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 Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

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.

Meanwhile, they can print 10x its value for even more lending.  Weeee!

They wont even print 90% of that loaned money, just digitally transfer it around. Much cheaper that way.
