What a bunch of nonsense. Decentralized crypto has been demonized from the very beginning by TPTB. If they secretly wanted for us to adopt Bitcoin, they would not have demonized it as much as they've done. They want us to vaccinate, so obviously they talk in a positive manner about vaccinations. They want us to use Facebook, so all the bad stuff (like child porn networks and censorship on FB) is not given a lot of attention. There's is no logical argument to make why the cabal has demonized crypto so much while they secretly want us to adopt it. Doesn't make any sense.
And why are they trying to create their own Central Bank Issued Crypto? Because these "crypto" coins can be controlled centrally by them. This is the type of crypto coin they want. Not the decentralized ones. Bitcoin is decentralized and is to central banking (cabal power) what torrenting is to Hollywood and the music industry.
If there's a psyop going on with crypto, it's these types of posts that continuously talk bad about crypto. This is happening a lot on this board as well.
I'm okay with people not understanding or not liking crypto, but I'm getting really sick and tired of people who have an outspoken opinion on a complicated subject matter and all they do is shout out some generalizations.
I bet that most people with an outspoken negative opinion on crypto, don't even understand the difference between Bitcoin and CBDCs.
And there you go again with your childish "lol" remark ,which I've seen you make more often in these types of discussions.
I've just typed a relatively long reply and you have nothing to say while you are the one that's constantly pushing this anti-crypto narrative on this board.
Why did TPTB demonize Bitcoin from the beginning when they actually want us to use it? Explain that to me please.
Also explain to me why they demonize decentralized crypto and are pushing their own centralized CBDCs?
Why did TPTB demonize Bitcoin from the beginning when they actually want us to use it? Explain that to me please.
It's pretty simple, the NPC class of society are perfectly happy and fine using fiat coins and need a good reason to move over, a good reason here meaning an Earth moving compulsion. You appeal to the "fringe" elements and then libertarians and then gamer girls and then the normies will follow like water flows down hill.
Do something like print 60 gorillion trillion dollars of fiat to shake the tree and get boomers et al moving into Crypto, stage a FF of sorts in the crypto space, public demand CBDC, give it to them.
The playbook is old, you should read it sometime. You can talk about "Demonization" like it means something all day, it's fucking illegal to collect your own rainwater in some areas of the US, to believe they couldn't just ban BTC "Cus it would be too hard" is your bias thinking for you.
Nice try. The truth of the matter is that your explanation iis way too convoluted.
If TPTB can get normies to inject themselves with clot shots by saying these shots are healthy, then they don't need some intricate plan with all sorts of fake outs to get people to embrace CBDCs.
And Bitcoin can be banned in the same sense that torrenting can be banned.
How does Bitcoin not hit an energy brick wall?
I wish I had a laptop mining it from the very start, I would be rich.
Now you need to siphon power off a hydroelectric plant (a recent case) to have enough electricity to make semi serious money.
At some point in the future will it not take the entire energy output of our sun to resolve the ledger?
Am I missing something, because I really don't know that much about crypto?
Have they found a way to reduce the ridiculous energy component and it's associated fuckery, like hoovering up all the world's graphics cards even before the supply chain issues?
Yes. Its called proof of stake. Its existed for almost a decade and most modern protocols use it already or are transitioning. But the amount of energy is partially what derives its value. You cant create new bitcoins from nothing. You need to invest real world commodities
Watch the youtube video “The Great Reset and The Rise of Bitcoin” you will find out that the amount of energy that Bitcoin uses is overblown. Much of the energy Bitcoin runs off of is renewables and energy that would have been wasted otherwise. Not to mention it only uses a tiny fraction of energy that the current banks use. But they dont want to tell you that because theyre afraid of Bitcoin giving power to the individual to be their own bank and no be reliant on central banks and fiat.
There's thousands of "crypto's" I'll usher that "mining" these "coins" has been a substantial source of the carbon contribution... And meanwhile depleting fossil fuel back-ups!
All a push for the "meta" verse, digital dystopia?
If you really want to get good answers on how Bitcoin works, I would advise you to listen to Andreas Antonopoulos. He is a master at explaining things:
My kid has ten towers mining crypto as we speak. In my family we have land, gold amd silver, crypto and cattle commodities in the form af a ranch with 1000 head. It's not all mine it's the family as a whole. Whatever happens, one or more of those will prosper.
What I do know is that anytime the Media demonizes something, I look into the opposite of what they say to do because that is basically the truth.
The media did demonize crypto for a long time, but now, many are getting into Bitcoin and recommending it. It is hard to distinguish what is going on.
The likely best way to combat this is to own silver, gold, property, food, guns, and crypto. Have to minimize the risk across the board.
Bottom line, we can suspect here on this board, but no one know shit. Hence, why this place even exists so that we can come together and try to figure things out.
I am into crypto, but I do understand the dangers of the technology in terms of control. Blockchain is an amazing technology that is and will change the world. But if we are not careful, it will fuck us in the butt.
I honestly think the answer is to become self sustaining for food and creating localized economies with people who are awake. Who knows what will happen, but I do know these evil fucks will not go down without trying to ruin everything in the process.
I support crypto, but I am actively trying to spread it around to prepare for the shitstorm. But I do look into the most decentralized structures and support those cryptocurrencies.
CNBC, Bloomberg and other more financially focused outlets have changed their tune on Bitcoin, but this took a long time. A lot of the other MSM outlets still talk a lot of nonsense about Bitcoin. Especially the climate nonsense was weaponized against Bitcoin even up to last year.
And yes, it's always best to diversify. So gold, silver, property, etc. should still be high on people's lists.
I mean its pretty obvious they demonized it at first because it was worth like less tham $1 a coin and they knew it would enter 5 digits and they dont want a bunch of middle class people getting super rich. Now that they are pushing it we know itll never surge up like that again.
Its being adopted more and more and hedge funds are adding it to their balance sheet. Theyre not doing that because they expect it to go down over time. Over the next 10 years you can bet it will be significantly higher at least 10x
