(((Bitcoin))) (((Japanese inventor))) As if they are not planning on world currency with crypto.

Crypto is now trackable as of 2018 if you make more than 1 transaction with your wallet, according to some programmer bros I met. The feds are cracking down on tax evasion with it too. Seems to draw alot of black market commerce.

Could be just another tool to try and destabilize currencies and markets. What better time to buy than when you artificially crash the market? 2008 really screwed everyone who was not rich, and transferred alot of wealth upward on the social ladder.

Might be a good idea to open an account and transfer some money to a stable currency, like Swiss Francs if you're worried about the dollar crashing.

You can totally tumble bitcoin, or use combiners, or swap it for other cryptos and back to avoid tracking. Feds are only interested in the big boys (hundreds of thousands to billions of dollars). Invest in bitcoin now, before it becomes expensive.

It's complicated and not a singular solution. I agree it's time to invest, if you can, in a diverse array of alternatives, including in precious metals in your fist (not on paper).

Investing is usury. If you invest you are part of the usury scam. But if one must, invest in good and righteous things

I hate to disagree with my lord and savior, but Jesus my friend, investing is NOT usury. Usury is usury.

Investing in the future, saving for a rainy day, prepping, etc. = NOT usury.

If you have excess in your bank account, don't let the banks use it. Support alternatives such as cryptocurrencies if you must keep it close to liquid. If I had "money to burn" I'd buy into counter-narrative productions, arts, YouTube alternatives, etc. I'd invest in IPFS servers, open-source solutions, and other such things. And after this fall I should have a first draft of my epic story finished so that people can like it or lump it, and together we can improve it and produce it.

Sorry, investing in the stock market is what I meant to say.

I wouldn't call that usury either. I'd call it a lottery-like pyramid scam though.

Also, anything that helps the corporatocracy and/or banks is supporting the usury-establishment and debt-slavery system.

It's usury because you are using interest bearing loans. I invite you to read the book: and its free: Jeffery Marks: Pathology of Debt.

Are you conflating two books?

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Jeffery+Marks%3A+Pathology+of+Debt

Shows "The Modern Idolatry" by Marks

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Pathology+of+Debt

Seems written by Henry C.K. Liu

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

The whole point of bitcoin is to prevent control over it. Do some research.

The "official" story.
