Gold IS money. That statement cuts through the false dichotomy you have constructed

Geek-the-Mage 1 point ago +1 / -0

Gold is money because it's rare and can't be counterfeited. Now apply that to any modern currency and see if it holds up.

You miss the point when you say gold has no uses. Gold's utility is in its qualities that make it a good form of money. The global digital age reduces that somewhat, hence the discussion of digital gold.

Perhaps you can answer me this: if gold's only value is because it is worth money then why do central banks like the Federal Reserve hold large quantities of it on their balance sheets? They have the ability to create an infinite supply of currency, so by your reasoning they shouldn't value gold.

Fascinating. I like your new system of breaking down each point with its own letter identifier. It makes your logic easier to understand.

I agree with your assertion that the label they use is a shield against reprisal for their actions.

I haven't seen you talk about spell-craft before. Is spell-craft a kind of mind control?

It seems like people would handle it like always: condoms while dating then a test of some kind prior to signing a marriage contract.

The "bitcoin machine" is something almost everyone already has - a smartphone. You scan a QR code posted at the register and send an amount agreed upon by the shop owner and customer. Failing that, you could use a cold wallet to authorize a transaction on the shop-owner's phone or computer. Bitcoin or any altcoin works the same way. I guess I just don't see this as a technological hurdle like you do.

Yeah, I agree with all of that... but for most people it's not reasonable to expect them to do things the old way and be self-sufficient. It's a way of life most people have moved away from, so these people need a common token of exchange. In a worst-case scenario these people probably won't have the resources to make it and you're right, bitcoin or gold wouldn't save them.

But what about a less severe scenario, like a slow descent into fiat currency endgame (which I find more likely than complete and sudden collapse), where people have time to adapt and make decisions to protect themselves. People would still be producing things, still go to work and earn a paycheck, but everyone is looking for a way to protect themselves from devaluation. They would naturally have to consider a competing currency, like crypto.

I can see the point you're trying to make, but I'm not persuaded by the argument that everything needs to have secondary utility to be valuable. The food I eat is only valuable for one thing and then it becomes worthless after I'm finished consuming it (don't even try to make a point about humanure, haha!). I also don't buy the argument that bitcoin can be shut down like a game server because it's not centralized or controlled by anyone - if one server is shut down, another one can be started up anywhere in the world.

Its value would be destroyed if the encryption scheme is broken, but that's easier said than done. I guess I just see huge value in a means of exchange that is outside of government control, that anyone in the world can access with little expense, that does not require me to trust the people involved in the transaction and can't be counterfeited. It's a better form of money than we currently use... though there is still a ton of uncertainty surrounding crypto so I don't blame anyone for doubting it at this stage. Most of the people involved right now are mostly speculating in it, giving it bad impression for people who are risk-averse. It's not stable enough to be used as a day-to-day currency, yet.

I would say that value is in having a secure and independent worldwide network for exchanging tokens that requires no 3rd-party trust. That is, bitcoin's value is in the utility of network and the technology itself. To say it has "no value" has never been a good argument. As the network becomes more decentralized its value goes up. As more farmers accept bitcoin as an alternative to government controlled currencies, its value goes up. Presumably, those farmers would have to have a reason to make the switch and that is becoming more likely every year.

Sorry I seem to have struck a nerve on your favored topics there. Starting a discussion now would just go further off topic on the thread so I'll just let you ponder your inappropriate response to me.

I've seen people make similar statements about this forum. There are useful conspiracy theories and there are irrelevant ones (by my standards anyway). The flat earth and moon hoax stuff are just distractions, even if they are true it won't change anything. We have in-your-face totalitarian conspiracies worldwide right now that affect our daily lives so I'm a bit more interested in that sort of discussion.

I think it's something some malthusian elite are in favor of. Some of the insane may even try to make it happen. I do not believe they could craft a a plan, as suggested by the graphic, that would survive the chaos of billions of dead.

It seems like the fantasy someone would write who wants maximum vindication of their beliefs.

Billions dead? There is no way an elite cabal could foresee the outcome of such a plan. The elite want to hold on to their influence and I do not believe collapsing all the governments is how they would want to accomplish that.

It seems like testing different non-human items would be one way to conduct the experiment to demonstrate false positives are possible. A more conclusive test would be to line up all the tests and sample them from the same source (human or non-human material), the tests would all have to agree in order to be considered accurate... though if all tests reported negative the experiment wouldn't prove anything.

The Roller Coaster of DOOM killed 24 million jews? There's no way this is a real article! That's more than all the Russians who died in WW2 from all causes.

It's interesting. I've been living on the internet since the 1990's and it has changed a lot. I really miss the old internet - it seemed full of fascinating websites created by individuals. I remember typing things into a search engine (Webcrawler) and exploring just to see what I could find.

Now I go to a few of the sames sites every day and I never explore just for fun. Practically none of the sites I find in search engines are worth visiting ever again. It's all garbage. It may not feel empty, per se, just devoid of any real value. It feels like the search engines keep us from finding anything good - or that content has all dried up.

They do it because they have a different world view than us and it's incomprehensible because we, trying to understand them, see their actions through our own biases. I'm not defending them, just offering an explanation for why it seems these monsters are capable of committing crimes against us all while thinking themselves saviors of humanity.

Goddamn potato-cam. I thought we were past the days of blurry video like this. I share the skepticism others have already posted. Some of my observations:

He doesn't appear to be afraid or ashamed of being called out like that. He keeps turning around and responding to the megaphone lady. The way he raises his arms seems to imply a challenge like "Yeah, what are you going to do about it?" but we can't hear what he's saying so it could just as easily be him saying "What! Are you crazy, woman?!"

I just signed up and tried a search for "mass formation psychosis" Google has been getting some heat for manipulating search results after the Joe Rogan show with Dr. Robert Malone, so I decided to try running the search in all three search engines and I've posted the results below.

Top 5 Search Results on Google
-A leftist hit piece from Forbes critical of the antivaxxer Robert Malone.
-A stub article on mass psychosis as it relates to investing on SWFI.
-A "featured article" spot with enhanced visibility referring back to the Forbes article.
-A 2 minute video clip on Youtube someone posted of the Malone interview.
-An opinion piece from the Clarke County newspaper in Washington.

Top 5 Search Results on Kagi
-A leftist hit piece from Forbes critical of the antivaxxer Robert Malone.
-A link to "Mass Psychogenic Illness" on Wikipedia
-An opinion piece from the Clarke County newspaper in Washington.
-A news box featuring three links with enhanced visibility to the Forbes article, a Zinder article talking about Google's censorship, and RealClearPolitics article about the viral interview on Joe Rogan's show.
-A link to Robert Malone's substack and Linkedin social media

Top 5 Search Results on DDG
-A link to Robert Malone's substack social media.
-A news box featuring three links with enhanced visibility to the Forbes article, a Zinder article talking about Google's censorship, and RealClearPolitics article about the viral interview on Joe Rogan's show.
-A stub article on mass psychosis as it relates to investing on SWFI.
-A leftist hit piece from Forbes critical of the antivaxxer Robert Malone.
-A video box with several clips of the Malone interview.

Seems like they are all very similar with results, at least for this experiment. Google and Kagi both put the leftist hitpiece as the #1 result.

Interest rates rise. Cryptocurrency declines in value as money is moved to safer investments like government bonds. A good buying opportunity for those who missed the last cycle.
