What I fear is eventually the powers that be will figure out that possibly their very best chance against Bitcoin is not a CDBC, but rather Ethereum.
That is def. possible.
In my view Meth is the perfect tool for TPTB to easily stay in control, essentially forever. (I recently mentioned how i see POS as an adequate base structure for that)
Meth also offers that great Hollywood trash story, in order to lure in the masses:
"The futuristic super-network
tm that could only be invented by an alien-like savant genius kid" (...who unfortunately appears quite emotionally retarded and seems to be an easy job for any professional handler..)
And don't forget:
The Network will be Greta-green, because its security isn't backed by the value of energy and stupid thermodynamics. (...Why in the hell would you need that....? Let's apply the magic of circular reasoning and let the tokens secure themselves, and of course, let's pay the main holders along the way. ...seems even worse than cRipple
)
It is my hope that TPTB waste another 10 years trying to push their CDBC experiment.
5 years at least, I think. (if you mean CBDC)
Combined with some Chinese-like social credit system and digital personal identities & wallets, it could work.
But who knows what the future will bring.
Could even be that the US 'deep state' invented BTC as an energy based monetary system. For the time after a USD collapse, since they probably haven't got many gold reserves left either. In that case they would own Satoshi's keys of course
Yup.. You totally get what I am talking about. So, JJG if you see this, that should give you the info you need to know whether I am crazy or not.
Now, I love the NSA (inset what ever acronym) invented Bitcoin story. Not because it would or would not be beneficial... I have not gone far enough down that rabbit hole to know... but just for the wackiness of the theory. But I don't think the theory holds that much water just because it would take some SERIOUS foresight for the nation with prints the worlds reserve currency at will to actually have the next reserve currency cooked up and waiting in the wings. I USED to think my country was great enough for that kind of move. But I have grown up a lot since then.
Plus Bitcoin is one of the only things currently that truly threatens the whole CBDC/Social Credit score system, and it seems to people pulling the strings are more going for THAT world instead of the free, honest one. I thin k the "shadow government" is most likely all up in the 3 letter agencies. Only military intelligence seems to have a shred of dignity left.
