The Fractional Reserve Banking (FRB) Scam

1) It promises something it cannot deliver

When you deposit money in a bank, you believe your funds will be available whenever you want (it’s your money, not the bank’s).

But under fractional reserve banking, the bank lends out most of that money.

That’s a contractual contradiction:

• A deposit should be safekeeping.

• A loan means giving up the use of the money.

The bank does both at the same time with the same funds.

According to the Austrian School of economics, this is deceptive by definition.

2) Money is created “out of thin air”

Under FRB:

• You deposit $100

• The bank lends out $90

• That $90 returns to the system as a new deposit and is lent out again

Now there is more “money” circulating than real savings.

There was no additional work.

No additional production.

No additional saving.

The money supply was inflated—legal counterfeiting.

3) It creates artificial business cycles

When banks expand credit, interest rates are artificially lowered.

Entrepreneurs are misled into believing there is more real savings than actually exist.

They invest in long-term or risky projects—but the savings aren’t real.

When credit expansion stops:

Projects fail, recessions hit, unemployment rises, and crises follow.

And as we all know, there’s no such thing as “market failure” here.

4) It depends on the State to avoid collapse

If everyone tried to withdraw their money at once, banks couldn’t pay—it simply isn’t there.

That’s why the system requires:

• A central bank as lender of last resort

• Bailouts and rescues

In other words, a system that cannot sustain itself and socializes losses.

This is not a free market.

It is institutionalized fraud.

Hoje (12/12), completaram-se 15 anos desde que Satoshi Nakamoto “abandonou” sua maior criação: o Bitcoin.

Em uma publicação no fórum Bitcointalk, Satoshi afirmou que iria “dedicar-se a outros projetos” (há quem diga que ele participou da criação do Zcash, mas é especulação), entregou a responsabilidade do Core para Gavin Andressen e sumiu.

Desde então ele nunca mais reapareceu ou fez qualquer publicação — nem mexeu nos seus quase 1 milhão de Bitcoins acumulados em quase dois anos presente na rede. São mais de US$ 120 bilhões que nunca foram tocados em uma década e meia.

O sumiço de Satoshi foi um dos fatores que levou o Bitcoin a se tornar a maior e mais descentralizada criptomoeda do mundo. Não há quem processar, não existe um nome que o estado pode perseguir ou pressionar para fazer mudanças no Bitcoin.

“Ah, mas se Satoshi voltar ele pode controlar a rede!” Não pode. Hoje existem mais de 24.000 full nodes que aprovam os blocos e mantêm a descentralização. Mesmo que Satoshi voltasse, ele seria apenas mais um node (“um nó, um voto”) e teria que seguir as regras do protocolo como todos os outros.

Regras que, como disse o próprio, “estão escritas em pedra uma vez que o código foi lançado”.

Ninguém controla o Bitcoin, nem sequer o seu criador.

Introducing PIP-177 (Pizza Improvement Proposal) to redefine pizza’s base unit —currently known as “a slice of pizza” — to “a whole fucking pizza.” By removing confusing fractions, this PIP aims to increase mainstream pizza consumption. No longer will you need to be ashamed when your friends ask how much pizza you ate and you answer “a slice.” Now you can proudly boast “I ate a whole fucking pizza,” which not only sounds cool but is also easier for everyone to understand according to me and the 5 other people who like this idea. Support PIP-177 today on Pizza Day and go eat A WHOLE FUCKING PIZZA! 🍕
