GET TO BITCOIN BEFORE DIGITAL LOCKDOWN Perhaps it’s intentional, perhaps simply emergent. But in the middle of this crisis, when everyone is wiring money out of collapsing Western banks, the Fed somehow continues effort towards launching their FedNow CBDC. The darkest interpretation is that this is a Great Dollarwall to stop you from getting out after the digital dollar devaluation. Like the Berlin Wall and so many other walls built by economically colllapsing regimes, except digital. Just imagine wage, price, and capital controls down to the individual level for those still trapped in the dollar system. Your devalued dollars become video game points and the same Fed that crashed the economy becomes the system administrator. You’re a guinea pig for crazy Keynesians. That’s game over. As in China, political dissent wouldn’t just mean cancellation, it would mean unbanking. And it wouldn’t just be PayPal freezing accounts of the politically problematic; it’d be some bureaucrat at the Fed. Now, while something like this has been the unfortunate experience of millions of people worldwide under totalitarian regimes, I recognize that many people think something like this couldn’t happen in the West. So if you trust the US establishment completely on everything, ignore me and put your funds in Treasuries. But if you have a hint of doubt, just think about all the lies — NSA surveillance, Iraq WMD, the 2008 financial crisis, the last ten years of media whoppers, the claim that masks don’t work before they do, the denial of inflation — all the lies that got us to here. And think about the last five years of cancelling, deplatforming, freezing, and unbanking. With all that, you sure that you want to trust the US establishment with *all* your money? 100% of it? When their banks are collapsing left and right? When they are blaming depositors for bank collapses after the central bank *caused * the failures and the regulators abetted the coverup?[1] If you do, Fed around and find out. If not, get to Bitcoin before they lock you in. [1]: x.com/balajis/status… federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pre…

Disgraceful reporting by the @nytimes on FTX. It portrays SBF as a charitable entrepreneur who went under and does not mention the words fraud, criminal, substance abuse, friends & family Bahamas KYC racket, hack, stolen funds or wiped servers anywhere. archive.ph/mxOh5
