First, what RUNa really means in different cultures:
- Runa (Quechuan): In Quechuan languages spoken in the Andean region of South America, “runa” means “person” or “human.” It is a term used by indigenous communities to refer to themselves or their people.
- Runa (Norse Mythology): In Norse mythology, “runa” refers to “secret” or “whisper.” It is associated with the runes, the ancient Germanic alphabet used by the Norse and other Germanic cultures. Runes were believed to have magical and mystical properties.
- Runa (Brazilian Indigenous): In some Brazilian indigenous cultures, “runa” is used to refer to a healer or shaman who possesses spiritual knowledge and practices traditional medicine.
- Runa (Philippines): In the Philippines, “runa” is a term used in some indigenous languages, such as the Mangyan languages, to refer to an ancestral spirit or supernatural being.I would argue we all are runa (Bitcoin persons) that have secret (how Bitcoin wallet passwords) who possess knowledge (Bitcoin rabbit hole) that at least makes us feel spiritual. 😉
