Ebola Virus Directly Challenges African Exploitation
Gorillas in the mist or malls with ample parking? Mother nature and her Ebola virus says she wants Africa to keep her dress on. Mainly China is trying to rape Africa. China long ago went through her own natural resources and replaced those areas with humans. Approximately 1.25 billion humans.Bad trade.China started out looking somewhat like Africa. But not any more.What face does nature show to China and all others who would enter her Africa's "Heart of Darkness'? It's the fruit bat.The Ebola Virus, named for a river that runs through Zaire and the Democratic Republic Of The Congo, resides in a dormant state in the blood of the fruit bat. When the bat eats fruit it contaminates the fruit. When a primate comes a long and finishes eating the fruit then the chimp or gorilla contacts the Ebola Virus. Enter the human. Because of the exponential population growth and accompanying malnutrition humans eat "bush meat". whether it be primates, a quasi-cannibalism,or other small mammals. Those mammals , some of them, have contacted the fruit bats Ebola Virus and so it goes.Hopefully the Chinese and other persona non grata like animal poachers and other "developers "will stay out of Africa with the fruit bats help.

Bitcoin Or Barter
A quick overview of Bitcoin as provided by Wikipedia left me asking why bother.Aside from being described as a cryptocurrency that is based on an open-source crptographic source than can be stored in your digital wallet after using bitcoin miners to find it while keeping in mind that the clock is ticking because Bitcoin creation will be halved every four years until there are 21 million Bitcoins created.Oh by the way all the bits of Bitcoins esoteric being were existing ideas from the cypherpunk community.That doesn't make it necessarily ready for mainstream.
The purpose of the Bitcoin is to facilitate peer to peer virtual currency transactions deliberately excluding central monetary authority. I.E. no government printing press currency .But currency is currency. It's still the root of all evil. My thought about its bad rap is it allows people to be in more than one place at a time. The human in the best of circumstances should be limited in influence to his or hers immediate geographical locale. But money allows all sorts of messy projections. Such as sending currencies to Rhino pachers to kill and deliver Rhino horn by the pound. Without Bitcoin or the traditional folding green of any country this atrocity would largely disappear.
So what's better for us and the planet instead of Bitcoin or traditional money? Barter is the answer. There are no barriers to participating except ones lack of talent to exchange.

Rhino Poaching Follows Fiat Money: China , Thailand, Korea Wealth Kills Endangered Species
South Africa's Rhino population is being slaughtered at an unprecedented rate. Using a baseline starting in 2000 and extending to 2007, a total of 117 Rhinos were killed for their horn during that period. Rhino horn brings app $37,000 per pound in the black market.. Asian peoples in China, Thailand, Korea, Hong Kong think it helps with sex and health issues. Starting in 2008 and extending through six months of 2013, a total of 2168 Rhinos have been killed in South Africa. Why the increase? It must be tied to wealth. Considering the pricey Rhino horn, money is the effective tool for this kind of horror. Starting in 2008 world central banks opened the floodgates on heretofore "normal" money creation. In the view of central bankers and their governments ,an increase of money in circulation plus easier credit was needed to restart Western economies. This was was a boon to Asian emerging countries economies. Money flooded into those countries and made instant multi-billionaires in a very short period.
With all that money, the primative ids of the Asians reached out for ancient status trophies -Rhino horn dagger handles and presumed aphrodisiac brews and health prescriptions. In the beginning we lived on a planet that looked largely like present day Africa. Now the planet is looking more like filthy China.Boycott Asia.
