    They do this because they know they're effectively above the law. Not only do they rule America, they rule most of the world. Not only did Obama not prosecute the banks for crashing the economy in 2008, he made them bigger and helped them kick 5 million people out of their homes. Then he cashed in by giving $500k speeches to Wall Street. This is why you can't have capitalist democracy.

    banks are too big to fail, that is why Bush bailed them out

    banks get their money at near zero percent interest and loan it to us

    they gamble the profits and when their gambles lose, they charge the tax payers

    It would take an international effort to go after the web of banks colluding with criminals, terrorists, what have you.

    But the most important first step in the process is that the damaging truth has come to light. And we are learning more of the truth all the time as the investigations continue.

    Personally I find the facts to be scary. I really hope that the truth will set us free from the shadow of this high corruption system we find ourselves in.

    Bitcoin is the answer... Bitcoin is decentralised, the banks don't control it.

    The central banking debt/interest pyramid is but one of several methods world inequality is created.

    The corruption of politicians & governments, money laundering of public funds into safe haven bank accounts ALSO controlled by the bankers another. (The 2018 world inequality report pointed to the theft of public funds as one of the main reasons for world inequality.) The number of countries overthrown for democracy, then corrupted in the last 30 years contributed greatly to this theft....we know this to be trillions of dollars that could have been used to help people during our current crises.. funnelled through the world banking system.

    The third main method these banks steal our money is via Superannuation funds, they invest it where it benefits them and draw excessive fees from hard earned money, meant to support people during their most vulnerable years.

    If you think the world is becoming more aware of this grand scale theft you should think again... in Australia the government is loosening credit restrictions so more vulnerable people can accumulate debt, if only they realise they are paving their way to doom... once the debt become unsustainable the media starts printing "stolen generation" propaganda, and the foundation for civil war will be laid piece by piece. Unsustainable debt, civil war... no questions asked when there are chaos....we are seeing it in America now (as well as South Africa...and many other countries). if Biden/Trump wins it matters not...both sides will likely start a conflict... perfect chaos created by the bankers.

    The truth will always set you free, but knowledge of the truth will not change the corruption of powerful men.

    banks are the storefronts for the financial sector which are the storefront for fiat currency. The big picture problem is that that currency is debt-backed and largely unbounded. We may end up back in a barter system before too much longer.

    Bitcoin is a threat to the bankers, they will smear it and try to ban it in favour of their own digital token, they will not easily relinquish control of the money supply.

    "First, Bitcoin has a limited number of “coins” that amounts to 21 million BTCs when all the coins are mined by the year 2140. It’s likely that way before then, Bitcoin mining will not be profitable due to the high energy cost and expensive hardware needed for mining. The Bitcoin transaction fees will not be sufficient to keep the network going either. There are many theories in terms what might happen when mining stops, but the likely scenario could be that Bitcoin will not have the computing power needed to assure transactions, grinding the network to a halt. The question then, is, what will happen to the value of Bitcoin?

    But with the fluctuating price of Bitcoin, it is very hard to buy a cup of coffee or an album online. It is also impractical given the delay required to complete time-sensitive transactions. In fact, since Bitcoin’s astronomical rise in December 2017, the number of Bitcoin transactions has dramatically plunged. It seems that Bitcoin will likely cease to have meaningful value, defeating the whole point and philosophy imagined by Satoshi Nakamoto, the alleged inventor of Bitcoin. Its current value appears to be purely psychological, and the hype seems to be driven by irrational exuberance, greed and speculation."

    :lol: you realise the 21 million limit only makes Bitcoin scarcer... and more valuable. i'm not going to spend time on your post because it's a load of crap.

    Adoption for Bitcoin is coming thick and fast, the CEO for Microstrategy moved 250 million US$ into bitcoin last year and more this year... I think their Bitcoin holdings are now somewhere near 430 million, he compared holding US$ to sitting on a melting ice cube.

    In addition to this Kraken (a crypto exchange) recently became recognised as the first crypto bank by one of the states in the US, think it was Wyoming.

