OVERCOMING PREJUDICES Rodrigo Ferrari Nunes, PhD We are living in extraordinary times. Never before were people able to participate in an economy by pushing buttons and looking at computer screens. The extent of what is possible to achieve remotely and collaboratively has been made incredibly wide ranging and far-reaching. People can establish close relationships from afar in ways that were never possible before, for better, and, unfortunately, also for worse. The Ophirian mission involves finding people in need of support and doing what we can to help them. We are here to do the best we can to make things better for people who struggle, not just in the Philippines, but also from around the world. We believe that, as stewards of this world, we should all make sure that everyone has access to the basic resources that sustain life. Unfortunately, the few people who rule this world do not yet share our vision of truth and science. We are working to change that. We are working to demonstrate how a world attuned to our vision should work. We are going beyond just lending people a hand in a time of need. Our vision of empowerment involves growing a crypto economy and providing work and opportunities that would enable people to become economically independent and take charge of their own lives. A world rife with socioeconomic disparities should never exist in the face of technological advances and human creativity. So how did we end up like this, distracted by torrents of meaningless media, suspended in an ocean of indifference? How, collecting so many compulsory taxes, can governments fail to provide basic support, housing and sanitation, access to clean water and nutrition for the people it should, in theory at least, serve? Are these issues difficult for such an advanced, space-faring society to solve? What are we going to export to the galaxy in our space explorations, the systematic inability to provide the same opportunities for one other? If governmental religious, industrial, and scientific institutions were truly concerned with humanity, and making the world a better place, we would have by far overcome the issues highlighted above. If so many hearts and minds were not so contaminated with greed, everyone would know how do the right thing. There would be no need for us to be here. We are part of those who are tired of sitting around and waiting. We are tired of hearing calls for help and being unable to respond. We are tired of being astonished by the incompetence and theatrics of the mainstream political world. Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.[1] We understand how crypto technologies can empower us and others like us to improve the world. This is what Ophir is all about. Ophir is unlike most other crypto currencies, which cater to the financial world with its sharks and whales. Ophir, is at the core of a growing feeling of connectedness, a culture set on solving present issues and building a better future, starting with the socioeconomically underprivileged. Ophirians represent the initial spark at the genesis of a new culture of abundance, knowledge and empowerment. Its roots have started to spread from the Philippines. As Ophirian roots extend the whole earth will come together with its nurturing embrace. In the meantime, drawing on lessons from the cryptocurrency world, the Ophir token is designed to provide a sustainable source of income to various projects, spreading prosperity. Our cultural roots will develop as Ophirians identify grassroots projects, and also bring support to marginalized artists, writers, creators and communicators, who will be empowered to document and become participants in the histories of their own communities. In a world where Ophirian values are taken seriously, every person would have the right to a home, nutrition, access to knowledge, the autonomy of pursuing their own enterprises, self-sustainable and free energy. Ophir sets into motion an inspired plan to bring about a culture of prosperity in which greed, its spurious manifestations, and unconscientious principles vanish forever. Yet, you may ask: if money is part of the problem, how can we solve problems with a crypto currency, something that seems to be just like typical government money? First, we should realize that crypto currencies are not all the same. They represent digital exchange contracts that range from poorly programmed to rock-solid and fraud proof. I will not get into the technical side of Ophir’s digital contract, but you can read all about it in Ophir’s White Paper and Audit. We should note for now that Ophir has a fixed supply of coins, and also no admin keys. This means that, once launched, nobody can mess with the code or mint new coins for their own benefit, an issue that has plagued many crypto projects. Ophir’s rock solid code makes this impossible. It is important to bear in mind that it is the community of users which generates the value of any currency. In other words, no currency has value unless people believe in its power and accept to exchange it for goods and services. The currencies that governments print have been traditionally imposed on populations who were left without alternatives. Such currencies, invented, printed and controlled from above, have been around since before all of us were born. People have been simply forced to adopt them. If all of us ignored those currencies, and stopped accepting them, their value would collapse; consequently, governmental structures would collapse. Thus, government currencies only have value because people choose or are coerced into using them. So what gives Ophir its revolutionary potential? First of all, it is important to notice that Ophir has been conceived as an example of what can be done, not as the only way in which it can be done. If there were more projects motivated by the same intentions propelling Ophir forward, people would be better off. Any positive revolution that could make the world a better place must start with the development of a higher consciousness. Simply put, this higher conscience operates under principles that are diametrically opposed to the rule of greed. These principles are strengthened by the pursuit of truth, which is, in itself, a complicated matter in a world saturated by state-controlled fictions. Yet, despite how people may disagree about many things, they tend to agree, regardless of the religious background, that we should be generous, grateful, and pursue the goal of living in a world in which the same opportunities exist for everyone. As Ophir grows, it will prove, again and again, that crypto currency technologies can be used to improve the lives of people in need and reward those who choose to help. Ophirians do not all think the same way. We celebrate our individuality and cultural differences as a source of collective strength. We would not like to live in a world where everyone thinks the same way and agrees on everything. Yet, we share the goal using knowledge and resources to assist and empower others who will soar above us in a greatly improved world. We do not dream of being recognized, or seeking the glories of this world. We know that actions speak for themselves, and go far beyond what words alone can do. In our journey, as we join hands and walk together, we must be prepared to face the world and its prejudices: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.[2] Looking ahead, Ophirians face derision, suspicion, misunderstanding, and all sorts of opposition. Our team welcomes adversity. We know what real adversity is, and we are providing an example to the world of how to enact positive change. Naysayers and self-ascribed judges only strengthen our resolve and bring us closer together. If our message is not coming across, we will strengthen it. We are here for the long run.
