Having spent time doing the legwork, I have a completely different perspective on the issues.
If you choose to live in the world of pretending, or if you trust the expressed justifications and motives of the USG as outlined by the DC proletariat, this is not going to be a read that retains your comfort. However, if you want to boil it all down to the real reasoning, read on.
Top line – JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon wants cryptocurrencies banned in the USA.
(Newsmax) – JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Wednesday suggested bitcoin currency should be banned.
Dimon was speaking during a Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing on Capitol Hill.
“I’ve always been deeply opposed to crypto, bitcoin, etc.,” Dimon said in response to a question from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. “The only true use case for it is criminals, drug traffickers … money laundering, tax avoidance because it is somewhat anonymous, not fully, and because you can move money instantaneously. “If I was the government, I would close it down.” (read more)
Bottom line, the non-pretending reasoning. The US Treasury has set the financial system on an almost unreversible path to a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency. Crypto is a threat to the establishment of that objective.
The leftists and Marxists who now control the various institutions we associate with the United States Government, together with the DC UniParty apparatus that controls the Potemkin village we call congress, are in full alignment with the control objective. What and who is their target for control? Us.
I’m going to be brutally honest and seemingly radical, but here is the Occam’s razor.
If you have ever wondered why Hillary Clinton could hold a reset button with a visit to Russia, expressing a direct interest in improved relations. Then, if you have ever wondered why Barack Obama would tell Russian President Medvedev he just needed to get through the 2012 election to have “more flexibility,” again expressing an interest in improved relations with Russia; then seemingly all of that is dispatched in 2016 to make Russia the #1 threat…. keep reading.
What happened?
How did the Obama administration go from all efforts to be on good relations with Russia 2009 through 2015, then suddenly pivot to the exact opposite with the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy, the Russian election interference nonsense, the expulsion of Russian diplomats in Dec/Jan 2017 and suddenly Vladimir Putin as the archvillain for the world? Apparently, few have ever really asked how that happened.
Here’s the big picture, as seen through the prism of the EU and the non-pretenders in Eastern Europe.
The Marxists in the Obama admin needed a boogeyman in order to pull off their domestic heist and secure the “fundamental change.” The CIA and State Dept were deployed to utilize Ukraine in 2014 to create the boogeyman, Russia. Ukraine would be the stick to poke Russia. The USA needed a proxy; they created one and made the participants rich.
Provoked, Russia fell into the trap and took control of Crimea as they perceived the NATO expansion and likely control of the Black Sea as a threat. The Crimea move gave the CIA and State Dept the exact response they intended.
The Russia boogeyman was created.
But why? Why would the effort of the U.S. Government be to provoke and create this crisis?
In the biggest of big pictures, the domestic fundamental change needed it. We needed a reason to put walls around the U.S – not to keep Russia out, but to keep Americans locked in. Conflict with Russia became the Obama version of Bush’s conflict with Iraq. Putin now cast to play the role of Bin Laden.
The Patriot Act was never intended to stop foreign terrorists from attacking the USA. The Patriot Act was intended to create the DHS surveillance system for domestic control. It succeeded. The Russian sanctions were never intended to sanction Russia (and they don’t). The Western sanctions against Russia were intended to build walls around the U.S. financial system.
Ostracizing the world’s global trade currency, the dollar, from the global trade system was/is a necessary step in controlling domestic currency. If there is a threat, the government needs to respond. That’s how the crisis is created and not wasted.
Yes, what I am saying is there was a longer and deeper play afoot, a ‘trillions at stake’ game by those who control money and power, using foreign threat as the justification for something that just would not be possible without it. That’s why Trump was never allowed to breathe for a moment, whenever Russia or Vladimir Putin was mentioned. The control forces needed Trump to be adversarial to Russia, regardless of whether the threat was real. After all, it was supposed to be a willfully blind Hillary Clinton in place during this phase.
Conflict with Russia created the opportunity for the USA to create a sanctions regime that doesn’t truly sanction Russia, instead it controls the world of USA finance. At the end of that control mechanism is a digital dollar, a Central Bank Digital Currency…. and by extension full control over U.S. citizen activity. The Marxist holy grail.
