I'm sure you guys talked about this yesterday, I was wondering if this is what started the decline in Bitcoin?

Bitcoin could become ‘outlawed the way gold was outlawed’ in 1934, speculates Bridgewater’s Dalio
https://finance.yahoo.com/m/c478811c-035e-3530-9927-6e3fc009924d/bitcoin-could-become.html
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The topic was discussed earlier today. Just do a ctrl + F for @taskmaster4450's comment about Dalio.
I personally think the crackdown was bound to happen but I am waiting for the banks and the business people to fight it out. Regulations will definitely be the focus as the government wants to maintain their control.

The latest update on the first month for the musicforlife tribe after VIBES went live. Summary apparently the new things they are working on are:

Cool! A new UI is much needed for Music4Life! Lot's of potential there
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I find the normal UI for most of the front-ends a little bland and I would prefer a change. I wonder if the speed of comments will be better like LeoFinance or will it only look better.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Radio? Sounds like a Pandora type of thing. Maybe something to let play in the background while we're surfing the web. Good to see they're not sitting still. Next thing you know, they'll be the LeoFinance of music! :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It would a radio for the independent musicians of HIVE. If you haven't looked, you can try listening to the tracks on the Rising Star game. It cycles through music created by people in the community. There is also a one hour show every Sunday with tracks from the community and you can win Rising Star NFTs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Seems like they have some good plans. Glad to see another tribe with at least a road map they are trying to implement.
So few do. There is some hope for that community I believe.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea coming in with a plan is good and they are pushing for things right at the start. It also keeps people up to date every week with their progress. I just hope some of them start being implemented and not postponed too much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If this community continues like this, it will undoubtedly be among the main ones in the Hive blockchain. It is good to see that your plans are very interesting.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well more than the community I think the team is doing a great job . Having a roadmap , introducing new stuff , going beyond Hive - that's amazing .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Expanding horizons is the best decision to make.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah that's what LEO is doing and seems like other tribes like VIBES are following it . CTP has a good roadmap too so I am bullish on them .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
VIBES I am not part of the community but I hope it will be one of the best on the platform. CTP will still grow much more and I have great expectations for the future.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah once the new UI is released and the secret project mentioned in the roadmap is uncovered , I guess it will pump too .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is vital to get beyond Hive and push things outside our borders.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If a tribe has to get attention , new UI has to be their top priority . Looks like this tribe is doing amazingly well as of now .
With NFT and stuff coming in , I will definitely hop on over there and be more active .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I think its good to have a plan but I wonder how the NFT system is going to work out. It takes more than just an idea to ensure that these NFTs still have value.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah that's true but until we try it we won't know it I guess . Once it is started , I guess more ideas flow . I am happy because atleast 1 tribe on Hive has included NFT in their roadmap .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think when agroed put out the plan of diesel pools, he also put out the idea of NFTs for tribes. I think also lassecash wants to sell NFTs that would modify how many of its tribe tokens one would get from post.

Are you tired of the lockdowns? I am and sure wish things would be back to normal. I guess the lockdown fatigue is really starting to hit and people are pushing back enough that Merkel had to shut down her plans.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The lockdowns have pretty much ended where I live, even on St Paddy's Day nobody was wearing a mask inside the bar or outside in the party area.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well in California, some things have been able to returned back a little bit. But I can definitely see plenty of masks everywhere. People are less paranoid right now and its weird enough that I see people wearing masks when driving alone in a car.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah well perhaps the fact that no lockdown, more people, and an older population yet few deaths than NY had something to do with it. That state locked things down to the nth degree and still more people died.
How is that?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wish I could explain that, I still think sunshine kills the virus and that's why we faired better, plus all the vitamin B from the sun.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The biggest problem was them sending sick people to nursing homes where the most vulnerable was. Did you expect to see reduced death rates when you endanger the those most at risk? All you got to do is look at Cuomo and Whitmore.

