    This section is a response to recent public accusations on Twitter against me by Zaki Manian and Jessy Irwin.

    ## Zaki and References to God

    * Zaki Manian appears to have a determination in him to completely destroy my reputation.
    * He and Jessy Irwin have consistently applied (before recent events, internally to the company) the abuse of information asymmetry.
    * I guess they think that we are weak and that we would never speak in this likeness against them; I have no idea why else they would do what they do unless they are extremely daft and blinded by greed, or are held hostage by some conspiracy.
    * I’m glad he feels ownership over Cosmos but it’s ludicrous for me, to see him refer to himself in the media as founder of Cosmos, when in fact he joined much later than others, and insisted to me that he would not do that any further.
    * Then when I agreed to delegate to Zaki the full responsibility of Cosmos and IBC deliver, I thought we had reached a compromise, so I left them alone to deliver as we had discussed and agreed, with me focusing on Virgo.
    * Even Zaki agreed in last year's company retreat that Virgo was what we need, and wanted to present it himself to the company as if it was his idea.
    * When I started the experiment with this new identity, it did cause a bit of a stir, but nothing in comparison to the shitstorm that formed after his carefully worded public accusations.
    * I should have known a long time ago not to tolerate egotistical manipulative liars, and the main mistake I made was of tolerating him, a former friend.
    * Jessy Irwin who was protected by Zaki had always complained of glass ceilings, became upset that I wouldn't promote her security clearance for another ludicrous reason. Upon the first months of employment she mentioned a story whereby she stole somebody's Bitcoins in retaliation for whatever reason. I got no end of complaint about this judgement, which has now been proven just.
    * Now after she resigned together with Zaki she also wrote against me, mentioning "harassment" and letting rumors circulate that it may be much worse than whatever it actually was.
    * When I was defending my right (as employee, for all employees) to express what faiths I have, I was told that I was in fact repressing all of them.
    * I have disclaimed many times that my name does not imply that I believe that I am Jesus the Christ, (or John Connor), while Zaki Manian himself has said himself with scorn that he is God manifest (with many as witness).
    * I only spoke the truth in saying that I can only trust Zaki as an equal, if and only after he has sworn (upon his own God) that he has changed his mind about his own self-professed godliness.
    * Why am I not allowed the same formalities for my sovereign right of Trust, as the courts and border patrol ask you to swear upon words of your choosing? Of all the things this country does, this does not upset me; at least it shows respect for the agency of my mind.
    * I also spoke the truth in exclaiming that our work with Tendermint and Cosmos is Godly. I was being honest about the origins of my devotion, and the importance of our work and the magnitude of our circumstances.
    * But I understand the fear that this brings. So I said that I would step down anyways so that I can continue to say these things in a personal capacity, but also to be true to the original intention to decentralize the organization.
    * But after I made a public commitment to steps that I would follow, Zaki then claimed that it was a lie, then proceeded to distract us.
    * I'd rather mutually destroy all of our personal reputations (of myself, Zaki and Jessy), than to allow them to continue the evil abuses across this otherwise great community, because our mission is nothing short of revolution and transformation, while at least Zaki self-admittedly primarily does it for the money.
    * Let this be a lesson on character and core values.


    ## Further Decentralization

    * Virgo to be delegated to consensus to Peng and Adriana, and I will only intervene when one or ideally both of them summon me, because I trust their judgement and character.
    * Communications and Cosmos Community strategy to Christine who can sense evil from a mile away, and who I attest to know how to shed ego, has great ideas and knows the spirit and mission of Cosmos.
    * To Chris Abejon with one another to be appointed as interim co-CEOs, as soon as we are sure and able, and then working to decentralize the Board of AIB with participation also from due shareholders and investors, including Paradigm as a seat member along with more members that I and others approve of, at least 5 in number, to commit to making the changes like I last proposed I would, or something equivalently good based on our proposals.
    * And it will become clear that I was consistent the entire time.

