What is happening is the productive people are breaking free from the unproductive. This is why we need a world reserve currency that no country can abuse.

The elite are doing creative destruction on the nation-state central  banks and currencies. But the productive sector will refuse to become socialists. My X gen is giving the middle finger to that.

Socialism is failing. Those with that ideology will fail. It is not an ideology held by everyone not like in Weimar Germany when everyone was tears and in love with the almighty Socalists and then Hitler. Those who disagreed, were unable to mount any defense nor defection.

I suggest you review this post about Texans and Texas:

trollercoaster had a similar post about rural Australians.

The Internet makes it possible for us to communicate to each other. Ideological, propaganda shit can't be hoisted on us who are awake. Trump is proving many people are awake. They read blogs.

That is another choice to look into. That was the one some foreigner recommended to me a couple of years ago. Thanks for confirming you liked it and not so long ago.

Yeah I think Hong Kong is the easiest for me of my options for upgrading my environment later this year. I would return to the USA (and I might still do that), but then I can't bring my gf. I think it is unfair, she stuck with me when I was sick and I think she deserves to see something outside the Philippines. (it isn't like I can't find another female companion or date, for the trolls who will want to quote this)

I thought about Australia, given I know at least 3 guys there (2 from this forum and one old time friend from Philippines). I hear Australia is very expensive. And I don't think they will give her a visa, although I might consider Australia after Hong Kong (since might be more easy by that time to prove I am doing a real software startup and she is an employee).

Perhaps back to the USA in 2017 after Hong Kong. Probably can work out the visa for her by then, assuming my work plans succeed. And best for building a software company will be the USA.

Except there is a smarter white guy who is going to use SOFTWARE turn their ASICs HARDWARE in doorstops.

Relish the fact that you once (as in one post) schooled him (me) when he first arrived in 2013 in this forum as AnonyMint.

Exactly what happened the last time 3 months before the halving then crashed -40%. You can be sure I will be selling my remaining 4 BTC into this rise.

Incorrect. It rarely ends that way. Only for entirely broken regimes. Sorry Armstrong has all the data. He invested $1 billion collecting it.


Read Armstrong and then you will know. You have a lot of reading ahead of you.

Edit: let me give you a quick, incomplete hint. Read Armstrong for the many details and points. The failed regimes were due to dictatorship and/or a bankrupt ideology (e.g. communism in the Weimar Republic).  When the population remains very productive and the debt is actually quite small (e.g. the debt is only $19 trillion in the USA but the productive capacity of the people is that much or more per year), then the society is not failed. We are going to see transition to a world reserve currency. This is not about total failure of government, except Europe is trying hard to achieve that again. China, Russia, USA, Canada, Australia, etc are no where near failed societies.

It may be true, but it is still not trustless decentralization.

Power corrupts absolutely and it will be no different an outcome if the power of mining is vested in too few people's hands.

I am just curious, roughly how much profit do you earn per day per 7950 GPU, after subtracting electricity?

Don't account for hardware amortization, just electricity cost.

That is a very oversimplistic understanding. And I don't have time to unravel your simpleton thoughts for you at this time.

I suggest reading Armstrong's blog from start to finish.

Maybe we could do this on video sometimes interactively so it would be more efficient to educate. I don't have time for writing it. Far too slow.

Edit: you are entirely wrong on hyperinflation. The history is that only revolutionary and totally broken regimes hyperinflate. The world is composed of very strong regimes and they will not lay down their power by hyperinflating. Armstrong covers this in great detail in his blogs. Required reading material for you.

Chop off Houston and give it to Lousiana (or just make it inhospitable and they will migrate over to Louisiana), then Texas is ready to be its own country. And Texans view themselves more as Texans than they do as Americans. Have you been there? I lived there from 2001 - 2003.

They love their guns, God, and large pickup trucks.

The food stamps correlate with inner city mess and frankly with African Americans in the South (and the "cheap white trash" that has joined with them) whose work ethic was destroyed by the welfare system. Before welfare, the negros were hard working. After, they sat around the porch, got drunk, and the females produced entire absentee father(less) families (with numerous fathers per female).

This is not racist. This is a fact.

I was born in New Orleans and I attended those inner city public schools. I know first hand the situation. I've driven through Houston several times. Don't get me wrong, the majority of African Americans have elevated themselves with college education, etc.., and they will be welcome to migrate to the New Republic of Texas. I was so pleasantly shocked when I was at the UNO library in 1991 to see so many studious African American students.

So I see mass migration where conservatives move to majority conservative States that crack down and defect. And liberals migrating to the liberal States.

Yeah disintegration of the USA into regions.

Humans want self-determination. It is viewed as a fundamental right.

I disagree and I know how to do it.

Which is why CCs are correlated to the coming V crash slingshot of gold and stocks.


Armstrong is much more sure than he is going to admit on his blogs. Do you own a copy of his gold report? The main open question is the timing. May/June, August or Q1 2017.

I'd guess it is in the realm of 80/20% odds that gold will decline to lower than $1050.