Worse than the blockages are the taxes that are running out of us little by little ... Every week the prices of food and hygiene utensils increase ... The fuels keep rising and every time I refuel I see a different price and still I’m not walking much on the street.

Tell me about it. Same thing over here; there's no lock down in my country anymore but things keep increasing and what get me worked up has a student is how to support my two retired parents which the government doesn't give there pensions. And this is happening because there no drive for personal improvement they want for the country.

Hm that sucks , where are you from if I may ask ?
This is happening here in India too , taking the pension has become such a big problem here for old age people , it really sucks .

Thank you :) Giving my best nowadays , haven't really wasted a minute , have been doing something or the other .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it definitely is unsustainable. The packages took half a year to pass in Congress so the payments are actually what people needed 6 months ago. I wish they understood what the people needed and get it to them faster rather than bickering or filling their own coffers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The problem is that they really care about the population ... Unfortunately, we know that this is practically impossible.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
When they don't know to handle the situation , they just go for lockdowns , it has been proven that it won't work but the government doesn't care . They just want to show to others that they are doing something even if it is utter stupidity .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is how Congress operates. It is always behind. What they dole out now was needed last year. What they start to talk about now is needed immediately.
Of course they have to play their games for the cameras to ensure they get the publicity they need.
None of this actually helps people.
That is why we need to take all the power we can from them. People who support either party are feeding it, screwing themselves.
The Biden voters are going to learn what a catastrophe they set up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think they already have. All those union workers lost their jobs. The kids are essentially in the cage facilities. Riots and protests have not stopped. Violence has not stopped. A bunch of people got removed from the stimulus checks and much more.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well that is what I get for not watching the news.
Is that stuff evident to the average sheeple?
I cannot believe the mainstream news is out there touting what you just mentioned. The likes of CNN will do all they can to hide it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea but I was surprised that CNN came out with the border crisis first out of the news networks. I guess they might start chasing the money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Can't agree more . The diesel and petrol here has touched 1.5$/Lt . It used to be around 90 cents if you calculate in dollar terms and has almost went up by 60% . All the farmers are finding it very difficult to pay the fuel prices for their tractor and other machines .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is what happens when you have every oil company in the world shutting down production because of a glut in oil. Couple that with the idea of closing pipelines and you get a shortage of oil.
Of course, few of the brainiacs in the general public understand that things such as food production and transportation depends upon oil for production.
Add that to the food shortage resulting from the global shutdown and we can see how some areas are going to enter famine.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
true that! i dont know if i can attribute the hardship in my country to covid but a lot has changed for many households since the pandemic. the cost of living is way above the roof and there is a lot of scared and depressed youths in the street uncertain about their future.

It is true, in many places things have gotten much worse. Unemployment, hunger and misery are one of the factors that have intensified because of the pandemic, but I hope that things can change for the better as soon as possible.

The tyranny across the world is pathetic. We need to stand up and rise against these politicians and bureaucrats.
What they are doing to people are criminal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
All the criminals have become politicians , that's the problem . Here so many journalists gets threat calls ( I am sure it is the same over there in US too ) that many fear to talk against them . I literally give 0 crap when dealing with government , last month I complained to the higher authority about lack of information regarding a particular document and I had to travel back and forth 13 times to get it . Once I complained , I got my document next day .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In the US, the media is in bed with the agenda.
And I think you meant to say all politicians are criminals. There are many criminals out there who aren't politicians. LOL
We also have the problem with bureaucrats. These people are miserable, arrogant, and the system protects them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same here , all the major news channels are affiliated to one of the other major political party .
Oh yeah right , that's what I wanted to say .
Here it is a 50/50 situation , certain bureaucrats are very good , honest and really want to work for the people and also they go face to face against the government but the other half are as you said arrogant .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Even if they are good, they are a hindrance. That is what happens with government, it is the most inefficient model there is.
Yet we have to put up with it for so many areas of our lives.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And probably all politicians become criminals lol
It's funny, but it's tragic ...
There is so much bureaucracy to try to solve our problems that when it is something we need to do, the authorities do not even want to know about delays ...

