The safest way to save

Image
  Inflation proof: Saving in fiat currencies, especially at zero interest rates, is seeing the buying power of your saved money slowly weaken by inflation as more and more money is issued into the economy to try and save it. This is much like trying to keep a leaky bucket full.  The rate of Bitcoins issued is fixed and limited to 21 million. Most of the Bitcoins have already been issued to relatively few people who are using Bitcoins as a way of saving. Their interest is to raise the price of Bitcoin and if they manipulate the price, it will be to raise it. This make saving Bitcoins as a safe way to save wealth, either for short term private investments or long term investments for your children and grand children.   Can not be seized: While gold, property, houses, and bank accounts can be seized, as long as you or your inheritors have your key, your Bitcoins are secure from loss, theft, or seizure. .

Without freedom of speech, journalists are reduced to presenting opinions of the media outlets paying their salaries.  Freedom of speech is under attack. Corruption of bankers and politicians are being questioned. Safety of vaccinations and dangers of emerging technologies are being debated. Those who question these issues are labeled as ignorant alarmists and ignored by the mainstream media.

Anyone with a smart phone can make investigative journalists accountable by asking them a few questions, video recording their answers and publishing this for all to see.  Go to your local media outlets and interview their investigative reporters. Ask them the following question: What did you do to investigate controversial issues that warrant ...

Creation and flow of money and Bitcoin

  When the economy needs a boost, banks issue money as loans to large businesses called corporations who have collateral in their factories, rather than to people who are already in deep debt. The corporations are run by CEOs whose mandate is to raise the value of the company shares. They use the loans to buy their own company shares, causing their price to increase. They do this rather than produce products and services knowing that people can not afford to buy. This makes the CEO successful and rich and the share holders happy.  When the corporations go bankrupt, and default on their loans, the banks to go bankrupt. The government deems these corporations and banks as “too big to fail” and borrows money from the central bank and foreign investors to bail them out. Banks flood the economy with money by lowering interest rates. When too much money chases too few goods, it causes prices to rise, the value of money to fall and people to stop saving and to fall further into debt....

Troubled teenagers in a family have an inherent right to free speech, but they must earn their right for their freedom to do what they want, and to vote on how they want their families to be run. It is the duty of our parents to monitor and keep a close eye on us even when it invades our privacy. It is our parents wisdom to put our security above our freedoms. As long as we spend our time and effort on trivialities, and not protest all the wrongs against us, we do not deserve freedoms and democracy. https://andrewvecseybooks.blogspot.com/
