Gavin will visit the Council on Foreign Relations

[BurtW]

Very interesting news indeed.

[Hippie Tech]

Please give those eugenicist corporate scum maggot nazis the finger for me.

First the CIA. Now this.

Tis a very sad day in Cryptoland.

Also, make sure that you are on your toes!

These types of meetings are meant for one thing only...to evaluate you / to size you up, so that they can figure out how to manipulate the situation in their favor.

Remember...Bitcoin doesn't need to ask for permission.  It doesn't need to cozy up to the enemy.  And, make no mistake, these guys are the enemy...of the masses...of the planet.

The more I think about it, this meeting is a real $*&t deal!

One day or another, this was to be expected. If bitcoin is really banking and governmental proof we shouldn't worry, no? As long as the source code remains open everything should be OK.

This is good, I'd hand out some printed paper wallets with a few bucks each, with directions on the black on how to import into a blockchain wallet. Good luck.

With biometrics on the horizon, this is anything but good for crypto currencies. And further proof that Bitcoin is a false flag /hope that will give the banksters the cashless society they've been dreaming of.

Why biometrics should be bad for cryptos? Cypro currencies are good money because they are flexible. It's not because you can use biometric that you are necessarily forced to use it.

For one, the religious christian wackos are going to get wackier because this will self fullfill yet another bible prophecy.

Two... kiss your anonymity goodbye.

What will you do if/when they decide to turn your power and/or internet connection off ?

Simply put, the CFR is the Establishment. I think they really don't understand why we hate them so much. I think the best outcome here is...meh. We don't want these bastards to know what a threat bitcoin is until it's too late to do anything about it. Gavin is good at this sort of thing. Get's all technogeeky until they snore. That's the optimum response, IMHO. If these guys get in at this point, we'll only take out Western Union and Paypal. I want ALL those bums to loose their shirts.

[remotemass]

This is what they have to understand:
It takes the same amount of energy to be happy or to be miserable.
It is much better they embrace bitcoin than to fight it and discover they cannot win the battle.
An international currency like bitcoin is the way to a much more united and fair world.

[JohnsonRobinson]

When talking about these guys, one word is all you need to check into:

'Ponerology'

Please highlight how bitcoin is a useless ponzi scheme and how your just doing this as a big joke. Make sure they don't invest anything. 

[Mageant]

Please be careful Gavin.
These people are master manipulators.

We have to get on from the conspiracy theories. Let us be realistic, if someone has to meet with these groups it should probably be Gavin. I view this development as excessively positive for the future of Bitcoin.

The word conspiracy theory is for hiding behind the straw man. People in the US just don't realize that their capitalistic system is a corporate system through and through. They don't even notice it. And corporatism means that business and government co-opt into a single net of of power. And its exactly institutions that CFR that stand for this. Of course if you're inside that bubble you don't realize it and think everything is just fuzzy and perfect. Like say a Larry Page or Mark Zuckerberg, running around and explaining how the future will just be more of the same. Of course they have no problem with working with the government on spying on people. They just don't call it that. And for someone in such a position to come out in the year 2014 (post Snowden) and play the conspiracy card is very telling. I hope the bitcoin community can really come up with much better positions than that.

One of the greatest intellectuals of the United States, Noam Chomsky, has some interesting things to say how forums such as the CFR operate: "The Council on Foreign Relations is essentially the business input to foreign policy plainning." [1] As far as I can tell inside the US Chomsky is seen as a conspiracy theorist or left-wing nut (which would be certainly the view inside of circles such as the CFR). But the view outside of the US is quite different. What I would like to see is the cryptocurrency system becoming more international. The foundation claims that bitcoin is "non-political online money", which is really absurd if one thinks about it.

Chomsky is considered a nutjob and conspiracy theorist in the US? News to me. Then again, I bet they call anyone a conspiracy nutjob who is anti-establishment there.

Noted CIA asset and self admitted space alien Gavin Andressen confirmed today that he is conspiring with the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral commission and the Bilderberger Group to bring about global hegemonic control of all bitcoin transactions through secret NSA backdoors and HAARP mining/weather control datacenters. When asked for comment, noted investigative journalist Alex Jones stated "I predicted this 10 years ago!"
