Posted this in the other thread but it bears repeating...

Speculative investing whether in stocks or digital currency or most anything else is generally unethical and always bad for the middle class.

There is virtually no value being produced. You are merely shifting money from one party to another which means the whole game is trying to leave someone else holding the bag.

And while, like the lottery or a casino, they will let enough "little people" win to entice others, overall it's always going to end up moving wealth from lower and middle class people to higher.

Every single bitcoin billionaire's billions came from lower and middle class people who got caught holding that bag.

You are not going to beat (((them))) at their own game, no matter how much they convince you that "this thing is different! governments cant control it!" In fact, Crypto is much easier for institutional investors to manipulate than traditional markets precisely because of the lack of regulation. It's quite the impressive scam how successfully they've portrayed it as if it were a an obstacle to their goals of fleecing the masses.

If you don't understand how speculative markets can be manipulated why are you risking your money in them? Or worse yet saying things that might encourage other people to?

It's unethical to participate in crypto trading or the stock market and by doing so you are facilitating the destruction of the middle class.

I'm totally ignorant about digital currency.
My question is, what happens if modern communications and electricity fail?
Can I buy chickens from my neighbor with my solar powered CB radio?

Electric and modern communications going out?

Never.

Have you checked on the power situation in South Africa lately?
It could happen anywhere or everywhere.

So they force everyone into digital currency.
Then they can quite literally starve everyone with the flip of a switch.

It caught wires on fire, along with the buildings containing them. A repeat is just a matter of time.

I now have a hobby project.

[ - ] PotatoWhisperer2 1 point 1.3 yearsFeb 27, 2024 18:35:06 ago (+1/-0)

I was thinking on a DIY solar panel/battery combo. I didn't know what to hook up to it until now. Maybe that CB and a drinks mini-fridge for the garage.

If you get it to work someday, please share.

Solar powered chickens?

[ - ] BoozyB 0 points 1.3 yearsFeb 27, 2024 15:25:24 ago (+0/-0)

Of course. Chickens are solar powered. So are you.

I'm totally ignorant about digital currency.

It's a wealth transfer scheme designed to suck money from the middle class up to bankers.
Similar to how the lottery works to drain money from the poor up to the rich.

[ - ] Monica [op] -1 points 1.3 yearsFeb 27, 2024 14:35:48 ago (+0/-1)

Sure. Bankers created a system to rid themselves of the power of banking.

Do you think they don't control crypto markets? Is that what you're saying? That's cute.

Remember the big crypto crash in 2018 when bitcoin lost 80% of it's value? Do you know how that happened? What was the direct cause? Banks had figured out a way to short bitcoin and then the orchestrated the crash to make it pay off huge for them. Then they bought back in at firesale prices.

The combination of naivete and unawareness revealed in your reply is exactly why a fool and his money are so soon parted by schemes like these.

What are YOU going to do when aliens invade and all they accept is BITCOIN? WHAT THEN HUH???

I can make up things that aren't going to happen TOO and then use that as an excuse to not do something.

Bitcoin is the greatest threat to Jews control of money that has been created.

And it was created for exactly that purpose.

Satoshi = Intelligence

I enjoy learning Japanese. Must've been the next project after Onion routing.

Oh my God. The whole jew capitalization thing?. You do know that spell check automatically capitalizes the word Jew and you have to take the time out of your day which I'm not going to do to go back and uncapitalize it and it still tries to capitalize it so you have to force it to uncapitalize it and quite frankly I'm just not that concerned about whether or not jew is capitalized to worry about that or take that time. So stop with that stupid argument. You go find me a spell checker that doesn't capitalize jew and I'll be happy to use it.
