#hardcurrency — Public Fediverse posts

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

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?

@hj

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.

@openrisk
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.

This is why we say the system is so far gone that the only way we see to bring things back is by using #hardCurrency (#gold and #bitcoin, the latter is easier and more liquid, #transportable, etc).

Yes, at the start of the bitcoin game some oligarchs might have a lot of it, but over time they have no choice but to spend it and thus their power will dilute. We think their power will dilute quickly.

Then #quality and #justice can succeed.

It won't be easy, just better.