That moment is closer than most can fathom, and that is exactly why the counterforce of a cryptocurrency, a rebellious mechanism for free people to exchange payment for goods and services, must be stopped by the same USG that is triggering the CBDC. Crypto is a threat. Jamie Dimon, along with all the major banks and financial institutions, is one key beneficiary that CBDC (a transactional player for fees therein) so long as JPMorgan stays on task.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon opposes cryptocurrency.
Democrats, really Marxists, oppose cryptocurrency.
Republicans, really financial beneficiaries of the largesse, oppose crypto currency.
The narrative…. Only criminals, that means those who would be defined as domestic terrorists like pesky remnants of our nation who demand freedom and liberty, would support cryptocurrency. Criminals, tax cheats, bad people support crypto. Don’t be a bad person comrade citizen. Insert vote, pull lever, get pellet, go back to sleep. You will own nothing and be happy comrade.
Yes, that’s the bigger picture.
Can it be stopped? I laugh, look in the mirror, think about the reality of how many people think this is an absurd conspiracy theory, and respond with…. How many people even know about the thing you are asking to oppose?
How many people would believe the Western sanctions against Russia were really the USG building a cage to keep us in. How about we start there. That’s my answer.
You can travel to Russia. Wait, what?
Yes, you can travel to Russia without issue. The Russians don’t care. The process for getting an entry visa into Russia is the same now as it was five years ago. Ask Russia for a VISA. The paperwork has not changed. Show your passport, give them pictures to create the visa (it’s a full page sticker added to your passport), show your hotel reservation printout, show your travel destination, drop off the paperwork, go back on your appointment date and get the visa.
It’s hard and takes longer from the USA, but it’s not impossible – it’s just easier from the EU. It’s the booking of a flight into Russia (best done in the EU), the payment for a hotel given the sanctions, the stuff created by the USA that is the roadblock. From the Russian side of the dynamic, nothing has changed – they don’t care.
How do I know? The friendly people at the Russian consulate in Budapest walked me through the process. So, find a way to pay for the hotel in Russia (there are many options), travel to the intermediary airport that has flights into Russia (like Istanbul, Barcelona, Budapest) go to the second smaller terminal in the major airport, hop in the flight and fly in. Russians don’t care. Go have a good time. Leave the same way you came in. [If by train or road, just have the VISA ready for review]
Scared about travel? Why?
The same people who tell you where to be scared traveling as an American, are the same people who told you Trump was colluding with Russia.
Da comrade!

Thanks for the link. Just watched it and will read the book later. A real eye opener!
So they needed Putin to be a boogey man but is he just one of them going along with the ruse? He did not fare very badly in this deal, now did he? He got additional land, looks like a hero to his own and was given a reason to wipe out an entire army that could oppose him. We teed it up, he took the swing.
Interesting idea.
I have always figured Putin and Xi Ping are aligned with the globalists, Marxists, and Leftists. Their reasons may be different but all these groups desire the same outcome…. That we the proletariat (common people, peasants, poor and middle class people) throughout the world are controlled and the population reduced to a manageable number worldwide. “You will own nothing and be happy.”
NULLIFICATION is the answer
Please SUNDANCE shine a light on the efforts in Tennessee to push though a bill in the spring to provide a mechanism for Tennessee and any state that adopts similar legislation to NULLIFY UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL LAWS
This is the way that avoids civil unrest and potentially civil war!
Please draw attention to this bill and the effort !
Thank u!!
The 10th Amendment was the original nullification, and look what happened. The government went to war to overturn it. Plan accordingly.
Ditto
I thought that was a given right of any State. It’s supposed to be that no State law can be allowed that is not in compliance with the US Constitution doesn’t is follow that any law that is unconstitutional being put forth by the US government does not need to be obeyed by any State.
States are now so dependent on Federal funds I doubt any of them would adopt legislation to nullify or simply not obey a federal law, on Constitutional grounds. This is another good reason to take back our State and local governments, something we’ve neglected for to long.
