Again would need to do the maths to be sure, but im fairly convinced the whole design rely on tieing up two opposite for them to work together as a greater whole with a certain global order even if it's composed of two opposite forces.

The two sides are the market/trading/speculation, and the other side, the predictible nature supposed to emerge from it, from the Mining, to keep the chain coherent and secure the transactions.

The two opposing sides are just distractions.

The shadow elites neither understand Taoism nor are practicing Taoist wisdom.

Because they do not practice what they understand/preach, thus they are as good as not practicing any wisdom.

Besides, the shadow elites worship the money god.

Money, no matter how perfect we try to make it to be, will never be perfect.

Depend on what you call "elite" Cheesy

Originally elite is the same root than "elected" and are supposed to emerge as responsible to handle certain things for the other people better than what they would do themselves. Shadow elite in itself is bit an oxymoron.

But if you are talking about money worshiping, if you study occidental philodophy, it's really classic. It's even the stuff in the first star war trilogy with the federation of trade against jedi council . Well just to say it's very classic abc of philosophy since the beginning and plato wrote many about this.

It's not really about elite, but psychology of the mass and pyramidal nature of society. With gauss curve etc you know very small fraction of person really study math or philosophy or care about law , justice, truth, good & all.

It's really a central question in occidental philosophy since the beginning.

And the idea is always the same that money worshiping or greed, materialism , doesnt lead to wisedom, or idealism. Actually materialism is the enmy of rationality and moral for plato. But majority of people are materialistic, and plato was very aware of this.

And it's just where you get Nash theories with proba and game theory who are made to model this "low end of the pyramid" psychology, and model it as a coherent whole with higher purpose even by taking in account all the economic game theory that animate trader and speculators.

And im not sure the whole demarch would be so coherent coming from plain dumb money worshiping greedy person. Those people just run mining hardware and play on bitrex. They dont design whole system like this in the shadow.
