You're right the USD is just a note of debt to be paid for another debt (ironically your bills). The question is when is the debt of the debt due? And is there a point to debt at all if there is an overarching entity or government rather than a direct person that you physically owe? The reason I call the USD "The Stamps" is because they're constantly devalued everyone wants more and some people get them for nothing from the government. The USD has lost its luster everyone that actually wants to make more of them the right way either invests in themselves ie. business, equipment, education, etc. they invest in stocks or gold and now crypto which is the new currency of the people. Their power to bribe and convince people otherwise is now in focus and now they just want that over all of us and that is power to control us without the Stamps because their time is up.

Yeah we're starting to see that fake market cap unfold with the dips today. I've heard that Tether and other stables are what can mostly make up the total market cap of crypto. The stables can manipulate it like they did in 2017 and even now.

If he had his way then it would be hell on Earth and even then he still might not grasp what is going on around him. Although maybe he would grasp it and realize that he was scammed into becoming a neo-feudal serf in the great reset.

Certain freedoms are legislated illegal? How illogical!!! The only logic I could even see in that statement is if there absolutely was no government and total anarchy and bedlam or absolute statism as you seem to be aligned with comrade. The only comparison I can make is the freedom to smoke marijuana and how it is outlawed and now regulated by your god: "The State". Don't get me wrong we need some limited government hell that is what BTC is about limited governance total freedom of trades. The only governance with BTC is the fact that private keys secure your wallet so no one can take your crypto specie like hacking a bank or pipeline. So what you are saying is this suddenly an unelected bureaucrat that has no accountability or fealty to the people can just take away my freedoms? Yeah thats called tyranny not freedom. Take your brain out of the mainstream media cloud for a second.




It was made illegal because it was a barbaric law to create an absolute fear amongst the people to not do anything unjust or to punish people that disobey their ruler(s). People have been sacrificed for millennia and history repeats. The Mayan and Incas had ritual sacrifice. The middle east had sacrifice until the advent of Christianity and Islam. The Nazis killed millions of people during the holocaust. Soviet Russia under Lenin then Stalin killed and starved millions of people. Mao in China killed the most in modern recorded history with between 45-55 million people.

The same fear could ironically be said about NOT getting the COVID-19 vaccine as people that do not get it might not be able to freely travel to blue states or EU countries. They will not be able to conduct business in person or go to concerts in certain places without the vaccine card/passport.




uhhh I'm not crippled and this isn't Scary Movie 2... Do you mean masturbating in public?.



As I have said before if this was as bad as Ebola or bubonic plague then people in towns and cities would be absolutely quarentined. No going out no essential services for that area to absolutely stop the spread like what they do in Africa. People would be wearing Bio-Hazmat suits instead of ineffective masks. This is a designer cold virus made in biologics lab by scientists for this purpose to cause chaos amongst people. Really it only affects the old (which would have died to other viruses or causes) and those that eat fake foods devoid of nutrients and vitamins.



The masks are ineffective, wearing a Hazmat suit would be more effective by your logic. Condoms if they are cheap can break too...




How about "no" you'll have to kill me first and no I won't shut up when you're clearly losing an argument with failed logic from your mainstream media corporate overlords that seem to run your life. If you don't care about your freedom how about get into a time machine and transport yourself to 2030 where you'll have nothing, own nothing and be happy if you don't care about freedom. I'm not killing people, the lockdown is killing the third-world. People are starving there because the western nations that will soon be in depression are no longer buying goods from them and they are locked down as well. People from India are starving in the streets due to the lockdowns but the media is blaming COVID. During the height of the COVID madness here in the States, coroners that first document a person's death by gunshot would then change the death to COVID so they can collect the emergency insurance money. This whole thing is to take away our freedoms first they say its 1 month then 3 months then 1 year (seem to let things reopen) then lockdown then its 2 years 3 year, a decade... etc. They want power over you as the FED stamps no longer have sway.




