So we don't want an anti-money (whom can free-for-all coinbase nilly-willy debase faster race into the abyss) shitcoin that is designed to perniciously, self-destruct into a mutual chaos. Instead you want a money that is designed to primarily to be the best unit-of-exchange and which has extensive ability to resist totalitarianism. Money must debase and the best way is when it debases the most for those who do not transact so as to encourage the greatest unit-of-exchange. The power-law distribution of wealth is a pump that must be constantly reprimed, i.e. the concentrated wealth must be pumped back out to the masses to spend it again so it can return to those who concentrate wealth via their greater skill, fortitude, effort, etc..
EDIT: Back on topic, I will have to think about TPTB's ideas on a new currency, one that depreciates if you hold it. That just goes so against my natural instincts. If a currency depreciates so, then that implies you have to BUY some, then spend it quickly. You would lose if you just hang on to it. The US$ at least can be held for a week or a month, and you still get (approximately, and at least for now) the same amount of goods.
Monetary Education 1011. The Quantity Theory of Money roughly posits that the GDP (price × quantity) is roughly proportional to the money supply (M) times the velocity of money (V). Any increase in GDP due to increase in M (such as fractional reserve debt), is illusory non-growth in the form monetary inflation. Any increase in GDP due to increase in V that is not a derivative effect of monetary inflation, is real growth. Real growth translates to an appreciation of buying power, thus protecting store-of-value. Thus we can conclude that friction on unit-of-exchange is undesirable. 2. A reasonably stable store-of-value is a requirement of an efficient unit-of-exchange. A currency that depreciates noticeably in a week or month is countervailing to unit-of-exchange. Per #1 in a correctly functioning monetary system, purchasing power will always be rising (as measured averaged through natural fluctuations on the free market business cycle, assuming the guber-mint is not mucking it up making it worse) despite some annual debasement perhaps in the range of a few percent. In addition the general rise in purchasing power because everyone's investments are outperforming the debasement rate, your investments should be too thus you get squared effect which far dominates the debasement (rise_in_purchasing_power × rise_in_investments ÷ debasement rate). This squared mathematical effect is why decentralized monetary systems kick exponential a$$ on the centralized ones rife with guber-mint backstopped usury, socialism, etc. We'd already be in the golden Knowledge Age if not for the bastards holding us back. 3. Due to that squared law explained in #2 and coupled with the fact that small things and investments grow faster, the upcoming wealthy gain more from debasement than the egregiously wealthy. Thus debasement is a very natural, efficient allocator of wealth to the maximum production. The super wealthy can't focus their investments to the most productive because their wealth is too large to allocate efficiently. They are more concerned about safety, economies-of-scale, and return of capital, which retards production in the economy. 4. Due to the power-law nature of wealth aggregation (hey some people are just more motivated, skilled, driven, disciplined than the masses), if you don't pump money from the wealth aggregators back out to sea with the masses, then the entire economy stops and falls into a Dark Age. Then everyone suffers, including the wealthy (first the millionaires, but later the trillionaires also destroy themselves but they don't care because they are psychopaths who crave power and destruction <heck 1/100th of a $trillion is still $10 billion anyway>, they even masturbate to videos of the rape, pillage, and beheadings of entire African villages). If it isn't done decentralized, then centralized institutional structures rise up to do it, because the economy will die without redistribution of wealth from the power-law back to the sea of masses. 5. You buy gold yet it has only been going down in exchange value. You can't expect any asset to have only a rising value, for this would mean that asset has special unnatural status enshrined by some power who can make it so. In short, you'd be wishing for a NWO world. The desire for creditors (holders of an asset) to be always insured is what is driving the NWO. Watch this video: P.S. If you are thinking about an altcoin launch and its store-of-value function, any miniscule debasement rate is going to pale against the ingress and egress of speculators.

