I put on the tin foil hat I keep close at hand and listened to Whitney Webb on TFTC last night. She's convinced that a cyber attack false flag will hit the financial system within the next year, with the purpose of implementing CBDCs and a new user ID/KYC internet. I didn't sleep well.

Marty Bent = poster child for audience capture. It's sad, his was one of the first btc-related media I read every day. Now you know everything that will ever come out of his mouth.

reply

Interesting, you are the first bitcoiner that I’ve heard be critical towards Bent. I’m curious- do you think he is not authentic?

reply

Oh no, there is no question in my mind that he's authentic. The question is: authentically what?

He went from "hey maybe this btc thing is important, maybe I should learn about it" to swallowing the hook on every possible conspiracy or tinfoil hat thing he ever brushes against. He recognizes that existing systems produce some bad effects, and instead of digging into the complexity of the world, he sort of relaxes into his circlejerking like it's a warm bath. You probably have hyper-liberal and hyper-conservative friends who do the same thing. It's a familiar archetype.

He seems like he's got a good heart. That's half the problem.

reply

That’s a good perspective @elvismercury, and also a good check for me when ingesting his podcasts 🤜🤛

Did you post this article recently, or did I read it somewhere else? Good link.

reply

I post it every time I realistically can ;)

Always think of the incentives. The Fed owners clearly have no interest in a retail CBDC. Wholesale (FedNow) yes. Look at the ECB: As I told You they now need at least another 5 years to start a test. Not going to happen. Resistance is growing especially here in the south.

reply

She did mention fednow first, followed eventually by CBDCs.

reply

That was a wild episode.

reply

It's strange watching her as she speaks. I expect her to take out her knitting as she describes a global financial meltdown.

reply

At least You have a discussion. Over here there is nothing. Silence. Stupidity and agony

reply

I didn't watch it. Only listened to audio but yes she is pretty nonchalant considering the subject of discussion.

reply

That interview was an eye opening for many.
Because is fucking true.

Not your bank, not your money.

That's it. And now we need to educate the herd... uuufff

CBDCs are coming

reply

They have only one goal. Trying to prevent people from using Bitcoin.

reply

And hodling the sh.t out of it for themselves and their rotten camarilla of political parasites.

reply

First...

  • Chaos.
  • Social unrest.
  • People calling for Government help & intervention.

A playbook as old as time itself.

or north koreans..
no wait.. hamas.. its hamas for sure

reply

Noooo. It's the Taliban using US equipment

reply

GrapheneOS for mobile phones.

Linux or BSD for computers.

You don't need an account from a big tech to use your devices.

reply

Probably a manufactured excuse to make FedNOW look like our savior from old and decrepit ACH. Interesting times

reply

FedNow is a wholesale ''CBDC''.

reply

Meanwhile, we're here going tick tock next block.

reply

That is what is all about. I do not want to say ''enjoy'' the sh.t show but in a way... it's interesting watching Fiat Fantasyland crash
