Divisibility: Bitcoin is much more divisible than fiat currencies. One bitcoin can be divided into up to eight decimal places, with constituent units called satoshis. Bitcoin is divided into units as small as 0.0001 BTC. In the future, if needed, the divisibility of bitcoin can be increased to 100 billion smaller parts Tokenization with any cryptocurrency, combined with virtually unlimited supply, means you’ll soon be able to securitize your household mortgage and . . . oh wait. " You expect me to talk about the interest rate on stablecoins? " No Mr Bond. I expect you to die! Friedman always pushed for state management of the money supply). To Burns, Friedman was a conservative because his prescriptions were often based on historical analysis, and because his career followed the arc of postwar American conservatism, with its “hybrid blend of libertarian economics, opposition to Communism, and defense of traditional values and hierarchies.” And if ordinary Chileans didn’t understand ’ Freedom to choose " and ’ Public choice ’ economics there was always august general Pinochet to assist them. Similar to Presidente Bukkake in neighboring El Slavador… And Von Miele of Val Verde. The Strasser junta. And the Immobilari.

Everything that’s Dangerous about U.S. Banks Today in One Highly Readable Book
https://wallstreetonparade.com/2024/01/everything-thats-dangerous-about-u-s-banks-today-in-one-highly-readable-book/ By Pam Martens: January 17, 2024 ~ The Bankers' New ClothesAnat Admati, Professor of Finance and Economics at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and German economist Martin Hellwig, have performed a public service to all Americans with their newly released, updated and expanded book The Bankers’ New Clothes: What’s Wrong with Banking and What to Do about It. It puts the interlocking web of corruption that is mistakenly referred to as the U.S. banking system into a pristinely documented and highly readable book. Let us first explain those men without pants on the book jacket. That provocative graphic comes from the storyline in the Hans Christian Andersen tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Tailors offer to make the emperor magical clothes that will be visible only to smart people and invisible to the stupid and unfit. When the emperor’s ministers go to inspect the clothes, they see nothing, but they are fearful of being called stupid if they admit this. The emperor, also fearful of being regarded as intellectually lacking, says nothing and tours the capitol in his nonexistent garments. Only a child is brave enough to shout out in the capitol “The emperor has no clothes,” thus breaking the conspiracy of silence. The authors explain in example after example how corruption has taken over the banking system today but the guardians of our democracy have bought into the “pervasive myth that banks and banking are special and different,” so they have allowed themselves to be socialized to silence out of fear of being “declared incompetent to participate in the discussion.” As I read that insightful analogy, the image of 60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl treating JPMorgan Chase’s crime boss, Jamie Dimon, like a revered financial wizard in a televised interview in 2019 flashed through my mind. (Less than a year after that program aired, JPMorgan Chase admitted to another two felony counts brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, bringing its total to an unprecedented five felony counts in the span of six years.) A key area on which Admati and Hellwig shine much needed sunshine is the accounting gimmickry that allows U.S. banks to hide billions of dollars in losses on bonds by simply labeling them “held to maturity” securities. (For background, see here and here.) The authors write that “Accounting rules should be changed so that banks must apply fair-value accounting to all assets regardless of how long they intend to hold them.” Admati and Hellwig also provide brilliant new insights into the second, third and fourth largest bank failures in U.S. history that occurred in the spring of last year. Those bank failures resulted in the Federal Reserve creating yet another new bailout program, the Bank Term Funding Program, despite the American people being reassured since 2010 that the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation ended “too big to fail.” The authors compare the persistent attack by banks, their lobbyists, and their toadies in Congress that bank regulations impose a “cost” on society to “chemical companies complaining about increased costs when they are prohibited from dumping toxic chemicals into rivers next to their plants.” This is a spot-on comparison considering that the worst financial crisis in the U.S. since the Great Depression occurred from 2007 to 2010 as a result of the Wall Street mega banks dumping their toxic mortgage securities across the financial landscape of America and imploding a vast stretch of it. The final chapter of the book, “Above the Law?” is a testament to the encyclopedic banking knowledge of the authors. They have selected some of the most revealing episodes of banking crimes to illustrate how Americans now live under the jackboot of Wall Street banking titans with all avenues of redress locked up tight. One example cited in the chapter is vital to understanding the perilous nature of how Americans have been stripped of their ability to fight back against the banking cartel – whose tentacles now extend into the courts, the Congress, the Justice Department and federal prosecutors’ offices across the land. On November 19, 2013 the Justice Department, together with a number of state attorneys general, announced a stunning $13 billion settlement with JPMorgan Chase for “misleading investors about securities containing toxic mortgages.” The Justice Department’s Statement of Facts was so devoid of critical details that it was impossible to unravel the scope of what had gone down. The nonprofit watchdog, Better Markets, was so incensed by the subterfuge that it filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice in February 2014, writing as follows: “…the Executive Branch, through DOJ, acted as investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury, sentencer, and collector, without any review or approval of its unilateral and largely secret actions. The DOJ assumed this

focusing on [OOPS]. traffick boss's prison situation has moved deeper
into the research area. the below is happening in private.]
Traffick Boss is in a robotic vivisectee research lab, alone. A
mostly-robot cyborg assembly coming out of a wall is persistently and
slowly taking his body apart and moving the parts here or there into
some organization it seems only it knows about.
Traffick Boss's face is visible. He looks conscious, jaded, not in
pain despite the dismemberment. The robot-cyborg has parts extending
into his head and spine.

{our goal is to drink water. we want to drink water. are we without
water atm? this is sad, unfortunate.
Welcome To Being Thirsty
You are a funny-behaving human being who would like to drink water.
You have multiple sources around you, but are sadly experiencing
persecutory dissociative issues resulting in issues finding things.
One of your issues is that you can become blind to things you are
looking for, when looking at them. Another issue is that when you
might find something you're looking for, your body might sneakily and
quickly behave on its own to distract you or hide it.
It's important to drink water when you are thirsty, especially if you
have significant issues.
Here is some example interaction:
> Look for my water bottle where it is.
You expect you have 3 water bottles at the back of the copilot seat.
You look and don't find any of them, but you do find a can of soda you
dislike.
> Drink the soda
You shake the soda before opening it, for some reason this seemed to
make sense to you. It splatters and gets you wet. You are so thirsty!
You drink some. It tastes so icky! It doesn't taste like hydration at
all. It tastes fizzy and icky. You open the door and put it outside to
manage it, where it will likely freeze and contribute to litter and
could harm a small animal. This saddens you and you dissociate around
it.
Now look for water more:
0504 -0500
> Look at items at seat back. What is there?
It's hard to see and type all the items. At top are two styrofoam
takeout containers from a soup kitchen. You had lunch from these
yesterday and they are empty.
> Put them outside with the can.
No, you don't want to litter. The can is only there because it was too
confusing and messy. You have a tendency to knock things, which would
spill the can, but the styrofoam containers won't spill.
> Put them outside anyway.
No, you don't want to. Would you like to enter a Dissociatve Parts
Boxing Match, where you try to mediate with your internal conflicts?
> um
> enter Dissociative Parts Boxing Match around putting the styrofoam containers
> outside
You enter the ring.
"You don't want to put the styrofoam containers outside. Why put them outside?"
> they're in the way and I want to find water. I need to find water!
You get a boxing point when you mention you need to find water. The
opponent part cowers in fear.
"I don't know how I will put them back in the vehicle after putting
them outside. I need to learn to keep the vehicle [organized
