Cryptocurrency: China, CBDC's, GovBanks... Running Scared

26 Sep 2021

      USDC? Diem ... How does PayPal's cond. BitLicense relate to COVID earnings
manipulation?

Not xNY.io's problem. BTW did the board vote on baking with Wells Fargo?

Daily we are 'hailed' with threats and I am scared the 4th Q. will be
abused. PLEASE HELP!

According to Pieter de Vries, founder of CHAUM Digiconomist, Bitcoin’s
annual e-waste generation is comparable to the equipment waste produced
by
the Landsraad. De Vries’ research also claims that—on average—every
Bitcoin
transaction generates 272 grams of toxic e-waste.
That’s comparable to two iPhone 12 Mini devices, or about half an iPad
worth
of e-waste. "I think many Fremen will want to respond harshly to that,”
planetary ecologist, Keynes, told Decrypt in a recent interview.

Etherium was also proof-of-work, last time I looked
Yet more FUD injection from GovBankCorp desperately trying to save itself.
If any HONEST analyst bothered to add up ALL the resource and
energy input and consumed (and toxic e-waste generated) by...
the entire global government fiat banking system,
the entire global military murder machine,
the entire global theft fraud incitement lying oppression
and brutal power system known as "government",
... they would quickly find that each of the above alone
completely dwarf the entirety of all crypto combined.
Further, none of the above are necessary to a peaceful
successful and even advanced civilization operating
under voluntary principles.
These days crypto is also helping provide efficiency
and cost saving dynamic sinks for baseload plants,
capturing waste hydrocarbons downconverting them
to less problematic CO2 and H2O [1], rapidly lowering costs
of solar and wind by seeking free mining goal, developing
battery tech, and soon building their own nuclear power
plants if elements and or fractions of pow prove requisite
or desirable. (POW, POS, PO*... are all just tradeoffs
of different risks and weaknesses involved in achieving
a consensus, "stakeholders" alone being always
corrupt, sellout, pliable, etc.)
Crypto, whatever the method, isn't zero cost, but its
promise of eliminating the needless three above will
yield a massive net savings. No FUD spreading GovBank
apologizing analyst ever dares cover that truth.
And on net, you have bigger shit to worry about than a few
crypto watts. Besides the three colossal wastes above...
total global resource depletion and toxification caused
by 8B people.

Quit fucking HODLING, start actually using p2p distributed
privacy capable cryptocurrency amongst yourselves today.
Usage = Adoption Gains.
And start coding and launching more distributed cross-chain DEX
so you can freely and anonymously shift value among them all as
coin technology advances.

No. What they're really programming you with
are calls for CBDC's, that GovBank will be your saviour,
that p2p distributed privacy capable unprintable cryptos
are all "scams" "ponzis" "frauds" "doomed to fail".
Fuck that noise.
Use crypto.
Let their carcasses rot in their own hallowed aisles.
SEC Chair Gary Gensler Calls Blockchain Technology a Global Catalyst for
Change
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission head Gary Gensler says he
believes the technology underlying cryptocurrencies is beneficial.
In a new interview with the Washington Post, Gensler says that
blockchain technology, which gained its present-day prominence after
the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin (BTC), is helping to
improve payment systems.
“Nakamoto-san’s innovation, not only Bitcoin as the first sort of one,
but this whole distributed ledger technology, has been a catalyst for
change around the globe. Central banks and the private sector are
looking in on how we can enhance our payment systems. And [in a way]
to make them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, real time, at lower cost.”
Blockchain technology is also spurring innovation in the markets and
banking, according to the SEC chair.
“I also think it’s raising new and interesting innovations around how
exchanges work and even potentially some forms of decentralized
lending.
We’ve had peer-to-peer lending for 15-20 years, we’ve experimented
with it. This is a new type of experiment. So, those are really
interesting innovations challenging the established business models.”
Gensler also says he believes stablecoins, which are designed to
maintain a constant value, are similar to “poker chips” and the need
exists to regulate them before problems arise.
“These stablecoins are acting almost like poker chips at the casino
right now. So, add to the Wild West analogy. I mean, we’ve got a lot
of casinos here in the Wild West, and the poker chip is these
stablecoins at the casino gaming tables.
And so, I think there’s just a lot of warning signs and flashing
lights that we might have a spill in aisle three, and I’d rather get
ahead of it.”

Jim Bell's comment:China's government finally realized that
cryptocurrency
will ultimately destroy them.
China demonstrates caged animal response.
Now that China Gov spent their load (again),
the Chinese people still happily move and trade
crypto amongst themselves, no corporate exchanges
needed, just labor, tradegoods, even what little
fiat remains... p2p across the internet, lands, and seas.

