is dying as well.

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/17/starve-the-beast-how-to-fight-back-against-the-dying-state/ All the problems we see today stem from one major factor, our structures are crumbling and we stand in a transition period. Bitcoin will defund the state, and with it political power will matter every day less. Those who see it coming will benefit massively, those who don't will, unfortunately, be left behind

Talking about my last Article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/16/bitcoin-a-new-psycho-technology/ Psycho-Technologies are the ones that change the way we think, see and understand the world. Bitcoin is doing this worldwide, it cannot help but change our entire society. If you'd like to get my articles straight to your e-mail you can join ArtofTomas.Substack.com :)

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/12/starting-the-inflation-bitcoin-conversation-with-a-loved-one/ The best way I found to start this very complicated yet highly important conversation is with Lawrence Lepard on the "What Bitcoin Did" show with Peter McCormack. is very important to take it slow and answer all the questions that may arise during the show, I know is difficult. Yet we are getting to the stage where we can't afford to ignore what is going on. link to the Peter and Lawrence's show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QqreUTIZbM

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/11/the-future-is-decentralized-bitcoin-layer-2-pt-2/ Diving a bit deeper into Bitcoin Layer 2 and why it matters :) Join my Substack and get all my content directly into your email! https://artoftomas.substack.com/

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/10/bitcoin-layer-2-pt-1-an-overview/ It's time to dive head on and understand what the concept of "Layered Money" truly means.

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/09/the-new-law-of-the-universe-bitcoins-greatest-asset/ Talking to my friends I get a sense of some knowledge gaps when it comes to the topic of Bitcoin. I'm trying to learn as much as possible and share what I learn.

Talking about my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/07/the-logic-of-violence-and-its-consequences/ How the "Logic of Violence" determines the way in which society forms itself. As well as discussing how it has changed in the last few years, and how it is essential for our society, institutions and structures must change with it.

Exploring the ideas of last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/05/personal-sovereignty-my-new-quest/ As I see my Sovereignty falls I try to analyze where I'm lacking, what I need to fix, and a general direction for my life from here on forward.

Exploring the ideas of my last post: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/04/who-controls-the-state-and-how-long-can-it-last/   It's time for us to understand the power dynamics that are at play within our governance structure. At the same time we need to identify the key elements that are signaling us how this structure is failing.   From the economical, technological and even violence perspective is extremely clear that the global landscape has changed and we desperately need to adapt.   I only hope that by talking about it we can smooth the transition and it will be better for everyone.  Have a great day!

Talking about my last blog: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/03/eth-vs-btc-part-3-the-pre-mine/ I continue to try and understand the difference between this two assets. The Pre-mine is a very divisible issue between the two sides, but I do my best to explain it from an objective point of view :)

Explaining my last article: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/02/eth-vs-btc-part-2-proof-of-work-and-proof-of-stake/ Trying to explain and understand the fundamental differences between Proof of Work (POW) and Proof of Stake (POS). A larger divide between Bitcoin and Ethereum..

Exploring the subjects of my last post: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/11/01/eth-vs-btc-part-1-the-beginning/ I'm shocked by how many of my friends are investing in both Bitcoin and Etherum without really understanding them. In this series I'm going to try and explain everything I've been learning about them. DO NOT take anything I say as fact. Use my videos as a launching pad to know what topics you should go and study, always do your own research. Never invest or participate in something you don't understand. I believe in the future those who took time and energy to learn about crypto and mostly Bitcoin will benefit immensely, and I'm a bit worried of those who don't.

Based on my latest blog Post: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/10/30/the-fall-of-cities/ Looking at history, every time the central structures fail (we see it happen today as the adoption of Bitcoin reduces it's power and capacity to collect taxes) the big cities become unsustainable. In this Podcast I explore the signs that (I believe) start to show this trend.  My objective is to inspire you to pay attention and do your own research about it :)

Trying to explain the contents of my last Blog Post: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/10/29/the-catch-22-of-our-time/ If we stop printing money the economy collapses. If we continue social upheaval will surely follow.  This is the Catch 22 of our time.

Here I try to explain the content of my latest blog: https://theartoftomas.wordpress.com/2021/10/28/bitcoin-the-new-land/ This is the best way I have found to conceptualize what Bitcoin is, what it means and why is so valuable.

Started reading the book "the Sovereign Individual" and sparked a torrent of thoughts in my mind...   We need to be aware of the moment in time we are living to maneuver in this treacherous terrain. I urge everyone to read this book and start the process of understanding what Bitcoin is, what it means and why is so important.  I understand that what I'm asking of you it's not easy... but it is indispensable that you do. if you need help send me a message or an email to [email protected] I'm always willing to give a hand when I'm able to :) BlogPost: https://www.publish0x.com/morning-pages/the-sovereign-individual-my-view-on-what-s-happening-in-the-xqmwnvd

Thinking about one of my favorite lines in one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists!

I loved this conversation with Clinton... It's exactly what I had in mind when I decided to start this podcast project!!! He is a really interesting person and I admire his positivity and way of looking at things!!!! Follow him on Torum.com and I hope I get to do this again with him soon for I feel like we could have spoken for hours!!!  I tried editing the podcast, adding an intro and a closing comments with an added song at the end but my computer just can't handle the workload... I've ordered an Ipad PRO and it's n the way!!!! so hopefully future episodes will be better quality in that sense :)

Alright the first interview is finally live!!! thank you so much Etienne for doing this with me :) I've met him through a new Social media called Torum (https://www.torum.com/signup?referral_code=theartoftomas). Like a Facebook for people interested in Cryptos and it was so nice to be able to sit down with him and get to know him a bit better! I appreciate everyone who listened and supported the podcast!