Wow, harsh words for me and quite the SJW virtue signal. Is because I made you take your mind out of the hive mind cloud of the corporate media for 15 minutes?  So you want me dead on a ventilator? I'm sure the hospital admins and doctors would love to collect the $50K on my head. I wonder if they pay them in BTC since it is about that number? Anyway as Issac Newton (or maybe his work is racist or cancelled by now for making people think), once said for "Every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction" so here is my fantasies or possibilities of what the vaccine will possibly do to you:

1. Nothing (I certainly hope nothing befalls you and your internal talisman protects you)
2. Give you cancer (the most likely situation)
3. Convulsion that just kills you as your organs liquefy while they have you on a ventilator
4. Get COVID anyway... (Once again ventilator)
5. Heart attack (J&J and Astra Zeneca were ripe for blood clots...)
6. Guillain-Barre syndrome (another likely possibility as this remaps your immune system)
7. Stroke
8. Parkinson's disease
9. Skin disease or rash
10. Probably more...

So just like the other comment above they will tell you to get the J&J or Astra Zeneca (oh its only one shot). Oh that was bad? Get the Moderna or Pfizer its just 2  shots... Then they say you need a booster shot then they say you need shots for other variants, etc. etc.  Bottom line your risk for one of these 10 or more possibilities goes up with each one its sort of like gambling with your body at a certain point. Maybe I should make a bet on your what you'll get.  





I wasn't even going to say sperm or eggs are people I'm all for blowing myself like in Scary Movie 2 . But for Jeopardy sake I'll take "The fetus could be considered a person according to most Abortion clinic at a certain gestation stage" for 400.  I still sort of agree that it is a person's choice no matter what they do I can shame them tell them not to do something (You included) and they will just do it anyway because at the core we are all people that have freedom (for now) to be who we are. So are you saying the "millions" around me should dictate that I take the vaccine?




I agree with your quote except the wool has been pulled over your eyes. You don't see the real religion that you are part of with the "medical system" being a religion in and of itself if you think about it. You take pills medications, and vaccines as sacraments. You confess your problems with your body to your doctor or nurse. You get declared dead by the coroner. New doctors no longer take the Hippocratic oath btw could you trust them? The doctors/nurses in turn take your money as donations unto themselves and you feel that they are helping your body just like prayer in a church. They say prayer does help its a good placebo and many of the medicines out there are merely to treat and not cure as just like the church they keep you coming back.



A Forever, Newbie as long as they put their mind in the cloud of the corporate statist media.

Apple is now a rotting Apple without the lead of Steve Jobs (RIP) as they really don't innovate as much with the new guy Tim Cook. All they have is a surplus of cash and the fact that they make high quality electronics. Other than that nothing hype going for them. Tesla is the new Apple if you ask me. Cryptos are in a different league than Apple they're all on a 24-7 market while Apple/Tesla are stuck in the 9:30-4pm market of old. I know FTX has added a token for both stocks to be traded there 24-7. If more exchanges add stock tokens then Apple would have more relevance.

The ironic problem with DOGE just like the FED (well sort of) is that there is no limit to what can be minted as there is not a cap on the total minted like certain other coins . While the FED can keep printing or allocated towards the national debt via act from Congress and the Senate. Additionally, DOGE hasn't had any halving in rewards like other well know cryptos like BTC and ETH. So this is why DOGE most likely will crash like it always does and then come back down to the $0.10-0.30 range unless there is wider overall use that is DOGE or any crypto's boon.

I don't know I'd say hyperinflation will eat away at its status quickly but your projection seems pretty conservative.

I'm not talking about pregnancy per se but freedom of choice. So what you are saying is our COVID masters that initiated the lockdown measures, forcing you to wear masks and now trying to force people to take a vaccine have a sudden right to force us to do whatever they tell us all of a sudden? I'm saying that we are living under tyranny and people just follow along with it. If this was as severe as they made it out to be during the first three months (like the ebola virus) then society would have been completely shuttered and you would see no one at their jobs and everything closed period.

Regardless of what anyone thinks. Whatever happened to my body, my choice with the left? You know where you have the choice to abort your child or not? Well what about the vaccine? Don't you have the same choice of liberty in the matter that is not taking the vaccine if you don't want it and taking it if you feel you will be safe and secure? Why are certain talking points encouraged? While debate or the opposing side is discouraged or even censored altogether in the discourse that is the public square of the internet?

