Mar. 16, 2017, 16:05 The first critical point from my text “BITCOIN and the imminent EU fallout – breaking points” has just passed without the great breakdown… but what is under its surface?
Immediately after the vote counting, we had media opinions this is a Pyrrhic victory for Rutte’s VVD party, comparing to the elections of 2012:
 |  |
|---|---|
| Mark Rutte (VVD) | Geert Wilders (PVV) |
| 2012 | 2012 |
| “Refugees are welcome!” | “We have to control our borders!” |
| 41 Parliament seats | 15 Parliament seats |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| 2017 | 2017 |
| “If you don’t like our country, leave!” | “We have to control our borders!” |
| Final: 33 Parliament seats (-8) | Final: 20 Parliament seats (+5) |
Notice how Rutte accepted PVV rhetoric in this campaigne? It never helps when you betray your original political views that voters usually connect and identify with a person. We also had Wilders saying: “I haven’t done yet with Mr. Rutte”.
Of course, the next question will be about the influence of this result to the French elections which are coming next month. But I suspect more influence will have an explosion of a letter bomb in the Paris office of the International Monetary Fund. A terrorism threat on arise will certainly have more effect to the popularity of Madam Le Pen, then a weak Rutte’s victory. Especially if we know that recently a similar attack with a letter bomb was thwarted in the Finance Ministry in Berlin!
I guess after this, big financial institutions will have to use only electronic communications, at least until someone invents explosive email!
And what about Bitcoin in this brew of events?
We had a hype about “Winklevoss moment”, which was contradictory in itself – it was basically a silly attempt to legalize speculative control over uncontrollable asset. And then, we had another brilliant demonstration of the blockchain power. Bitcoin once again showed remarkable resilience, and recovered from the “Winklevoss moment” in only 18 hours!
And we also had Willy Woo with his Google stats which said that Bitcoin doubles its users every 371 days!
And Bitcoin is still holding, since March 2nd, above the price of gold. Here are the numbers of the closing bell:
And that’s not all, Folks! FED just hiked rates again!
It looks like a wonderful time to ditch the plutocracy, their technocratic and political puppets, and turn to blockchain.
