No gold in fort Knox? No auditing done?
Wow….that alone can make a country poorer.
In God gold we trusted?

Well here’s a replacement…. And… something that everyone can hold a piece of… I’ve been watching this crypto market for a couple months…
Trump will make USA crypto capital of the world… ETF machines are going to be implemented everywhere globally via Ripple (XRP) which will boom via crypto currency.
It is the new monetary way of the future no matter what we like or don’t like.
I like cash but where will that be by 2030?

USA may not have gold as security… but are advised to buy 20% into Bitcoin before another country does.

Gold disappears. Money disappears… but with cryptocurrency…. Will we know exactly where it is? Isn’t that the idea… it can be tracked? Therefore maybe no more fraud/embezzlement of disappearing funds?
Very interesting.

Currently crypto is exponentially the easiest way to facilitate embezzlement and fraud...

Crypto allows for massive amounts of value to be instantly magicked out of nowhere and be transferred immediately to anywhere in the world, to be converted via laundering to more traditional stores of value, without necessarily identifying its owners.

Yep... the expectation of instant gratification has poisoned the West.

Magicking value out of nowhere creates the delusion of true value, in the way a mirage in the desert does.

Those who commit whatever value they have to chasing that delusion are destined to lose everything over time...

To paraphrase Klaus Schwab: they will own nothing and be destitute.

Back to cryptocurrency…. I want to learn as much as I can about it… so as not to be idiotic about it.
I’ve learnt much about real estate, pokies…but now it’s crypto.

Despite all the setbacks it may have… I’m learning about it… with all the whales and rug pulls and fraud coins … I’m learning … I’ve seen one that hurt a lot of folk… Pepe Wall Street pre sales  … I read how some put in tens of thousands! There was an extravagant sales pitch and hype about it everywhere!
Pie in the sky.

I’m sticking to older well known coins I mentioned earlier.
Crypto currency is going to take over our current currency. What can we do?
Can’t beat it… so best to join it… warts ‘n all.
I’m just trying to keep an open mind about it.

Murray said the Trump administration would be seeking to get rid of the Department of Education, as it would also like to dissolve the "rotten" USAID organisation.

"In New York State, where I spend much of my time, an average spend at a state school is now per pupil around $35 ,000 a year. For that sum, K -12 students finish with only just about half of them with basic literacy and half with basic numeracy. So nobody can tell us that money is the problem. Money is not the problem," he said.


"You could keep throwing money at this problem and you can still create more and more illiterates."

Murray then arrived at his central argument and urged the west to take the risks America had in recent weeks. The bestselling author and political commentator said the main disparity between America and Europe was the "attitude towards risk", but the similarity was that there had been a descent into complacency and a "sort of welfarism".

"We've wasted so much time in recent years," Murray said.

"I would urge in the age of reconstruction that our great task is not just to break through with innovation, but to reclaim what is ours, to say that we love it and that if people wish to join us in the veneration of this civilisation, they are very, very willing to do so. If they don't wish to join us, there are other places they can be."
