This can go on for quite some time. Between futures, etfs, seized BTC, Tether etc, they can buy and sell to themselves, making up potential losses by printing a little bit of money. A strategic reserve would make it even easier. At the same time, have Tucker and Snowden spread privacy FUD and all the other attack vectors…
Of course, you’re missing, household, state and local, business debt.
You don’t have to put the word biological in front of the gender. It’s by definition. ;)
Did the US end up with this scenario by sheer luck? Because, if Russia and China had bought all the #Bitcoin they could have over the last 10+ years, the jig would have been up for the US. They could have induced a collapse. So are they stupid, or in on it?
Firstly, in the debt based fiat system, one doesn’t need taxes, since the central government can just “print” the money (I.e. issue the additional debt). So taxes are just an additional lever to keep you “enslaved,” whilst productive.
Secondly, under a #Bitcoin standard, ironically, communities do need to pool their money for community services. Since it’s very painful though, communities will need to make tough choices as to what to spend their money on. The original US system was set up to make those decisions from the bottom up with sovereignty in decreasing order: family, community, city, county, state and federal. Of course, corruption has inverted that…
Here’s everything you need:
LOL. They’re certainly still struggling with narcissism and greed. Not to worry though, #Bitcoin caters to greed during hyperbitcoinization by offering an unproportional increase in purchasing power to early adopters while slowly turning towards altruism.
The Strategic National Stockpile, originally called the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile, is the United States' national repository of antibiotics, vaccines, chemical antidotes, antitoxins, and other critical medical supplies.
My man, the Keynsian’s got you so confused. Let’s play a word association game. Should help you get back to the roots of our language. If you blur the meaning of words, we can’t communicate. Here are my associations:
Money-gold (interestingly, confusingly, serves two purposes. A commodity ie raw material for jewlery, and, separately, money)
Property-land
Commodity-wheat
Investment-open a bakery
Woman-baby
Man-…
You can’t invest money in money
You can’t eat money
You can’t grow things on money
A man can’t have babies
Etc
Yes, a man is also a human, but a man is not a woman. And yes, the first five are also assets („enough to settle a will“). But money is not a commodity, property (any item that a person or a business has legal title over. Property can be tangible items, such as houses, cars, or appliances, or it can refer to intangible items that carry the promise of future worth, such as stock and bond certificates), nor an investment etc etc
Why would you want to classify money that way anyway?
And what’s so frustrating is, that if they were maxis and focus their time and resources on #Bitcoin, we’d all win. And we’d be a lot further along the way to a more abundant and better world. So there’s that.
If understand #Bitcoin, but undermine it, isn’t that evil?
They’re still trying to hold on to that dollar :) of course, #Bitcoin is also an immutable ledger and P2P medium of exchange. It’s simply money. Pretty legit.
Money is money, time is time, a commodity is a commodity, property is property, a man is a man, a woman is a woman etc . Or, to confuse people, they are all the same.
A commodity, before the intentional redefinition is something you can eat or a raw material. Which makes sense. You can’t eat money, nor is it a raw material. If it’s money it’s money. Why also categorize it as a commodity?
IMO, since there’s so much confusion out there, KISS. #Bitcoin is money (SoV, UoA, MoE with fixed supply). While the meaning of many words has intentionally been blurred, #Bitcoin is not a commodity, asset, investment nor property in the strictest sense. People who categorize #Bitcoin into anything other than money usually have an ulterior motive to tax, regulate and control it.
While communism in the USSR was pretty blunt, it’s very sophisticated in the US now. The meaning of words has been changed intentionally to confuse us. What is a woman? A vaccine is no longer a vaccine. Capitalism is Communism.
George Orwell discusses the decline of language as the intentional manipulation of vocabulary to limit thought and maintain control, which he explores through the concept of Newspeak in '1984' and criticizes in 'Politics and the English Language'.
