Pigeons in Concrete Cages: Why We’ve Forgotten What It Means to Be Free
Imagine a pigeon born in a metropolis. It doesn’t know that its ancestors flew over forests and fields, pecking crumbs near doorsteps. It believes life is a struggle for a place on the asphalt. Similarly, a person born into a world of money doesn’t remember that value was once measured by trust, mutual aid, and the common good.
Money has become our "asphalt"—convenient but unnatural. We teach children to "survive" in the system: to calculate profits, accumulate wealth, and compete. But is life itself sacred, or just the numbers in a bank account?
Money as an Illusion: Why We’ve Reached a Dead End
Money is a tool created to simplify exchange. But today, it has become an end in itself. We no longer see real needs behind the numbers:
- Accumulation for accumulation’s sake: Wealth has become a measure of success, even if it doesn’t bring happiness.
- Artificial scarcity: Resources exist but are locked away to maintain "market value."
- Division: Money divides people into classes, nations, and statuses, killing the sense of community.
But what if I told you all of this is a relic of the past?
BLAGO: When Technology Replaces Money
- Modern technologies—blockchain, neural networks, smart contracts—allow us to rethink the very idea of value. In the BLAGO project, we’re building a system where:
Value is determined by needs**, not speculation. Neural networks analyze community requests and allocate resources without intermediaries. - Assets are tokenized: Housing, food, and education become accessible through NFTs, not fiat accumulation.
- Collective governance: Every participant’s vote influences decisions, whether building a school or launching a factory.
A BLAGO example:
Recently, we held a vote to provide medical equipment for a village in India. Within 48 hours, the devices were delivered—no banks, loans, or fees. An algorithm determined the cost, and network participants allocated the resources.
Human Nature: Greed or Unity?
Skeptics will say: "People are selfish by nature! Without money, chaos will ensue!" But is this true?
- Historical example: Tribes that shared resources equally survived better than those driven by competition.
- BLAGO experiments: In test communities, participants are more willing to help each other when they see their contributions directly impact the common good.
Money doesn’t kill altruism—it masks it. When the struggle for survival disappears, true humanity emerges.
The Strategic Reserves of the Future: Data, Not Dollars
Imagine a world where nations and corporations hoard data about real human needs, not gold or BTC. This is already happening in BLAGO:
- Every request (e.g., "solar panels needed for a village") becomes an NFT.
- Network liquidity grows through asset tokenization, not speculation.
- Artificial intelligence predicts global needs, preventing crises.
What does this change?
- Wars over resources vanish—there’s enough for everyone.
- The economy becomes a tool for life, not control.
Conclusion: A Time to Choose
We stand on the threshold of an era where technology allows us to return to our roots—to a society built on trust, not fear. BLAGO is not a utopia. It’s a working prototype of a future already taking shape here and now.
The question isn’t whether a world without money is possible**. The question is: Are we ready, like that city pigeon, to remember we have wings?
*Join BLAGO. Let’s build a society where value is measured not by numbers, but by lives.*
