    Gee, you don't think the CME Group wants you to sell your gold back into circulation because the CME Group can't cover the 1000 to 1 paper gold claims outstanding, do ya? Naaaa, I'm sure the bankers will tell us the truth. Pay no attention to the fact that trillions of overseas dollars are coming back. Bitcoins are good as gold!

    I edited to remove that rant portion since twas a bit off topic. Mordan's post advocating selling phys to buy bitcoin in the other thread pissed me off.

    However, I live in this country governed by this government so whether some other countries use it at the moment is irrelevant unless relocating solely to use bitcoin. You do realize by now that all central banks are Rothschild banks and those banks control the national legislatures, yes? The bankers have the entire thing locked down.

    What is wrong with jumping from one to another and back again? When BTC gets to a price I want, I'll buy more metals.

    A bird in hand is better than two in the bush. Also, it's treating physical metals as just another Wall St casino game.

    It's also called "trading". Some people are good at it. If it's not for you then it's not for you.

    "Diversify your bonds, nigga." Or YOLO in any direction you wish. It's called the free market.

    Sure, stamp the public and private key on any type of ring and you'd have wearable bitcoin.

    man.. you are out of your depth. Who wants gold? Indian women and Gold bugs. I am a libertarian and I don't want gold anymore. It is not practical. You get scammed. Tungsten. It is not precise. You cannot use it online. It is so 20th century.

    Ron Paul wanted competing currencies. Now that you have it, you complain that the best money drives out the less good money.

    What gets me is the market cap comparisons. It's a real eye opener...

    Bitcoin market cap = $120 Billion
    Gold market cap = $7 Trillion

    Which would you buy? Bitcoin has so much more room for up.

    Gold already made its run. It's boring, not exciting, and manipulated to high hell with naked paper shorting.
    Metal dealers on commission are constantly saying stupid $#@! like "$5K Silver!" and "$50K Gold!" Aren't people bored with being lied to yet?

    The problem with gold is simple. All my younger cousins today couldn't care less about buying gold!! they are buying crypto! They love it. All those alt coins, all those easy peasy 1000% by speculating on icos and new coins, while keeping a healthy % of Bitcoin as safe heaven.

    It so BLOODY easy with a damn smartphone. You can't do that with REAL gold. Gold is taxed, stolen, confiscated. I have some phys gold as a relic but it's just worthless to me. Just some sentimental value. Sold nearly all of it. I made so much %%%% on Bitcoin and it is going to continue in the coming years.

    Old guys who don't jump on the tech will be left behind forever. My grand parents are going to die. My parents are has beens. they don't want to make the effort. IMO crypto currencies/tokens are the futures. Gold is indeed a dinosaur.

    PS: i will die too one day but crypto will be ubiquitous

    Lol, something tells me he is going to own a lot more things that actually exist in a few years than you will, except on the off-chance bitcoin fails, but ok..

    I mean, either bitcoin is going to flourish or it is going to die, or it flails.

    If the bankers do make the decision to make it the currency of the world, a significant amount of wealth could be accumulated by libertarians by riding the wave..

    But I don't think bitcoin, specifically, is what the bankers want, I think they are taking it as it comes and trying to deal with it. It is a weapon against them, that they want to take over because they know they probably can't fight it.

    Like I said in the other thread, the dreams of fabulous wealth abound and are the reason for the cult-like defenses of the bitcoin. I'm sure the bankers will allow Mordan to cash out $1 million into an account for a single bitcoin so he can buy a mansion and a yacht. For his sake I hope that's the case but is highly unlikely. Btw, you may be right because the early adopters of a ponzi always end up being the ones that steal the currency of the later adopters, assuming they get out before the ponzi is shut down or collapses. The pumping of bitcoin going on screams ponzi. Mordan may well have a lot more dollars than me in a few years. He would be no better than the bankers though since a ponzi is a ponzi. He'd find that he'd have become what he hated. He wouldn't be wealthy because he owned a lot of bitcoins. He'd be wealthy because he stole a lot of dollars from others.

    I don't dispute that blockchain is the next wave of imaginary currency and the framework of the future complete economic mind control of the slave class. That much has been confirmed by globalist meeting whitepapers already. What I dispute is the notion that Bitcoin will be the avenue that it takes and that average people like Mordan will find himself fabulously wealthy. CNBC pumps Bitcoin ffs! CNBC pumps nothing but bubbles, ponzis and Big Brother all day long.

    Besides, once the bankers wheel all of their gold and silver out into the street for anyone to take, I'll consider gold and silver then to be passe'. I won't bother to share what I think actually will happen since y'all clearly have it all figured out and I'm merely an economic dullard.

    But I don't think bitcoin, specifically, is what the bankers want, I think they are taking it as it comes and trying to deal with it. It is a weapon against them, that they want to take over because they know they probably can't fight it
    No, it's not what they want and as long as they still run the show, it won't be. It is, however, a great avenue to get the slaves on board with blockchain control, through the dream of fabulous wealth, which is what keeps the slave class laboring their days away. But you've read all of their whitepapers and books on it so I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, right?

    Ooooh I get it now. The bankers just took over bitcoin with their new bitcoin futures market.

    Banker plan: print dollars, buy up as many bitcoins as possible (explains parabolic move and jawboning from Dimon, et al), issue futures contracts in dollars, manipulate bitcoin market up and down with bitcoins bought with printed money, fleece dollars from the heavy side at contract expiration.

    They wouldn't do this if bitcoin is only going UP UP AND AWAY. There would only be bets to the UP side. Bitcoin is going to start being officially manipulated by the bankers as soon as the contracts start trading.

    I think you're confusing the globalist agenda with the specific technology(ies) the globalists plan to use to implement that agenda. The Internet itself is the single most powerful "mind-control" mechanism ever invented. But it wasn't invented for mind-control anymore than the TV or radio were. Rather, it is being turned to that use, and it is far more effective than any previous technology for that purpose. The banksters want a single, global "virtual" money. Of course, this virtual money will be transmitted electronically but what really matters is that they control the ledger, so that they can reassign assets from the outcasts to their favorites, at their whim. Bitcoin itself will never be useful for this purpose because no one can reassign assets on the Bitcoin ledger unless they either (a) break cryptography (the same cryptography used by banks, governments and militaries) or (b) overpower the network's "mining hash rate", which is possible but extremely expensive (by extremely, I mean the price-tag is in the tens of billions).

    Man you don't see it. do you? I will spend most of my Bitcoins when Bitcoin is accepted universally. There is no ponzi bro. So sad to see Libertarians blinded by purism.

    Tell me. Just answer me this: in a few years I buy a house in Bitcoin. I sign a contract with the owner for say 10 BTC. The contract specifies the bitcoin destination adress. I do the transaction. I stamp the transaction ID on the contract and an obsolete notary gets shafted. The state can just record our contract.
    The seller of the house keeps his 10 BTC and use it to buy a boat with BTC. Same process. Fiat is gone.

    WHERE THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU SEE PONZI SCHEME IN THAT?

  24. #21
    There are better examples ponzi schemes. Fiat is the ponzi, the stock market is the ponzi, banks are a ponzi.

    So if I stamp two rings with the same keys, I'll have twice as much?