    * If we are at the End of Times, the last moments at the Trap of Malthus, the more important it is to not resort to fighting.
    * What I see is that we have no option but to find peace among different cultures, and the groups that stand out the most to me are between Abrahamic religions.
    * There are hundreds of millions of persecuted spiritual descendants of Abraham, brothers killing brothers for sisters? What is this madness?
    * We are like siblings that fight on the dinner table, accusing each other of being wrong, evil, or imperfect.
    * We should instead have been joyful that there is still yet food on the table, and to find grace in hardship, to work towards a plan for mutual sustenance.
    * But I fear that instead we have squandered this opportunity, and now we are at the breaking point of our technological civilization, a hastily built house of cards we take for granted until cardiac arrest of commerce sets in on a global scale.
    * Don’t the prophets say that it will take 50,000 units to recover from this state of affairs? I believe it could even be 50,000 years for us to get back here without oil.
    * I wish we could do it in 1000 years instead.
    * When the time gets rough, and it appears that it will, we tend to fall back to tribalism, of race supremacism, of fascism or dictatorship, or just as worse, religious wars.
    * While many in the West have been living in relative peace for a lifetime since World War 2, and many in Asia in a relative period of boom in just the past two decades, this is now coming to an end. Well, now you see it manifest in ways even I didn’t anticipate, or had forgotten.
    * A great financial recession is now expected, and on top of that we have environmental catastrophe, the threat of global warming, and also now pestilence and biblical locust swarms.
    * I am forever an optimist, despite my apparent pessimism. I am also a realist, battle testing my optimism.
    * I hope that we can find a narrative that brings people together.
    * It appears to me that this was what was prophesied by Jesus and Mohammad, and I believe Mohammad said that Jesus would return to slay the cross.
    * I believe the slaying of the cross is referring to the slaying of the narrative that Jesus was a proponent of life of perpetual guilt.
    * I believe that Martin Luther saw some of this when he noted the abuses around the usage of Papal Indulgences. And I believe the narrative goes far deeper than that.
    * To Luther on his first Thesis: No, Jesus did not exactly will the entire life of believers to be one of Repentance, because the meaning of the original word was lost in translation. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
    * While there is suffering with guilt from the Sin before Metanoia, after that there should be none left, as stated in the 2 Corinthians 7:10 -- Godly sorrow brings Repentance that leads to Salvation and leaves no regret.
    * We must define healthy boundaries for ourselves and stop worrying so much about what others think we should do, and not let others control us with perpetual guilt.
    * It is not always my responsibility to appease you when you are offended. Sometimes, especially nowadays it seems, that responsibility falls on you.
    * Like we accept people named Chris, Christopher, or Christen, and Muhammad, or Martin Luther King, we should accept people’s names for what they profess to be, as long as it’s in reference or homage to the referred, and obviously unique and not to mislead.
    * I have never referred to myself as Jesus, though I have often asked myself what Jesus would do.
    * I respect the words of Muhammad in the Quran in the parts that I have read so far, and I respect his insight in the Cow:58.
    * There are pertinent questions that arise especially regarding physical violence. I want to be clear that I have never acted in or condoned physical or sexual harassment or violence, and that I’ve lived my life in accordance with principles that make it easy for me to say that I have never and would never be ok with that.
    * And really, stop, I’m not a martyr.


    ## The Bells of Metanoia

    * I recalled a vision of the surface of the Sun, with solar flare loops half submerged and shifting in magical ways, with things seemingly appearing out of the blue, driven by internal forces at least inside or more.
    * I imagined our universe, its Past, Present and Future, all represented in the arc, a magnetic feature.
    * And there I saw an explanation of it all.

    * I identify with Einstein over Bohr in believing that local sovereignty should be preserved for a proper understanding of how things truly are.
    * I identify with Sagan over Tyson in believing that there is a purpose and meaning to our lives, that this is not just “random” or even “arbitrary”.
    * I believe that the past and future exist altogether in the metaverse, and that this explains Bell’s inequality experiments — that for example the spin of photons is determined by rules about the future(!), and that our preconceived notions of causality is the source of our confusion.
    * I’m not saying that I’m sure of any or all of this, but I must now rationally conclude that I need to be open-minded to the integrity of the Revelations.
    * That perhaps the Vision of the Revelations and the Words of the Quran were actually sent back from the future, or perhaps is explainable by some meta-resonance that involves prayer and meditation.
    * That as the Bible says, that there is both a beginning and also an end.
    * That with this new view of the nature of our reality, the traditional understanding of time also ends, and thus it is the End of Times.
    * That our quantum experiments will further prove this to be true.
    * That while Einstein says spooky action at a distance, I say spooky communication across time -- and I wonder if it involves inebriation with 2000 year old wine.

    ## The Interim Crypto Directive

    * If this is the End of Times as described in the Revelations, perhaps the fourth Seal has also been opened.
    * I confess I’m the type that might have pursued AI, but I chose people against the Terminator machines and that is Tendermint’s why.
    * That if this is the End of Times, by the Word what is coming are Great Tribulations.
    * That if I am right about all of this (and I hope I am wrong and proven the fool, as sometimes I am), that my purpose is to provide this message.
    * I said on Bloomberg Asia Radio during the moment of retribution in Iraq where miraculously nobody was killed, that the Second Seal had been opened.
    * At that time, I was not aware of this COVID19 novel Coronavirus at all.
    * So from my perspective the signs are telling me to go further still.
    * And if so, the collapse of our communications and financial infrastructure may come sooner than expected, and so we will not have time to develop anything much safer than Bitcoin.
    * Temporarily in a time of crisis and uncertain connectivity, we should prefer to have Bitcoin and with its proof-of-work.
    * But proof-of-work is expensive like crawling on all fours.
    * So eventually we need to commit to locally owned internet, powered by an incentivization protocol that is truly decentralized, secure, and open.
    * And later when we are more confident about the reach and stability of our connectedness, then we ought to lean more on proof-of-stake for our transactions.
    * The communities that understand this and begin to promote Cosmos will prosper.
    * While others only reliant on mining will suffer from want of work.
    * Still others reliant on insecure proof-of-stake will suffer from breaks of trust.
    * That reliance on side-chaining proof-of-work to Cosmos makes Cosmos that much more insecure, like a short circuit from ground to cloud via a lightning fast attack.
    * That instead we want to consider alternative means of bringing Bitcoin users onto Cosmos, either by creating a proof-of-stake fork, or something else.
    * I propose what I call an “inductive fork” — a time-lock of Bitcoins to mint proof-of-stake Betacoins, with the same inflation schedule as Bitcoin.
    * But before Betacoin becomes as big as Bitcoin, first will come a time when we will have fields of farms tended by Man-made Arms (of Hands), and with Us humans as tender to the farm.


