To understand more about what we are doing, we can start Dan, Ned and Justin Sun. Dan and Ned created Steemit, I think it was in July 2017, this is a Graphene Blockchain, the same kind as Bitshares (BTS) and similar to the IBM Blockchain made on OpenLedger Fabric Technology, invented by the same people. It took less than a year or 2 before the Anarchocapitalists took over and instead of the girl that earned $30,000 on one post, the most popular accounts were Dollar Vigilante and and Stefan Molyneux. Dan and Ned then at some point Sold the Steemit Platform to Justin Sun. When Steemit started it was questioned if it was ok for them to have over 51% of the Coins but they promised it would be used to Develop the Platform, that share was Sold to Justin Sun. The Witnesses were all still Bitshares people though, so this started a large Feud where the Anarchocapitalists Witnesses Voted to remove the 102 Week Bridge Toll, and allowed everyone to remove their STEEM Power in 4 Weeks, then they started HIVE. I had previously left Steemit because of the Atmosphere, before the Sale, and wrote this when I came back, and this was written before I had heard.

This post Describes the Sale. HIVE then became kind of the Western Steemit, and Steemit became more Eastern. HIVE has HIVE-Engine invented by Aggroed, there is also STEEM-Engine but less people use it, as the Feud caused and was caused by, a lot of misunderstanding and not understanding what was going on.

I have been around the Cryptocurrency Space since Bitcoin was $5, since before Steemit Started, and I have myself been involved in some similar Crypto Feuds involving the Bitcoin Foundation, Steemit, HIVE, and others. This thread can actually be put into Google, and you will find Legal Review Articles citing this Steemit post.

This Steemit post also shows how I influenced the Steemit Bot landscape, creating more of a Service Bot atmosphere, and inviting people to create new Bots, then the other Articles being written citing it, etc.

If we look at the Acacia Tree, called the Waddle Tree in Australia, it is the Egyptian Tree of Life, which is known mostly for it's Thorns and Tryptamines, or Electro-Chemicals that signal in your Brain the same as your Brain makes, this Tree has existed for a long time. If we look at Alligators and Sharks as some Dinosaur Remnant as we sometimes do, then we can look at the Gingko Biloba Tree I think is one of the most Ancient in this way, with more Ancestry in common to most other Trees, than most other Trees; the Acacia is a similarly, but less Ancient Tree, but has memories of a Time the World was on Fire, and this has actually been deduced by Scientists based on Geography, Historical Layers, Carbon Dating, etc. But also by the fact that the Acacia Tree emits a gas so as to allow itself to exist in an Environment where it is on Fire, the Tree actually releases a gas that can be perpetually aflame, protecting the Tree underneath. The Acacia Tree is also a Model Tree of Life because of its relationship with Humans, and Animals. In Deuteronomy and Numbers, the Altar of the Tabernacle, and it's Frame, are made of Acacia Wood. The Tree also releases a sap, the same way Frankincense or Maple Syrup come from a Tree, and Ants collect the Acacia Sap while protecting it from Parasites. The Acacia Tree is in its many Incarnations a kind of being, and is thought to be the Burning Bush from the Bible by way of a Volcanic vent and the gases it emits, and the Cave Moses entered. To the Egyptians, it was the Tree of Life. This Tree can be compared to other Religious Lore, to come to an understanding that the Tree of Life is the Milky Way, and the Flow of Time in a Downward funnel like a Drain, similar to the Milky Way around it's center, which may be a Black Hole. This can also be seen in the Movement of the Planets around the Stars, the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, and as this Downward Funnel moves through Time there is a Tree formed.
The earliest Tokens may have been BTS User Issued Assets (UIAs) these were made with 1 BTC worth of BTS and at first this was affordable, but became something only for those who had been Mining Bitcoin early on, or people who were researching obscure Cryptocurrency with money to invest (this was before Tokens were on CoinMarketCap, maybe before CoinMarketCap but I think that was there kind of early too). Bitshares had OpenLedger (OL) which was basically Steemit but a Token exchange, with no Blog, held open by Witnesses, Voted on by BTS holders. These same people, Dan and Ned, made Steemit and Bitsharestalk users were the first Witnesses. Later Steemit had a Hard Fork (like an Update to the System Voted on by Witnesses) allowing Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) to be created in a Programming language similar to gETH for ETH. Aggroed took full advantage of this and created a Video Game, DEX, and Token Mint, we can see ETH as kind of lacking in that area there is no Mint for anything but a standard ICO Novel Transaction Token, the Ether Virtual Machine (EVM) is an upgrade to the standard Bitcoin Blockchain, allowing Tokens, Smart Contracts in those Tokens, and dApps to be created from those Smart Contracts. The Smart Contract being the gETH code that gives the Token it's Function. The ETH Token standards are called ERC, the ERC20 is the basic Token and Websites like OpenZepplin help you build more complex Smart Contracts. It should also be mentioned that early on in ETH there was an Oracalization issue where the Tokens from ETH could only be traded in exchanges created in Smart Contracts on ETH Blockchain, to then be traded for ETH to be Sold on exchanges, but then that was solved. Aggroed's Graphene SMTs still are largely not traded on outside exchanges, and are traded for HIVE, VKBT is traded for HIVE.
If we look at ETH from the Cloning and Forking Perspective, it is easier to Clone or Fork ETH than Graphene, ETH simply requires the 2 Miners to begin a Blockchain, like Bitcoin or Litecoin, etc. Graphene would work with 2, but kind of requires a Team to set up the Witnesses, and everything start with more people. This gets to the inerrorability of Blockchain, in that the Nodes used for Mining are all making sure all the Blocks are the same, if the Blocks are not the same this is considered a Fork and the Coins on the second chain do not count on the Original. There have been a few notable ETH Forks, one being ETH itself and Ethereum Classic (ETC) being the Original Chain. But 2 that should be mentioned here are EXP and AURA. EXP is an ETH Fork that was going to have a Token Lab dApp, this was where Tokens would be Minted in a Smart Contract, designed by the EXP Developers, and it would be like an ETH Token, which you can make on EXP, you can also make them on TRX, and MATIC, etc. AURA was an ETH Clone where the Developer was promising to create a Smart Contract called YouStocks, and this would be as essential to the whole operation as Ether Mist. But the Developer left, never to respond again, and never finished the Project. VKBT is a SMT on HIVE Blockchain, and we will not disappear, the Van Kush Family can be found by Googling.

