The history of the Bank of Amsterdam outlined in Nik Bhatia’s Layered Money is as fascinating as it is horrifying.

It all started in 1609 when the BOA launched a platform for free & instant settlement. Sounds great, until…

The BOA mandates all gold and silver coins in Amsterdam be deposited at the bank.

Now the government had absolute financial surveillance over the economy because it centrally routed all transactions here.

Later the BOA rug pulls depositors by eliminating the ability to withdraw precious metal altogether.

This would influence the Bank of England and subsequently the Federal Reserve.

Much more financial fuckery covered in the book. #[0] ‘s

The piece of paper called cash only came about because of the gold it represented.

Limited government: Liberals believe that the government should have limited power and should not interfere in people's lives more than is necessary. They believe that the government should focus on protecting individual rights and freedoms, providing basic services like education and healthcare, and promoting the common good.

Rule of Law: Liberals believe in the the rule of law. They believe that government should be accountable to the people and that individuals should have a say in how they are governed.

Free markets: Liberals believe in the importance of free markets and competition. They believe that the economy should be regulated in a way that promotes innovation, growth, and prosperity for all, while also protecting consumers and the environment.
