This quotation attributed to George Soros is interesting:
George Soros: “Currently [bitcoin] is used mostly for tax evasion and the … for the … people in the … the rulers in dictatorships to build a nest egg abroad. Recently, just now, there was a conference where instead of discussing conditions in Russia, they mainly discussed bitcoin because that’s what the rulers were interested in,” Mr Soros said at the forum.
This could indicate one aspect of how central bankers may be losing control over world leaders. Oftentimes bankers have maintained control over dictators by having their money stashed inside a tax haven. You can see it happen with dictators who have been deposed or overthrown. Billions of dollars disappear and no one can find where the money went. Example of this: I think more than $10 billion "disappeared" when Ferdinand Marcos fled the Philiippines.
Bankers operate and manage tax shelters for dictators and hold that money in trust, which could give them political leverage over many world leaders.
If what Soros said is true and world leaders are shifting their attention to bitcoin as a tax shelter, this could give banks less influence over them. It might also mean that dictators who hold their wealth in crypto will refuse to illegalize or pass restrictive regulation over crypto markets & exchanges.
One thing which could lend credibility to this view is Maduro and venezuela issuing its own petrol backed crypto currency. It is possible that Maduro's own wealth is denominated in bitcoin or some alt, which is part of the reason why he's shifting towards a pro crypto stance and investing so much time and effort into it. Wouldn't that be interesting?
