We now know that wealth isn't the goal that the old powers used to have. Wealth is energy...”''&lt;/br&gt;<br /> — Buckminster Fuller, 1967&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (2-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/eWILWfuRtWU?si=avddRNyzX70Uznuc&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> In his book &quot;Critical Path&quot;, Buckminster Fuller makes several statements that served as great foretelling of Bitcoin... &lt;/br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Computers will make it practical to electronify wealth distribution that accomplish the movements of goods and service that is more channeled design structures.

They're all the same. They want to keep all the gold they have while at the same time accumulate as much more as they can. If the countries these banks exist in go to war, they actually benefit. These countries need money for war so the banks loan it to them and make profit off the interest. Ford called the gold standard &quot;evil&quot; because it was controlled by a certain group of people. Ford wanted to create his own currency based on the energy produced at the newly-created Muscle Shoals hydroelectric facility.''&lt;/br&gt;<br /> — Henry Ford, 1921&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (5-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/XdCEKwlMXvM?si=r6HMH2NcM3x9eplh&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> Ford was also the one responsible for this famous quote:&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &quot;It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.&quot;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Elon Musk: Energy Is the True Currency ==<br /> <br /> &quot;Energy is the true currency.

Put enough grit together over eons of time and consciousness emerges. Valdimir Verdnasky proposed the concepts of the Biosphere and Noosphere ([https://monoskop.org/images/5/59/Vernadsky_WI_1945_The_Biosphere_and_the_Noosphere.pdf PDF]) which stood in diametric opposition to gritology. Verdnasky felt that everything starts with consciousness. (You might think of it as the [[Logos]].) From consciousness, energy patterns emerge. Followed by matter. Then geochemistry and, ultimately, biological life—the biosphere. The noosphere emerges as the biosphere thinks. The elevation of calories into the thinking process creates reinforcing cycles and gradually becomes more powerful. You might think of it the mixture (and evolution) of civilization and technology.<br /> <br /> This video uses copper coins created by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 3rd century BCE to illustrate how money is a way of storing the energy of human creativity. A spectacular invention. Wealth is the capacity for the ongoing generation of human creativity. Building wealthy systems is our primary aim and ultimate meaning.

As cybercommerce begins, it will lead inevitably to cybermoney. This new form of money will reset the odds, reducing the capacity of the world’s nation-states to determine who becomes a Sovereign Individual. A crucial part of this change will come about because of the effect of information technology in liberating the holders of wealth from expropriation through inflation. Soon, you will pay for almost any transaction over the Net the same time you place it, using cybercash. This new digital form of money is destined to play a pivotal role in cybercommerce. It will consist of encrypted sequences of multihundred-digit prime numbers. Unique, anonymous, and verifiable, this money will accommodate the largest transactions. It will also be divisible into the tiniest fraction of value. It will be tradable at a keystroke in a multi-trillion-dollar wholesale market without borders.” <br /> <br /> “New technologies will allow the holders of wealth to bypass the national monopolies that have issued and regulated money in the modern period. [...] Their importance for controlling the world’s wealth will be transcended by mathematical algorithms that have no physical existence. In the new millennium, cybermoney controlled by private markets will supersede fiat money issued by governments. Only the poor will be victims of inflation and ensuing collapses into deflation that are consequences of the artificial leverage which fiat money injects into the economy.” <br /> <br /> '''Related points from the book (paraphrased/summarized from widely referenced sections:'''<br /> <br /> Cybermoney would be denationalized, private-market controlled, and resistant to government inflation/debasement or easy seizure/taxation because of strong cryptography and the borderless nature of cyberspace. Individuals could shift out of depreciating national currencies easily.<br /> <br /> It would enable true cybercommerce outside national jurisdictions, with payments in cybercurrency, profits in cyberbanks, and many transactions hard to tax.<br /> <br /> Paper/fiat money would linger mainly for the poor or less tech-savvy, while high-value transactions moved to privatized digital forms secured by mathematical (prime-number-based encryption) properties that make counterfeiting extremely difficult. <br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Fidelity: Grounding Bitcoin to Reality ==<br /> <br /> Manager for Fidelity explains how Proof-of-Work grounds Bitcoin to reality.&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (3-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-media-max-width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;NEW: $4.9 Trillion Fidelity Asset Manager Chris Kuiper is BULLISH on &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;#Bitcoin&lt;/a&gt; and says Proof of Work is &amp;quot;mind blowing&amp;quot; 🤯 &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/WS2bVC35hv&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/WS2bVC35hv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Simply Bitcoin (@SimplyBitcoinTV) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/SimplyBitcoinTV/status/1880642604318204404?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;January 18, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> == The Exit Manual: Removing Fiat as Intermediary between Your Labor Energy and the Energy of What You Actual Want ==<br /> <br /> Manager for Fidelity explains how Proof-of-Work grounds Bitcoin to reality.&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (11-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/wwGcsxyQvyU?si=9CxXLOfWTY1aE9cC&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> == Anchoring Bitcoin to the Real World ==<br /> <br /> Use of energy—combined with independent confirmation of time—is the key to anchoring Bitcoin's digital computation to the real world.&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (29-minute video)<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-media-max-width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Bitcoin explained by &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/jackmallers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;@JackMallers&lt;/a&gt; in 30 minutes &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/4zZymxy837&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/4zZymxy837&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Documenting ₿itcoin 📄 (@DocumentingBTC) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/DocumentingBTC/status/1876289701369524513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;January 6, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> == The World Is Being Revalued in Terms of Energy ==<br /> <br /> Bitcoin is a protocol that exists outside of all current measures of value.&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (12-minute video)<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-media-max-width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Your Home is Down 99% Over the Last 10 Years&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;w/ &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/JeffBooth?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;@JeffBooth&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/Breedlove22?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;@Breedlove22&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/lACvWd4vt7&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/lACvWd4vt7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; The &amp;quot;What is Money?&amp;quot; Show (@WhatisMoneyShow) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/WhatisMoneyShow/status/1921964490637078830?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;May 12, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> == Space Force Major Jason Lowery: Bitcoin for Defense of Sovereignty ==<br /> <br /> Proof of work turns the global scale electric power grid into the base layer of the computer.&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (1-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-media-max-width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Bitcoin transforms the tech stack: Proof of Work turns the global power grid into a massive base-layer computer.

