War… and Peace… and… Altruism

War Games, Utility Tokens, AK47s, and Blockchain for Peace

By: Jamil Hasan

In the preamble to my 2020 book Re-Generation X, I write the following about Brutality:

In its most malevolent form, brutality involves the blatant disregard, neglect, and disrespect of others around us. In action, it is torture for the unappreciated, ridicule for the uninformed, poverty for the uneducated, and suffering for the misguided.

Such malevolent brutality could occur anywhere, including but not limited to politics, government, and corporate unemployment. From my experience, it surely occurs on both Wall Street and Silicon Valley, especially with corporate bailouts and the advancement of emerging technologies.

In the case of this book, the same brutality, and lessons contained within, can help strategically grow businesses, become symbols of peace instead of war, be applied to wartime situations to grow communities, and help alter the devastation caused by inflation and fiat currency devaluations.

This twenty-eighth book in the Crypto Hipster Chronicles series, entitled "War… And Peace… And… Altruism" draws upon five Crypto Hipster Chronicles podcasts. Colonel Dr. Drew Miller, a United States Air Force Academy graduate and founder of Fortitude Ranch, shares his experience leading business strategy War Games, building Fortitude Ranch survival community, and the importance of utility tokens during times of pandemics. Peter Ivanov, a Ukrainian FinTech analyst, shares how they rebuilt communities in Ukraine with their 'Art for Life' campaign. Bran Symondson, artist and British war veteran, shares how he is decorating AK47s and creating corresponding digital art as instruments of peace. Andrej Šimunaj, founder of Am2 Studio, shares how a White Rabbit can help refugees survive a war-torn humanitarian crisis. And Fran Strajnar, Director at Techemynt, shares his vision for a brave new world and building a sustainable altruistic global society.

I hope you find this book both educational and useful in your crypto and life journey.