In the experience of all who have ever been involved in Cryptocurrency, especially for any period of time, can tell you, that seems to be being ignored and why dAppsy and similar projects should be supported by real World names; the way this works is very very simple, and I think most can grasp it.
This is how it works:
When Launching a Project, don't ever drop off the face of the Earth permanently
How long have you been around, what have you done for me lately, again who are you?
What are we doing? I don't get it.
Many may remember the ICO Boom and at that time Facebook banned Crypto ads, GoFundMe banned Crypto Projects, and Bitsharestalk was kind of a Central hub for ICO discussion as they did the kind of things being done on the ETH EVM but on their BTS OL, this was where Buy Backs and Burns were discussed and announced, etc. If we look at that time it cost sometimes $200,000 or more to pay a Developer to create an ICO for you. This was partially because ETH value was rising, when Steemit started ETH was about $7. When ETH became more expensive, making an ETH Token became more expensive until EIP-1167 or 87 which made it cheaper to create Tokens based on the existing ERC Standards.
From all of this has now come an environment of NFTs which have Smart Contracts you can Clone that Mint NFTs, it used to be that a Litecoin or Bitcoin Clone was made (around 2013) with a Fancy Graphic and an entire SHA or Scrypt Blockchain behind it with that Graphic as a logo, now you can create a Graphic Minted to a Token, and sell it once. Most of this is centered on GitHub with ETH Tokens on EtherScan, etc, and this gets to the Original creation of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was created to be Cloned and Forked, released with a Free License on GitHub.
VKBT and there Van Kush Beauty Economy Tokens and Chains will operate under kind of a "Queen's Government" as the British say when the current Queen is left as the Sovereign while Parliament is recreated by Vote, and reformed after the Election. When everything falls apart everyone will come to the Van Kush Family. We are here for those times, we take Responsibility and Action, you won't have to worry about us disappearing, or us not guiding you. As things change we will work to help everyone understand what is going on and what to do next.
If we look at Splendor Solis it is a Book for Kings, like Machiavelli's, "the Prince", in some ways, but also like Tarot Cards. This Book can help everyone understand Ancient Religions, or Ancient Spiritual Concepts, and Governance. We have written a portion of what will be a 3,000 page Textbook called the Diaspora Brujeria, or "the Origins of Witchcraft", it is currently 600 pages and is like a Manual to these concepts. You can also look to the Emerald Tablets of Thoth and Tarot Suit of Pentacles, as Cryptocurrency can be seen in the Suit of Pentacles. We will cover this and many other Ancient Concepts extensively in the formation of these Cryptological Currencies. We will do like Benjamin Franklin.
I would have everyone look to Sherlock Holmes, Scooby Doo and the Vidocq Society. If you look at Sherlock Holmes he is kind of solving Mysteries like Scooby Doo, where everyone is steeped in Superstition and sometimes even the Detective or the Scooby Doo Gang believe in the Curse, or the Vampire, etc, but usually in the end they find some kind of logical explanation. We can see the reverse of this in various aspects, best described in a type of Criminology. If we start with Forensic Anthropology and the kind of things shown on the show Bones, where they are solving Crimes using Bones, and various kind of Forensic Culture Study, sometimes this gets into Voodoo, Witchcraft, and Ritual Sacrifices, or other kind of Spiritual things happening, and we can see this as not necessarily Obscure to Society, but Obscure to the Criminology Academia, and then is Religion, is Ancient Orders and Traditions, etc. Sometimes is the Zodiac Killer, or the Son of Sam, and other Serial Killers who seem to be driven and confused by something that kind of Spooks Local, State or even Federal Police. This gets into the kind of things the Founding Fathers of the United States were doing, or many of the Mystery Schools in general. It isn't normally described this way, but Witchcraft is American, Aliester Crowley and Antoine Levay are kind of the surface of something that is much more widespread in American Industry, Banking, and kind of even Rural America, than most people think. You could kind of say it's an Almanack Culture that merged Christianity, Wicca and Freemasonry, etc, etc.
If we look at Alice Bailey and Madame Blavatsky they are much more spectacular than Aliester Crowley or Antoine Levay. They both were completely involved in International Mystery Traditions, creating and forming the Pathways of Future Religion. We can also look to the Moorish Science Temple, and Dr. Ben the Egyptologist. Alice Bailey described her teachings as being to Promote, "Right Human Relations", and are about Light, or kind of Almanacks, like the Emerald Tablets of Thoth.

This is how we are founding the Van Kush Beauty Economy, and this is the kind of Ancient non-Electrical Technology being used by the Van Kush Family, this is what is behind VKBT.