The book delves into Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins, framing it as an immutable, scarce resource that redefines economic systems by existing outside human control, akin to a natural law. Bitcoin is portrayed as a digital embodiment of time and effort—akin to a weightless, absolute element that resists inflation and wasteful consumption inherent in fiat systems. With a journey spanning economics, philosophy, and game theory, it is argued that Bitcoin’s limited supply cap counters the inefficiencies of perpetual debt and environmental degradation, offering a hopeful vision of hyperbitcoinization where energy, harnessed and secured via Bitcoin’s protocol, becomes the bedrock of a new, civilized society.<br /> |-<br /> | <br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Related Page == <br /> <br /> [[Bitcoin Wastes Energy]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Bitcoin-Nav}}</div>

They're all the same. They want to keep all the gold they have while at the same time accumulate as much more as they can. If the countries these banks exist in go to war, they actually benefit. These countries need money for war so the banks loan it to them and make profit off the interest. Ford called the gold standard &quot;evil&quot; because it was controlled by a certain group of people. Ford wanted to create his own currency based on the energy produced at the newly-created Muscle Shoals hydroelectric facility.''&lt;/br&gt;<br /> — Henry Ford, 1921&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (5-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/XdCEKwlMXvM?si=r6HMH2NcM3x9eplh&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> Ford was also the one responsible for this famous quote:&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &quot;It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.&quot;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Elon Musk: Energy Is the True Currency ==<br /> <br /> &quot;Energy is the true currency.

Verdnasky felt that everything starts with consciousness. (You might think of it as the [[Logos]].) From consciousness, energy patterns emerge. Followed by matter. Then geochemistry and, ultimately, biological life—the biosphere. The noosphere emerges as the biosphere thinks. The elevation of calories into the thinking process creates reinforcing cycles and gradually becomes more powerful. You might think of it the mixture (and evolution) of civilization and technology.<br /> <br /> This video uses copper coins created by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 3rd century BCE to illustrate how money is a way of storing the energy of human creativity.