I heard about a bill proposed in Canada about cutting the politicians salary to cut down deficit. That politician's bill got rejected by everyone else and last I saw, they were planning to kick him out.
If only these politicians took a cut to their paycheck like their citizens, then they might understand.

Could it be that the problem lies with their wives for corruption?

This is true, the worst is that many people are accommodated with the crumbs, it is that old saying of "bread and circus". I have no doubt that Brazil today is better known for its corruptions than for football, beach and samba as it was known abroad in the past ...
With the latest decisions by the Supreme Court I feel more disgusted in politics ... Next year we will have elections and I am even afraid to know the options.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL Elections?
Look at what the United States just did. Does anyone in their right mind trust election results?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is true, they stole the elections there in the face and without any shame ... As we already know ... it is trying to do everything so that in the not too distant future we can manage not to depend on banks, governments and anyone else.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
well like the article stated a scheduled lockdown could cause a large gathering which is something the government does want as it would lead to a wide spread of the virus.
i don't know what the pandemic is like in other countries but here it's business as usual. the hysteria over covid has died down significantly. The government has already started vaccination in different parts of Nigeria. I know a few people who have gotten vaccinated. i am yet to get vaccinated i don't know if I would honesty.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The problem isn't the reason but the fact that they are still insisting on lockdowns without actual proof that lockdowns have done anything compared to non-lockdown places. Also the reason why she decided to pull it back wasn't because of a large gathering but the heavy backlash she got after declaring another lockdown. They did not address people's economic situation and its definitely a problem if we still have to lockdown even after vaccinating.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Florida has more people, an older population and no lockdowns compared to New York which has more COVID deaths.
So there is an example of where the locked down area has more deaths.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I agree. This is why Fauci's latest Senate hearing was so bad. He couldn't explain when asked about that data. All of it seems like a partisan hack implementing lock downs. If you can prove something and I think its reasonable, I will trust you and follow the directions. Whereas right now, there is no clear data so I don't know what to trust.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Screw that. No way I am going to trust Big Pharma with some RNA altering drug that was hardly tested.
People who are lining up for the vaccine, especially the young, are completely insane.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Some are more tyrannical than others. Isn't it amazing that the ones breaking the lockdown orders are the ones who scream for them the loudest: Merkel, Pelosi, the Mayor of Chicago.
Fucking hypocrites of the tallest order.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They definitely are. I thought Fauci was hit pretty hard in the latest Senate testimony. He was pretty much bsing about not knowing because one the research documents used to validate the lockdowns had the National Institute of Health on it. I think everything is starting to crack and I wonder how long until nobody will listen to them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As long as the mainstream media keep beating the drum, most will listen. They are so full of crap their eyes are brown.
It is no wonder people are starting to realize it is all bullshit.
No matter, keep sending out the money and hope the masses will stay calm. Unfortunately for them, a check wont cure what ails people now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the problems are really becoming way more apparent. They were covering up the border crisis but apparently it has become so too big. I hope people understand that we need a 3rd party that actually cares about us because the existing politicians don't care about us.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We know two party system is failed since they, in the end, are both the same.
Look at the border crisis as you mentioned. Biden is no different than Trump other than not building a wall. Of course, the Democrats are in favor of walls as Pelosi is building one around Washington to protect her psychopathic ass.
Politicians have one goal: to get re-elected. That is all.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I almost feel like Congress would be better if we randomly picked citizens to be Congressman for certain temporary terms and got rid of voting altogether. At least it would be inline with reality and the donors would have problems influencing people.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I’m not much of a technical analyst so I’ll just note without comment that Hive’s recent price rise was on heavy volume but its subsequent decline has been on light volume.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No clue what is going on with the price. It was obviously a pump but the dump followed the market and wasn't particular to Hive.
So it might be just it is being pulled down with the rest of the market.
We will know in a week if it goes up or down.
That will be the best time to guess there things will be a week from now.

