The survival of the F*deral R*serve's juggernaut on the world did not depend on the destruction of email or cell phones. In fact, email/cell phones helped seal the deal.
Check.
If I were a tyrannical government, here's how I would destroy BTC in 6 months:
I would leak the names / addresses of BTC millionaires (there are over 100,000 currently) to...shall we say..."partners". You know, like MS13, for example. Those guys are very effective in the physical world where BTC owners actually exist, despite their claims. Lock-step control...just like right now...and the usual players will look the other way.
All the big tech and media would be in on the take down. Just like Event 201,
the terrifying, Hollywood directed pieces about the gruesome, multi-million dollar BTC "robberies" would be queued and ready to roll 24/7. The "safe, secure and insured" digital alternative would look pretty damned good to the people. BTC will crash. Game over. GAME OVER. It's child's play.
Hell, there really doesn't even have to be any real robberies. With the lockstep control and a little help from Hollywood, they will create this reality at very little cost. Hopefully, they won't insult us with Jan 6 incompetence and get a decent director and actors...like a modern day Stanley Kubrick. ;-) But, they will purposefully insult us with idiocracy again.
Target rich environment:
Portugal slowly becoming a ‘haven’ for European Bitcoiners
It just sounds like the BTC creators failed to think like violent criminals; they only thought like geeks and white collar criminals.
BTC is a direct threat to the F*deral R*serve and its debt-based currency. Therefore, BTC has a big, shiny, very violent target on its back. What do you think our military has been doing since 1971? Protecting the Petro D*llar, of course. Didn't Gaddafi try to create a Gold-backed currency for Africa?
These people don't play games. BTC is on their schedule.
They are corralling people into the BTC pasture. They will eventually slam the gate closed by causing a BTC crash and declaring it "dangerous". Why, look what happened to these greedy men's family members. Only way out of BTC is on their benevolent terms and into their new digital currency cage. People who fail to get out before the crash will lose their asses as punishment for betting against the F*deral R*serve.
After the last 2 years, all aware people should see that the above scenario is at least possible if not probable. The fact that BTC has been embraced by the corporations tells me...without a doubt...
this is a classic pump and dump.
A prudent man would only play with BTC he can afford to lose. And whatever you do, do NOT be a whale or even a shark. Get that target off your family and get that BTC into some real assets.
We are engaged in a 5th generation war between the bankers and the people right now. It's not a gun war. It's bio, psychological and economic warfare.
Only when we win this war can a BTC have a real future. But, practically speaking, we'll have to see who the next prison warden is.