Assume this is correct--i do. The question becomes, "Where are the fringes? Where is the new growth happening from below? How can I gauge these reteritorializations? From my vantage point, there is no dearth of innovation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9812245https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Who%20is%20hiring&sort=byPopularity&prefix=false&page=0&dateRange=all&type=storyThe problem is the bastards have much of this innovation in check, due to the triumvirate (the real Troika) protocols of money, governance, and non-anonymous master-servant (a.k.a. client-server) internet. It is my strong belief that if we provide the correct decentralized, anonymous protocols for those three, the spark will turn into a fledgling tidal wave hidden under the surface at sea heading towards beach fronts. The block chain is a central component, but (afaik) everyone has been doing it (slightly but thus catastrophically) wrong. I would say that governments that keep going to corporations to solve problems: prisons, hospitals, education, ect, are sidestepping and allowing the more efficient link from corporation to consumer (how parasitic is this link would need some benchmark analysis to answer less philosophically, more analytically). How long does this transference last? Can the state survive? Was the idea of a physical border (the physical state) keeping us safe(r) demolished on 9/11?
The State as a parasite can only survive in the NWO, one-world system which is a 666 red blood sucking eugenics. In my mind, the key essence point to make is that the existing system can not transition seamlessly (gradually or smoothly) to a new decentralized Knowledge Age system, because the State system is inherently centralized. Centralized systems can't slowly become decentralized. They are eaten from below until they collapse and that collapse can be very messy (deadly).

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
A heterarchical currency enables every individual holder of the currency to draw against the balance of every other holder of it. In the case of the G.E. coin, an individual holder's inflation of the monetary base (effectively) draws capital from other holders in accordance with the magnitude of their GEC holdings, mitigating each holder's personal losses while, simultaneously, maximizing their provision. (Furthermore, it incentives one to minimize [perhaps, through destruction] its currency holdings.) Let me see if I can bring this thread back on topic. The above quote was an OT post to an OT discussion in the Economic Totalitarianism thread. I wish we attempt to discuss monetary theory in an appropriate thread, so readers can follow threads. The entire point of my (AnonyMint's) seminal essay linked from the opening post of this thread, is that production in the Industrial Age and prior epochs required great economies-of-scale in fixed capital, e.g. factories, mechanized farming, Egyptian slaves for pyramid building, etc.. Production in the Knowledge Age is the creation of new knowledge (not just the consumption of existing, although learning is a form of knowledge creation), e.g. software, 3D printing/CNC mill design patterns, marketing, writing, etc.. This notion (genre) of production can not be financed with interest bearing capital (read my seminal article!), and the capital resides with the individual and not with economies-of-scale (e.g. The Mythical Man Month). Thus the generative essence of the problem has been not money nor free market capitalism itself, but the power that the technological state of mankind imparted to money. The Knowledge Age is solving this problem. Money will return to its roots (as an improvement over non-fungible barter) of being a unit-of-exchange, and less of a store-of-value. This is the why Industrial Age and socialism are going totalitarian into a NWO, one-world reserve and governance outcome (go big or die is their necessary mantra). Because the paradigm is dying. So we don't want an anti-money (whom can free-for-all coinbase nilly-willy debase faster race into the abyss) shitcoin that is designed to perniciously, self-destruct into a mutual chaos. Instead you want a money that is designed to primarily to be the best unit-of-exchange and which has extensive ability to resist totalitarianism. Money must debase and the best way is when it debases the most for those who do not transact so as to encourage the greatest unit-of-exchange. The power-law distribution of wealth is a pump that must be constantly reprimed, i.e. the concentrated wealth must be pumped back out to the masses to spend it again so it can return to those who concentrate wealth via their greater skill, fortitude, effort, etc.. Stay tuned...that money (with extensive mathematical innovations over any existing altcoin and potentially a Bitcoin killer) is coming soon to a cinema near you...

Sweet potato and bananas are high in potassium (remember I am in a tropic country): http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2667/2http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/1846/2Past weeks eating nearly the diet the native tribe filipinos ate before the introduction of modern life (which some still do, but most of them apparently don't like it any more). It is reasonably easy to accomplish here in the Philippines, because for example I can easily buy uncleaned, freshly caught, wild fish; ditto native chicken that feasted on bugs instead of corn. Haven't tried the barbecued rats yet though. I don't miss the carbs at all. Absolutely no cravings. I grew up in Louisana on creole food, so sweet potatos are like "coming home" or my (1/16th Cherokee) grandma's kitchen. I miss the Old South-- the one before commercialization. The one with the old buildings, wooden shacks, old railroad facilities, and prevalence of simple life (poverty). However, I don't miss the extreme poverty and squalor.