I rarely post through leofinance.io
It’s because I can’t upload images. PeakD works just fine, bit with leofinance.io I always get this error message:

It was such a huge help having my Metamask connected to Leo Finance. @crystillhumun hooked me up with some Bnb to get started and it was pretty easy with all the directions on Cubfi. From there, my Bleo bought all of the necessary trade pairs and I farmed away.

I made a huge mistake today😢😓trying to send money to my wallet just to start my cub farming and i got scammed by the wallet customer agent due to the fact that crypto wallets can not be connected to my bank so i used peer to peer payments.
The money was debited from my account without been blocked but it took time to get credited on my wallet so i messaged the customer support on Facebook to get assistance and after the money got paid to my wallet the customer care agent just decided to take advantage of me and transferred all my money by buying Trorex crypto. Now, i just want to share this not to always panic when transactions are been made and always trust any customer agent dealing on a crypto wallet. And never invest with all your saving.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea that is the tough part about crypto. Trying to convert fiat into crypto is fairly though without a trustworthy company. You need to call out those companies with proof. Bash them online and show it to the rest of the world. I bet you they will take actions once the proof is out and their credibility goes down the drain.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I really hate it when big tech takes over companies instead of trying to create a competitor. I guess it's just easier and more profitable to take over the incumbent. I mean Google bought Youtube for a "mere" 1.65B and now Youtube is worth a couple of hundred billion or something like that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There is a suit going on in US against the FB for this reason only right ? It not only kills competition but also innovation and creativity.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think there is too many law suits against the big tech companies I can't keep track. It's possible but I think it is for buying out their messenger competitors.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is why we just need to keep creating our own.
Decentralization will help to make them vulnerable. It is not easy but, in my view, starts one person at a time.
Just need to start converting people over.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I am hoping that the conversion is starting more and more. The biggest plus I see recently is that the big tech corporations aren't talking about user numbers anymore. So I think they aren't being very favorable for them right now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I hadnt noticed that part about the user numbers but it makes sense. We need ProjectBlank to hit and take a few million users away from Twitter. If we can do that, it is game on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is how it usually operates.
They either buy it and roll it in or shelve it. That is not only tech but corporations in general. Look at Facebook and Instagram. They bought it for a billion dollars and now who knows what it is worth.
It is important for start ups not to sell out. However, a young developer creates something and gets offered a ton of money, it is obvious what that person will do.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
it is a dog-eat-dog world out there. This is why we hammer our own taking back ownership from these institutes and corporate giants, even the government. they are monopolizing everything and that is dangerous. the average joe doesn't care as long he gets the services and products he wants.

Yea I saw the article. Discord was already having issues before this since they already kicked off a few channels already. I think one of the law channels I follow on youtube got kicked off Discord and I think it was because of some bs reasons that the mods took care of fast.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah well that I understand but a bunch of decentralization advocates hanging out there all day long just bsing about nothing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I am hoping they set up something before they get kicked off. Otherwise people will be in chaos about where to go.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol well said . They are doing exactly opposite of what they are propounding . "Hive is decentralized , all should move here "
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You look at most of them and see the amount of engagement they do onchain and it is pathetic.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would actually prefer if they chat on discord but then bring up the discussion on-chain afterwards to involve more people. It's also why some people were complaining about the DCity politics stuff but I think it was a nice change.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The problem is , they don't bring it over here . They chat it over there and leave it over there as far as I know .
I don't see how that is adding value to Hive or Leo . Discord is essential in helping new users and solving queries but all the discussions must happen over here .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah but that doesnt happen either. They simply keep in their own cubby hole on discord.
Sad but we could have 50,000 comments on chain if those people would spend half their time posting comments.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They will find an excuse to hang out there but will never take charge and hop on here for discussions . Sad state of affairs .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
maybe we will have a discord like service on hive. I would certainly use it more
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's difficult given the 3 seconds block and the need to refresh to load comments but certainly if the devs wish to do it , they can .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not sure that is possible. I would agree but it doesnt seem like that would be doable. Discord has all types of private features and what not.
But it is worth exploring if someone could do it.