Lee will veto it. Count on it.
This worked for the original law mandating national ID cards – many states just ignored it, albeit because it did not come with funds to pay for the infrastructure (versus standing on principle).
Also need state banks backed by gold, and laws against outlawing cash. It’s going to have to be a federalist/regional response.
I remember when Trump pondered aloud if it would be so bad for Russia to be our friend. My response to that is the same today as it was back then, a resounding NO it would not be so bad for Russia to be our friend.
After the USSR collapsed, the West saw the new Russia as a sham of a state to be looted and pillaged, not as a potential future ally to be nurtured. Russia has responded accordingly.
@Gem, Russia can’t trust our gov’t. We change every 4 years and have obviously bad actors in bureaucracy forever. I wouldn’t trust our country if I were them. It sucks, the situation.
Ha! How many CITIZENS OF THE U.S. trust our government? Certainly not I.
Central banks buying up gold so as to equalize holdings at 4 percent of GDP, with Poland in a great big hurry:
https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/polish-central-bank-buys-gold-according-secret-eu-plan
What does that mean? Are they meeting the BRICS challenge to be on a gold standard?
I really do not know.
But I figure that those who have the means to do so probably wouldn’t be wrong to play follow the leader. Although of course the Roosevelt maneuver haunts that path.
I would hope that a lot fewer people would comply with an unconstitutional order to turn in their previous metals now than did then.
The government does what you expect, most times – my grandmother told stories from her family about the Union troops coming through with long sticks to poke any recently turned earth, to locate and seize any silver anyone had buried, towards the end of the Civil War.
Government gonna government.
Spit.
Its around 2025 today up from it was steady for months at around 1980.
A week or so back, it was up around 2080 I believe, then took a BIG drop… manipulation? again?
Gold, like diamonds, has little intrinsic value, but has an artificial price.
It means that fractional fiat banking is about to go bankrupt.
The Germans introduced the RENTENMARK backed by 4% of the assets of industry, agriculture and trade in 1923 to combat the hyper-inflation of the Reichsmark. They had no gold to back the new currency at that time.
I’m investing in Pb, three places to the right of Au.
I’m a bit dense on that… would you explain?
Meaning, if you have Pb, you can then get whatever Au you might need.
PB IS LEAD.
hE IS RIGHT , GUN RIGHT
No pun intended, Right?

Plumbum. This is a humorous thread.
All govts can control and even stop cryptocurrency.
All they need to do is control the internet (or quash the internet)
Crypto always seemed a bit abstract to me. Then again I’m getting old and didn’t think we’d get to this place this soon. Seems that things are ramping up. The FBI “warning” us of the possibility of Islamic terrorism happening is more of an FBI threat than a warning. We’re definitely at the point where nothing you hear or read seems kosher.
Be safe Sundance.
Problem with crypto is you need a wallet. Now I guess you could have your wallet in the Cayman Islands or something, not sure how that works out. Meanwhile if crypto means getting behind SBF, I think I’ll be giving that one a miss.
IIRC, you can hold it yourself on a thumb drive or even your computer. (The “bitcoin family” supposedly has thumb drives hidden around the world.) But I feel quite capable of losing an important thumb drive. And I recall reading that someone who recycled a computer with a few thousand bitcoin on it (from way back when it was worth squat) is still looking through landfills.
It’s a conundrum.
How does CBDC differ from my Visa credit card?
The crypto genie is out of the bottle and they can’t put it back in.
I think Jamie Dimon showed completed ignorance of Bitcoin when he said the government should “shut it down.” They can’t. That’s kind of the point of a distributed decentralized peer-to-peer monetary network.
I think they could but then how would they launder their money?
The govt can’t shut down crypto but they can regulate the hell out of anything ancillary to it, for example, places to buy and sell crypto coins.
Ask anyone who uses crypto at all.
Honest question, Why would anyone want to buy a crypto coin?