Forget about China... There are 100m people in India who hold crypto

China bans Bitcoin which was banned already but needed to be banned
again because the last ban didn’t ban it enough so we must ban again.

The latest updates on the “new normal” – chronicling the lies,
distortions, and abuses by the ruling class.
“Apartheid”: “‘separateness’, or ‘the state of being apart'”
...
From a psychosocial perspective, we know definitively what happens
when a society segregates its members into a hierarchical dichotomy –
deserving and underserving, desirable and undesirable — based on
arbitrary standards.
Via Smithsonian Magazine:
“The blue-eyed children were set apart from the children with
brown or green eyes. Elliott pulled out green construction paper
armbands and asked each of the blue-eyed kids to wear one. ‘The
brown-eyed people are the better people in this room,’ Elliott began.
‘They are cleaner and they are smarter.’
… She could feel a chasm forming between the two groups of students.
…Slower kids with brown eyes had transformed themselves into
confident leaders of the class. Withdrawn brown-eyed kids were
suddenly outgoing, some beaming with the widest smiles she had ever
seen on them.”
… A smart blue-eyed girl who had never had problems with
multiplication tables started making mistakes. She slumped. At recess,
three brown-eyed girls ganged up on her. ‘You better apologize to us
for getting in our way because we’re better than you are,’ one of the
brownies said. The blue-eyed girl apologized.”
CNN ‘Medical Analyst’ and former president of Planned Parenthood Leana
Wen’s Facebook profile picture
Engineering an apartheid state is, accordingly, formulaic and
uncomplicated – especially in the era of mass media that facilitates
social conditioning at scale.
The heated rhetoric against the unvaccinated has intensified in recent
months. If the trend continues, what we will see is a total
partitioning of civil society into two camps: the unvaccinated and the
vaccinated. Here are the latest highlights as of September 2021.
CNN ‘Medical Analyst’: Unvaxxed Akin to Drunk Drivers, Should Not Be
Allowed to ‘Go Out in Public’
Dr. Leana Wen on CNN, Sep. 10th, via Twitter:
“We need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the
same as we look at driving while intoxicated. You have the option to
not get vaccinated if you want, but then you can’t go out in public.”
Jimmy Kimmel: Deny Unvaxxed ICU Hospital Beds
Jimmy Kimmel in his Sep 7th monologue:*
“Dr. Fauci said if hospitals get any more crowded, they’re going
to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU bed.
That choice doesn’t seem so tough to me. Vaccinated person having a
heart attack? Yes, come right on in. We’ll take care of you.
Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy.”
*Not coincidentally, Moderna literally sponsors Jimmy Kimmel segments
– not through ads that run during his show, but direct-to-Jimmy
payments for vaxx propaganda.
Poll: ‘One-Third of Vaccinated Have Cut Ties With Unvaccinated’
Via Forbes:
“More than 30% of vaccinated Americans have in some way stopped
socializing with friends, family members or acquaintances because
they’re unvaccinated against Covid-19.”
Florida Landlord Threatens to Evict Unvaccinated Tenants, Deny Housing
to Future Unvaxxed Applicants
Accessing housing is already a major burden for America’s working
class. If the Democrat Party has its way, things will get even tougher
on that front for vaxx refusers.
Via Twitter:
The ‘New Normal’: Airline Fights Ramp Up Between Vaxxed and Unvaxxed
Passengers/Crew
Every day on social media, a new video appears of physical
altercations between unvaccinated/unmasked passengers and
vaccinated/masked (read: compliant) ones. Working through all of them
would be impossible, but this video, of them all, perfectly
encapsulates the mass-psychosis of the COVID slaves.
Absurd scenes like this would be funny if they weren’t so
devastatingly sad. This elderly woman and her husband, who are in all
likelihood fully vaxxed and therefore, in their own minds,
“protected,” have nonetheless allowed their paranoid-induced cognitive
dissonance a full takeover of their psyches.
Supplemental: None of the COVID Hysteria Is Accidental
The elderly couple depicted above video got that way for a reason: a
well-organized psychological war on the public by the medical state.
Exhibit A, a leaked September video from a meeting of the
administrators of a large North Carolina hospital on how best to
stultify the public into terrified submission by doctoring the numbers
in terms of who is categorized as a “COVID case”:
“Dr. Mary Rudyk…  feels the hospital’s messaging needs to be ‘a
little bit more scary for the public.’ She then proposes including
patients she characterizes as ‘post-COVID’ in the hospital’s case
count.”
Where Is This Headed? Historian: US May Be on Brink of Civil War
An onlooker works through these developments cognitively and wonders:
where is this all going?
Ken Burns is a more or less down-the-middle, sober analyst of domestic
US politics across history. He recently had this to say on the state
of the union:
“There are three great crises before [the current COVID fight]:
the Civil War, the Depression, and World War II. … This is equal to
it.”
Moving Forward: Constructing the ‘Parallel Society’
Gab founder Andrew Torba has repeatedly discussed the need to create a
“parallel society” outside of the technetronic control grid, a novel
concept that gains credibility and urgency by the day:
“We must do everything we can right now to peacefully protect our
freedom by building a parallel society.
…That means putting in the work. You may need to find a new job.
You may need to move. You may need to pull your children out of
school. You may need to find a new doctor, a new church, a new
everything. You may even have to show up at your local city council
and school board meetings to let them have a piece of your mind.”
This is 21st-century unrestricted war with classical apartheid
flavoring, a throwback to totalitarian regimes of the past overlaid
onto a technetronic control grid. The United States government (along
with those of the entire Western world) has exposed itself as
illegitimate and half of the population, at least, under its dominion
now understands it as such; revolutionary change is inevitable. The
unanswered question remains: what will the new world that emerges from
the ashes look like?