Did you ever hear the bullshit about the world is heading towards overpopulation and we have to reduce the number of people. Bill Gates is one of those who believes this.

I saw the fertility drop in person over in Germany. The staff told me that they were even offering Germans bonus money if they had more kids and even that didn't move the needle. They told us that was the main reason Merkel let in over a million refugees back in 2015. Apparantly they need 800k arrivals per year just to keep up.
The average age of an auto plant worker in Germany is 43...
And rising...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Germany has peaked in terms of its native population. It is now on the downward path like Japan. Spain too I believe.
The United States finds itself in the same boat but immigration does make up for much of it. That is what Germany is trying to do. The problem is that, economically, little is felt from the first generation of immigrants. It is only after the second generation is born, educated, and assimilated to a degree do you see significant economic impact. Thus it can have a boost in 20 years or so but it will take a while.
The German auto industry is in rough shape anyway. The cost of energy is hitting these companies hard.
We will see how that all pans out.

Gloomy times ahead ... Now has it decreased in the last 50 years? With the pandemic, there are several conspiracy theories to say that Covid-19 was something intentional for the population to have a significant reduction ... Well, I don't want to believe that ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The vaccine might be the thing used to lower the population. We will see how many people drop dead within the next year.
Of course, they are likely to be older so people will just say they were old.
There are already cases in the US where people got the vaccine and drop dead a few days later.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Actually I think the worst thing is that every death was classified as a COVID death by hospitals during the crisis. They did so for the money because if the source of death happens to be COVID, they get reimbursements by the government.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Many states here have done this, the worst is that many government officials used the money intended for the treatment of Covid-19 and diverted it into their pockets. That is why Manaus was in a terrible situation that even oxygen did not have for its patients.
Corruption plagues not only here but worldwide.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes the corruption needs to be weeded about. The entire economy is crumbling so something will happens soon enough. Yea and the media keeps covering for the politicians so its so hard to keep people informed.

What I see most are people who are even intelligent but very alienated by certain things and politically blind ... It's complicated ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Without a doubt.
We had a guy on a motorcycle killed on the highway, was actually decapitated. The cause of death: COVID.
The local media went nuts with it.
The number of cases were severely overstated.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well they need the numbers to scare people but I am pretty sure their friends/family are pissed at them mislabeling their cause of death.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is like the HIV situation all over again. They fluff the numbers to make people scared so that they agree to behavior modification.
If people really would research, the numbers are there.
I see these people with masks and it is laughable.

Unfortunately it happens and if God willing my parents will not die because of it. This week I took them to get vaccinated.
It was their choice to get vaccinated, although today we don't have much of a choice. My wife and I don't intend to vaccinate but the way things are I don't even know what to do ...
It means continuing with my isolation and praying that I and my family will not be contaminated.

Some good info in there about not only China but also Japan and Korea.

It sure is some interesting information. I guess having so much data on their population came in helpful when they needed to see what policy has the best effect. However I think it is clearly a downward trend.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We will increase most likely into the middle of this century, on a global basis and then head down.
The west is already heading that was as is Eastern Asia.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
India also wanted to introduce two-child policy but we looked at the existing problem with China and backed off ( fortunately ) .
Also the fertility rate is around 2.2 in India right now ( 2.1 is the rate of replacement ) so we don't need any policy in this front for now .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
India is one of the areas that is destined to keep growing along with Nigeria.
They will be the two most populous according to researchers expectations.
Of course, that could change as the country gets wealthier. That tends to diminish growth rates of population since people have more options and focuses.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah ? But a recent forecast predicted that from 2050 Indian population will start declining and by 2100 we will be less than a billion .
Right now we are 1.3B .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah China is set to lose about 500 million people by 2100. They are going to peak in the next few years so they are about 25 years ahead of India.
It is bound to happen. As populations grow and countries get wealthier, the number of children decline. This happens all over the world.
So the fear of overpopulation, in the next 20-25 years, the mantra will be the fear of underpopulation and there wont be enough people for us to survive as a species.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah when the survey results were announced , they tied the population / fertility rate to two things .