Sure the US Govt can shut it down, not completely but nearly. They can shut down all crypto exchanges and make crypto illegal for purchasing any goods or services. That effectively makes crypto worthless.
Yeah, kinda’ like an IRA or a 401(k). Or the Dollar. Nothing like having the “Full Faith and Credit” of the United States behind you. They are all manipulated at the whim of the people who are supposed to represent us, people who are controlled “by others”.
Crypto depends on exchanges. The government can shut those down.
We are running up close to a true 1790-heads-in-the-basket situation as detailed in the article above. One thing that I can say with certainty is that there will always be some manner of “cash” whether crypto or wampum. Another is that our founders were wise to spell out the Bill of Rights and Andy Jackson was right in his suspicions about the Bank of the US.
God bless Andrew Jackson.
After the education of these last few years, my view of American Presidents is completely rearranged. Jackson and Jefferson are the two greatest, together with Washington. Lincoln has sunk to less than he was, while the Roosevelts, both Teddy and FDR, have sunk to the bottom.
No wonder my grandparents hated Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Can’t say I agree about Lincoln but then I wasn’t educated to hate any mistakes he made while saving the country from being divided.
“the same people who told you Trump was colluding with Russia.”
JMO.
And the same people who created a joint venture in 2015 specifically to stop citizen Donald Trump from becoming President Trump
And then doubled down after he was elected to steal the 2020 election from him
And then, after President Trump didn’t concede
Went into a full blown coverup for 3 years (ongoing) to cover up their crime and to try to stop their prosecution.
Yup, that be the infamous “COW-coup-d’état against America’s Constitutional Republic and President Trump.”
An issue with the JP Morgan vs Crypto discussion is that JP Morgan has tons of crypto on their portfolio balance sheet and even a Crypto specific trade component just like ALL the other major investment houses. Jamie Boy is playing the double speak and gaslight game.
As for opposing crypto currency … the political and financial elite need it as the means to create a single “world currency”, which removes the power of Governments to DEFINE FINANCIAL VALUE. The ability to define FINANCIAL VALUE would rest with the non-government entity CENTRAL BANKS (the real puppet masters). every act by the US Government and US Central Bank (the FED) a driving to a controlled crypto currency aligned with the “word currency”. The end result is the same fascist control described by Sundance.
[Note: I do not believe the key political elites in DC and Many State Capitals are Communists nor Marxists. Political Party’s are a useful control mechanism used to group the non-Elite. They are plain and simple Fascist Dictators drunk on power and money.]
Wrecking and then gaining central control the economy that contributes over 40% of the buying power driving global GDP is a must for the DAVOS Puppet Masters.
I fully agree with the theme that the US Government seeking to isolate the MAGA part of the population via control of information and control of our personal finances via use of the very same Civil Law mechanisms originally put in place to protect the citizens of the US. The Puppet Masters need to gain central control over the the US Population so enable the US Franchise of the Global Corporation.
AFAIK, under “Basel” rules banks aren’t allowed to have crypto on their balance sheets, or per SEC they are both asset and liability so no point to it.
So NATO of course is in on the game along with the European central banks. One currency and one world order. And two classes; haves and have nots. You will own nothing, have no currency, and be happy.
Evil people destroy nations and rule over the ashes. Sun Tzu
Years ago I purchased a blue water sail boat for the express purpose of having Freedom to live as and where I chose and lived in the Caribbean for a while.. I made bad decisions and lost the boat. Later I learned those bad decisions were health related. (sleep deprivation from sleep apnea and thyroid med supplier “improved” the formula) I am now wide awake but am a animal in a trap. Worse yet wife refuses to consider REALLY bad times are on the horizon. Once red pilled one can never go back.
When I was sailing the Caribbean, I had sleep deprivation. Until I got off the damn boat. Or tied up at a marina. All those nights when the hatches had to be closed when it was raining, and opened again when it stopped, all night, offf and on, could drive a sailor to drink if they wasn’t already. (Trying to be gender non-specific with the pronouns nonsense makes singular/plural sound out of whack. What’s it coming to?) 🙂
Sorry to hear about the boat and health. It was a good idea. The Caribbean can be gorgeous. Best wishes.
