The governments around the world are all heavily debt laden. They used housing bubble to save the IT bubble from crashing, now when housing bubble crashed, they need another bubble that is magnitudes higher than previous housing bubble (e.g. at least one million dollars investment/consumption from every person) to restart the economy, and the best choice is bitcoin, since it has the ability to grow to whatever size when needed
The first government who mass invest in bitcoin will first get their economy back on track, because the extremely high return of bitcoin investment would help them to get rid of their debt quickly
http://sterlingdesktops.com/Stocks/obama-national-debt-thumb.jpgI agree with the fact that some major institutions will benefit greatly from using bitcoin, it might not necessarily be a government anytime soon, but some major institutions will/is adopting it. We need to find and encourage those institutions with what little power and influence we have.
We need to create allies to stand up to the banks with us. We need to be able to surround the Basel based cartels with counter-levers.
We will need some legal or at least wink-wink nudge-nudge jurisdictions where we can convert into other forms of liquidity, whether gold or IMF money.
I personally think that bankers and those regulators in China and India (especially China) are already buying big into bitcoin for themselves personally. Watching trading closely with the BTCChina.com price movement, and knowing Chinese culture, where corruption and well positioned networks taking care of theselves isn't really considered corrupt like we in the West do, I think there is little doubt that the very Government officials who banned deposits onto the exchanges are themselves getting Yuan on the exchanges. Even if they aren't getting their own deposits on right now, the Chinese population assumes that's what's happening. It's just the accepted way their economy and culture works, it's considered normal.
I think we will have to consider diversions and distractions as key in our maneuvering. We will have to show the Basel, London, New York cartel “one main initiative” while actually going after multiple lesser initiatives more quitely. Remember, many within the cartels and governments know just how messed up it all is even more than we do, and are probably hedging their wealth just like we do. So it's not that the beast is totally committed against Bitcoin. Officially as an institution they may be, but as component individuals in those institutions they are not, so we already have our “double agents within the enemy. “
China is a great example, right now as the world's 2nd largest economy they have practically no power in the IMF and global banking/printing regime. They have no derivatives market power from the Yuan, they have no international repo market power. This is why they are buying shit tons of gold and have printed $15 Trillion in the last 5 years (there really is shit tons of money to get out of China). They are getting ready to assert themselves by playing unfairly. They are waiting for the natural cracks in the Western alliances to form, then China will say, oh look, we have real money, gold and real copper, and real, etc., etc. They already have the influence all over Africa and Asia to the point of boxing out all Western corporations from getting any major new (mostly engineering) contracts.
Why wouldn't it be in China's interests for example to get a contract with Friedcat and right now on the exchanges be buying Bitcoin , and then back 2 million BTC with gold as a part of asserting themselves into the new global reserve system (whether or not that new system is the reworked Special Drawing Rights regime when the IMF gets reshuffled).
Many states have been screwed by the Anglo-American-Basel power triangle, why wouldn't they give Bitcoin a home and thus let more bitcoin flow to them? The central bank of Malaysia is cuttting edge and has been diversifying into very innovative baskets of reserves for a long time, why wouldn't they buy bitcoin and give it a home?
We just need to provide a few side doors for the powerful who are inside the Anglo-American-Basel triangle to feel secure in the liquidity of their own personal Bitcoin reserves. And then we secure Bitcoin's double-agents in the halls of Basel, the Square-Mile of London, on Wall Street and in Washington.
We should probably set up a fund for legal and political economic lobbying and alliance building. Just laying down when finally libertarians have a real chip on the grand poker table of world affairs would be to act like the slaves they try to make us think we must be. ... When it's time to go all in! Show some f*ck*ng balls my fellow libertarians! Do not just bow down because they dangle power over you like it's naturally theirs in the physical order of the universe. It is mostly in all our minds, it is phenomenological 'power' first! They have pieces on the board of the chess match of perception and belief, but so do we (and most of all, let them play chess while we play Go). Their fiat is weak, everyone knows it. We must see their strengths and weaknesses but also our strengths and weaknesses... And play to win!
