Topic: Economic Totalitarianism (Read 345711 times)
In my eyes, coins are less difficult to cover than BTC and crypto. one is undeclared and now not honestly traceable while used for getting items. crypto, on the other hand, can go away all sorts of trails of you occur to drop a cope with of yours somewhere. that being said, should you manage to shop for it anonymously and preserve it in the bloodless garage then you can have a risk of the usage of it without having to declare.
From feb months thats very hard to bitcoin to reach again +10k value again, price is reduced to very low value now, I think we should hold
Personally I'm not surprised about this at all, countries want to know everything that their people are doing and they want to have as much information as possible, even though it is not really worth it and the information is useless for a majority of countries.
They always want to know where your money has gone and to who and where everything moves, and this means that they can stop or go after anyone that doesn't fit their worldview or what they want you to do. It really is economic totalitarianism.

And unfortunately that trend is continuing, if not accelerating. Privacy is hard to achieve now.

If your health is preventing you from completing your work and reaping the rewards, and it would enable you to take care of your health while someone sincere and capable develops your project I don't think that would be a bad idea.
It would also depend if you think their offer is fair compensation for the time you have spent on it over the past few years.
It would also be a disappointing to see the project bought out, abandoned, and sabotaged if they are dishonest, and you are prevented from taking over again.

...Philosophy of morality (and just morality on your own, or philosophy by yourself) are large matters. Â Re downloading songs illegally, well, when I want to listen to songs, I both change the radio on, put on a CD or go to Youtube. Â I never down load tunes, but that's just me.Would be listening to songs on Youtube depend as immoral? Â Not heading there. Â Example: does unlawful downloading "struggle the male"? Â Arguing philosophy is above my paygrade. Â A deep, deep set of rabbit holes. Â I have bigger fish I am attempting to fry: defending my worthwhile property in the perilous instances to occur.
...OK, but Einstein was, nicely, Einstein. I am just attempting to protect my small behunky in the violent times in the future, and to try and carry what is possible over time for the children's advantage (or grandchild's). InchGrandchildren, the genetic payback." (author unfamiliar)Those nasty looking integrals produce the willies...

I think should you commit better you've got a little capital in investing for me just pointless.
...generalize, login name, TPTBWhen the topic get so O/Capital t and is full of obscure words that only philosophy majors know, I just allow my eye to cloud over while reading them, and allow my thoughts float.Sort of an inexpensive way to get just a little relaxation around here.
...Philosophy of morality (and merely morality on your own, or viewpoint on your own) are huge topics. Re installing music illegally, well, when I wish to listen to songs, I possibly change the radio on, placed on a Compact disc or go to Youtube. I don't obtain music, but that is just me.Would be listening to songs on Youtube count as immoral? Not heading there. Example: does illegal installing Inchbattle the man"? Arguing viewpoint is over my paygrade. A heavy, heavy group of rabbit holes. I have larger fish I am attempting to cook: protecting my worthwhile property in the perilous times in the future.

Â Arguing philosophy is earlier mentioned my paygrade. Â A deep, deep established of rabbit holes. Â I have even bigger fish I am attempting to fry: protecting my worthwhile assets in the perilous moments to occur.
I started this thread with exactly the same thinking: protect my assets. Not to steal music or other's intellectual property, etc.
I try to stay away from morality arguments, as I am quite imperfect.

He is a member of the Liberal Party and says he is there to pursue “radical reforms,” which include throwing out the national curriculum in schools, for they are indeed pointless, and reimposing a debt ceiling. He also wants to get rid of the “official” talking points used by politicians and embrace what he calls respect for the voters’ intelligence by speaking plainly.

"Final Results" from my Peru trip:
Each of the above are Peruvian "Una Libra" coins, their clone of the British Sovereign, minted on-and-off from 1898 - 1969. They contain 0.235 toz AGW.
Along with Bitcoin, a fine defense against Economic Totalitarianism!

I prefer cash that is easier to store than btc and crypto, which one of them will not be announced, and even then can be tracked when used for goods transactions.
Cash is good, I say it as a numismatist and a bonist 
. But we should not forget about crypto-currencies, in 5-10 years they should take a special place in payments I prefer cash that is easier to store than btc and crypto, which one of them will not be announced, and even then can be tracked when used for goods transactions.
There is no doubt that CA$H is one of the best defenses against Economic Totalitarianism. But it is getting harder to use in trying to protect financial privacy. It is problematic now to buy airline tickets with cash, or cars, or anything else of high value. Just try withdrawing $20,000 in cash from a bank, and watch the fun...
We are now seeing Harvard economists like Ken Roggoff (sp?) dump on cash -- he wrote a book on the curse of cash recently.
One problem in maintaining anonymity of BTC are the "entrance and exit ramps". It is often hard to get BTC anonymously (the BTMs want ID, etc.). And if you buy anything with BTC (gold from providentmetals for example), they have your address (for shipping it), which means the government (or hackers) could get that info too.
