Re: Question for the anti-bank, anti-lending and anti-crypto crowd (who believe all 3)
So the only opinion so far is that you think only super rich people and corporations should own homes.

Everyone should be a renter (even though there shouldn’t be landlords lol)
And banks are bad because they give people a chance to acquire an asset that they can pass down to their relatives… which also happens to be the majority of people’s largest asset.

Wow GLP… wow. A new low.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42717143


And not to mention you also want to take away peoples ability to leverage the equity in their home as well.

You just want people to feed corporations and wealthy landlords (even though there shouldn’t be landlords lol) and have nothing to show for it. Unless they can save up about $30,000 a year and then in 10 years they could potentially afford an average house.

How many people making an average salary with maybe a kid or 2 have $30,000 left over for savings each year?

A new low for GLP
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42717143


Let’s say a couple that are both 25 years old have 2 kids. The father makes $75,000 a year and the mother watches the kids and doesn’t work.

If they are renting a typical house out, that would be at least $2,000 a month in most areas. Say 2 cars with payments of $500 total plus $200 in insurance.

Right there with rent and cars you’re at $32,400 without any other bills.

We’ll even say that 75k is after tax too

So now you’re down to $42,600

For 4 people to eat and all the other things like electricity, gas, etc… say even $2500 a month more which is ridiculously low. That’s another $30,000 a year.

Now you’re at $12,600 as a generous estimate and I’ll even round up to $15,000. If you want to buy a house for about $300,000 which is around average, it would only take 20 years!

So with real numbers, it would be more than 20 years.

Now that couple at 25 yr old with 2 babies is minimally 45 years old with kids in their 20s and they finally were able to buy their first house. And again, realistically it would be more than 20 years… so at 50-55 years old with adult children, they finally can afford to buy a house which also would wipe out 100% of their savings.

How does this make sense to any of you????

Say you want to buy a house. Should only people that have enough cash be able to buy?

If you don’t like fiat or crypto, do you think everyone should have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of PM in their homes? I go to buy a house and I need $500,000 worth of gold and I am just going to hand it all to the seller? Who is then going to just trust it’s all real gold?

If you don’t believe in lending and interest, are you a commie that wants other people’s money for nothing? Why should a random stranger give you their money to use for free?

Seems like there is a segment of people who are anti anything financial (because they are financially illiterate) yet don’t have any realistic solutions on how things would work otherwise.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42717143


Prof Auriti of Italy asked questions ~2002 about how value was inducted to money. But long previous early 1900s people in the Austrian school were addressing the matter of whether credit preceded money or followed. Find the Mises book - linked at the page I will link.

But read Bastiat - ECONOMIC SOPHISMS

And then ask how the national credit became collectivized and thereafter who is the proper creditor.

Re: Question for the anti-bank, anti-lending and anti-crypto crowd (who believe all 3)
The core of mutual credit lies in the hypothecation of the promissory note.

Absolute genius; too bad nobody told you.

Your credit is your property, however one hundred years ago the claim was made that the credit of a nation is the property of the government.

This idea lies at the heart of socialism and is the fifth plank of the communist manifesto.

You have been living under communism all of your life.

Your body, your life has been pledged for value in a system of bondage that dates back to ancient Babylon.

You have been moved into an economic bondage that is absolutely Biblical in history.

Rethink money and credit and free yourself.

You don't need violence and destruction; you need a better idea.

What if you enjoyed a vested position in ownership of the monetary system?

A mutual credit system owned by the users could charge zero interest with only a monthly service charge for keeping the records.

All of the people are seen as the owners, the paid professional administration is paid from a fund inspired by the writings of Silvio Gesell. I.E. everybody pays a little for a smooth running system of mutual credit.

Reputation records kept on participants.

Specie coinage recognized as a form of savings and used in a performance bond role.

Poor reputation; post a large performance bond.
Good reputation; low performance bond.

Any community could acquire a commercial banking license and operate the bank for the benefit and profit to the local population. Look to the example of the bank of North Dakota as pointed out by Dr Ellen Brown.

"Money is social memory" Quote from Narayana Kocherlakota.

The federal reserve note is a unit of credit of undefined redemption value.

The collectivization of the common credit of the people was the implementation of the fifth plank of the communist manifesto. This is a crime against the people and essentially identity theft writ large. This was over one hundred years ago under Roosevelt.

Richard Cook is correct; the public credit needs to be administered as a public utility.

Hey, I have not read this thread... so the ideas I mention have probably been discussed. But:

All economies are exclusive Any economic system that you can imagine is exclusive. It excludes people that don't want to play by the rules of said system.

Exclusivity of economies is an important idea because it means that if you come up with an alternate economy, you must also see it as exclusive. You must realize that your system must exclude the other systems.

For instance, let's say you don't believe in banks or fiat or crypto. Great. One of the more important realizations you must make is that people who use these things, must never be allowed to interact with you based on these things.

If a person takes out a loan from a bank to purchase something from you, you must insist that they first convert the asset they have (USD) to an asset that your economy recognizes (lumber or land or cows, etc).

So, why is every economy exclusive?
