Economic Devastation

[TPTB_need_war]

CoinCube, my response is that the free market will decide. And what ever it decides is what is.

Men control their top-down portion of the economy. But no man and no oligarchy controls the free market. Even massively collectivized Coasian barriers fall eventually.

If voluntary anonymity is repulsive or you believe (or hope) unsustainable because you don't like that people can voluntarily hide their reputations, then that is your personal pet peeve shared by many other jealous collectivists who irrationally fear everything that they can't control and thus hate human freedom. The free market will decide if anonymity is a better and sustainable paradigm or just a short-term fix to a peaking totalitarianism.

By the way, please don't forget to build a dossier reputation on every potential natural threat in the universe, e.g. include wild animals, unknown tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.. Or just do what many modern people do these days, which is try to keep nature as far away as they can and live in antiseptic bubbles with anti-bacterial soap and very stringent laws and political correctness peer pressure.

I say we all go accomplish and do what we want. And each other make our choices. And let the chips fall where they may.

Life is complex.

In this at least we are in 100% agreement.
I genuinely wish you the best of luck in your efforts.

[TPTB_need_war]

You too good luck.

Don't give up the development of the open-source decentralized ledger. Soon we gonna need it, no matter the outcome. And thanks for everything, both of you.

Good luck to you all.

Martin Armstrong is interviewed (first time I have ever heard him) for some 30 minutes here:

tl;dr version:

Don't buy bonds (US rates going up) or euros (big trouble in Euroland).

I am thinking...
Since the whole point in free market is to keep entropy high, comes to a conflict with the natural desire for growth of structures seeking higher efficiencies. What limits those structures from getting bigger and bigger until they start lowering the entropy o the market?
Seem to me that repeated crisis is the tool here, they are neccessary because they change the landscape so that structures with too low entropy aka too big, will fail to adapt and crumble.
Calling them dinosaurs is more than pun on the size but also on their fate, structures are grown into extinction.
Now if a structure tries to overcome the crisis by more growth by extra-market moves, then a bigger crisis will be needed to wipe it and the market will provide it out of self defence.
In this light the only way to avoid crisis recuring, is to extract those overgrown structures from the free market into a diffrent pen where the market will not need to retaliate by generating new crisis?
Ideally small shocks could keep the growth in check, but people think crisis bad and growth good, so they act to counter this mechanism only to receive a larger reaction and so on, so crisis intensity tends to increase monotonicaly.

I don't think quitting is in the vocabulary of AnonyMint.  

I believe our recent exploration of the solution space between socialism and individualism has been quite interesting.

However, it is important to remember that this debate is not being held in a state of balance but rather one of extreme and worsening imbalance.

In such an environment the arguments of the socialist must be held to a higher standard fully accepting them over individualist counters only if they are foolproof and undeniable.

Please don't ever think I've lost my love and appreciation for the relationship we built over the past year or so.

I still don't think you've gotten the point that anarchy contains top-down organization too and we humans are not superior to nature. But this is to be expected, because it is a philosophical difference but it is also the reason that I don't like white people as much any more as I did in my youth. I view them as dysfunctional, harmful meddling and "trying to fix everything that isn't broken" and not fixing their own shit especially this ubiquitous collectivist "control nature, nature is barbaric and repulsive" philosophy which is the root cause of the rising totalitarianism.

What is starting to kick in now is that I am really coming cured from the Multiple Sclerosis and my tiger feeling is coming back. I worked 16 hours and didn't even feel tired. I have 9 years of "catching up what I lost" itch to burn.

My new site was launched on Sunday and the acceleration of user signups is underway today.

Soon can move back to crypto-currency work. Cheers.

First time I've seen Armstrong use the term "knowledge age".

First they ignore you, next they fight you, and finally they join you.

In all honesty, formal education is destroying the so-called knowledge age.

Does the following quote resemble something I've been writing lately.

Re the Philippines, a friend of mine sent me good news!  Seems they have found palladium there:

Palladium is one of the platinum group metals, it also has unique properties that would be very useful if hydrogen fuel cells (esp. for cars) catch on.

Sorry I am blaming that attitude as the root cause. Until Westerners can look at themselves and their internal attitude as the cause, then your society must crash and burn.

And I am so proud of Marty (see linked blog posts below). I don't know if he did this because of my emails, but I will say I advised him that he can be very productive if he focuses on those who can use his information and not "cast his pearls at swine" as Jesus warned in Matthew.

P.S. my improving health is such an incredible change to my life! I am loving this life again. I can compete again finally! And oh boy do I want to compete!!! Nonstop work lately. Slept 6 hours then right back at it. I want to go crazy on athletics too. Just exploding with grrrr tiger male energy! Love it.

Bottom line is the masses and their Marxist delusion has always been the root problem as I wrote recently[1].

Yes central banking was needed to maintain confidence because the large concentration of monetary capital required for production in the Industrial Age, but in the fledgling Knowledge Age knowledge capital can not so centralized and thus we no longer will need a central bank to prevent runs on confidence.

The Knowledge Age paradigm shift I have elucidated upthread is profound.

Not really making any statement with this, but I ran into it not too long ago and found it nice to ponder.

really like it, seems reasonable now

I agree, MA's dissection of the matter (and debunking of conspiracy) is an enlightening read, extremely well written too.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-16/signs-elites-are-feverishly-preparing-something-big  <<<<<< IMPORTANT PLEASE PAY ATTENTION AND BE PREPARED.

I have always said that Obama will be the last 'elected' US President and that something big would happen before his term ended so he would have an excuse to suspend the US Constitution and become Dictator until the 'threat' passes. Problem is that the threat, just like the War on Terror, will never end and he will rule until he can pass on the dictatorship to someone he anoints.

I sure hope that I am wrong but all signs are pointing to my prediction coming true.

EDIT: People are still in denial that FEMA Camps (detention centers) exist nationwide.

[OROBTC]

...

In these weird times, and with the risk of further loss of rights leading to dictatorship, I think it always smart to be as prepared as is "reasonable" (you married guys will understand "reasonable").

Any and all of these are better than nothing: gold, guns & ammo, water & food production capability, Bitcoin (mobile money...), debt avoidance, a passport, rural land, repair skills, etc.

Full preparation on such a scale is almost impossible...  But, as the saying goes: "you don´t have to be able to run faster than the bear, just faster than the next guy..."

*  *  *

TPTB_need_war argues differently.  A Knowledge Age is to come (soon?), and it DOES make sense to enhance your skill set.  I have no problem with that. 

But no one can predict the future with much accuracy (certain kinds of predictions might be more obvious, I will concede that), so diversification in preparation (like in your investments) only seems smart.

I predict that before there is another election in the USA that rogue elements within the US Military Industrial Complex will detonate a nuclear device in a populated area and blame it on a foreign power or group.

On a side note - here is a WTF moment complements of Walmart:

Every store being shut down for 6 months for 'plumbing' repairs where no city permits have been issued, all fall in areas that will be included in Operation Jade Helm

Nuclear bomb detonation in a populated area....omg why are predicting such a situation? That will be devastating. How can you think something like this.
