Bitcoin is Cyber Power

Bitcoin is Cyber Power

Over a long enough timeline, if it isn’t #bitcoin, it is going to zero.

For the first time in human history, you can verify the total supply of money. #Bitcoin let that sink in!

You won’t solve climate change by trying to eradicate something that accounts for 0.1% of all energy consumption and mostly runs on clean power.

– Solar & Wind “don’t match where” & “don’t match when” most customers want it.
– Bitcoin mining “doesn’t care where” & “doesn’t care when” power is produced.
– This makes Bitcoin the catalyst for the renewable transition.

Fifty Years of Fiat Failure On August 15, 1971, President Nixon suspended the convertibility of the US dollar into gold, subjecting the American citizenry to an unprecedented and disastrous economic experiment.

Don’t forget the dollar is the world reserve currency and the Bretton Woods agreement meant that nations could convert dollars into gold until the Nixon Administration reneged on the agreement. We’ve had the disaster that is fiat currency ever since. US citizens couldn’t convert dollars into gold since the 30s. Only foreign banks could.

A Soviet Spy at the Center of Bretton Woods: Harry Dexter White and the Ongoing Threat of Espionage
May 16, 2013 Bringing to bear new and striking archival evidence, author Benn Steil offers the most compelling portrait yet of the complex and controversial figure of Harry Dexter White in his new book, “The Battle of Bretton Woods: John Maynard Keynes, Harry Dexter White, and the Making of a New World Order.”

Harry Dexter White: Not a traditional Soviet spy per se; But one of the architects of the new financial order of the 20th century which had to include every global industrial power. White helped set the foundations of globalisation.

Harry Dexter White (October 9, 1892 – August 16, 1948) was an American economist and senior U.S. Treasury department official. Working closely with the Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., he helped set American financial policy toward the Allies of World War II while at the same time he passed numerous secrets to the Soviet Union. He was the senior American official at the 1944 Bretton Woods conference, that established the postwar economic order. He dominated the conference and imposed his vision of post-war financial institutions over the objections of John Maynard Keynes, the British representative. At Bretton Woods, White was a major architect of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

Colleges Slash Budgets in the Pandemic, With ‘Nothing Off-Limits’

Background

Harvard got started with opium drug money from the boston brahmins. 

Opulence and Opium: The Legacy of Harvard’s Drug Syndicate

From Harvard, the opium trade spread throughout New England. According to Bradley, Yale University’s infamous Skull and Bone society was funded by the Russels, the most successful family of opium dealers in America. Columbia’s Low Memorial Library was also named after a key member of the family. Even Princeton’s first large benefactor, John Green, funded his contribution through the opium trade.

Colleges Slash Budgets in the Pandemic, With ‘Nothing Off-Limits’

By one estimate, the pandemic has cost colleges at least $120 billion, with even Harvard University, despite its $41.9 billion endowment, reporting a $10 million deficit that has prompted belt tightening.

So, a deficit equal to .02% (not 2%, .02%) of its endowment.  A deficit that could trivially made up with the interest on the endowment; a tiny blip on the level of “loose change in couch cushions”.

And Harvard’s institutional response is to “tighten its belt”.

If instead they used 1% of that endownment (about $.4B) then they could cover that $10M, stash another $10M for next year, and give out $400M to other universities who are struggling.  And they’d still have $41.5B.
