I still contend that there are no possible political solutions for anything. When the ruling class has a monopoly on violence using force and coercion, freedom is lost and the ruled serfs are enslaved. Also, when the money is controlled and manipulated (fiat fake unbacked money) using computers and unlimited debt as printing presses and inflation, the oligarchs win.

But the real problem with the unfair advantage is that free-market capitalism becomes crony capitalism, the exact opposite of honest voluntary free markets. And to compound it, when crony "rigged" capitalism destroys honest price discovery, small "c" communism is exactly the same as capitalism. Everyone has heard "Follow the Money Trail" but more than that, "He who controls the money controls the world".

Is there a solution? Yes, it is #Bitcoin. Anyone who is rolling their eyes and laughing doesn't understand Bitcoin. I suggest two books and then let's have a debate. First, "The Bitcoin Standard" (in 34 languages) by Saifedean Ammous. It is the bible of Bitcoin. Secondly is the revolutionary book "The Price of Tomorrow: How Deflation is the Key to an Abundant Future" by Jeff Booth. Although Bitcoin is only mentioned toward the end of the book in a paragraph or so, Booth is the best disciple for Bitcoin today, or at least one of the best. Short take: The system of central banking has broken the money systems worldwide and cannot be fixed. The Fed is now finished. It is only time. If they print more fake money, inflation happens exponentially until hyperinflation debases and destroys the currency. If they stop printing and raise interest rates to stop inflation, the system collapses and unwinds to the ground in a deflationary spiral. So it unwinds to the ground either way. This is where we are today. Two sides to the same coin - system failure by inflation or deflation. Bitcoin defunds communism and capitalism's addiction to grow and debase the money. Bitcoin fixes climate change (which must grow energy use exponentially). Bitcoin is digital energy, unconfiscatable property, uncorruptable software for 1000 years, and is deflationary, meaning redistribution from the top 1% to the masses. Read the books and let's talk. I will reject all doubts and answer all questions. #BitcoinFixesTheBrokenWorld

Mr Greenlee, i have been trying to learn about block chain but have a mental block.

An honest question:

What happens to bitcoin if the power grid or internet are taken down?

If you don’t hold it, you don’t own it. END THE FED.
