On making sixty million from Paypal: "Okay, I'm going to put thirty million into an electric car company and thirty million into a rocket company."
"But Elon, don't you want to live a little and enjoy some?"
"No. Thirty million each with not a penny left over... and, by the way, can I sleep on your couch? I don't have a home right now."
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is oil and gas producers get Bitcoin for free from gas flaring.
Flared gas is "stranded energy". Energy producers have to burn off excess gas, and there was nothing economical to do with it until bitcoin mining. Energy producers can generate power from the flared gas and use it to power mining rigs. As far as an energy producer goes, paying in Bitcoin is super easy because it's virtually a waste product.
This may have been the plan all along. The City of London, the Globalists and the Banking cartels will lose all of their leverage if this stands.
This is an old article (from 2008) that details how they priced people out of standing as independents: https://news.sky.com/story/huge-cost-of-becoming-an-mp-pricing-people-out-of-politics-11489543
I'm British and live in London.
Let me explain how we got here.
The rot came under Prime Minister, David Cameron when the rules of democracy were quietly changed that stopped anybody from standing for parliament.
Up to this point, anybody could pay a £500 deposit and stand for election. Cameron and the Davos crowd changed the rules so that only members from "qualified political parties" could stand, and to register as a party cost tens of thousands of pounds.
They made it too expensive for ordinary people to stand for parliament.
From that moment on, we've been controlled by a Davos-aligned uni-party, that us ordinary Brits have been powerless against.
Ordinary Brits are praying that Trump succeeds. We're in hell.
More than twenty years ago I remember watching a news item on the Trilateral Commission. This was a Globalist organisation set up by Rockefella. The stated goal was to merge the world's countries into 3 superstates of Americas, Europe and Asia, and then turn Africa into the industrial and manufacturing engine room of the world. Back then it sounded crazy. Now, I'm not so sure.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but despite all those explosions, I can't find any bombing assessments or casualty figures. Were Team America bombing parking lots and tennis courts? Did they really find Maduro before he could flee and without his security team putting up a fight?
My guess is this was staged for optics and Maduro had already negotiated his surrender. The real prize could be "Smartmatic".
If all the paper contracts are stripped out over the next few years (and they are being stripped out), then gold should be at $40,000 per troy oz The average Gold/Silver ratio is 30:1 Thinking like this, if "The Great Debasement" happens and we do get to 40K gold, then silver should be around $1,300 Sounds crazy? I remember when the idea of Bitcoin going to $10K was crazy.
I discovered that ALICE is an acronym in Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity). It is those chat-bots that flood online discussion groups to try and shape the public conversation.

The Unabomber said it even better in his manifesto. You might find the source controversial, but Paragraph 16 has become lifelong wisdom for me:
Words like “self-confidence,” “self-reliance,” “initiative,” “enterprise,” “optimism,” etc., play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone’s problems for them, satisfy everyone’s needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.
There's no reason to get too excited with this. The Bitcoins were protected with vintage security, meaning the wallet address had a "seed-phrase" (a password) made up of 12 numbers.
They've upgraded to a much stronger, up to date security called Muti-Sig (Multiple Signature) which requires at a minimum, two seed-phrases made up of 20 numbers each.
Think of it like they were storing gold in the vault of their local bank, but the gold has gone up in value so much they've transferred it to Fort Knox for safer storage.
I always thought Q's Godfather 3 reference was a nod to the mysterious death of "God's Banker" Roberto Calvi. One of the most influential Vatican financiers of his time. Calvi's death is an important subplot in Godfather 3. In real life, Roberto Calvi fled to London in 1982 under a fake passport, but was later found hanging from a bridge (ruled as murder).
Read the wiki and you'll see why this is relevant now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Calvi
I'm in the UK and the real fear is that "Restore" are splitting the vote and siphoning votes from "Reform"
Restore are absolutely helping the entrenched political parties (and the conspiracy theory is this is the plan). Reform may lose this by-election because of Restore.