I get what he's saying in positioning us against for example, China, but since we have one of the three federal immigrant detention centers nearby, we've been innundated with a wave of destitue people here, when we can't even care for the locals.
Can we absorb that many people?
This would also drastically change the politics of America. We have 330 million now, Adding another 700 million would change everything. If it happens, it'll be interesting to watch.

Actually I am not surprised. They actually want to inject hormones into kids to affect their growth. I saw a few cases in California where they were injecting hormones into juveniles by threatening them with prison and not telling their parents. There are also cases everywhere pushing the gender related stuff so sperm counts down makes sense to me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes there is no doubt that there is an evil faction among us intent on killing off as much of the population as they can.
The use of medical technology is one way to do that. They are putting hormones in everything to make sure they get to this end.

lol the sperm count comment got me. well, I heard jordan Peterson talk about how the theory of overpopulation is BS. i am not a scientist and I haven't done much deep research on the subject but it makes sense. But in retrospect, isn't it crazy how we take random comments as facts without doing proper research. it is fact because someone popular said it is so.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Jordan Peterson has the interaction skills of sandpaper but he is often spot on. He does his research and is aware of the numbers.
The simple fact is you have the West and East Asia all either declining or about to decline. This leave Africa and India which, as was pointed out, both will peak in the next 30-40 years.

That is why we need it in no hands. We need to focus upon decentralization like with the Internet.
The Internet is already a super-intelligence that is all knowing, always on, and has all the answers. It also cannot be turned off in all likelihood and will just getting bigger.

I like AI but I don't know what to think about it. I wonder how many people they will hook up to get enough data and whether or not they can use what they learn to replace humans online.

They have your voiceprint, thanks to Alexa, Google and Siri. Your fingerprint, which they're now asking for even more. Your DNA and scans of your face and body, thanks to phones, security cameras and the TSA. And because of the internet, they know what you think about a whole range of issues.
So it looks like Project 2045 is right on track. They'll have enough information by then that they could clone us and who would know the difference? They even planned an Amy Winehouse hologram tour. At some point, they'll be bio-synthetic creations and then we're off to the races!

I have a feeling it is because some of the checks are slow in arriving. People are not going to stop spending. At this point, consumerism is in their DNA.

I think the people on the lower end of the spectrum are learning to not spend as much. The money was needed 6 months ago so I think they are already half a year behind. So those struggling will probably make the most of it. The people who didn't struggle will probably spend it without thinking.

Lol. I think our society will be messed up by the amount of people filing for bankruptcy and I wonder how our credit system will look after all these people default.

Yeah well the credit system I think went out the window years ago. I dont think anyone gets turned down. Instead, they just get approved by at a higher rate. That is where all this subprime crap comes in.
Look at auto loans, go into a car dealership and everyone gets approved.
I guess they can charge a high enough rate of interest to overcome the bad loans they have to write off...or more likely they sell the loans so they dont care what happens to them.

Yes we all should focus upon our SEO if we can. It takes all of us doing things that can add to it. Every little bit helps in my opinion.

I agree with the store of value sentiment.
But isnt that the point? If it is a store of value and not a unit of exchange, then the central bank has nothing to fear. Bitcoin will be hindering gold but not the USD.
That is where I find him to be all over the place.

I think it also affects USD because of the liquidity crisis. The more money that moves out of the US economy, the more the problem increases. Also the stock market is addicted to the increased money supply so if the amount entering starts to drop, it will also affect his own assets.

I find that my account is slowly building so I think it would be decent. As for the compounding, I don't think I have waited long enough for that. The best version of compounding would probably be UTOPIS given the APR but I don't think it will maintain its current APR unless it is hard capped.

This is a major concern for that agenda if you ask me. The more of the elite that are into Bitcoin, the less they will be able to do anything about it. Especially if we see a number more Fortune 500 companies involved.
