How to minimize one's damage in case the usa kicks the bucket?
by Georgi Guninski 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

The financial situation in the usa is quite grave. Assume very severe financial crisis hits the usa relatively soon causing hyperinflation there and possibly in other countries. I am interested: How to minimize one's damage in this situation? Some suspicions: Banks/exchanges are known Ponzi schemes, so how much the banking system will remain intact is unclear to me. Some possibilities real estate outside usa gold (is gold certificate secure enough?) bitcoins (some people got burnt, security of bitcoins not clear to me) ??? Please post political rants in other thread.

Trying to invoke Godwin's law for some threads on this so called list

I assume you mean because of all the anti-semitic remarks, shoah denying, racist remarks and talk of racial cleansing that hasn't been going on? Different opinion=wrong-bad-evil-hate-suspect-accuse I guess there has been *some* intolerance and personal attacks, though....

Re: Nominee officers and directors (was: Why cryptome sold weblogs...)

The IRS mainly determines if you are a contractor, for taxation purposes, by your other gainful activities. If you work solely for one client they usually consider you an employee. I suspect the IRS classification also applies in non-taxation contexts.