I took the thread OT on health but hope it won't veer too far on that topic. I guess because this was the most read thread that was identified with me (AnonyMint), perhaps also considering CoinCube (thread originator) is a medical (research?) doctor and applied mathematician. Also because the Knowledge Age solution to the Economic Devastation theme is about decentralized knowledge cultivation, of which health is a principle candidate. Also I guess because some know I am potentially playing a notable (significant?) development role in cryptocurrency behind the curtain, so my suffering from M.S. had been a major drag on my productivity thereof. Also this thread had sort of died lately, as my antagonist (or collaborator) CoinCube is very preoccupied on maximizing his income to pay off egregious student loans before the late 2017 collapse hits.
I agree on the ketonic and high fat and high protein. I am pretty much not eating carbs at all now. Only sweet potato (which is not a potato) in very small morsels. Mostly very high fat meats, e.g. pork, chicken, salmon, and mackerel. Wild (not corn and soy fed) when I can get it. And uncooked green leafy vegetables with every meal. Sometimes boiled cabbage with chicken (drink the broth too).
I've been taking a "B Healthy" brand whole food, co-enzymated[1] B complex (also Milk Thistle) with every meal past several days and if you've noticed I haven't been posting on the forum, because this has enabled me to code, code, code. This seemed to drive some significant changes w.r.t. to my head and gut (and sensations even in the pelvic area). Still experimenting...
No caffeine and no fluids other than distilled water.
Thanks for the ideas.

Take fermented turmeric.
That is an idea. I did add Turmeric to my fermented salsa sometimes, but don't like the taste that much. I have also some Turmeric extract capsules on order.

Lying won't help you. I was reading Armstrong's blog daily as of August 2012 when (it was roughly 12,000) he clearly stated that either it would double before October 2015, or it would phase shift and align with private assets and then delay that double or triple until 2017. Indeed the USA stock market did rise to roughly 18,000 and then it phase shifted and so now we await the double or triple in 2017. Funny. He really predicted a lot of funny things: Prediction April 2013: Slovenia will collapse from a spending spree, not because it invested in Euro bonds. (...) It is true that Slovenia is not Cyprus. It is worse.http://www.armstrongeconomics.com/archives/10720Reality 2014: He did not state of date for the collapse. Slovenia's economy shrunk considerably in 2013 and since then is having a real estate rebound as foreigners park capital there which is temporarily driving up their GDP and watch what happens after October. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/15/realestate/real-estate-in-slovenia.html?_r=0When the foreign buyers are gone, then watch for his prediction to come true. Also you need to differentiate between speculation and actual predictions. He was clearly speculating by the "?" in the title of the blog post. And no where did he show a computer model. This was his personal speculation and expressing his angst about EU dictatorship. When I relate to Armstrong's predictions, it is those that are made by the computer model and reiterated over numerous blog posts, not some quip in one blog post you dredged up to try to prove you are a jealous nutcase. Also Armstrong may just have a myopia on Slovenia, which wouldn't the first time that his personal speculations suck. I trust more his computer model and his interpretations of it. Slovenians are smart people. The could the exact opposite of the British. You don't see much binge drinking in Ljubljana, and when the Brits are big spenders, the Slovenians are big savers. They're the people who make you believe in Europe. If there ware only Germans, Slovenians, Estonians and people like that in the EU, it would rule the world. Unfortunately, people like the Greeks or the French are wrecking it.

Anyway, do you have any general advice? Buy gold/silver? Ammo? Food?
You don't need to stock food and ammo until 2017, unless you think your access to them will hampered by then. As of October 2015, we are exiting the eye of the storm from 2008, but we won't be into the worst of it until 2018, because the USA will remain strong into 2017 because of the capital stampeding out of the rest of the world flowing back (from the QE that flooded the world) into the USA as safe haven which will blow bubbles in the USA stock market and dollar. I will delete this post. This is perhaps my last FYI to try to help the fools here. Get out of what? Equities? Money in savings? Should we go all in on crypto and PM? Not trolling. Serious Qs Go dollar cash now. After Oct go dollar, PMs, crypto, and US stock market. On the blowoff peak in 2017, sell dollar, stocks, PMs, and go exclusively crypto. Dollar and stocks will peak in 2017 and into the abyss after. Gold will be heavy taxed (expropriated when you sell it by various means) and there will not be black markets (after 2017), because cash will be phased out (the banks will retire all cash and none will be printed). Anonymous crypto will be your only chance to escape expropriation after 2017. I had already explained why real estate will be destroyed as an investment. Lying won't help you. I was reading Armstrong's blog daily as of August 2012 when (it was roughly 12,000) he clearly stated that either it would double before October 2015, or it would phase shift and align with private assets and then delay that double or triple until 2017.