As cybercommerce begins, it will lead inevitably to cybermoney. This new form of money will reset the odds, reducing the capacity of the world’s nation-states to determine who becomes a Sovereign Individual. A crucial part of this change will come about because of the effect of information technology in liberating the holders of wealth from expropriation through inflation. Soon, you will pay for almost any transaction over the Net the same time you place it, using cybercash. This new digital form of money is destined to play a pivotal role in cybercommerce. It will consist of encrypted sequences of multihundred-digit prime numbers. Unique, anonymous, and verifiable, this money will accommodate the largest transactions. It will also be divisible into the tiniest fraction of value. It will be tradable at a keystroke in a multi-trillion-dollar wholesale market without borders.” <br /> <br /> “New technologies will allow the holders of wealth to bypass the national monopolies that have issued and regulated money in the modern period. [...] Their importance for controlling the world’s wealth will be transcended by mathematical algorithms that have no physical existence. In the new millennium, cybermoney controlled by private markets will supersede fiat money issued by governments. Only the poor will be victims of inflation and ensuing collapses into deflation that are consequences of the artificial leverage which fiat money injects into the economy.” <br /> <br /> '''Related points from the book (paraphrased/summarized from widely referenced sections:'''<br /> <br /> Cybermoney would be denationalized, private-market controlled, and resistant to government inflation/debasement or easy seizure/taxation because of strong cryptography and the borderless nature of cyberspace.

The book delves into Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins, framing it as an immutable, scarce resource that redefines economic systems by existing outside human control, akin to a natural law. Bitcoin is portrayed as a digital embodiment of time and effort—akin to a weightless, absolute element that resists inflation and wasteful consumption inherent in fiat systems. With a journey spanning economics, philosophy, and game theory, it is argued that Bitcoin’s limited supply cap counters the inefficiencies of perpetual debt and environmental degradation, offering a hopeful vision of hyperbitcoinization where energy, harnessed and secured via Bitcoin’s protocol, becomes the bedrock of a new, civilized society.<br /> |-<br /> | <br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Related Page == <br /> <br /> [[Bitcoin Wastes Energy]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Bitcoin-Nav}}</div>

They're all the same. They want to keep all the gold they have while at the same time accumulate as much more as they can. If the countries these banks exist in go to war, they actually benefit. These countries need money for war so the banks loan it to them and make profit off the interest. Ford called the gold standard &quot;evil&quot; because it was controlled by a certain group of people. Ford wanted to create his own currency based on the energy produced at the newly-created Muscle Shoals hydroelectric facility.''&lt;/br&gt;<br /> — Henry Ford, 1921&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (5-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/XdCEKwlMXvM?si=r6HMH2NcM3x9eplh&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> Ford was also the one responsible for this famous quote:&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &quot;It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.&quot;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Elon Musk: Energy Is the True Currency ==<br /> <br /> &quot;Energy is the true currency.

Put enough grit together over eons of time and consciousness emerges. Valdimir Verdnasky proposed the concepts of the Biosphere and Noosphere ([https://monoskop.org/images/5/59/Vernadsky_WI_1945_The_Biosphere_and_the_Noosphere.pdf PDF]) which stood in diametric opposition to gritology. Verdnasky felt that everything starts with consciousness. (You might think of it as the [[Logos]].) From consciousness, energy patterns emerge. Followed by matter. Then geochemistry and, ultimately, biological life—the biosphere. The noosphere emerges as the biosphere thinks. The elevation of calories into the thinking process creates reinforcing cycles and gradually becomes more powerful. You might think of it the mixture (and evolution) of civilization and technology.<br /> <br /> This video uses copper coins created by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 3rd century BCE to illustrate how money is a way of storing the energy of human creativity. A spectacular invention. Wealth is the capacity for the ongoing generation of human creativity. Building wealthy systems is our primary aim and ultimate meaning.

The book delves into Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins, framing it as an immutable, scarce resource that redefines economic systems by existing outside human control, akin to a natural law. Bitcoin is portrayed as a digital embodiment of time and effort—akin to a weightless, absolute element that resists inflation and wasteful consumption inherent in fiat systems. With a journey spanning economics, philosophy, and game theory, it is argued that Bitcoin’s limited supply cap counters the inefficiencies of perpetual debt and environmental degradation, offering a hopeful vision of hyperbitcoinization where energy, harnessed and secured via Bitcoin’s protocol, becomes the bedrock of a new, civilized society.<br /> |-<br /> | <br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Related Page == <br /> <br /> [[Bitcoin Wastes Energy]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Bitcoin-Nav}}</div>

