Hey i`m not american but i just heard that your governments wants to nationalize the private pensions and force the penson managers to buy only long term bonds with the capital, what do you think about that?

Is your government getting desperate to sell out more long term bonds to cover the massive debt bubble, what do you think?

If this gets mainstream then it would definitely cause some instability in the USD, and thus hopefully BTC/USD can go up then 

Y'all already enslaved. Cue aldous huxley's perfect dictature.

Just go along with this and teach your kids sum twerk

What I wrote in email today... (hey don't assume you know if I am Christian or not...I may just be speaking from their perspective playing devil's advocate...but you will not know as I might be a Christian...)

Doesn't the Bible say that some old lady escapes the beheading the desert?
I think the Bible mentions about some finding safe harbors?

Where are you riding this out?

I saw a dead pigeon in my lawn today (in the Philippines and I never see dead birds here).
I read a new more deadly strain of
bird flu killed several hundred recently.  Armstrong says pandemic cycle
should peak again 2019 in a global plague.

No one can predict the time, as the Bible says. The history of the world
has been going through repeated cycles that appear much like the End
Times, e.g. 60% of Europe died in the Black Death.

One thing I learned about life thus far, is those who speak in absolutes
are crackpots. I guess there is a time to be proven wrong, but I don't
think absolutism has ever been correct in the recorded history of the
earth, not even in the Biblical great flood. Noah found safe harbor.

Forsaking money and body entirely is one route, maybe the only one to fit
through the narrow gate. Recall the parable of the rich man and easier to
fit a camel though the eye of a needle.

God bless guys.

Thanks for that sentiment. I would probably only do that if I was desperate and even then I'd probably find another way to get some money to survive on while coding. He paid me 5 BTC so they already funded me a bit. He was very upstanding in his interaction with me.

First I don't feel comfortable with taking money from people on a promise of work that has yet to have been done. I know the nature of tech is it morphs along the way. My personality in the past was to deliver, not promise, although this appears to have changed with the advent of the internet to waste my time pontificating on.

Secondly I don't think great software innovation can be purchased with money. Innovation is born in the desire of the creator to change the world. The lure of a great monetary payoff can enhance the lure, but paying in advance is very demotivating (why work hard if already paid?) and it attracts the wrong mindset of developer.

It is always best to not pay a dime and let people create the parts of the ecosystem independently and profit on and control their own projects. This is why it is best to design systems to be modular so that the entire system doesn't have to be controlled and created by one group or entity. This is why I suggested the best design of a programmable block chain is merged mining (find it in U.T.'s archives).

Just putting my ideas out there may help to motivate others to implement.

Why don't you start campaign to collect funds? If jl777 and Vitaly managed to collect funds, I am sure you could get at least enough to sustain yourself and small team for a year.

Btw, all of us were incorrect and Armstrong did not misunderstand that the New Yorker article was humor. Come on guys, all of us failed to read carefully what he wrote. He was also using humor in a facetious tone.

Sorry folks, you just got Goxxed (outsmarted) by Armstrong, haha. Myself included, but only because I was in a rush and didn't scrutinize carefully.

I don't expect what is coming to resemble that.

What is coming is much more subtle slavery. The only way to permanently enslave people is when they don't realize they are enslaved. Those who are awake will feel the world is in some sort of Stepford Wives zombie, deluded blissful state.

yup, going to watch it

Obviously that was an error, and I have observed that Armstrong has made other errors in the past of misconstruing facts such as the shrapnel he claimed was possibly machine gun fire in the downed airplane over Ukraine. That leasing claim at the Capitol seemed bizarre to me and I was in rush.

Two possible causes of this and the second also applies to myself, is becoming too enamored with one's own truth and being too overworked to maintain perfect research on every one of dozens of things one is multitasking on each day.

Note Armstrong has removed the link to the New Yorker article from his blog post. Yet he didn't retract the blog post.

I think I can explain Armstrong's motivation, given I have traded emails with him and argued with him earlier this year. He believes the only hope is to wake up the people to put a stop to the corruption before it can drag us into another Dark Age. Thus he probably views the importance of getting shocking information out there to outweigh any pedantic errors. In other words, he doesn't want to give any reason for readers to doubt the seriousness of the situation we face. This is one of his personality flaws and one of the reasons I don't blindly follow him.

Also I suspect that Armstrong views humor as data, and may have verified historically and statistically that it foreshadows the opinion of the public as to the actual truth behind the curtain.

But Armstrong's overall point is correct, the banksters are taking over for they partially repealed Dodd-Frank and increased the bribes they can give to the political parties from $32,400 to $324,000.

And Armstrong is finally coming to realize my long standing argument with him that there is a globalist plan to control the world with essentially one-world control over the money (whether it first takes the form of regional currencies and regional free trade zones is irrelevant to the point):

Have you noticed with the recent FIBA basketball championships, the advertisements on the TV are "Oceania, Asia, Europe, Americas, etc"? The 10 Kings regions of the Bible are taking form, and powers-that-be are pitching the regions to us via their control over mass media. The games of Rome to keep the people preoccupied (away from the ominous clouds forming) and program their minds.

Unlike Armstrong, I don't believe the masses can ever be saved. Never has that been the case, e.g. in the French Revolution they accomplished in the end totalitarianism under Napoleon. Nature purges the masses such as with the Black Death that killed a majority of Europe's population. I believe the powers-that-be will win control over the mainstream monetary system and they and the masses will decline together in a morass. I hold my hope in the bifurcation of the economy into a dying Industrial Age (which the powers-that-be and masses control) and a fledgling Knowledge Age which is controlled by the hackers and knowledge creators.

I understand Moldbug's "Only One Currency Can Win" which Satoshi also apparently validated.

And I have explained how I think a bifurcated economy could violate Gresham's Law and allow for two monetary units to coexist globally analogous to how national currencies coexist due to a Coasian barrier of individuals not trading directly internationally.

The one unit will be controlled by the banksters and the masses and this will be the 666 slavery system. The other crypto-currency unit will be for those who hold their "unit-of-account" in "units-of-knowledge". You see as a hacker, you don't care about money as a store-of-value, power-law distribution enslavement paradigm. We care about code and the freedom (power) to build (software, 3D printing designs, etc). The models of remuneration employed thus far for "open source" have depended mostly on large corporate funding. This has locked us hackers into the Theory of the Firm rigor mortis paradigm but remember knowledge can't be enslaved nor financed monetarily. Whereas what we really need is direct remuneration via micro payments.

Note the banksters need this alternative monetary unit too. For they need a place to hide their wealth from their own morass, and because if they squelch all knowledge formation, they will destroy their cancer's host and perish. Precious metals are no longer even functional in the competition against knowledge.

Do understand that everyone who is creative and likes to build things is a hacker.

I believe I know what needs to be done in terms of an altcoin. But getting it done may be more than one man could do timely.

Relationships in Washington are getting cozy.

Humorous  but not so far from the truth according to Elizabeth Warren.

Martin Armstong misreports this as fact here

Armstrong was apparently misled by the the New Yorker article. Contagion likley made his error based on reading the erronous armstrong.


I would place this little error by Mr. Armstrong's into the Bayesian pile of data urging caution in regards to Mr. Armstrong's claims.
I imagine that only the very best snake oil salesmen are up to the challenge of selling timeshares to institutions for $5 to $100 million annually.

Note: I am not saying the armstrong is not legit only that caution is warrented.

You do realize the linked New Yorker article is meant to be humorous, don't you?

This ominous clouds are forming on the horizon.
