You've got to hand it to them, it's a diabolically brilliant plan! Steer the masses away from cash by making the fiat currency worthless through excessive issuance of debt and issuing currency to service that debt. Then entice the suckers to buy a digital currency that they've overbought with their fiat monopoly money to inflate its value. When a large enough percentage of the human livestock have invested in the digital corral they can either crash the cryptocurrency or impose a social credit system to separate the political dissidents from their cryptos. Gold and silver are the only honest money that's ever existed. I wish I could find a community somewhere on this planet that uses them for transactions on a daily basis.

Well Jim, of all the stock market crash theories out there your diabolical plan idea is the best theory I have heard in the past few years. By the way there is a community that uses gold and silver but it isn't on this side of heaven. Stay strong and GOD bless.

Well Jim, with all the crazy stock market crash theories, I think your thoughts on the diabolical plans is the most sane theory I have read about in the past few years. By the way, there is a community that only uses gold and silver but it isn't on this side of heaven.

It is insane indeed.

And if people were against cashless society before, they just let them find a way to make money from bitcoin and voila - now people love cashless coins...

How insane!

For sure... BTC is going to easily 10x from here... and I think it actually has the potential to go WAY higher... I heard this elsewhere, but it makes a LOT of sense "If fiat has no bottom, crypto has no top"

Ok so Bitcoin goes to a million dollars and it takes $10,000 for a cup of coffee. Have we gained anything? Anything up in dollars and buying power down is a no win scenario in my simple mind.

But at least you’d have the money for the coffee… and maybe metals still still be on sale 🤷🏻‍♂️

Greg, you are right & love it or hate it crypto is called an asset like real estate. Most of us get that!

The real story is of course, Banks & Politicians can't print & spend anything mire ever than 21 million BTC!

You left out the tens of thousands of alt-coins watering down that 21 million.

Mr. Greg, Why would a "western nation" add BTC to strategic reserves and then use Gold to buy it? The answer is very simple -- there is NO GOLD in the strategic reserves, it must be replaced with something. FIAT will be printed to buy the BTC, while the people will be told the Gold has been sold. Has there ever been an independent audit of US Gold reserves since '73? The Gold has been stolen. There has not been Gold in Fort Knox since James Bond squared off against Goldfinger's fat henchman with the Frisbee hat.

I would do it. It is logical that if there are reserves of dollars, rubles, yuan, gold, bonds, etc. Why not crypto?

I believe Trump will use it to help prepare for the new US Dollar. It will only take a year or 2. If Bitcoin can reach for the stars, that is one great option to pay down the debt, and then help initiate a brand new Greenback backed by Gold. I know you hear him say he is pro crypto. But he wants to bankrupt the Fed and the eliminate the corporation known as the US (1791), and bring it back to the Constitution.

650 plane loads alone were returned from just the UK in June 2018. I don't know how much from the Philippines, and the Vatican. The lying media made a big deal about Trump supposedly walking in front of the queen, instead of him there to pick up the gold and inform the queen of his plan to dissolve the US Corporation. The US was made a corporation in 1791. One of his plans is to bankrupt the corporation, which mainly includes the Fed Reserve. All of our unconstitutional taxes will finally end. and feeding the Fed. You may also be interested, there's also a lawsuit accepted by the SCOTUS under an emergency order under Rule 11. You can search under Loy Brunson and be able to follow the status. Its real. Trump is for real. Just pray he stays safe, and our lives will be ours again, while a lot of people will be in jail for real. If you didn't realize it, the FED is no more Fed than FedEx. Its a private corporation, and not part of the Gov at all

How can you bankrupt the Fed?

Do you mind explain. Is there a limit how much they can press? What I have heard they aren't running out of numbers...

What I have heard people in fed have a saying "no matter what the debt is, there is always another zero to add"

Yes I saw that interview. Not sure why, but something about that guy didn't sit right with me. He could have been telling the truth but look back at the video and when Tucker asked him about the theory of CIA having created BTC, the entire time he was answering, he was looking down or closing his eyes.

I don't doubt the premise of the title though, of course, they are already doing it, that would just allow the ultimate control to the next level if the had an equivalent of a cbdc.

Someone on YT did a great video about the history of BTC how it's a Trojan horse, wasn't the first crypto etc, don't recall the name as not someone I follow.

Of course more nations will adopt bitcoin as a strategic reserve and others as a currency. Just look at what has happened to El Salvador. If I were a struggling nation with very high inflation and a fiat currency that has been destroyed, I would adopt Bitcoin immediately. If the U.S. government was smart (😂😂😂) they would print billions of dollars to buy the bitcoin, rather than discussing selling gold to buy it. A dying fiat currency is a much more financially prudent way to buy bitcoin…..👍🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
