Yeah, that meeting on Jekyll island fucked things up
Discussion
100%. That was the end of the Republic.
100%. But leading up to that meeting was a big debate in the 1800's about central control versus decentralization (state power).
The Power structure won in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve. It's really been downhill since. The world has actually been in a constant state of war ever since.
When a few men in the world control the money (the financially protected class) there will ALWAYS be conflict (no free markets).
You could actually go back to the Civil War - many were taught to believe it was about slavery. It was not. Slavery was being phased out anyway. It was about property rights. The north wanted a strong CENTRAL/Collectivist government, and they won - and wrote the history books.
The south actually lost the war because they over printed money (yes, the south had their own currency and it hyper-inflated - like ALL wars the country that hyper inflates their fiat first loses). Once the south lost, we started the LONG journey to a large central government, Federal Reserve, Jekyll Island, and 1971, and here we are...
Bitcoin will finally change the course of human civilization. If Gold somehow wins (highly unlikely), we continue down the path of endless wars and booms/busts where most are slaves to a system owned by a few Elites that control the money.