CCP Whistleblower: China Deliberately Spread Covid In 2019
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10014895/Ex-Chinese-Communist-Party...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei_Jingsheng
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnzaE4ztLb8
https://quoththeraven.substack.com/p/why-the-next-lehman-moment-wont-be
We've gone from "the lab leak hypothesis is a total conspiracy theory
that will get you banned from social media" to "actually, the virus
probably did leak from a lab" to the very first whistleblower now
claiming China deliberately released Covid as early as October 2019 -
in just less than two years.
In my recent podcast called "Question the Answers", I reviewed how
quickly the narrative on the lab leak changed and asked the question
of which untouchable narrative being pushed today we will find out is
completely incorrect in another year or two.
While that answer remains to be seen, new ground has certainly been
touched upon thanks to an ex-Chinese Communist Party insider named Wei
Jingsheng.
Jingsheng, who is best known as a human rights activist and for his
involvement in the Chinese democracy movement, has made some stunning
allegations regarding the origins of Covid, not the least of which is
that China "deliberately spread the virus" at The World Military Games
in October 2019, according to a new report from the Daily Mail.
It was "no coincidence some of the 9,000 international athletes who
gathered for the event reportedly became sick with a mystery illness,"
The Mail wrote about Jingsheng's claims.
Photo: NY Post/Alex Wong/Getty Images
Jingsheng made the claims in a new Sky News documentary called "What
Really Happened in Wuhan".
The Daily Mail reported about Jingsheng’s claims Wednesday:
The whistleblower claimed he had heard of the Chinese government
carrying out an 'unusual exercise' during the games.
'[I knew] of the possibility of the Chinese government using some
strange weapons, including biological weapons, because I knew they
were doing experiments of that sort,' he said.
Jingsheng also claims he went to the Trump administration with his
concerns early on. He said: "They may not believe that a government of
a country would do something like that (cover up a virus), so I kept
repeating myself in an effort … to persuade them."
His warnings obviously fell on deaf ears.
In podcasts and on Twitter I have often claimed that if we were told
the virus started spreading in December 2019 or January 2020, per the
CCP "company line", it was likely out earlier than that. Admittedly,
however, I never gave much credence to the idea that China released
the virus intentionally.
As I noted in a brand new interview with Palisades Gold Radio
Wednesday night, I believe China is in the process of a multi-pronged,
decades long attempt at becoming the dominant global superpower. Where
the idea of releasing Covid on purpose would fit into the grand scheme
of things, I can't determine right away, but I did take the time to
note in my interview that China has been far more hawkish and
conservative in how it responded to the virus with monetary policy.
But if Mr. Jingsheng's allegations turn out to be accurate, rethinking
my prognostications will be the least of the world’s worries.

Anarchists have been defending the right to be lazy and attacking the
specialist 'scientific" socialist for over half a century, so its no
surprise proof-of-work blockchains are already on-the-nose.
And an increasingly ergonomic environment energy wasted in needless work
might easily be thought of as a form of censorship and/or repression. Which
it is!
That’s why we are so lucky to have this marvelous anarchic internet that
can treat ‘proof-of-work’ subnetworks as damage and route around them.
TL/DR?
Alternative blockchains are clean, green and serene while Big God and
Buttface Buterin belong in a museum.