Everything they've done correlated to his timing models, so they haven't extended anything that wasn't predicted.

You seem to not understand they are now trapped. Low interest rates causes a collapse due to bankrupt retirement plans. Higher interest rates collapses the governments due to increase in interest payments on the debt which will explode the fiscal budgets and cause governments to raise taxes egregiously.

It is all coming unravelled and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.

If they print more money, they lower interest rates. There is no way to raise money other than print it or tax for it.

Checkmate.

You are confusing marketing with promotional hype (lies actually) to speculators. Marketing is a not just promotion, it is a much broader discipline+art. Dash has 0 mainstream users. Evan is a marketing dunce (and a fraudster). To see real product and ecosystem marketing, watch what I do over the next year with JAMBOX.

Yeah Evan is a good snake oil salesmen. They were a dime a dozen in the USA of the 1800s. That is nothing close to the skill of Software Product Marketing.

I don't want to argue that here. Bring it over the Altcoin Discussion forum where there is plenty of argumentation on all those details.

The main reason for wanting to get out of the Philippines, is the tropical sweltering climate makes it really difficult to work in the daytime in fresh air without airconditioning. Even with ceiling and floor standing fans, I am still sweating. I am well adjusted to the heat and can even jog in the midday heat, but this is not ideal for my concentration, athletics, and also I think it doesn't help me cure what ever chronic digestive tract infection I may have (fungal?).

Let's compare the climate of Davao:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davao_City#Climate

To the airport of Hong Kong (which is next to Lantau Island):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Hong_Kong#Statistics

The other reasons for wanting to leave the Philippines are the daily brownouts, frequent Internet connection problems, boredom with the lack of athletic and scenic outlets for leisure time activities, and the lack of international cuisine. Local cuisine is okay, but after 10 years I am tired of it.

Also the noise from neighbors (e.g. a piano played by kids loud enough that my earplugs aren't sufficient) and that for example the bathrooms and kitchens aren't well designed and appointed, e.g. the shower sprays onto the toilet and so after someone takes a shower I get to walk on a wet floor and sit on a wet toilet.

One thing that has kept me here other than not really having enough funds to move, is that I own a 2003 model diesel Isuzu SUV here.

I think Hong Kong is the most likely next destination for me, as soon as I can afford it. Looks like Mui Mo on Lantau Island is the best combination (for now, although massive development plans are promulgating now for community feedback) of rural environment, hiking/jogging trails, affordability, public transport access to Hong Kong island, quaint beach life, quaint restaurants with international cuisine, and modern apartments (with I assume reliable+fast Internet access).

I even see basketball courts (this is a small neighboring island):

I spend roughly $300 a month for my main house here in Davao in a nicer, walled security subdivision, and another $80 monthly for a crappy house up on the cooler hillsides, which I maintain so I have two Internet connections with the two major ISPs (Globe and Smart) in case one is offline then I can drive to the other. Ditto for the brownouts, since rarely brownout in both locations simultaneously. It is roughly a 15 - 20 min drive if no traffic (and I am often awake in the night for the cooler fresh and sleeping in day in aircon). That is not including the cost of my two Internet connections ($60), electricity for both locations ($80), water ($8), diesel ($50), and food ($300+).

For Mui Mo, I would need to spend roughly $1500 monthly to get something decent (although this might decrease by 2017 if the HKD peg breaks as Armstrong is predicting):

I am estimating my transportation and food would be at least double in Hong Kong.

So my base monthly expenses (not including other things such as $256 month child support in USA, credit card debt installments, Internet services such as Skype, $100 salary for my gf who does all the cooking & cleaning, etc) would increase from roughly $880 to $2250. And I'd probably keep the $80 or $300 rental in the Philippines to store my car and things. Overall I would increase my monthly expenditures from roughly $1400 to $2850. So roughly double my monthly expenses.

If the crowdfund is successful, I will probably make that upgrade to my environment  by about October or November, as Hong Kong starts to cool off. The summers in Hong Kong are nearly as hot as here in Davao, so no advantage.

I tried to think of other places where I could relocate such that my filipina gf could likely attain a visa with minimum fuss and would be as convenient and affordable and I can't think of any. Any suggestions?

Note it is likely (according to Martin Armstrong's model which I ascribe to) for the USD to become very strong in 2017, so the increase in expenses would be mitigated if my funding is coming in US dollars. Hopefully the coming global economic contagion might slowdown the plans to transform Lantau island from 100,000 to 1 million population.

I am not looking at Hong Kong as a permanent destination. Perhaps 6 months to a year until the next stage of JAMBOX is achieved. Perhaps maintain an office in HK if turns out there are game developers or other reasons to have an office there ongoing.

The oregano oil is working great. Diarrhea appears to have abated. I am really hoping I am underway to being cured. I feel very hopeful with the way I can handle food and basically reverse any bad symptoms quite rapidly with high doses of the oregano oil.

I think it is time to get out of this sweltering climate. Need a change.
