I'm pledging 5 BTC to the best refutation of this video (when it comes out). http://stlouisfed.org/education_resources/videocontest.cfm"The St. Louis Fed is sponsoring a YouTube video contest. We want your original video that explains the concept of central bank independence. What does independence mean for a nation's central bank? Let us know through your video creation! (See the links below for additional information on this topic.)" Would anyone else be interested? |

The forum strives to allow free discussion of any ideas. All policies are built around this principle. This doesn't mean you can post garbage, though: posts should actually contain ideas, and these ideas should be argued reasonably.

You want a refutation in the form of a video or short essay or what?
I love the built-in rhetoric of the Fed's contest. It's not a video to argue why central banks are important (because we all know society can't exist without them!), but rather why "independence" of the central bank is important.
If you need a written refutation, I'll happily provide one for 5 btc

Sorry, I actually meant a video refutation using Youtube's "Video Reply" option. I think that would get the largest audience.

Please talk about the BIS and how they're above the law

All posts by me after 2012 were a compromised account. Probably by "BBOD The Best Futures Exchange". SORRY Y'ALL

This is a waste of money. Invest your BTC into bitcoin instead.

I love that the prize is a savings bond, when they could've just printed the cash.