I think youre missing the point if my comment. They didnt advertise it positively in the begining because they didnt want to make a bunch of people rich, but now it goes up and down like every other stock so a ton of people will lose money on it, and a bunch of randos cannot become rich over a 1 dollar investment so TPTB have no issues advertising positively now as its the same as stocks. Some people make good money but the vast majoroty just lose and lose and lose.
so what happens when they cut off your internet/electricity? or direct the site hosting your “wallet” to freeze said wallet? If your backup plan relies on infrastructure that (((they))) can control and fuck with you have netted nothing useful.
i’m converting my fiat to real estate. Anything electronic is for suckers.
There is no site hosting your wallet if you use Bitcoin as intended. If you keep your Bitcoin on an exchange, then you might be in trouble yes. But if you keep your private keys at home under your own control, there's no way to freeze your account.
And if the internet goes down forever, then we have bigger problems in the world. In a Mad Max type of world, Bitcoin can not exist and is useless.
what happens when the government makes bitcoin illegal and “confiscates” it? and don’t doubt they will do it because this exact tactic was used in the past with gold.
what happens when they make it illegal for any retailers to accept crypto?
also where can you buy groceries with crypto? I’ve yet to see it as a payment option anywhere i shop.
They can't confiscate Bitcoin. That's not how it works. They would have to steal your private keys of you and these keys can exist solely in your head. Maybe if they torture you they can confiscate your Bitcoin.
And yes they can make it illegal just as they made torrenting illegal. But torrenting is still happening a lot so government bans would not be some sort of final end point for Bitcoin.
And in El Salvador you can buy your groceries with Bitcoin now since BTC is legal tender there. There are other places you can use your Bitcoin to buy everyday items. But it's the same as with the internet: it needs time to grow and then at a certain point it's everywhere. We haven't reached that stage yet and that's the reason why you can't pay with Bitcoin everywhere.
You can however get debit cards that you load up with Bitcoin and then you can actually pay for your groceries with Bitcoin.
the problem with digital currency and digital wallets is that they are not extendeable or they cant survive solar flare, big hack attacks, they depend on machines, servers and infrastructure. Another problem is that FBI owns 200.000 btc after SilkRoad destruction and C_A owns God knows how much, as well as CCP and other foreign actors. We are late to the party and not much into this game. Better buy DWAC and GME and Hodl
but they don't really demonize crypto tho. there's hardly any censorship of it. there's constant ads for them on CNBC. and bitcoin is the closest thing to being decentralized, but it's not private. there's a couple that i like, but i know the rug can get pulled on those at anytime. all those people doing transactions outside of KYC exchanges are gonna get tangled up in IRS crap when KYC threshold keeps getting lowered. CBDC is what they truly desire, but cryptos were the prelude. i also think the scale tips toward the theory that blockchain was created by DARPA and released. do you really think satoshi is truly anonymous?
Yes they do demonize crypto. I've been reading crypto news almost daily for almost 10 years. The demonization has become less because Bitcoin has now officially become an accepted financial instrument in a lot of countries. But this was an uphill battle and was NOT welcomed by TPTB.
Then your remark "CBDC is want they truly desire, but cryptos were the prelude."
What does this remark even mean? Bitcoin, decentralized crypto, is something entirely different than CBDCs. Why would they first dangle an amazingly powerful technology in front of us, to then move to something that's completely different?
by prelude i mean public acceptance of digital currency towards going cashless. they demonize it like a sheepdog growls and nips at what he's herding, but they don't demonize it like a wolf attack.
This is the biggest psyop. No, they dont want us to adopt Bitcoin because Bitcoin is not suitable to be adopted universally no matter how much people might love it. I have gone into great details as to why it is but it comes down to - too expensive, too slow, too manipulable (yes it is being manipulated by ETFs, Exchanges, compute control etc etc), but most importantly not enough flexible supply to make it usable by governments.
They gave us "poisoned fruit" specifically to ensure we would fall in love with it, but then we would require slightly different implementation for it to be usable, and thats where the bait and switch will happen.
The reality is, this bait and switch will happen both ways. The Cabal will try to switch us to use CBDC. The white hats will instead switch it into a real freedom crypto - probably something not widely known at this point.
Great take on things. Crypto is rapidly becoming centralized anyway. Either from a mining perspective or the on/off ramps (read: exchanges) requiring capital controls. I'm (still) bagholding coins from 2013 that I'd like to offload, but think I missed the boat for early retirement. I have skin in the game, at least.
Personally, I don't believe the good guys are going to step in - they'll just let crypto die a "natural" death, once CBDCs are exposed. Blockchain technology is here to stay, whether certain popular coins fade away or not remains to be seen.
I think everyone in this thread can agree on one point: holding FIAT currency is a losing proposition with what we all know is coming. There are many ways to get out of fiat: precious metals, crypto, hard commodities (if you can't hold it, you don't own it), dry/canned goods and foods, firearms/bullets - anything that has trading value. Holding certain select stock securities as well: AMC, GME, DWAC, PSLV, metal miners. Real estate is hard to recommend, because of the fact that all the government has to do is jack your property tax up until you can't afford the real estate anymore.....so you technically cannot own it.
My reasoning is that there's not much I can do for a true "safe haven" in an account like 401k, other than simply shitcan the whole thing, pay the penalty, then reinvest the meager leftovers in physical assets. I'm thinking hard about doing it, but don't quite have the cajones, yet.
Metals community is pretty split over if investing in PSLV is truly worth it (try asking on WSS and it's usually a shitshow), but it's objectionably better than going with straight SLV, which is how the metals market is manipulated.
As wordy aS your post it is, it's all generalization.
And I wouldn't count on them following your rule of did they demonize it or did they support it. Those guys aren't that simple. I can see a scenario where bitcojn, the first big crypto is totally controlled by them.
Total.speculation but possible just like your belief in bitcoin. What I am about is blockchain, that is why some form of crypto would be good. Is bitcoin the one?. I'm not convinced.

