Peter Thiel: China may be using bitcoin as ‘financial weapon’ against U.S. | |
Agent 88
 User ID: 9411909  Canada04/08/2021 05:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They can lose 500 million during an invasion and still be at an advantage with numbers... Keep in mind the fact that USA has 320 million people, give or take a few million, but the real question is how many will take up arms in an invasion...  Look at what happened during the past election and who is in the white house now... Are any Americans taking to the streets now??? The country is in the middle of a commie takeover right now...AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE!!! Agent 88 and Agent 99, are y'all working together? What's the current mission? Or would you have to kill me if I knew? Miss Cleo works for a separate organization than I do... "Were living in a time where facts have become conspiracy theories" A larper,eh...

User ID: 79957087  United States04/08/2021 06:50 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.marketwatch.com (secure)] Quoting: McDonald Trunalimunumaprzure [link to news.yahoo.com (secure)] Thiel said China would like to see two global reserve currencies, rather than the dollar being the default reserve currency. But China doesn’t want its renminbi to fill that role, and in the past has used the euro “in part” as a weapon against the dollar. That hasn’t worked, so now China is trying to elevate bitcoin, Thiel argued. “[If] China’s long bitcoin, perhaps from a geopolitical perspective, the U.S. should be asking some tougher questions about exactly how that works,” he said. Appearing alongside former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien at a virtual event held for members of the Richard Nixon Foundation, Thiel warned that Bitcoin may be a threat to the United States, indicating that his hawkish attitude toward China outweighs his crypto enthusiasm (Thiel is a major investor in virtual currency ventures and in cryptocurrencies themselves, Bloomberg notes). Thiel explained that China isn't fond of the fact that the U.S. dollar is the world's major reserve currency because it gives the U.S. global economic "leverage," and he thinks Beijing may view Bitcoin as a tool that could chip away at the dollar's might. "I do wonder whether at this point, [if] Bitcoin should also be thought [of] in part as a Chinese financial weapon against the U.S.," he said, video from the event obtained by Bloomberg reveals. "It threatens fiat money, but it especially threatens the U.S. dollar ... perhaps from a geopolitical perspective, the U.S. should be asking some tougher questions about exactly how that works." Ahhhh, Peter Theil. The man himself, the owner of Palintir. He would be right there with Mile Pompeo. Y'all want to see something that'll curl your toes look up Peter Theil's company Palintir. Palantir has long term line item contracts (CLIN) for government projects. Last Edited by SmoothSailing on 04/08/2021 06:52 AM "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero |

Get Smart was all the rage back in the 80s. NowIhavetothinkofanameohnoithurts It's all bull! Nevertheless, the ruler is not truly wise who cannot discern evils before they develop themselves, and this is a faculty given to few. Niccolo Machiavelli Karma is funny, people who kick dogs usually get bitten. If someone doesn't add value to your life, then that someone shouldn't be a part of it. You can always trust people to do whatever is in their own interests. It is certain wastelands will be brought under cultivation. |

What the fuck do you think the morons at the Federal Reserve have done to the US dollar? It has lost 99.9% of its value since it’s inception. EVERY fiat currency has failed. Bitcoin represents the best store of value the world has ever seen. It is decentralized, permissionless, incorruptible, etc, etc... If the US wants to protect itself the morons at the Fed and in the Treasury better start buying the living shit out of it and promoting it every way possible. ASAP. Bitcoin is a weapon against ANY government, China included. white walks red... |