They're all the same. They want to keep all the gold they have while at the same time accumulate as much more as they can. If the countries these banks exist in go to war, they actually benefit. These countries need money for war so the banks loan it to them and make profit off the interest. Ford called the gold standard &quot;evil&quot; because it was controlled by a certain group of people. Ford wanted to create his own currency based on the energy produced at the newly-created Muscle Shoals hydroelectric facility.''&lt;/br&gt;<br /> — Henry Ford, 1921&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (5-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/XdCEKwlMXvM?si=r6HMH2NcM3x9eplh&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> Ford was also the one responsible for this famous quote:&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &quot;It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.&quot;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Elon Musk: Energy Is the True Currency ==<br /> <br /> &quot;Energy is the true currency.

Put enough grit together over eons of time and consciousness emerges. Valdimir Verdnasky proposed the concepts of the Biosphere and Noosphere ([https://monoskop.org/images/5/59/Vernadsky_WI_1945_The_Biosphere_and_the_Noosphere.pdf PDF]) which stood in diametric opposition to gritology. Verdnasky felt that everything starts with consciousness. (You might think of it as the [[Logos]].) From consciousness, energy patterns emerge. Followed by matter. Then geochemistry and, ultimately, biological life—the biosphere. The noosphere emerges as the biosphere thinks. The elevation of calories into the thinking process creates reinforcing cycles and gradually becomes more powerful. You might think of it the mixture (and evolution) of civilization and technology.<br /> <br /> This video uses copper coins created by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 3rd century BCE to illustrate how money is a way of storing the energy of human creativity. A spectacular invention. Wealth is the capacity for the ongoing generation of human creativity. Building wealthy systems is our primary aim and ultimate meaning.

The book delves into Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins, framing it as an immutable, scarce resource that redefines economic systems by existing outside human control, akin to a natural law. Bitcoin is portrayed as a digital embodiment of time and effort—akin to a weightless, absolute element that resists inflation and wasteful consumption inherent in fiat systems. With a journey spanning economics, philosophy, and game theory, it is argued that Bitcoin’s limited supply cap counters the inefficiencies of perpetual debt and environmental degradation, offering a hopeful vision of hyperbitcoinization where energy, harnessed and secured via Bitcoin’s protocol, becomes the bedrock of a new, civilized society.<br /> |-<br /> | <br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Related Page == <br /> <br /> [[Bitcoin Wastes Energy]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Bitcoin-Nav}}</div>

They're all the same. They want to keep all the gold they have while at the same time accumulate as much more as they can. If the countries these banks exist in go to war, they actually benefit. These countries need money for war so the banks loan it to them and make profit off the interest. Ford called the gold standard &quot;evil&quot; because it was controlled by a certain group of people. Ford wanted to create his own currency based on the energy produced at the newly-created Muscle Shoals hydroelectric facility.''&lt;/br&gt;<br /> — Henry Ford, 1921&lt;/br&gt;<br /> (5-minute video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/XdCEKwlMXvM?si=r6HMH2NcM3x9eplh&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> Ford was also the one responsible for this famous quote:&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &quot;It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.&quot;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Elon Musk: Energy Is the True Currency ==<br /> <br /> &quot;Energy is the true currency.

Put enough grit together over eons of time and consciousness emerges. Valdimir Verdnasky proposed the concepts of the Biosphere and Noosphere ([https://monoskop.org/images/5/59/Vernadsky_WI_1945_The_Biosphere_and_the_Noosphere.pdf PDF]) which stood in diametric opposition to gritology. Verdnasky felt that everything starts with consciousness. (You might think of it as the [[Logos]].) From consciousness, energy patterns emerge. Followed by matter. Then geochemistry and, ultimately, biological life—the biosphere. The noosphere emerges as the biosphere thinks. The elevation of calories into the thinking process creates reinforcing cycles and gradually becomes more powerful. You might think of it the mixture (and evolution) of civilization and technology.<br /> <br /> This video uses copper coins created by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 3rd century BCE to illustrate how money is a way of storing the energy of human creativity. A spectacular invention. Wealth is the capacity for the ongoing generation of human creativity. Building wealthy systems is our primary aim and ultimate meaning.