The Chinese just want the Digital Yuan to overshadow BTC as a currency or asset for trade.

Hello BTC and Crypto community,

What are your thoughts on the current World Reserve Currency?: The United States Dollar, is it here to stay as the World Reserve Currency? Or will it be displaced due to hyperinflation from overprinting and poor fiscal money practices? Do you think the USD should change its name to "FED Stamps" due to 78% of the money supply being printed within the last 18 months?

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2021-04-12/hyperinflation-alert-78-us-dollars-created-last-12-months-dollar-debasement

If you don't think the USD will be the reserve currency then what do you think will take over as the World Reserve? Will it be BTC, ETH, USDC, XRP, Digital Yuan, DOGE or if I failed to list your favorite currency then list it in the thread comments below and vote Option 8.

I agree with a lot of what you said here. I'd say that the neo-cons like Romney hurt by Trump will just become Democrats or still possibly be RINOs as usual. The Dems and the RINO Neo-Cons may as well be called "The party" (like consolidated Communist China) as politics like business seems to be consolidating to a neo-feudal power keg that will continue to divide the once free peoples  of the world. The only solution is BTC but they will try to break even that with their "Green New Deal": shutting down energy refinement (Keystone and Colonial pipelines (yeah right Russians attacked this it was the Dems... I bet they honeypoted the Russian hackers to break it like the left always does), raise taxes on coal and other energy sources and shut down infrastructure (Biden's infrastructure plan is a big bilk of FED Stamps for him and his buddies in government) "racist" highways and bridges and I'm not making this up (This came from Buttgag).

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-agenda-behind-buttigiegs-claim-that-highways-are-racist-11618847867

Dare I say this prediction might come to fruition as the FED has printed 78% of the money supply in the last 18 months. I can see Doge hitting $20K if the FED keeps printing, the dollar loses it's world reserve currency status and there is just overall hyperinflation due to people getting a free lunch for over a year not having to work due to "COVID". Otherwise, if the FED can prop itself up once again or the inflation isn't as high as many are seeing it going then DOGE might go back to less than $0.01 or within the range of $0.10-0.75 as it has traded thus far.

BlockFi has reduced their interest rates for ETH and have others said they have reduced their rates below 5%. They do take some time to withdrawal funds more so than Nexo for instance and this can be taken as "what if they get hacked or exit scam"? See the link below for more information about the security of Blockfi as I doubt they would be hacked and if so then they would have to pay out the FED stamps to you (and hopefully some crypto) worst case.

https://coincentral.com/blockfi-review/

I would consider going with Nexo as they pay a higher interest rate if you lock in your funds for one month (5%) or if you leave your funds in there for quick withdrawals at a steady 4% (they sometimes send your crypto into a slower withdrawal fee which makes it take longer). So you could keep up 15 ETH at BlockFi for a 4.5% and anything higher move to Nexo. There is Celcius (I think they are a bit shady founder gave a bunch of their CEL token to his wife they seem like BitConnect 2.0). I'm experimenting with Voyager but they have withdrawal limits of $25000 (FED Stamps) per day. What I don't like about Voyager and Celcius is you have to have a Mac or Android just to use them as their platforms are in the app stores with no native web presence.


You could use the ETH staking services if you don't trust any of these as Bitcoin_Arena pointed out. Or if you have 32 ETH just stake them yourself.

Wow a lot of good points I can agree with here. Especially, those three main ones. We're living in a Post-human world everything is being consolidated. However, I slightly agree but mostly disagree with you on "China mines all the BTC". The reason why is other people decentralized in many different countries mine BTC. What about Iceland, Russia, Europe and Brazil or other places where energy is cheap and an individual attempts to mine BTC? So if China were to pull out of mining BTC in my opinion all this would do is stymie the next block mined by the miners still involved in BTC mining. If China were to stop selling components and controlled the entire electronics market then your points would be valid but if they stopped selling components then people would look for alternative means to get what they want (make their own BTC miners). The only realistic way that China could even hold the world in financial ransom concerning BTC would be to kill the electrical power grids of the whole world except for China themselves. So long story, short there is no stopping BTC. What you are inferring here in your bottom passage is if we consider BTC an internet provider and this provider loses a major backbone center (China) and would therefore rely upon an older backup (the rest of the world) as the consequence would be a slower internet connection (slower block creation due to the loss of China as miner would be the only consequence).  