    ## The References to God

    * Let others write about Zaki Manian and those who banded together against me. I leave it up to all of you. I have been asked not to participate, because I should focus instead on the future. But I still need to make a few points for clarification.
    * They write things that imply things that are knowingly not true, and they leave themselves out of truths that should also be dealt with for me and you.
    * I have disclaimed many times that my name does not imply that I believe that I am Jesus the Christ, (or John Connor), they themselves have said on separate occasions that they are God manifest.
    * I’m glad they feel ownership but it’s strange for me to see them refer to themselves in the media as the founder, when in fact they joined much much later, and insisted that they would not do that.
    * I thank you for the hard work you started with the launch of the Game-of-Zones.
    * I’m disappointed about the way in which you projected yourself.
    * I’m sorry for saying the things I said in the ways that I did; I admit it was created to provoke a reaction which I felt was needed.
    * Still, it was retracted within the hour because you’re all right—I didn’t need to do that, and I want us to work together under Cosmos with integrity so I leave the rest up to you.
    * Can’t we say at least that I have a point, and wouldn’t that be the end of that?

    * When I was defending my right (as employee, for all employees) to express what faiths I have, I was told that I was in fact repressing them, and now I understand.
    * I feel the need to explain myself, so that it can all be resolved.
    * I only spoke the truth in saying that I can only trust them as equal Partners once they have sworn (upon their own Gods) that they have changed their minds about their own Godliness.
    * I am guilty of telling the company exactly this only once; they have said that I religiously harassed them in all channels, implying many more than once.
    * Why am I not allowed the same formalities for my sovereign right of Trust, as the courts and border patrol ask you to swear upon words of your choosing?
    * Of all the things this country does, this does not upset me; because at least this shows their respect for the agency of our minds.
    * And once you do, I tell you, we will forgive you at once; but we do need to see that your intentions are pure.
    * And tell us afterwards, do you not then feel free, free of guilt in spirit?
    * And before this there was also my exclamation that our work was in the name of God. I was being honest about the origins of my devotion, and the importance of our work.
    * But I understand the fear that this brings. So I said that I would step down anyways so that I can say these things in a personal capacity, but also to be true to the original intention to decentralize the organization.
    * The resulting transformation will exonerate our employees from the claims of conflict that are admittedly originating from me. And I continue despite reservations from some in this company, as I assert that I have the natural right to make this personal statement and choice.


    ## Further Decentralization

    * Virgo to be delegated to consensus to Peng and Adriana, and I will only intervene when one or ideally both of them summon me, because I trust their judgement and character.
    * Communications and Cosmos Community strategy to Christine who can sense evil from a mile away, and who I attest to know how to shed ego, has great ideas and knows the spirit and mission of Cosmos.
    * To Chris Abejon with another to be appointed as interim co-CEOs, as soon as we are sure and able, and then working to decentralize the Board of AIB with participation also from due shareholders and investors, including Paradigm as a seat member along with more members that I and others approve of, at least 5 in number, to commit to making the changes like I last proposed I would, or something equivalently good based on our proposals.
    * And it will become clear that I was consistent the entire time.


    ## Fin

    * ! My message has been written so now I am no longer Cosmuhammad Bitcoin Jaesustein.
    * ! I am now going to focus on staying safe and making sure IBC is delivered in time; even creating limited competition and rewarding early delivery, and decentralizing AIB, Inc (“All in Bits, Incorporated”) and finding my rightful successor(s) as the president of the ICF, and Board of AIB, such that this enterprise succeeds. My goal is to also reserve the brand of “Tendermint” to adhere to my most rigorous of standards (which have broken the spirits of many men, to the point that they accuse me of being evil, when they are just being naive, and so I forgive assuming they will metanoia themselves out of it, and then we can laugh about it some day in the future).
    * ! Stay safe, and if you are pissed that I’m spending so much time researching whether this COVID19 novel Coronavirus is actually containable or not, and whether the situation is dire or not, then blame the censored media for making me more worried than absolutely necessary. We need the Virgo Cash Directives (our recommendation for industry to follow) to deal with the immediate crisis, as well as the Virgo Dither Protocol, for censorship proof resistance.
    * !! I was asked to predict what would happen in 2020, and I said that censorship makes China a tinderbox. Then I had a spiritual awakening, and I was labeled insane and defamed unduly for self-gain by many. When I tried to keep everyone accountable by requiring the disclosing of all conflicts, they left in a hurry. It made me all the more sure that I should say all of these things that I just did.