The book delves into Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins, framing it as an immutable, scarce resource that redefines economic systems by existing outside human control, akin to a natural law. Bitcoin is portrayed as a digital embodiment of time and effort—akin to a weightless, absolute element that resists inflation and wasteful consumption inherent in fiat systems. With a journey spanning economics, philosophy, and game theory, it is argued that Bitcoin’s limited supply cap counters the inefficiencies of perpetual debt and environmental degradation, offering a hopeful vision of hyperbitcoinization where energy, harnessed and secured via Bitcoin’s protocol, becomes the bedrock of a new, civilized society.<br /> |-<br /> | <br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Related Page == <br /> <br /> [[Bitcoin Wastes Energy]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Bitcoin-Nav}}</div>

<p>Calebeaton: /* TESTING AREA */</p> <hr /> <div>__NOTOC__<br /> [[Image:PCM-CalebEaton.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Caleb Eaton&lt;br /&gt;Tyler/Longview, East Texas]]'''Caleb is a Personal Contact Minister in [[Texas]]'''<br /> <br /> Contact info:<br /> <br /> * email: eathawk ãt gmail døt com<br /> * Phone: 9Ø3 — 4eight4 — 4972<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Background==<br /> <br /> ===Religion===<br /> I was raised in World Wide Church of God—Sabbath keepers and no unclean meats—so I started out with a slightly different view of the world. After being &quot;disfellowshipped&quot; due to a church split, my family eventually moved on to mainstream churchanity with a fondness for all things charismatic. In the days before that kind of thing existed on cable, my dad bought one of the first 12-foot satellite dishes in town so he could bathe our home 24/7 in Robert Tilton's Word of Faith and Jim Baker's PTL Club. I had a tendency to have higher standards and more self-righteousness than anyone in youth groups, so I lost interest in church attendance during college. I grew evermore disenchanted with the entire religious scene and left it all behind after working 4.5 years as publications coordinator for the largest &quot;Christian&quot; camp in the U.S. I gave them 6 months notice that Y2K was my last day. At that point I started doing freelance graphics work out of my house where I was a comfortable hermit until discovering HHC in 2011.<br /> <br /> ===Health===<br /> This is another subject for which I often found myself at odds with churchanity. As you read below, understand that all these points made me the exception to the rule where the population of mainstream churches is no different than the general population in that they'd rather trust doctors (priests in white coats) than God (which involves taking responsibility for one's own health).<br /> <br /> :* Born 1967 without an MD. Same with my four siblings. Dad performed the highly complex job of &quot;catcher&quot; without the benefit of 8 years higher education brainwashing. Amazing! BIRTH HAPPENS. <br /> :* Never had a vaccination. Yet somehow I thrive like the birds and bees that don't get vaccinated either. Gasp! IMMUNITY HAPPENS. <br /> :* Labeled by MDs as a &quot;vegetable&quot; at 15 months of age after falling off the bed and being paralyzed on my right side. My parents were told to just get used to it. Yet today no one knows unless I tell the story. Blasphemy! HEALING HAPPENS. <br /> :* Grew up watching people come to my Grandpa (an old codger, self-taught, unlicensed &quot;chiropractor&quot;) for help after the priests in white coats sent them home to get their affairs in order. Some still live today, decades later. Shazam! LIFE HAPPENS. <br /> :* In 1997 I was introduced to the [http://essentialoilsage.com medicinal power of essential oils] and the fact that they are mentioned more than 500 times in the Bible. (Funny how I had attended church all my life and yet I was oblivious to one of the Bible's biggest, most practical subjects.)<br /> <br /> ===Politics===<br /> I was a delegate to the Texas Republican convention in 1988 and became a Rush devotee pre-1990 when he was still doing animal rights updates and caller abortions. I started questioning Rush's judgment when he bragged about going in for a root canal and instructing his dentist to do it for all teeth. (I'm convinced this was a major contributing factor behind Rush's later hearing loss.) I became seriously disenchanted with Rush (and the entire political machine) the more big-government-style solutions were offered.<br /> <br /> ==Finding HHC==<br /> I was introduced to The Living Network when a friend emailed me a link to the article [http://www.hisholychurch.org/study/gods/cog1mvm.php Holy Matrimony vs. Marriage]. I had ignored a couple previous emails from him because I wasn't interested in anything &quot;religious.&quot; Yet the title of this article hit home because I had decided a few years previous that I would NOT get a government marriage license. I didn't want the unnecessary third-party intrusion into that sacred relationship. Although the decision was made for moral reasons, it went against all the mainstream churchian institutions that I know of. But here was an article that distinguished the difference between the licensed and unlicensed relationships. And did so with an entirely new view of scriptures that stripped away the mythology and mysticism and put them into the realm of practical everyday-life reality.<br /> <br /> I've methodically devoured [http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/Audio HHC-related MP3s] ever since.