Anyway, funny question... Are you Luka Magnotta?

I've been in the crypto space two years longer than you (man I wish I would have gotten in 2010 but still did good). I want to say that you are right that the crypto media and market makers have been hyping up the fact that fewer BTC is on exchanges and is going into the hands of custody or personal wallets. I do want to make this funny point back in 2015-2016 era when the media would try to make its moves to hype or FUD the markets the crypto whales would mostly do the opposite to prove the media wrong. Now I think when you got in is when the media started to tame the market to their whims mostly. The overall point I'm trying to make is that once the bigger players jump into this market and there is a Bitcoin ETF the markets will dump shortly after with the media FUD'ing the market. What I will say in agreement though with the media and this "word on the street" is that they are right mostly that there be fewer BTC on exchanges (unless a huge dump command by those running markets or huge pump by the powers of fiat institutions (brokers, governments, etc.)) in the near future and beyond. Regardless, hodl strong and BTC will continue to transcend the fiat currencies and possibly even physical precious metals. I sort hate the fact that the media and these institutions have sort of tamed the market to their whims because it seems like BTC trades similar or parallel to the stock market. I think bigger things than an ETF are ahead for BTC and it will be added to the VIX.

I see what you are trying to say here. Bitcoin is a product like gold or stocks or any other right? Comparing buying BTC at 3K or ATH of 60K+ is like comparing buying Apple when the fell in the 90s (before the iPod) and buying Tesla at its ATH. They are both investments that can rise and have the potential to fall. The investment that seems to always fall is the dollar due to printing of the currency. Did you know 25% of all USD money was printed during pandemic? What do you think that will do? Cause the dollar to lose value due to inflation. Yes holding dollars is an investment but a bad one at that as you expected to spend the money on either something that will go up in value (houses, stocks, crypto, etc), provide a business or means of income/product (equipment, services, etc), or something that provides happiness like a gold chain or new car or something that sates your consumption as a human being (food, shelter, water, other bills). Really all the dollar is to me is the latter its a glorified government stamp or subsidy that only devalues over time. Bitcoin can be in the physical just like a house as there are the Ledger series wallet or simply the wallet.dat on a usb stick as examples.

I'd say you are both right. Bitcoin is both a medium of exchange and investment. This is why BTC is called "Digital Gold". Initially BTC was conceived as mainly a means of semi-anonymous exchange between two or more people. However, the deflationary rate it was built upon made it into more of an investment as time went on. So presently, I would say BTC leans more towards investment than means of exchange just like gold. Sure if someone is willing to accept gold as payment for a product/service then you can use it as a medium of exchange but most likely you would lose out on the future gains against the USD which makes people want to keep gold as an investment. 

It depends on what you feel is right. If I were you I'd sell half if you think ADA will possibly continue to dominate but it might have peaked already. Or you can keep a quarter if you want to really diversify.

How much is enough money? For a person living in the United States under this COVID crisis that is an interesting question. Why because of the inflation of the FED stamps printed by the FED which means 1 million dollars might be in the form of a dollar bill rather than a lengthy bank transfer (or crypto-stable transfer  ) soon enough (or it will come in the form of a CBDC). In a way I sort of hope the USD stays the standard of global trade but we in the states are spoiled and it will soon all the printing and poor monetary policies will come back to bite the US. If were to stablize as I see it now. I would sell half my crypto for 4 Million dollars (keeping the other 4 million in crypto to accrue interest or gains in the markets) if the Zombie in Chief (or Mrs. Fake) doesn't take most of it in taxes. I'd hodl the rest in crypto just in case the USD goes the way of Venezuela, Zimbabwe or the Weimar Republic of Germany (circa-post WWI).
