Snakeoil. Tastes good in the way in but burns like hell on the way back out again.
I'm truly baffled how people can be taken in by such obvious bull.

The money we make, trade most of our working life for, worry about, and strive for is a myth. As hard as it is for people to wrap their heads around, these undeniable facts are truth.
Not trying to diminish anyone's bank account, career, wealth, 401k's, or dreams, but it can disappear overnight literally, because it's just a bunch of 1's and 0's/binary, in an electronic banking system, backed by nothing.
Money is the "Red Herring" Look at how we focus on national debts, and things that don't really exist, they've really got us under their thumbs, No?
We have a "Fiat Currency", it was never there in the first place. And TPTB don't hide it take a look they tell us right to our face. Suggestion play this video over and over, until it sinks in, then watch the second video.
We are taught to think making money per hour, trading our time (Per Hour) is the way. TPTB, and the elite pull money, out of their asses, then loan it to the a mass who will sign their life away for bling, mortgages, bills, elusive safeties, and more bling.
Now what is the real value? If people really want to understand and undo the brain-washing, here's a highly recommend video by Edward G. Griffin. It talks about how the Federal Reserve was implemented, and that the true value, of money is the sweat equity.
The video will empower people who do not understand the banking system we have today, and to slow down, question, and use critical thinking going forward, in their future.
I picked this video because it portrays a mindset, and without a partisanship bias, this is exactly what TPTB think about us.

Borrowing money at minimal interest and repaying at your leisure? Good luck with that, on any serious loan you will repay it over a set period and the interest you pay will be nearly as much again as the amount you originally borrowed by the time you’ve paid it off.

i want to reiterate the importance of Judge Anna's work and info. Just as important to the fiat debt money is the fake person that accepts the debt. The strawman fiction that is created in your name but is always in ALL CAPITAL letters. Thats how they trick us away from common law courts and into the legal system where the U.C.C. is the law, the whole of the law. It becomes all about commerce, period. Yes, there most certainly are better, easier less compli ated ways to civilly enact business with one another. There is no good reason for compound interest in the top for printing and digital clicks. This system is so unfair governments have to do double book bookkeeping to hide all the excess wealth they accumulate. The asset portion is called C.A.F.R.

Cryptocurrency!!!
Still money.
What is your point? lol
The thread is about the deception of our national debt, and current fiat system. Some type of exchange will always exist, but the current one in place only benefits an elite cartel.
We do have a choice not to buy into personal debt, which is a prudent choice, however the illusions of national debt is a myth.
Again to answer your question some type of money will exist, what type? Who knows, however the current system is corrupt.
They only present the debt to the public, which of course pays interest, which then they trick us into payingfor it. A debt cycle where the assets are kept in other books.
So recognize that we are as fake as the fake money.
True money, real currency is fungible. Fiat is not in anyway fungible. It is faith based.
Money is the most fungible thing there is. One dollar is one dollar.
I think you might be confused over what fungible means.
If you believe the Freeman spiel however your confusion becomes understandable.

Meh, go back to a time when there was no money then.
Barter your potatoes for brain surgery, see how that goes.
No holidays either.
Work sun up to sun down till you die.
It may not be a perfect system, and it has made us lazy...but I’d rather that than work and fight every waking minute just to survive.

So what do you want to replace the fiat system with?

Would like to see the abolishment of Rothschild-controlled central banks, and the all money/financial systems put back into the hands of the people of the different nations.
The end of the BIS, World Bank, and the IMF.
But then again: look what they did to Muammar Gaddafi...
How do we as a society and a planet just stop relying on this system without some kind of massive upheaval that leaves millions of people dead and society totally hooped?

In terms of financing something, crowd funding is becoming more common place.
nope, that's called personal responsibility. I have zero debt. I do not live above my means. I buy what i can afford. And here is what you miss, i said past mistakes. I have learned hard lessons in my life from my own mistakes. And that has nothing to do with this convo, except to you. The system is a rigged system and yes it can be exploited. A real system would put value on real exchange of value for individual labor within society. Equitable trade. It is actually lazy as f*** to feel exploiting people is the same as working for it. It is why real estate being turned into tradable asstes is so wrong, why corporate farming is so wrong, why bi agri is so wrong, why big pharma is so wrong. It is the cart before the horse. These are staples of life that were to become "persons" and given more rights than people. It is corporatism over people. Znd do not think for a second their exploitation of this corrupt system is evidence we need them. Big corporations are parasites, not providers or producers. Poison has more commercial value than food or medicine. Profits in housing has more value than shelter for the homeless. They do not care at all about us.

funny, because i do have money management problems from past mistakes.
So because you're irresponsible the rest of us need to alter our system of currency?
...like your home (notice how you replace your need for my skills for the "absolute" need for a loan from a bank) and your clothing and most importantly your food. You choose to go through the bank for all those privilages that used to and still rightfully belong with us, the producers. I'm a carpenter by trade, a real good one. I run huge crews using force multipliers.
That's nice. I don't have the time or inclination to build my own home. I'd rather borrow the money at minimal interest, repay it at my leisure and use the remainder for investment purposes. If it were't for banks loaning people money to acquire real estate your industry wouldn't be nearly as profitable.

Yeah, just as I suspected, you don't even know what fiat money is. The banks don't make something fiat, the fact that it's not a direct, intrinsically valued commodity does.

Have seen such videos before and they are generally half baked conspiracies that confuse fiat currency, the operational functions of central banks and modern reserve banking.
is the practice whereby a bank accepts deposits, makes loans or investments, but is required to hold reserves equal to only a fraction of its deposit liabilities.
Reserves are held as currency in the bank, or as balances in the bank's accounts at the central bank. Fractional-reserve banking is the current form of banking practiced in most countries worldwide.

Any fool can google FIAT money in a matter of seconds.
The point is that folks are being royally reamed, and that should be a red-flag to any of us.
Deflecting those concepts, into: "Well, I'm doing fine", was all you needed to write.
Can you use your sharp mind to acknowledge the problem, and look for solutions, or not?
