#CANCEL STUDENT DEBT

Memetic Warfare – Bitcoin 2022 Conference
This might be the the worst clip of the conference or you might like it the most.

NICO⚡️ “This is NOT about the money, the wealth gained is a secondary affect. This is about the liberation of man from an evil so entrenched into the political and banking system that want us enslaved. This is a battle between good & evil and Bitcoin is our last hope to defeat them.

It’s a false narrative that #Bitcoin is hoarded by a few, that’s propaganda from TradFi media. There’s roughly the same number of BTC whales as billionaires in the world. Whale holdings continue to distribute evenly, on track for 12% of supply by 2030, retail gaining fast. ~Woonomic

A Look at How Buckminster Fuller Predicted Bitcoin: ‘A Realistic, Scientific Accounting System of What Is Wealth’

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen explains #Bitcoin features and benefits.

Maybe she is starting to realize that it is the only way to enable a neutral reserve currency that allows the free market to win instead of totalitarian states.
Janet Yellen’s speech “marks the inflection point for worldwide adoption of #Bitcoin”- Michael Saylor

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn’t a “free market.” Robert Reich

These 8 Men Control Half the Wealth on Earth.
They hold the equivalent of the wealth of 3.6 billion people. Can you guess who they are? Oxfam presented its findings on the eve of the World Economic Forum, the famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) gathering in Davos, Switzerland, of the most powerful political and business minds from around the world. Oxfam executive director Winnie Byanyima had this to say about the findings: “It is obscene for so much wealth to be held in the hands of so few when one in 10 people survive on less than $2 a day…. Inequality is trapping hundreds of millions in poverty; it is fracturing our societies and undermining democracy.”
According to Oxfam, the wealthiest individuals in the world are:

  1. Bill Gates
  2. Amancio Ortega (Spanish founder of Inditex)
  3. Warren Buffett
  4. Carlos Slim (Mexican businessman)
  5. Jeff Bezos
  6. Mark Zuckerberg
  7. Larry Ellison
  8. Michael Bloomberg

Elon Musk’s not-so-secret weapon: An army of Twitter bots touting Tesla April 12, 2022 5 AM PT
In early November 2013, the news wasn’t looking great for Tesla. A series of reports had documented instances of Tesla Model S sedans catching on fire, causing the electric car maker’s share price to tumble.
Then, on the evening of Nov. 7, within a span of 75 minutes, eight automated Twitter accounts came to life and began publishing positive sentiments about Tesla. Over the next seven years, they would post more than 30,000 such tweets.
With more than 500 million tweets sent per day across the network, that output represents a drop in the ocean. But preliminary research from David A. Kirsch, a professor at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, concludes that activity of this sort by so-called bots has played a significant part in the “stock of the future” narrative that has propelled Tesla’s market value to altitudes loftier than any traditional financial analysis could justify.
