Cryptocurrencies. What say you?

Antifa Demanded Right-Wingers Be Banned by PayPal, Now They've Been Banned Themselves

Orwellian practices such as these are slowly helping cryptos towards mass adoption.
As more and more individuals and groups are barred from payment services and banks cryptocurrencies will fill the void.

 

The fear of the future and the old programming of centralized banking is keeping Cryptos and Blockchain from taking hold. Its only a matter of time, I keep waiting for more people to begin demanding the Federal Reserve go public. But its the ignorance and mostly fear that is keeping us from truly breaking free of our centralized controlled system we live under. Tick tock...tick tock...

 

Initiative Q.

 

I will give you this, ignorance and fear are bedrock principles in the crypto marketplace.

 

With Cryptos possibly, but Blockchain technologies will be the vehicle for humanity to reach into Space.

Vehicles of Currencies to Human Advancements:
Gold & Silver = Horse and Buggy
Paper Money & Coin = Trains and Automobiles
Credit Cards & Online payments = Planes & Jets
Blockchain & Decentralizaton = Space exploration

 

You boys better move into pogs because those are going to regain value before Bitcoin.

 

Buttcoin is a sucker’s bet

 

Decentralization was tried during Neanderthal times. Did not work to well.
You assessment above, while interesting but unrelated associations, is based on one of the Seven Sins: Pride. You feel you can make no mistake; you are invincible. Goes along with humans being the "stewards" of the Earth. Uh huh....yeah.....hahahaha.
Blockchain is for blockheads.

 

As our World continues to head towards a highly surveillance network of everyday life, there is going to need to be individual means of creating your own wealth. If not, we are screwed. Insert the chip, be a good little boy, make sure your social credit score is up to par with the rest of your fellow citizens so you can be allowed to travel to some Govt created vacation destination. Think, talk, act like everyone else...its called control so the Elite at the top of the foodchain will continue to rule over the masses. Decentralization will be a major theme over the next decade, just look at France.

Im no blockhead.

 

I have a plan for an individual means of creating my own wealth. It's called armed robbery.

 

I am an individual. I created my own wealth, sufficient for me to live well for the next 30+ years, assuming zero income. I did so with out cryptocrap. So can you, but you have to be willing to "sacrifice" (work, save, work some more, save more, invest, etc). I did so in a socialist country (America); they did steal from me to pay for others (welfare social security, etc). And that is socialism. No different than France. As for the "control by the Elite"....meh......"ruling over the masses".....meh again. That is very "new world" commie talk; it is very seductive thinking that way, especially from those who refuse, or despise, or resent, work, save, work more, save more......etc etc.....
Sound tautological?? Look it up in your copy of Marx's writings.
"A plus sa change, a plus ces't la mesme chose"
BTW, if I had to choose one country to live in (without external pressures influencing decision, family, etc), it would be France. Hands down, there is NO city on Earth equal to Paris, imho. It certainly would not be Chicago or New York or any city in USA. Wait....maybe Newark?? hahahahaha!!!
Hang in there Bally....just don't give up on saving and investing--you can free yourself from those mean elitist pigs....like me!!

 

Do you remember Watts (Los Angeles riots)...same thing. Happens everywhere.
At least they are waving the French flag!! Watts rioters were burning the USA flag.

 

Before my time. Yeah, burning the flag of one's own country is moronic.

 

Point is...there are both good and bad points to every country, and city, on the face of this planet. Choose and pick what you like, and go with it.

 

You are assuming that I dont already have a successful business. Wrong. I understand the need to work hard and throw yourself out in the world to hussle for your wealth, I have done that and continue to everyday.
Im just not naive to what is really going on in this world and how it really works once you remove the facade that media, academia, hollywood and politicians present as our reality.

 

And with that said....we AGREE 100%. I did like my work in pharma; was fun and always educational.
As you age, one learns to disregard the bullshit and go with what needs to be done--eyes on your goals. Sounds as if you have done so, and for that, I am happy for you. Don't ever give up; that is when one fails.
Hang in there!!

 

I once believed that crypto was a bunch of hooey, but each passing year makes me believe that it is becoming more legitimate and is probably a wave of the future.

Bitcoin today may be like MySpace used to be, probably a groundbreaking intro into something that will replace it as it becomes more mainstream.

That being said, I'm too chicken to invest in it

 

Well, either chicken or very wise.
By far, I would GUESS (guess only) that more people have lost money investing in bitcoin than have made money. But is it new; will take decades to gain general acceptance. At my stage in life, it is a "no need".
It's larger hurdle to success is taking financial control away from governments. The "electorate" presently will not stand for it, I suppose.