No one can escape a fate that it's been destined for the others... That alone should trigger a self preservation mechanism that will eventually overcome the destruction issues. Of course, there's always the chance that TPTB have already studied this scenario and they've prepared a plan B. And I don't rule out that B stands for Bitcoin...
No, collectivized systems can't escape the Petri dish until they starve themselves to death. See below... (there is no positive feedback loop) PS: I know the guy, he's for real. What is poignant is even though he knows a GrExit is the only way they have any power over the situation, he says his elected mandate from the people was to negotiate for a compromise and debt relief. And he said only 2 of the 8 wanted a GrExit after the referendum mandate from the people not to accept the prior bailout package, and that he believes in the democratic process and collectivized responsibility so he accepted the will of the 6 of 8. That is direct proof that I was correct when I wrote the following in 2010 (which was widely published by the way, just google "Understand Everything Fundamentally"). I am looking forward to Armstrong's comments re Greece tomorrow and the near-future.
I think I understand this better than Armstrong does. Perhaps the Troika will use the big stick of capital controls to induce the Greeks to vote for the Troika's bailout terms which contains a few carrots with more austerity. The referendum is some sham to convince the Europeans they are not under a dictatorship, as was the case for Scotland. Remember my prediction in 2010 in the "Understanding Everything Fundamentally" essay. http://www.coolpage.com/commentary/economic/shelby/Understand%20Everything%20Fundamentally.html#europe"Coase’s theorem says that an inefficient internal order will continue for as long as there remains an unavoidable frictional barrier insulating it from the more efficient external possibilities. The fundamental reason the EU crisis will not result in a disintegration of the union, at least not until its people significantly abandon collectivism, is that organisms which are unable to comprehend the mechanism by which they are consuming resources faster than their ecosystem can replenish, thus are unable to stop the mechanism before they perish. So the implosion of the friction and thus the order only occurs when they perish, because they will continue to repeat the mechanism which they do not understand to be a cause of their suffering. This can be verified in a petri dish, as an organism will reproduce until it consumes all of its food or oxygen."
This is relevant also: ...
P.S. This myopia is also related to why Armstrong's proposed solutions for Greece and the sovereign debt crisis in general are untenable at best, and even if they could be implemented they would be a horrible result for mainstreet over the long-term, because all his proposals involve the centralization of power. I have explained why in prior posts about them. For example, the only way Greece could survive a GrExit would be with the access to international markets, but the axis powers are complicit. As for the debt for equity swap Armstrong proposes (sovereign debt exchanged for corporate shares), I explained in the past that this requires that investors have a fungible valuation of disparate companies. The only way that proposal is workable is if it is basically transferring a basket of all public companies to a single entity that holds all the debt, i.e. the TPTB. It is just same FDR gold swindle in disguise all over again. I really think Armstrong works for TPTB. He is advocating a one-world currency reserve and world domination by TPTB. That is coming and inevitable, and our escape is the Knowledge Age and our own decentralized, scalable, anonymous cryptocurrency.

