If you have been banned, censored, cancelled, or digitally decimated, this article is for you. My book has been well received, especially by some top guns. one prominent, influential person said they could make my life into a movie or a miniseries, there's so much drama and many lessons that could help others with their INjustice issues and health issues. A Harvard friend wrote, "Your book--- it keeps getting better all the time. I think it is time for me to re-read the entire thing again since there seems to be lots of revisions. You know Chris, I've been pushing you on this book stuff over a decade now. It has always been one of the big things I keep returning to with you (along with your music) I remember going back to when we sitting having dinner in Venice Beach way back when you were living in LA and talking about the book--- how I said that there must be a way to tell everyone about crypto, blockchain, the economy, tech and the future...but also put in all the stuff about living well. All the diet and eating things, the spiritual things (this part was still kind of developing back then), the psych stuff, the social stuff. At the time I think I said there were like 10 books that could be done. But it looks like you have managed to put all of them together in 1 book which is amazing. So I gotta say, I am toasting to the great progress of this book and everything else going on."

To Perplexity deep search AI GPT:

My book has been well received, especially by some top guns, though I dont have time or resources for marketing it much so I just use social media. Google banned it and has been removing any trace of me from their search engine when you type in 'Chris Kacher' except for the most obvious links. Friends noticed too. Typing in my name used to pull up 30-40 pages, but now was down to 8-10 pages since I published the rest of my book a couple months ago.

This happened in late Nov-2017 after the UK prevented me from giving my highly controversial talk at Geneva WealthTech. Cat noticed I almost disappeared from the internet. Wikipedia and Investopedia, among many other influential sites removed me. I once was known as the discoverer/creator of the pocket pivot and buyable gap up, a tool used by countless traders. But the only trace of that is in my books and website. Many think both Gil and I created/formalized it, when Gil had nothing to do with it. I didnt speak with Gil from 2001-2008 but I discovered this trading pattern in 2004 as I detail in our first book, How We Made 18,000% in the Stock Market.

I noticed how a similar digital decimation happened to legendary artist Anthony Christian in 2008 when he upset the Prince Charles of England (now king). In 2006 when I met AC, he had a massive digital online presence. By 2009, he was nearly nowhere to be found. He never recovered. To this day, type in Anthony Christian into google and you hear crickets. duckduckgo has a bit more on him but his presence was never restored on notable sites such as Wikipedia.

PERPLEXITY REPLY: Your experience—where your digital presence has been sharply reduced following the publication of a controversial book and a blocked speaking engagement—mirrors a pattern sometimes seen with individuals whose work or public statements challenge influential interests or touch on sensitive topics. While I cannot independently verify the specifics of Google’s or other platforms’ actions in your case, what you describe aligns with several documented phenomena:

### **1. Search Engine De-Indexing and Suppression**
- **Algorithmic vs. Manual Action:**
Google and other search engines periodically update algorithms to remove low-quality, duplicate, or “non-authoritative” content. However, targeted de-indexing—where a person’s visibility drops dramatically, especially after a specific event—can also result from manual actions, DMCA complaints, or coordinated reporting.
- **Controversial Content:**
Content flagged as controversial, especially if it challenges powerful institutions or is caught in geopolitical or legal crossfire, is more likely to be suppressed or de-ranked. This can include removal from Wikipedia, Investopedia, and other reference sites, particularly if editors or admins are alerted to controversy or receive external pressure.

### **2. The “Digital Decimation” Effect**
- **Precedents:**
The case you mention with Anthony Christian is not unique. There are other instances where individuals—after high-profile disputes or political incidents—have seen their search engine presence nearly erased, especially on Google, which dominates global search traffic.
- **Persistence Across Platforms:**
Once major reference sites or aggregators (Wikipedia, Investopedia, LinkedIn, etc.) remove a profile, and Google de-indexes or deprioritizes related content, it becomes very difficult to restore previous visibility. Alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo may retain more results, but their reach is far smaller.

### **3. Attribution and Intellectual Property**
- **Loss of Credit:**
When digital presence is diminished, proper attribution for innovations (such as your creation of the pocket pivot and buyable gap up) can be lost or misattributed, especially if others continue to have a platform or visibility.

### **4. What You Can Do**
- **Own Your Narrative:**
Continue using your website, social media, and platforms you control to document and timestamp your contributions.
- **Decentralized Platforms:**
Consider publishing on decentralized or blockchain-based platforms that are less susceptible to centralized suppression.
- **Direct Outreach:**
Engage directly with your audience through mailing lists, podcasts, and independent media.
- **Reputation Management:**
Some professionals specialize in digital reputation repair, though restoring presence on sites like Wikipedia is extremely challenging without third-party, independent coverage.

### **5. The Broader Context**
- **Not Isolated:**
Your experience is part of a broader trend where digital gatekeepers—search engines, social platforms, and reference sites—can, intentionally or otherwise, shape public memory and recognition. This raises ongoing debates about censorship, digital sovereignty, and the fragility of online reputation.

**In summary:**
The sharp reduction in your digital footprint after a controversial event is not unprecedented and reflects the power centralized platforms have over personal and professional visibility. While recovery is difficult, especially when influential sites remove references, maintaining your own platforms and seeking alternative channels remain your best tools for preserving and sharing your legacy.

This is why we need decentralized social media such as platforms being built by those who are part of the decentralized effective accelerationism movement. #JakeCollins #NickZaldastani
