RE: To Buy Or Sell Bitcoin Cash... That Is The Question
I have been startled by the rationality of the statements of Jeff Berwick, but have long been dismayed by various parties whose rhetoric is merely propaganda.
A lot of Jeff's statements are almost as "rational" as David Icke's.
I haven't heard any references to Reptilian overlords from @dollarvigilante, although I am less than convinced cryptos have any potential to overthrow the world order. However, they may well provide a basis for a new economic structure if they are filling a vacuum, or merely one leg of a multi-pronged strategy.
The way things are looking presently is that they are just being retrofit into the extant fractional reserve banking system, which leaves them but another form of fiat, although easier of global transfer and accounting than paper notes.
It may not be of much practical use to consider the philosophy of liberty while the current system appears to thrive, unassailable in it's formidable power, but there are systemic problems and new technology challenging obsolete paradigms that impact the current order behind the veil of money.
While the Anarcho-Syndicalists were overwhelmed by the Bolsheviks, the embryo of freedom was but pushed aside. Just as Voline and his compatriots were imprisoned and slaughtered by the 'Communists' (Terrorists) a century ago, Ross Ulbricht has been today, and Berwick remains yet actively proclaiming liberty.
What seems impractical at present may still become inevitable as the fluidity of extant circumstances continues to threaten dominant paradigms, particularly as the human spirit continues, always, to dream of flying free.
It is not unreasonable to consider where to go from here, and no one has all the answers, so some consternation is to be expected of any philosopher groping for answers in the darkness of our present overcast of propaganda and coercive governance.
Come the dawn, the light of reason may look different than we expect from our current view.
Jeff doesn't just talk about cryptocurrencies, he talks about all kinds of conspiracy theory shit such as the moon landings being faked, CIA controlling peoples minds, etc. I like Jeff as I find him amusing and entertaining but rational wouldn't be a word I'd use to describe him.
