Is it real? Is it fiction? Or is it one of those things where the idea alone is powerful enough to get us dreaming about better systems?

Whatever it is, the popcorn’s hot and I’m here for the show.

But here’s the twist—nobody can prove it exists. It’s like the Loch Ness Monster of finance. Some say it’s already running in secret. Others say it’s "coming soon," like your friend who’s been "almost finished" with their novel since 2009.

They say it’s a financial system so advanced, it makes Wall Street look like two toddlers trading crayons. It’s supposedly run on quantum tech, overseen by benevolent AI, backed by gold, and capable of ending fraud, debt slavery, and possibly even bad haircuts.

Enter: Quantum Financial System. Or, as I now call it, the Banking Jedi Council.

Okay, full confession: I went down a rabbit hole last night. Not your average "2am YouTube binge" rabbit hole—but the kind where you end up on page 17 of a forum with usernames like GalacticBanker777 and people casually saying things like, “Don’t worry, the QFS already knows your heart’s vibration.”

It’s like your passport, driver’s license, and email login had a baby—and the baby got raised by blockchain monks with a vow of transparency and zero tracking cookies.

The internet is finally growing up—and apparently, it’s tired of being catfished, hacked, and surveilled.

Imagine this: instead of a thousand passwords, one secure, verifiable identity that lives in your control. No more security questions like “What was your childhood best friend’s guinea pig’s maiden name?” Just seamless, privacy-respecting access that you actually own.

A way to own your identity online without letting Big Tech babysit your personal data like a nosy aunt at a family barbecue.

That’s when I discovered Decentralized Identity, or DID. At first, I thought it was a typo. Like maybe someone forgot the “you DID WHAT?” in their tweet. But nope—turns out, it’s a real thing.

So I’m online, trying to log into my 73rd account this week—banking, streaming, food delivery, maybe even that app I downloaded to identify mushrooms (don’t ask)—and BAM, I forget another password. Again.

Either way, pass the popcorn. This show’s just getting started.

5TH CONTINUATION
Now, whether QFS is the future of finance or just an extremely shiny rabbit hole is still up for debate. But one thing’s clear: we’re either on the brink of financial revolution… or someone’s having way too much fun with acronyms and conspiracy theory generators.

4TH CONTINUATION

Rumor has it, this thing runs on quantum computers so advanced they’d make Einstein sit down and ask for a tutorial. Every currency, every transaction, every shady offshore account—poof, visible, traceable, and honest (allegedly).

Allegedly a super-secure, lightning-fast, AI-driven monetary system that could track every transaction in real time, eliminate corruption, and make traditional banking look like a cassette tape in the Spotify era.

2ND CONTINUATION

At first I thought it was a sequel to Quantum Leap with a budget increase and better haircuts. But no—this was the real deal.

So there I was, minding my own business, sipping coffee that may or may not have been too strong, when I stumbled across something that sounded like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie: The Quantum Financial System—a.k.a. QFS.
These idiots and their drone mania are going to get someone killed. Or a lot of people.

New Jersey Welcomes Pilots:

At this point, if I had a hobby drone in NJ I'd be flying every night!

Extra points for trailing a mylar balloon on a string.

Hugely entertaining (and perfectly legal) until it gets shot down by some yahoo with a rifle.

Maybe the reason pilots flying under visual rules have to "see and avoid" other air traffic, is because there's *a lot* of other air traffic. Maybe NJ is in the busiest airspace in North America.

Or it's UFOs mimicking FAA regulation nav lights. Hard to say.

I've been off X since Elon turned it into a neo-fascist cesspool of disinformation.

I was @aantonop there.
