I wouldn't be surprised to dump a bunch of money into Bitcoin futures to try and get it to tank on its way up too.

They want to be the only safe haven.

Saw a story about a bag of rocks that was supposed to contain silver stored somewhere.

It all seems coordinated.

On the plus side, they haven't even begun planning or coding or even giving much thought to implementing it. The UK couldn't even switch the NHS over to a new IT system without taking ten years, going horrendously over budget, and totally fucking it all up. I have great faith in the government's inability to do IT. And they've overplayed their hand; they've pushed the system too far before they were ready to put one in place smoothly. Bitcoin is already ready.

It was born ready.
