We present this incomplete memo, found in said notebook, without comment as it speaks for itself. http://peculium.net/2013/03/26/fedcoin-a-centrally-issued-alternative-to-peer-to-peer-currencies/ Title: Re: Fedcoin: A centrally-issued alternative to peer-to-peer currencies Post by: myrkul on March 26, 2013, 02:49:11 AM Quote A member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors left his notebook at a local gentlemen’s club.

It's worthless, then?Title: Re: Fedcoin: A centrally-issued alternative to peer-to-peer currencies Post by: Severian on March 26, 2013, 02:51:08 AM Quote Fedcoin is backed by the credit and good faith of the Federal Reserve and the government of the United States of America… That tipped me off to the satire.

I asked the woman what she thought the future of cash might be, and she asked me if I heard of Bitcoin. I then showed her my Blockchain and she was turned on.

JPMorgan, Bank Of America, etc. run a modified version of Super Mario Brothers in which Mario’s character is computer controlled. [...] Every time a Mario gets a coin, $100 million dollars in Treasury bills are created and $100 million goes into the account of Mario1, Mario2, or whatever bank’s Mario got a coin."
But what if Mario isn't good enough and can't get enough coins for what gov wants to spend? ???

And here I was thinking about a tat instead.Title: Re: Fedcoin: A centrally-issued alternative to peer-to-peer currencies Post by: capensis on March 19, 2018, 02:16:40 AM So USA FedCoin is now a reality and will be implemented in the not too distant future and it will be set up across the board in banks/financial institutions etc .Bit of a worry if you live in USA ? It is gold backed. Do not know the origin of the blockchain.
So will this be the beginning of the death of money/ fiat currency ? Time will tell. |