These question are very simple and if you want to keep your credibility you should answer these questions:
Why did TPTB demonize Bitcoin from the beginning when they actually want us to use it? Explain that to me please.
Also explain to me why they demonize decentralized crypto and are pushing their own centralized CBDCs?
Yeah and that person will be you.
It's pretty simple, the NPC class of society are perfectly happy and fine using fiat coins and need a good reason to move over, a good reason here meaning an Earth moving compulsion. You appeal to the "fringe" elements and then libertarians and then gamer girls and then the normies will follow like water flows down hill.

We will all be moving tonweb 3.0 blockchain something for sure.
We must. That's how we exit their fake economic bullshit.
But, it's far from established as the means yet.

I own some crypto...it's just throw away money I put into it, namely all those unnecessary stimulus checks and a couple thousand here and there.
I did it on a chance. That's all it is for me.
If you can do that, then why not buy some crypto?
If I kept the money, I probably would have just spent it on some super high dollar bottle of bourbon or something.
I basically traded that money for a chance at more money much later on. Who knows what will happen?
Tell me you own silver?!
Yea, I don't know what to think anymore.
What I do know is that anytime the Media demonizes something, I look into the opposite of what they say to do because that is basically the truth.

i diversify. I own 3k in gold, 3k in silver and 3k in BTC/ETH.
Rest is cash and fiat savings. Spread your eggs into many baskets and you'll be fine.
Owning gold and silver is silly, sell your gold and buy silver, you wont regret it.
Premium spread on physical is godawful, I'd say no more than what you already have.
CNBC, Bloomberg and other more financially focused outlets have changed their tune on Bitcoin, but this took a long time. A lot of the other MSM outlets still talk a lot of nonsense about Bitcoin. Especially the climate nonsense was weaponized against Bitcoin even up to last year.

Why would you do this? Isn't it still just like SLV - paper silver?
But yeah I agree with most of the sentiment.
My reasoning is that there's not much I can do for a true "safe haven" in an account like 401k, other than simply shitcan the whole thing, pay the penalty, then reinvest the meager leftovers in physical assets. I'm thinking hard about doing it, but don't quite have the cajones, yet.
Metals community is pretty split over if investing in PSLV is truly worth it (try asking on WSS and it's usually a shitshow), but it's objectionably better than going with straight SLV, which is how the metals market is manipulated.
At least with PSLV, there is a physical holding/accounting component and Eric Sprott is a big name. https://sprott.com/investment-strategies/physical-bullion-trusts/silver/#. They also have a "real" process for taking delivery. Unlike taking delivery from SLV/COMEX.
Always prefer physical, but when your options are limited...
