Chinese-US military tensions usually lead to some smoke in the financial markets ... currency devaluations, sovereign loan dumps, central bank interventions, etc.

Looks like US started war on two fronts - in Europe with Russia and in Asia with China. We all know from history how starting a war on two fronts ends up for the invader.

Working within the system I have finally come to realize the reality of how the US military works.

The high ranking officers in whichever duty locations want to accomplish something during their time there. They want soldiers underneath them to help them accomplish things. If they have some of their soldiers being redeployed to another location that is higher priority they start getting complaints of not having enough people to achieve their task.

They start pushing their agenda to the right people to make it known that their mission is every bit, if not more important than those other locations. They pressure the media and give out information about how the enemy in their location is "such a threat". They want the world to focus on their location so they can get more funding/soldiers/power. So there is this constant barrage of information about threats to various areas that tend to be a bit blown up to serve the needs of our military.

If the US military was not all over the world, it is likely that these so-called "threats" would never make it to the national news. They might make it to local media and newspapers. And they are not really actual threats to the United States.

DARPA. I'm going to guess that right now you're working on Bitcoin. That FLIES.

Very exciting stuff I'm sure.

CIA is just one of the 17 security agencies US have. Actually 50% of the work force in the US is working for the US government, US military, or for the military industrial complex that entirely depends on government funds. This explains why US is jumping from one war to another since WWII. This structure of the US economy is a big concern for the rest of the world. US establishment has basically two options - either keep starting bigger and bigger wars to support current state of economy or honestly tell average Joe and Mary that their standard of living will drop significantly if economy is allowed to correct itself. The latter is almost unthinkable. That is why we are where we are. Lets hope people with brains will prevail before it is too late.

It's way past too late ... it was too late on Sept. 11 2001. Demilitarising the USA MIC has about as much chance as demilitarising its police forces (which is a natural symptom of the wider manifestations.)

Indirectly...as a contractor. I work for General Dynamics on the Distributed Common Ground System - Army (DCGS-A). An ancient intelligence tool that I helped develop in 2005 when I was in Iraq that is still kicking.

A quick google search would tell you the same thing so it's not like I'm revealing anything new.

But ya, a libertarian in the heart of the MIC. I get to see first hand how our tax dollars are wasted. And I'll be the first to stand at the head of the line if you're going to throw your money away.

The only solution is to destroy US economy, hence cut the supply to the military-industrial complex. So... my opinion is to sell everything if you live in the US (while what you have still has value global value) ... denounce your citizenship to not be subjugated under IRS laws. And move to South America... and in my recommendation there is a state in south Brazil that has a mostly white population, made out of german and other european nations.

You and only everyone else on this forum thinks the same. Anyone who shorts this long term now is looking to get knocked out of the game.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Sorry no Chartbuddy quote today. Seems to be down.

Missed a day but I see we're back to scrapping over $680. Time to get this thing moving up.

[podyx]

Somebody went full fiat

Never go full fiat

[Torque]

So have we left the 640's for good?

Yeah right... 16,2k BTCitcoins have been removed from the market since the halving!

*Edit: That drop in processing power is from the western miners that have to pay their electricity with money! ... They don't have free electricity like China miners! So that means buying coins with the electricity bill money and trading with the coins is more productive than mining for the time being! ... They would probably need 10.000$ coins to use the equipment again... or maybe they are selling their hardware on eBay to get some extra cash and buy more coins!
