The FED needs to be cautious now that USA cannot prop up its exceptional privilege with military force.
Without China supplying rare earths the US military monetary combine is significantly disabled.
USA cannot now fight a war of any significance and duration without China resuming supply of rare earths.
Monetary and military power structures are very closely aligned.
The neoliberalised west forgot the strategic importance of actual ability to make and refine strategic materials and products.
Now it is at the mercy of Chinas mercantile mixed economy.
Best to keep what little monetary and military powder it has left, dry.
Control over MoE is the essence of the state imposed fiat monetary model of power projection.
If Bitcoin remains simply another speculative commodity it poses no threat (or alternative) to the the Jewish fiat debt slavery bankers cartel that owns your government.
You cannot build Jack shit without the rare earths China controls the supply of.
Lucky if you can still build 1970s era technology without rare earths supply.
China builds most of the global shipping fleet- USA builds less than 0.5%.
You cannot fight any war of any scale without Chinas support.
Can You Deal with that reality? No you cannot.
Where is the proof of that?
What do you mean 'Japan has proven China rare earths are already falling apart'?
What is this incoherent baseless nonsense?
Can you explain?
Silence.
You are just grasping at straws while I am simply stating the reality now faced.
I am not an apologist for US militaristic imperialism- you are.
USA must now do precisely as China asks ~ or face the consequences.
China has already BLOCKED supply of RARE EARTHS to the US military and will maintain that block leaving the US military incapable of any sustained military aggression for the foreseeable future.
US Imperialism is effectively finished- without a single shot fired.
Sun Tzu would approve.
China won the trade war and achieved global domination over strategic supply chains leaving the USA a helpless headless chicken beholden to the CCP.
Government and its strategic development of a nations power projection capacity is a significant factor in the wealth of nations.
Again in New Zealand we have similar problems.
Immigration has been used as a cheap form of economic stimulus by politicians and their corporate sponsors who want cheap labour and increased consumer demand but the longer term societal consequences can be much less beneficial.
There is a limit to how much cultural assimilation any community can absorb without damaging and complex consequences.
It is much the same here in NZ with the exception of Queenstown where lightningpay.nz are onboarding dozens of local businesses.
On the whole most NZers remain skeptical of Bitcoin and if they do use it it is not as a MoE...but as a speculative commodity. Hopefully this will change over time.
The way I see it both NZ and Aus are to a large extent monetarily and militarily subservient to the USA and our politics are equally subservient to US bankers and politics.
How is Bitcoin MoE adoption going in Aussie/Sydney?
Here in New Zealand we have a growing hub around Queenstown - all visitors and especially Aussies are most welcome!
Good to hear!
I have noticed even in some autocratic nations where the government has outright banned MoE use some brave businesses simply ignore the ban.
In contrast in some more 'liberal democracies' the courage of businesses and consumers often seems much less.
We need to assert the right to denominate in Sats as we can do here on Stacker news and as more and more people are doing globally.
All organisms are dependent upon their environment and ecosystem.
The idea of a sovereign individual is a highly hyped illusion demonstrative of late western civilisation and its loss of appreciation for the significance of organised group hierarchies (governments) in determining the wealth of individuals and nations.
No I see a hypocrit who cannot be bothered participating in an operational Bitcoin circular economy (Stacker News) when it is right under his nose...and who is actively and deliberately boycotting the opportunity.
Probably because you are more interested in hoarding/arsemiliking sats than using them as a P2P payments protocol.
The point you fail to refute is that you CHOOSE to not participate in the bitcoin MoE circular economy on Stacker news where you have the opportunity to.