Kingdom of South America? In the bible? Daniel 7:24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. Revelation 17:12 The 10 horns you saw are 10 kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. http://www.markswatson.com/tenkingsFrame2Source1.htmOne thing that is spoken of prophetically is that the Earth will be divided into ten kingdoms. These Kings, who rule over these kingdoms will then sell out their own sovereignty to a one world system
"And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no power as yet but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast." (Rev. 17:12-13)
A system of Government will be established, according to the Bible, which will ascend out of the bottomless pit (Rev 17:8 ) and make war with the saints and to overcome them (Rev 13:7). The Beast will cause every man on Earth to be numbered in order to buy and sell (Rev 13 :16-17). The Beast will be a wonder to see and watch (Rev 13:3). The entire world will worship the Dragon (Satan) who gives power to the Beast (Rev 13:4 and Rev 20:2). The System is being rapidly set up before our eyes and is using its economic, political and spiritual power to bring it to pass. The Dragon gives this system its power and authority (Rev 13:2). Because the Dragon is such a deceiver, we should expect the system to be brought into being with great subtlety and deceit. We have not been able to fully ascertain what the Dragon has been doing because we have been distracted. This Beast will be most formidable. It will literally tread the Earth down with its power and make life hell for the saints.
But there is another Beast.
This beast is one that many seem to underestimate, but which is just as dangerous as the first. The first Beast Had 10 Horns, which represents 10 kings. This second Beast has two horns. The scriptures make a very interesting and important observation about this second beast.
"And He exerciseth all the Power of the first Beast before him and causeth all the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed." (Rev 13: 11).
The phase 'before him' can also be rendered 'in his presence'. This is a very powerful entity. I believe we should attempt to make at least some sort of identification of this beast as it plays a key role in the end time system.
Identifying the role and purpose of this beast should not be too difficult as his activities are described for us in John's Revelation. First, other that the fact that he has all the authority of the ten horned World Government, he also seems to have a very important role to play in finalizing the spiritual power to the First Beast. IT is the False Prophet who will cause all those who dwell on the Earth to worship the first beast. He will be able to deceive those who dwell on the Earth by the Miracles he is able to perform:
Revelation 13
11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. And it had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.
12 And it exercises all the authority of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and those dwelling in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And it does great wonders, so that it makes fire come down from the heaven onto the earth in the sight of men.
14 And it deceives those dwelling on the earth, because of the miracles which were given to it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the wound by a sword and lived.
15 And there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might both speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 And it causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark on their right hand, or in their foreheads,
17 even that not any might buy or sell except those having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of its name.
18 Here is the wisdom. Let him having reason count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
This Beast is either a religious system or a political system with strong spiritual underpinnings. There have been a few biblical prophecy teachers who have attempted to identify this system. This system (Beast) will have the power to perform miracles and be able to deceive many with the miracles he performs. The type of power he wields is shown by one of the miracles he performs in the sight of men. This is a miracle that Elijah performed in the book of 1st Kings (18:30-38) and in the book of 2nd Kings (Chapter 1). This is a very deceptive miracle because it has been prophesied that the LORD would send Elijah before the great and terrible Day of the LORD (Mal 4:5). This could cause many, especially in Israel to believe the miracles of the False Prophet. This will indeed be a mighty deception, especially if this false prophet then declares the antichrist to be god on earth. Identifying the false Prophet is imperative to understand the last days. The first beast will be wounded by the Knowledge Age and anonymity. It will fight back by being able to tap directly into the thoughts of every human. I believe the number of man is flesh and blood, i.e. 666 is the approximate center wavelength of red blood. The second beast will probably control the grant of life. Thus it will be worshiped by all those who idolize life more than righteousness.

But it doesn't distract too many brain cells to comment on Armstrong's continued myopia on the manipulation the axis powers are doing by pretending to be antagonists. I wish someone would email this rebuttal to Armstrong and demand he justify his nonsense. I got tired of emailing him. http://www.armstrongeconomics.com/archives/34968IMF Says Greek Debt Should be Foregiven
Even the IMF has come out now and warned that Greece may need a complete debt write-off. That is sending an economic earthquake through Europe for it undermines the political position of Merkel entirely. There is no doubt about this, Greece cannot pay and cannot raise taxes yet simultaneously still have any viable economy. This is the collapse of Socialism.
So why has the IMF turned around? If Greek’s debt is not written off, the harsh economic conditions being imposed will merely send Greece into the waiting arms of Russia. This is now becoming political with the IMF agreeing with the Obama position. What you need to understand is that the grand plan (further behind the curtain than Armstrong has access) has been ever since the Euro was created, is that the irreparable debts would be consolidated onto the entire EU balance sheet. The plan all along was a new world order government and financial system, with the 10 Kings regions from the Bible (European Union, Asian Union, North American Union, South American Union, etc) as the next step towards that goal. So this above with the IMF, Russia, Merkel is just more of the usual Hegelian dialectic (a.k.a. good car salesman, bad car salesman) ploy wherein there appears to be antagonists, but in reality they are all just pretending and squeezing the masses in between a rock and a hard place so the ultimate result is towards the shared goal of TPTB in all regions and nations. So the IMF will pretend to be the good guys, so Germany will be forced to accept unifying the debts of Europe in order to prevent Greece from falling to the bad guys Russia. Sheesh, Armstrong is as gullible as a 5 year old sometimes.

Apologies I am too distracted to comment further on the modeling math and physics. I am interested but need to concentrate else where for the moment. But it doesn't distract too many brain cells to comment on Armstrong's continued myopia on the manipulation the axis powers are doing by pretending to be antagonists.
