Former Assistant Secretary of Housing and investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts says you have to be careful and fully understand Bitcoin. Fitts explains, “We do know they want to go to an all-digital system with central bank cryptos. The easiest way to build the prison is to get freedom lovers everywhere to build the prison for you. To me, Bitcoin has always been the prototype on the way to building the all-digital crypto system that they would love to put into place. You have $400 trillion in fiat (currency) and it needs a place to go. If you are trying to buy up all the gold, silver and farmland, the last thing you need is competition from retail. They want to shift them into crypto and get them to build the crypto train tracks. In a funny kind of way, it’s brilliant.

There is talk by big banks that Bitcoin could go to $300,000 per unit by the end of the year. Fitts thinks, “This is absolutely possible. This is pure politics. This has nothing to do with economics. How much will the central bankers, who can print as much money as they want, spend to get you into this platform? Your guess is as good as mine. The sky’s the limit as to how much they can spend. Remember, once they decide to bring out the central bank currencies, and they have steadily been regulating the crypto currencies, Bitcoin and everything else, so the day they decide to take this to zero, they can do it. If you are going to invest into cryptos and build our prison for us, what you need to know is this thing could go to $300,000, and it can also go to zero. This is a highly speculative market, and you need to approach it accordingly.”

Fitts warns of a dark future if the central bankers get everything they want. Fitts says, “When they decide to shut down our bank accounts and say you all get on crypto, universal basic income and take that injection or you can’t transact on the financial system, this is instituting a totalitarian system through the financial system. . . . When they shut that trap door, what you need to think about is where are you going to buy food?”

In closing, Fitts says, “We are in Never, Never Land. We have two groups in our society: One group that can print money, and the other who can earn money. What we saw last year is the people who could print money declared war on the people who earn money. They basically said we are going to shut down your businesses, and we are going to suck up and take your market share or buy you out with money we print out of thin air. . . . We have no pandemic. What this is is an economic war.”

I like Fitts and I've listened to her many times, and I also think she should keep talking about crypto, but when it comes to crypto, she really doesn't understand it.

I disagree with her when she says the CB's can take bitcoin to zero at will. The only way to do that is to short it and your really can't short bitcoin. Not yet. That would require financial services to support bitcoin far more than they are now to the point where they can do naked shorts of bitcoin the same way they do naked shorts of gold and silver, or otherwise create a paper crypto market.

But what makes crypto different from metals is that it doesn't need banks to serve as clearing houses. Taking delivery of gold and silver is much less attractive than taking it with crypto as metals require actual delivery overhead, and any decision to have gold and silver reenter the market is also additional over head a seller must pay for, which is considered by anyone deciding to take delivery of metals. Not so with crypto.

Gold and silver are great, but the fact is they cannot serve as currency in our modern digital world. Digital dollars can, and crypto can, but not physical gold & silver. Yes I agree with Fitts that CB's want everyone hooked on a digital dollar, but I disagree that Bitcoin is some kind of gateway drug to the CB jail cell. Gold and silver do not threaten the CBs. They only serve as the bench mark by which to measure the failure of CBs. Crypto, on the other hand, threatens CB's directly by attacking their very purpose which is control of the currency supply. Of course CB's are threatened by free market crypto, but if it wasn't for free market crypto, CB's wouldn't even be bothering with digital versions of fiat.

So no, Bitcoin is not the bait to get people hooked on CB digital fiat. It's CB digital fiat which is the CB's attempt to counter the threat that free market crypto like bitcoin poses to them. And I think that effort will fail.

Gold and silver threaten the Dollar which will destroy the hold the Bankers have on us. FED Digicash is probably a couple years away but Chinese Digicash is being tested in China right now.

Not sure what would happen to Bitcoins if NSA waged war against them.

I must thoughtfully disagree. If gold and silver didn't exist, then it would be copper threatening the dollar. Of if copper didn't exist it would be platinum. It would be whatever. What really threatens the dollar is the amount of abuse that has been exercised by govs and CBs that exploit it's inherent defect of being centrally controlled. Precious metals are simply the static standard by which the world can measure that abuse.

Further, how could one say that G & S really might set us free from the dollar when the dollar used to be fully backed by gold? If it failed to keep us free from CBs, then how does the logic work to suggest it will set us free once again?

FED Digicash is probably a couple years away but Chinese Digicash is being tested in China right now.

Yes it is. And I see CB issued digital money as acclimating people to the idea of digital money. It's much easier to get someone to accept free market crypto as alternative payment if they are already used to using their smart phones as a wallet thanks to CB's teaching the masses that it's normal.

Digital currency is a brand new battlefield. CBs and govs will try to win that battle, but I believe it's a battlefield they would avoid fighting on if they had any choice. They much prefer to maintain the old battlefield where they already dominate, even to the point of manipulating G & S prices albeit imperfectly and absent 100% control.

But I see crypto as a new place they will lose as they cannot defeat a currency that does not require centralization to operate and compete.

Nothing. It's decentralized, so what can the NSA do? There is no secret data center to raid and shut down. There is no person to arrest. Will they try to eliminate internet traffic that relates to bitcoin? Can they do that globally or only in the USA? And how would they tell if an encrypted data packet going over the line is bitcoin or something else entirely? If they rely on port numbers, then crypto developers will simply modify the code to use alternate port numbers or even random port numbers.

Even IF they could somehow bring Bitcoin itself to its knees globally, which I don't think they can, there are many dozens and even hundreds of other cryptos waiting in line right behind it. And crypto is unique as a currency as its the first "living" currency the world has ever seen. That is, whatever restrictions govs attempt to impose, core developers can circumvent by modifying the core code, and they can do so in endless ways.

No, if this was a race track, my full bet would be on the crypto horse rather than the big brother horse. I may not know how long the race is, but I know who wins in the end.

How do gold an silver threaten the dollar? Would think what with the public being so stupid as they are, the vast majority still look to CBs and greenbacks as their life force. Is people holding G&S any different in impact on 'em than collectors of deluxe old cars, movie memorabilia etc? If gold and silver fans were widely buying and selling with the metals, maybe different. Parading my ignorance again......

With things being as crazy and inside-out as they are I'm wondering if gold and silver are even the long-term hedge we like to think. The PTB have kept them from keeping up with inflation for the most recent 15% of American history. When they can't do that any longer it'll prolly be because they're out of power, we've got Zimbabwe inflation, all goods have stopt moving and there's nothing to buy at any price unless you want to trade a krugerrand for 2 cans of beans.

Neo's doomsday vision here at no extra charge. Hate to be so pessimistic but hey, it's deep February.
