【Guide by Ko Chun-kin】Three essential tools to have in front of national security #decentralizehk

On May 24th, LikeCoin founder Kin Ko posted a response activity #decentralizedhk on Facebook, and I'd like to share this extraordinary article with you. However, considering that the article contains many Cantonese terms and metaphors that may not be easily understood by non-native speakers, after a brief interview with the initiator Ko, we will present this passionate article through annotations of the original text. Readers can also learn about some decentralized blockchain products from it, so let's get started! (The original text will be presented in bold.) "I am stepping into an authoritarian era, and I plan to write a #decentralizehk series to help Hong Kong people disperse - decentralized, flowing, without a main stage, but with consensus. In 2017, I wrote, 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as hitting the road directly,' seeing too much is meaningless, taking action is the most practical. If my dozens of articles have not yet led you into the world of blockchain, it is undoubtedly a failure. This time, I decided to go straight to the point (how), directly let everyone implement it, first obtain a decentralized identity, and in the future, there will be opportunities to write about the principles (what) and discuss the concepts (why)." [Note 1] In Cantonese, "disperse" means to dissolve or leave. But here, it does not mean that Hong Kong people should actually disband, but rather to become "distributed" through the decentralized products recommended by the author. [Note 2] "Flowing like water" comes from a famous saying by Bruce Lee, "be water," which explains Bruce Lee's martial arts philosophy, to be like water, able to adapt to the shape of things, and at the right moment, able to gather strength to catch opponents off guard, just like the protest tactics during the anti-extradition movement last year. [Note 3] "Without a main stage," "Without" is equivalent to "none" (opposite of "have"), and a main stage refers to a large-scale gathering, such as the stage at a campaign rally on Edinburgh Place. Therefore, "Without a main stage" means not dominated by a single unit. Overall, "Without a main stage" also signifies decentralization.

National Security Three Treasures

As mentioned earlier, Argent uses email addresses and phone numbers to verify identity. The National Security Three Treasures, taken together, mark the first step in Snowden's battle against the state apparatus. It is never too late to change your email address and phone number. Do not hesitate. Embrace the principle that losing face in front of Hong Kong people is worse than losing money. Quickly take out your phone, download Argent, register your account, and have your own #decentralizehk identity.

【Note 7】Snowden refers to "Edward Snowden." A former employee of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, he was sought by the United States and the United Kingdom for disclosing the NSA's secret global Internet surveillance Prism program to The Guardian and The Washington Post in Hong Kong in June 2013.