    It is already too late to ban, more companies are considering keeping their cash in Bitcoin, and there are investment products like Grayscale popping up now, a FINRA-approved investment vehicle that has bitcoin assets under management.

    look.. they estimate your ice cube is going to melt up to 35% next year, :lol:

    Why the US dollar is only going to fall faster and harder
    • Given the unprecedented erosion of domestic savings, an explosive current account deficit, and the Fed determined to keep rates flat, expect the dollar to plunge by as much as 35 per cent next year

    Because there is no corruption in cryptocurrency? The source of the problem isn't the infrastructure or technology, it's the human beings.

    I believe it is, but if you want an argument for Bitcoin here is the best one of the lot.

    Central bankers are printing the US$ into worthlessness, they are doing it so they can bring in their own Digital Currency. A digital currency issued by the central banks are essentially M0 money, this gives central bankers a lot of power over us, since it eliminate the need for commercial and smaller banks. it means that all your wealth is controlled by the central bank ONLY and this becomes the "central point of truth" for your financial existence. This means they can essentially just push delete and erase you from the economy. And that makes Bitcoin absolutely essential.

    My reply above also applies to your post but I will add to it.

    Cryptocurrency market today is as big as the internet in 1995, it is still basically the wild west there's a lot of room for growth. I would suggest two basic rules for anyone wanting to buy bitcoin.

    Storing your Bitcoin/crypto on a hot wallet, (in the cloud) - always use two step verification and check if the platform have insurance for in case they get hacked.
    Storing your Bitcoin/crypto on a cold wallet (a device) - ONLY set up your cold wallet (device) on a computer with a newly installed OS (Operating system) because your computer could be hacked (without or in my case with my knowledge - I have that many hackers on my system I could throw a party) and the moment you set up a cold wallet they will have your password.

    That supports my point. You presented Bitcoin as the answer to fraud and corruption within the banking sector but you've just explained that cryptocurrency is just as vulnerable to fraud and corruption, just in some different ways. While it is less centralised, there are still people with power and control (even if that's just the power of more knowledge) and plenty of them are using that power to engage in criminality. You're also ignoring the fact that the anonymity and lack of traceability of cryptocurrency is being actively used to support a wide range of criminal activity exactly because of efforts to catch them within the conventional financial system.

    I'm not saying cryptocurrency is fundamentally bad but it isn't the magical answer to any problems, it just changes what some of the problems are.

    Anything valuable is vulnerable to fraud.... go trade with a packet of lollies if you want to stop fraud. There is NO ONE more corrupt than the banks.... I will remind you, you are posting IN a thread about Trillions laundered through the banks... money stollen from all of us and our children and their childrens children.

    Crypto is NOT less centralised.... it is DE-centralised, it is a threat to the corrupt banking system... I choose not to be a part of the corrupt banking system.... you are free to make your choice

    What is interesting is how silent the left are on these corrupt banks, in fact they even insist on propping them up so they can continue their grand scale theft.... probably because they are being funded by the same corrupt people behind these banks

    why should ordinary people, lose their homes and be in debt up to their necks to these corrupt institutions... when this level and scale of corruption is allowed

    In countries where currencies are collapsing, US$ to pay for imports are not always available and often available from illegal dealers at a premium.... Bitcoin offers these countries with an easy alternative.

    The history of this over the past three centuries even in America is intriguing indeed...... but there is a positive side to all of this although it can get you discouraged and angry.



    https://www.michaeljournal.org/arti...story-of-banking-control-in-the-united-states



    The positive side to my thinking is that we are set up for:



    The Worgl Austria Great Depression Experiment and a real estate boom in rural America?


    "There will be a sudden rush to buy farms, ranches, and homes in the country.

    Thousands will attempt to flee from cities, hoping that a return to the land and

    nature will provide security. There will be a growing urge to "get away from it

    all"---and much money will be invested in land and acreage in rural areas by

    people who have secret dreams of raising their own food and cattle and of

    becoming self-supporting. The price of open rural land will continue to soar.

    Acreage within 100 miles of most major cities will skyrocket out of reach to

    all but syndicates." (David Wilkerson, The Vision, page 18,19).







    I first read this prediction back nearly twenty years ago and at that time I could never have imagined people leaving the cities in serious numbers due to a COVID 19 pandemic!

    You've got me wondering if perhaps BitCoin could have a greater impact in 2020 to 2040 than local currencies did during the Great Depression?
