CBDC - For THEM not US
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I am 100% for all Gov $'s to be tracked via CBDC on an open ledger that we get to track and account for every dollar they receive and spend.
No more of this endless money that goes to their special interests and is laundered around the world back to the deep states pockets.
They make the nonsense CBDC's to control us, I say hell no to that - but they should be 100% controlled by their own evil creation. No more billions disappearing into the deep state swamp... hopefully the white hats have this game planned out to implement against the creators.
"There is a difference..." If nobody wants it, nobody wants it, and the value is zero. Yes, this can happen to gold, too, (for example) through factors like government force or other influence. The precious metals market can also be manipulated, proving that gold holds no inherent value. Discussions of intrinsic and extrinsic value are academic; if no one wants the stuff for any reason, its value becomes zero.
The difference is that gold and silver have actual uses for electrical/technological uses. They have actual real industrial uses and are extremely commonplace in my field of work. They are so important that a huge spike in price would be quite devastating. The discussions in references to intrinsic and extrinsic are actually quite pertinent when you are discussing ideological value vs practical value. Most people view precious metals as purely a monetary instrument, however it is far more pervasive into our lives than people realize. Every piece of electronic gear that you own has a substantial amount of precious metals that are essential for reliable durability and for optimal operation.
"The difference is that gold and silver have actual uses..." Bitcoin has an "actual" use: it's a weapon.
Nothing has inherent, immutable value, including precious metals. It's just consumer interest (including industrial consumers). Metals are interchangeable in applications, with compromise in their properties. "...intrinsic and extrinsic..." is just a way of insinuating inherent value where none truly exists. All the "...intrinsic and extrinsic..." talk truly amounts to is an academic discussion about consumer interest.
Either people (and industry) want a thing or they don't; that is the only source of value in anything, gold included. Material applications are just another form of consumer interest and they are not immutable.
My industry is not consumer based. It actually has nothing to do with consumerism, it is based on the properties of the metals and their unique uses. The prices of the products are irrelevant because we spend other people's money to buy them, so the uses are determined by the material properties and the requirement for these to be perform at a certain level for decades.
"My industry is not consumer based." There's always a consumer somewhere in business or there's no business. Manufacturers are also consumers.
"...the uses are determined by the material properties..." Those aren't immutable circumstances. Applications don't imply inherent value. Needs change. Materials can become outmoded, even just by their cost when a reasonable material compromise exists. Materials or certain material applications can even be outlawed. If nobody wants a thing, the thing becomes valueless.