Homeschool co-ops are a great resource for meeting other homeschool families. When you homeschool and make an effort to find other homeschoolers, you'll find a valuable new circle of friends who, bringing their unique skill sets, are ready to help you succeed. <br /> <br /> * Learn New Skills<br /> <br /> * Taking Responsibility<br /> : Taking Responsibility for training/educating your children is part of loving your neighbor. The responsibility is yours...take it by the horns! When you rely on the State for your children's education, you're actually coveting/stealing from your neighbor through the agency of a government that is willing to use violence. If you doubt this, try not paying property taxes and see what happens. <br /> <br /> * Learn What You Didn't Learn The First Time<br /> <br /> * Customize the Learning Experience for YOUR Child<br /> : Education doesn't have to be one size fits all<br /> <br /> * Limit Indoctrination by the State<br /> : When YOU train YOUR children, you're not competing with the world as much as you are for their hearts and minds. If your children are spending 6 - 8 hours a day soaking up other peoples worldview, at some point you're going to have a problem.<br /> <br /> * For More on &quot;Why Home School&quot;?

<p>Calebeaton: /* Expanding Vision &amp; Understanding */</p> <hr /> <div>Bitcoin was first brought up in [[His Holy Church|HHC]] circles on December 4, 2012 when it was valued at $13.50. The first article on the subject was posted here on December 26, 2013 at $684. As we've developed better understanding of Bitcoin, it may be correct to view the [[Original Bitcoin Article]] as perhaps 20% good old fashion wisdom mixed with 80% subject matter ignorance. <br /> <br /> Fortunately, HHC is not a top-down monolith. While some congregations rejected it, others embraced it. Some congregation ministers realized that Bitcoin donations from elders could be accepted over the Internet without praying world's governments for permission to do so as was required for the acceptance of checks, wire transfers, credit cards, and Paypal transactions.<br /> <br /> Moreover, in cases of emergencies, elders (who already had verified bank accounts, credit cards, Paypal accounts, and more) could easily receive Bitcoin from their minister and convert it to the necessary fiat currency to pay hospital bills or whatever.<br /> <br /> So the minister and the storehouse he oversees can remain separate from the [[world]] while maintaining technical proficiency to serve his congregants in an age of electronic communications. In addition, elders and their ministers who invested the time to educate themselves about the new technology of Bitcoin have been able to multiply the [[Talent|talents]] given them rather than putting them in a jar to bury where moth and rust corrupt—where inflation eats away at fiat stored in bank accounts.<br /> <br /> == Perspective ==<br /> <br /> '''$683.94''' - Number of US Dollars required to buy one bitcoin on December 26, 2013, when the [[Original Bitcoin Article]] was posted.<br /> <br /> {{Template:BitcoinPrice}}<br /> <br /> {{Template:BitcoinChart}}<br /> <br /> == Basics ==<br /> <br /> * [[What Is Money]]?<br /> * [[Denationalization|The Denationalization of Money was Predicted]]<br /> * [[Fundamental Internet Protocol]]<br /> <br /> == Common Objections and Misconceptions ==<br /> <br /> * [[Bitcoin v Gold]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Wastes Energy]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Bubble]]<br /> * [[Stupid Predictions]]<br /> * [[Hijacked|Bitcoin was Hijacked, Roger Ver, Aaron Day, etc.]]<br /> * [[Speculation]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Speed]]<br /> * [[Volatility]]<br /> * [[Inferior Technology]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Ponzi]]<br /> * [[Co-opted|Co-opted Bitcoin?]]<br /> * [[Tucker Carlson]]<br /> * [[Quantum Computing]]<br /> <br /> == Expanding Vision &amp; Understanding == <br /> <br /> * [[Energy as Money]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Reserves]]<br /> * [[Allodial Money]]<br /> * [[6102|6102 Attack]]<br /> * [[Equal Weights|Equal Weights and Measures]]<br /> * [[Deflation]]<br /> * [[Proof of Wealth]]<br /> * [[Hyperbitcoinization]]<br /> * [[Halving]]<br /> * [[Stablecoins]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin v Real Estate]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Prehistory]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Ethic]]<br /> * [[World Reserve Currency]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Dominance]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Not Crypto]]<br /> * [[Inaction Is Action]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin is Logos]]<br /> * [[Time Theft]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Resilience]]<br /> * [[Big Picture]]<br /> * [[Barter]]<br /> <br /> == Bitcoin Fixes This ==<br /> <br /> * [[The Great Taking]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and AI]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and War]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and Food]]<br /> <br /> == Bitcoin Standard Operating Procedures ==<br /> <br /> * [[BitcoinSOP1]] - Buy Bitcoin with Strike<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP2]] - Earn Bitcoin Reward Points with Fold Debit Card<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP3]] - Self-Custody with Aqua Wallet<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP4]] - Protect Your Keys<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP5]] - Hardware Wallets/Cold Storage<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP6]] - Use Your Bitcoin as Collateral for a Loan<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP7]] - Bitcoin Mining (Personal Level)<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Homework ==<br /> <br /> * [[Bitcoin Books]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Podcasts]]<br /> <br /> == Projects ==<br /> <br /> * [[Bitcoin and Christianity]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and Birth Documentation]]<br /> * [[Decentralized Peer Review and Medical Research]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and Free Speech]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Money}}<br /> <br /> {{Network}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Money]]</div>

