Christine Lagarde confirms the digital euro launches in October.

They say it’s about convenience. But they’ll track every payment, block purchases, and control where you spend.

CBDCs aren’t money, they’re permission slips.

US foreign policy makes a lot more sense once you look at it through the lens of personal profits. All politicians are for sale, presidents, congress members. It’s a place to enrich oneself at any cost. These people don’t ask for much either - for less than half a billion you can hire the entire US government to do your bidding and reap you many billions in profit.

The goal is never to help the little guy, the every day folk. It’s to make sure they don’t rise up while you steal as much as possible in the process.

The utter State of that union

Okay, the govt of El Salvador is directly contradicting itself regarding how Bitcoin policy will change as a result of a loan agreement with the IMF

Let me show you. I brought receipts

Yesterday the IMF released a detailed (111 page) document outlining the agreement and supporting documentation

This includes a Letter of Intent (LOI) from, and signed by, the government of El Salvador dated Feb 11th. It outlines various financial reforms they intend to make as part of them asking for an IMF loan [screenshot1/ pages 68-69].

The El Salvador govt details the changes they are proposing, including the line "....as per agreement with the IMF, we will no longer accumulate new Bitcoins in our portfolio." [screenshot 2/ page77]

Clear definitions of what is considered 'the public sector' as well as a mandate prohibiting ANY new bitcoin accumulation (except via seizure) is additionally outlined [screenshot3/ page89]

That was released yesterday. Today, seemingly in response to Bitcoiners reading the agreement and pointing out various changes that were agreed upon, the president tweeted that Bitcoin accumulation is 'not stopping' [screenshot4]

So, WTF is happening? The El Salvador govt is disagreeing with itself--simultaneously saying they will stop accumulating Bitcoin AND that it is 'not stopping'

It's impossible for both to be true

Or anyone that wants to take or harm a kid.

COINBASE? BISQ. GOT IT. APPARENTLY, "EASY" IS OVERRATED.
