Same rarity but the rumour I heard (unsure if true?) was the guy who created it did so so he could “recover his” (some say steal Satoshi’s) Bitcoin
And that the guy, Craig W something runs round claiming he’s Satoshi but refuses to provide the indisputable proof by signing something with his keys.
The other thing I’ve heard is something about the block size making Bitcoin cash network more in the hands of universities and institutions?
Anyway appreciate you talking about it with me!
Ok , so the thing about Bitcoin going down/away in the way you describe is the entire world would need to go out at the same time or because of its decentralized consensus it will just keep going and when you eventually get back online all your Bitcoin will still be there
Even if a scenario where most of the world went offline and someone decided to use the window to do a 51% attack, because of the blockchain, people would just agree on a date pre-EMP to restore it to and continue from (undoing the attack).
So to answer your original question where you’d go to claim your lost assets? Your wallet
Ah, but what if you lose your device in the chaos of its fried? Screwed right?
Nope. Your recovery phrase is all that needed to get back everything you own.
Try doing that with gold you dropped somewhere along the way becuase you had to move quickly like your life depended on it :)
You are correct in your critiques but have been sold a central banker lie about it being the shittiest pick.
Bitcoin is the first real competitor to fiat. Accordingly, as always when you’re over the target, the attacks and subversion is thick and heavy.
Yes it has its faults. And there’s probably a coordinated attempt by many entities to restrain or control it. But despite all these imperfections it still stands. It’s perfectly imperfect.
But the fact that it has weathered all that and is still yet to fall is, to me, merely a sign that this is a David vs Goliath battle and the solution isn’t to surrender our slingshot
I see it this way:
If Trump came out or comes out against the vaccine, the media and the dogmatic left will NEVER allow the truth to come out about the vaccine deaths and injuries.
There needs to be a Nuremberg 2.0 of sorts to hold all those who broke the law etc to account.
For that to happen, I believe, Trump knows he must stay out of it to avoid polarising the issue on political lines. While it’s obvious to everyone that the vast majority of purebloods are indeed Trump supporters, not all are
And if we want to see the people responsible held to account, it’s critical that it’s not a Trump vs his enemies thing but The People vs the crooks thing.. where everyone’s conduct, including Trumps, is investigated.
Trump is protected because he has ALWAYS stood behind peoples right to choose. Many others however are VERY exposed.
So to summarise; strategically, coming out against it offers very little advantage for him because when they try to flip it and blame him, the evidence clears him but not his enemies.
“The cover up is worse than the crime”
It’s my opinion that Trump knew they’d come after him to try to clean up their own trail of illegally
The raid was the predicted cover up.
But the coverup is what will unravel it all.
“What were they trying to cover up?”
Leads to
“What other actions were the actions were taken as part of this?”
Answer: The raid on Rudy.
“What did Rudy have that would have made them want to do a coverup/clean up?”
The Laptop from Hell
“What’s on there?”
Everything.
4 years of Trump means 4 years of the corrupt-o-class not getting their kickbacks from selling their influence to foreign countries
Imo this was how they laundered the money for outstanding debts and favours that accumulated over the last 4 years
So many comments, but only this one calls it correctly.
Properly secured crypto (Bitcoin) cannot be seized nor can it be stopped from being used. Doesn’t matter how much they convince themselves that they are the masters of the universe, they can’t do it.
They can’t do it because there’s no central entity to go blackmail, there’s no country to go invade, no IP address to block/censor. They’d have to shut down the entire power grid around the world ALL at the same time because of its decentralised nature.
In fact, I’m beginning to wonder if the militant anti-bitcoin people are an op, try to lead people away from a solution that is actually a threat to their system of control.
As good as precious metals may be, they are impractical. They are easy to seize and hard to transfer — a great way to keep the influence of a large group of people contained to what they can carry and defend.
Take the L Scott
Poor guy. He wants desperately to claim he had a smart take on the COVID bullshit. But he didn’t. At best he might be able to claim he didn’t pick a side… which is what he’s trying to do
But he’s trying himself in knots trying to do it because it’s semantics after the fact, not the actual stance he took.
I think people are far too quick to hate on Alex Jones given his contribution-whacky or not- to waking people up.
I think it’s pretty simple:
The entire point of Q, whether a larp or not, was/is to get people to turn their brains back on and start digging for themselves. Not just waiting for some talking heads to tell them what to think
To my knowledge there wasn’t a specific: “Alex Jones is bad” but more of a be careful who you follow(?)
To me I see it more as: that doesn’t mean Jones is a bad guy or a good guy. It means he is a man with a business who needs to make money to keep the lights on. Your interests may overlap or they may not. That’s not the point. The point is the only one who can look out for your own best interest is YOU.
You are 100% correct I’m afraid
There is and will continue to be a big push to get everything digitised
Which is conflicting for me because on the surface level there are benefits BUT it’s naïve to not note the serious and significant risks associated.
I have seen quite elaborate discussions on how to digitise things AND try to protect peoples privacy but I fear that without essentially breaking up the ‘monopoly of government’ it will always and eventually used for removing freedom. I think - at best- it’s an arms race between libertarians who are building with freedom/privacy in mind and those who want to shackle the people
Did some research
Smells fishy to me. Especially the response to adding a back door/virus, sounds more like someone’s Hollywood interpretation of how that works.
I’m also not convinced by the argument that they’d just seize everything and assume things like gold, silver and crypto (Bitcoin/privacy coins) would just stop.
Surely this approach would backfire an lead to a freer and better black market of people who have now been forced to commit to the parallel economy
In fact the whole “plan” sounds like a great recipe for the people turning against the privileged elites. It even mentions how “it’ll be easier to manage because of the vaccines reducing the population”… so their plan is to kill off their compliant followers leaving them with a higher percentage of people who are (1) awake and aware (2) already hate them (3) make it easier to find friendly (4) give them a catalyst to get involved
With all that said.
I do definitely think there’s a lot of bad actors/corrupted people out there that will want to usher in a system like that so it’s worth keeping an eye on.
A little white pill: contrary to popular belief there’s a strong libertarian movement in the crypto space. I know the general consensus/concern is that digital currencies are all designed to entrap us however there’s another side that’s working to make it so that there isn’t a central control mechanism and there’s privacy and it’s free from censorship and control.
I believe it’s likely we’ll see two warring parallel economies/societies. One centralised and powered by social credit and one decentralised, peer-to-peer, focused on privacy and free from control
It’s nice to read someone articulate my thoughts almost exactly.
Too many bush Trump for being “pro” COVID vaccine and completely forget he has repeatedly always supported individual choice.
Not only that but he gave everyone that wanted a therapeutic option (rather than just tough it out) inside info on what some of the smartest minds would have been telling him.
The conspiracy crowd often overlooks the terrifying alternative universe where Hillary won…
You’d be looking down the barrel of a long drawn out pandemic crushing the economy and freedoms plus a (world) war with Russia, crushing the economy… all culminating in worldwide global government and communism.