Thank you!
Pilothouse was a good place to be in weather 😉
Not my particular boat.
Boats and airplanes are a good place to reduce a large fortune into a small fortune. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt.
Me too.
When it comes to this stuff crypto I’m lost. What is the difference between crypto and cbdc? Just who controls it? CBDC and crypto are both useless if the internet was shut down right??? If so shut it down and never bring it back!! Internet could have been a good thing but of course control freaks have to destroy everything!
Cryptocurrency is completely decentralized. The process to create it is complex tech wise and I am not the person to be able to put it in simple terms though the blockchain that it operates on has been described as triple entry accounting. The process has lots of different entities doing a lot of separate actions such that no single entity controls it.
CBDC is a digital currency that would look a lot like a crypto coin and yet be completely different in that a single entity, a government, would create it and control it and regulate it and use it however they decided to use it. They cannot do that with cryptocurrency which is why they despise it. They can only regulate businesses that use cryptocurrency like trading platforms where crypto can be bought and sold. So many of these platforms have simply exited the US – giving credence to the idea that our govt is walling us in rather than keeping “threats” out.
Simply, for any of the artificial platforms, who do you buy it from, and who do you sell it to? Who controls it? Answer those questions before you consider an INVESTMENT in that platform.
it is a casino – just like the stock market.

Have been wondering since 2016 about the antipathy towards Russia, and nothing made sense — until now. Thanks SD!
The daily thread starts out ‘Our Father who art in heaven…’. So what does our Father have to say. Daniel 7:23-25 states there will be a final world kingdom ruled by a totalitarian ruler. Revelation 13:11-18 states there is a one world currency. Digital for sure.

I dunno; they talk funny. The low birth rate may be apparent, but I didn’t note the time. Pretty! Cold.
I have read through the comments here about cryptocurrency. I have not yet seen this concept that follows.
Cryptocurrency depends on the continued function of the electrical grid. If the grid goes down, what has become of your digital currency? Your gold, silver, cash, food, ammo, land, beaver pelts, cowry shells, whatsoever, as well as the vital skills that you possess thanks to God plus your own hard work in developing them, all remain. They all still exist as stores of value whether the grid is up or down.
I optimistically got into bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because I thought it was a way to at last get free of manipulated fiat currency. Then the government came along to control it because they want their own version by which they intend to control our entire lives in their planned technocracy.
Early on, I wrote a letter to one of the promoters of bitcoin saying that the billionaire investors in crypto should set about to build a hardened (to EMP attack or another natural phenomenon like the Carrington event, for which we are overdue) backup to the electrical grid. They could do this by using the fourth generation thorium nuclear reactors. These can be made about the size of a semi truck; a few of them could easily power a medium size city. They are designed in such a way that they can never melt down. In this way, you could have reasonable confidence that the electrical grid would never completely go down.
If they did that, crypto would be backed by something of obvious value. They would have solved the problem of the dependency of crypto on a continuously functioning grid.
Patrick Byrne has said, in support of crypto, that crypto solves the problem of the needed third party in all transactions. For example, if you buy a company’s stock, you need a stock exchange entity to verify and legitimize the transaction. They take a fee. Byrne was saying crypto cuts out the third party. I think that no, crypto uses blockchain technology and parasitizes the electrical grid to execute trades. The transaction fee comes out of the grid. There really is so such thing as a free lunch.
Martin Armstrong has said that bitcoin is not a store of value. Based on his opinion I got out of crypto since I could also see that the government was moving to control it.
I think that people should be free to use whatever they deem as currency.
I think this is all a part of the looming beast system the Bible predicts. The WEF is definitely planning a cyberattack on us. When they bring the system back up, that is when they will try to impose their own CBDC on us.
We must simply refuse to use it ! We have the great power to not submit to them !
My btc is killing it right now. So is my gold. So are my stocks. You need 2 plans. One if it goes to hell and one if it doesnt. Plus the ability to transition seamlessly to a barter economy. Sucks but there it is.
