Bloomberg: “ #Preciousmetals, #oil and #commodities are rising despite the dollar’s rebound, even though they are priced in #USdollars. This demonstrates that these #hardassets are the true #hardcurrency during this extraordinary period.” Hong Hao, Chief investment officer, Lotus Asset Management

@SocraticEthics #Zelensky should openly say that no #nazi #russian #gas to #Hungary and #Slovenia until #Orban and #Fico convinces #russia to leave #Ukraine and send loads of #Gold and #hardcurrency to compensate for the destruction they have caused.

The boll is in their corner, time for them to act in their best interest.

We resist talking about expertise but we have learned all manner of design techniques. We spend a time communicating difficult but important topics like #exponentialGrowth, #populationGrowth and #overconsumption, which can typically be a bit dry and attract poor behaviors from some. So we try to relay info in nuanced ways.

In recent years our focus is on #UBI, #hardCurrency (bitcoin) and #bankerCrimes as we have identified these as integral to solving above.

Why do you ask?

The price of #oil fluctuates and yet its usable — not politically (due to climate/peakOil) but physically, its usable.

The same applies to CCs (#cryptocurrencies).

The political issue with CCs is they are slowly making the defense about actual defence. Under a #hardCurrency, wars cause real wealth loss, as opposed to just paper, re-printable wealth.

Good news for most — but not for those involved in the #MICIMATT (M.I.Congress.Intel.Media #Academia #ThinkTank) Complex.

Its as if ppl needed an excuse to drop the #uselessJobs.

An out.

They couldn't just tell the boss "this isn't really worth the inputs"? Could this be how we reach sustainability? The problem they think a #moneyPump will solve this but all that does is increase #inequality. Thus likely to have the reverse effect?

Imagine if fiat became the #lifeSupport for the terminally stupid.

There were two parallel #economies, #hardCurrency and the #inflatingMess.

Without watching it sounds like what Prof. #SteveKeen has been pushing for over a year now? The main problem with them that we see is they require, de-anonomising ppl in terms of when and what they do.

The actual remedy is moving to a #hardCurrency. There should be no way to stoke bubbles in an #economy, because it always leads to great #inequality with some ppl getting more help than others.

Taxing #consumption evenly based on #embeddedEnergy is best, and a #UBI.

Q: What would #MargaretThatcher support today to continue the #neoliberalOrder?

A: An #NFTOwningDemocracy

You know where this ultimately goes if left unchecked, and linked to a CentralBankDigitalCurrency (#CBDC). It means #LandTitles on a blockchain and #cronyists close to the moneyPrinting being able to print themselves into #landOwnership *that can never be challenged by any government*.

Yes, it's very dangerous and we need to ensure NFT never gain #legitimacy above #hardCurrency.

"Look we #printedMoney just for you. Now, give us those #landRegistries!!"

Add this to the list of reasons why we despise the #debtBasedPonzi, aka #fiatCurrency, and #centralBanks.
