It's amazing to me how the wrong people wind up winning the "Nobel Peace Prize".
Barack Obama won it, while at the same time, he was bombing Millions. Paul Krugman won the Nobel, in 2008... For economics!!! He's the guy who in 2005 said the internet's impact would be "No greater than the Fax machine's"
He's recently quoted as stating that "Bitcoin is a Evil." Once again... He will be wrong... Along with throngs of "Naysayers."
I read an article this Morning, about how "Doomsday Preppers" are flocking to Bitcoin, viewing the currency as a "Safe Haven" in bad times. http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-currency-of-the-apocalypse-doomsday-preppers-flock-to-bitcoin-as-it-surges-past-8000
The Comments section of articles like this, are always such an amusement to me.
"TULIP MANIA REDUX 2017"
"BitCON is nothing but a Ponzi Scheme Scam and will be entirely shut down with it becoming totally WORTHLESS."
"Yet another TOTAL SCAM that needs to be shut down and those involved CRIMINALLY prosecuted."
"BitCON is nothing but a Ponzi Scheme Scam heading to total shutdown by governments."
"If something sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true."
"They use bitcoin to trade child pornography on the deep web. I don't want any part of bitcoin."
Meanwhile, in each and every Country where mis-management by Central Banks is bringing the economy to it's knees, Bitcoin is BOOMING!!! The Government of China, where 90% of the population lives in squalor, tried to shut Bitcoin down. this past September.... Bitcoin's up over $9,000 now, and fast closing in on the all important $10,000 (USD) mark. There will be "Corrections" - yes! I'll make a prediction.... 20 years from now, you will wonder why people even bothered with Centrally controlled Fiat currencies. Mark it on your calendar, so I can say "I told you so".
If you don't think the VAST majority of "Criminal Activity" is perpetrated using "Regular Money", you ARE fooling yourself!!! You are believing the LIES you are TOLD to believe! All attempts by Governments (Which are criminal enterprises themselves) to squelch Bitcoin, will be useless.... Go ahead.... Mark your calendar!