Of the 3 i have the most faith in gold. I think a crash is coming soon. Govt numbers are fake.
This is similar to our plan and priorities.
Roy Sebag’s book; “The Natural Order of Money” is an interesting read. He states precious metals has been money since the beginning of civilization due to its intrinsic value. It is beautiful. It is rare. It is functional. It is both ductile and malleable. It resists entropy. He believes we have violated natural laws that govern our economy. Stating we are in an age of contrived monies and parasitic economies. There have been many astute posts on this thread. We’re pretending if we don’t see some type of reset. We simply can’t sustain this deficit. I think we’ve learned from FDR’s unconstitutional gold grab. (Silver too actually) We’ve learned from prohibition. I’ve stated before we’ve been surfs since the beginning of time. Pharaohs, Kings, now the suited bankers. Unelected bureaucrats run our government and machines control the vote. The righteous thing to do is return to the gold standard. Will it happen? But God.
Indeed!
Being awake isn’t being scared, its being prepared! Its so important to learn your own capabilities, and I know many think they can bug out and flee to the hills. Nope! You should already be living in those hills and practicing self sufficiency. There is no greater feeling than sitting down to dinner knowing you provided it all yourself. Get growing, and get knowing.
Get to know your surroundings using a paper map, and compass. Walk your fence lines and ask what you would do if someone trespassed, and then resolve it etc
Great Post! Thanks. You have it Right!
Great comment. Thank you. Nothing that you can’t use yourself or can sell or trade has “intrinsic value” in a crisis. Precious metals and digital currency are worthless in a crisis.

Correct about the fragile US grid.
Its why they are piling on even bigger guzzlers like EV’s. They want it to collapse, but you can bet the wealthy are on an entirely different electric system
My employer is a very wealthy man. He owns several homes in California. I write out checks to PG&E every month. Granted, his PG&E bills are substantially larger than mine (about $3K vs. $300). Additionally, he has back-up generators (Generac) since California has entered the third world and can no longer supply electricity on a reliable bases.
Apparently he never got the memo about this “entirely different electric system” of which you speak.
The problem with cash is, for every $10 you have in the bank, $9 of it doesn’t really exist. Fiat currency is the work of the devil. We need a gold backed currency
For anyone curious about Bitcoin and the broken financial system, I just read Lyn Alden’s Broken money and she does a great job explaining the history of money and the broken financial system and how Bitcoin fixes it. If you read one book on crypto, this is a good one to choose.
I cant wrap my head around crypto because I grew up before the Internet, and can perceive a future without it. I see it as a capacitor for the Keynesian funny money that people put into it. Also, it can suck up incredible energy to make it, and I can’t use it for anything else like metal. I suppose every currency depends on people to believe it has value, so the people with a controlling stake in Bitcoin need you to believe it too. In my opinion, these crypto currencies and NFTs are just a symptom of how detached we have become from reality due to financial mechanisms that create “wealth”, not actual productivity. I have a friend that bought XRP/Ripple, look what the SEC did to that.
I’d rather own a treadle lathe than a crypto currency. At least I could barter useful things made by the lathe.
Great recommendation Zero. Read it twice and have it on Audible to listen while I work. Last third of book deals with Bitcoin.

Look at which government agencies have working agreements with Russia, and look at how long (if at all) those agreements were suspended during this “war” in Ukraine. A certain 4-letter agency only suspended cooperation long enough to keep up appearances, and I’m reasonably certain US Government travel to Russia is on-going. Two sets of rules…

Unfortunately, NGO, non-central bank cryptocurrencies can never win.
Since governments worldwide have coercive controls over businesses, if those cryptocurrencies ever became a real threat to the current system, they’d simply declare them to be NON-legal tender and prohibit any business from accepting them as payment relegating them to the realm where they are currently most useful: illegal, underground activities.
You know, Tom Clancy laid out the smart play in the Bear and the Dragon. But no, we decided to become a sheep for the Bear and the Dragon to negotiate which parts they are going to eat. We were sold out by such short sighted ridiculous people.

If our enemies tell us crypto is bad, we need to buy as much crypto as possible. I don’t know much about crypto but I will start doing my homework. Thanks for the heads up, Mr. Dimon.
Who would ever think that a “Dumb Sign-Painter like me”, could find an analogy in The Tuttle Family & the Orange County Choppers FAMILY Business that they O/O?
When I was sent to pick-up some used RV’s at Manheim Auctions Yard there in NY State, I passed right by Paul Senior’s place of business. Since I was such a fan of the “antics between Paul Senior & Paul Junior & the youngest son w/ the glasses & the tension this created on the employees”, THIS is why me & probably many others watched this Reality Show on TV. For me, it certainly wasn’t for the Design & Build of the Choppers, although I did pick-up a few tips along the way.
I resisted the urge to stop-in & “poke Paul Senior with a stick” just to see his reaction. I felt that both of us would have gotten a real laugh, from this! Reason was that I knew that there were going to be problems with rust & wiring, as is the case with most used RV’s that us RV Haulers had to contend with.
I finally got to meet Paul Senior in person at a Ford Dealership in Sebring FL, BUT I didn’t have a stick handy! LOL!
Great article Sundance! You have a knack for explaining complicated things, in ways that any average Joe can understand.
I suspected much of this already, but you confirmed most of it for me.

WHY HATE ON AMERICAN BBORN IN AMERICA, LIKE ABE LINCOLN AND ROOSEVELT AND WILSON AND CARTER AND EVEN BILL CLINTON? i UNDERSTAND HATING THEIR MIND, BUT THEIR PERSON? IT’S THE UNAmerican side of me that thinks this too, because although I lived in US since 1978, I DON’T REALLY GET IT. remember, treepers, UCCAL , Berkely invented the nuclear weapon
. Berkeley HAD (HAD) 20 churches and synagogues in the eighties and early nineties. Some yes were cultish (Youtube “Alex fell into a cult at Berkeley”) But gospel message was preached. Sproul Hall had literally hundreds of religious churches, Also AA)
Marketwatch has an opinion piece today on this topic: Fed’s Instant Payments System Gets you Cash Fast. Banks Don’t Want It. Written by a guy on the New York insurance board and another at Brookings.
Discussion about the 70s Feds ACH (automatic clearing house) that is used for direct deposit, social security, online bill pay, etc. being successful because it is cheap. Also why FED NOW (pushed by Chris Van Hollen) is not successful because banks can”t make much money using it. Compares FED NOW to the 2016 Same Day ACH.
One can imagine a current financial system as sort of Gas or Electrical lines infrastructure.
It has Pipes/wires, the Distribution centers, the speculators reselling capacity, the miners (of gas or electricity).
The current system is laced with established channels of bribes, corruption, and ‘promotion’ ladders.
Cryptocurrency boom basically financed a complete ‘parallel’ infrastructure to the above.
Of course, the ‘patriarchs’ and ‘wheeler-dealers’ of the old system does not want the replacement to be successful.
So they will continue pointing to the problems and issues with the newcomer — but in reality the old system has exactly the same problems and issues. Just ‘decorated’ and obfuscated from a public view in a different fashion.

The same is true about the Academic system, the Pharma as well.

I think the rise of these new systems, while having the substantial problems — do create an alternative.
The Alternative shakes up the filth, and importantly allows the general public to see the depth of parasitic infections inside the incumbents.
At that stage, the public has a chance to influence the build out of the new system, leaving the filth fighting to keep the old cast system in place.

We need a HOWTO related to that cell phone and app feature stuff you mentioned elsewhere…
Was reading about the Great Depression banking holiday… it was much longer in regions where banks closed on their own. In most areas, people developed alternative methods of credit an payment… silver and gold, credits, barter. And I believe it is similar in other countries that have experienced hyper inflation.
So the question for me becomes, if it’s too fast for an alternative economy and payment system to flourish, how do we organize and deploy to keep the local economy working?