Organisations associated with the Alliance claim to integrate a framework of responsibility into social and professional fields including law, education, climate change, labour relations, agriculture.<br /> <br /> But are they really just a part of a &quot;1984&quot; plan to fool the Winston's of the [[world]] that believe they have found an alternative when they are merely falling for a more sophisticated trap as old as [[Nimrod]] himself.<br /> <br /> [[Jordan Peterson]] and his symposium missed the essentials of what [[Moses]] was doing in [[Exodus]] which we have explained in detail and will continue to reveal.<br /> <br /> Mike Lee says that ARC is “striving to create” a “positive future filled with hope and optimism.”<br /> <br /> I cannot forget the words of 2 Peter&lt;Ref&gt;[[2 Peter 2]]:18 &quot;For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in [[bondage]]. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.&quot;&lt;/Ref&gt; that great swelling words are not enough.<br /> <br /> Lee suggests “The story of our world doesn’t have to be merely one of ongoing decline or a tense, permanent crisis.” He said. “In fact, humanity is in a better place than ever before; we have more wealth and health, more resources and capabilities. We are in a position to make our lives even better...&quot;<br /> <br /> The truth is we never had more [[debt]], more break down of the [[family]] unite, more [[divide|division]] accompanied by a decline in [[social bonds]], and more ignorance about the cultural cause of these symptoms of decline into [[The Mire]]&gt;.<br /> <br /> == Inconsistencies ==<br /> <br /> They want you to believe that &quot;The inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems –from health and financial to energy and education – are more exposed than ever amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet.&quot; <br /> <br /> But these are the same people who created those same &quot;inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions&quot; which we saw them doing through China, the world Health Organization and the media controlled and funded to create a crises and cause fear and panic in the people to justify a [[shutdown]] of the economy. The countries that did not [[shutdown]] reached herd immunity in the matter of months.<br /> <br /> They say &quot;Leaders find themselves at a historic crossroads, managing short-term pressures against medium- and long-term uncertainties&quot; but it is the very power elite that has created the &quot;historic crossroads&quot; through a debt-based banking system that has intentionally created an economic crises and this crossroads and now are using the [[Coronavirus]] to justify their [[shutdown]] of economies to their advantage.<br /> <br /> To them this created crises is &quot;'''The opportunity'''&quot; they intend to use to gain greater world power which will come at the expense of individual freedom and liberty.<br /> <br /> == The Promises ==<br /> <br /> Have we been [[groomed]] to accept [[The Great Reset]] by COVID and the Coronavirus? Did our grooming begin in this century or has it been going on for centuries?<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.&quot; [[2 Peter 2]]:19<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt; <br /> <br /> In the video &quot;Davos &amp; the Plot to Cancel Trump&quot; we share on this page you can hear people talking about Trump being a &quot;danger&quot; to their plans and a temporary aberration that will be ended in 2020. Trump is not our salvation but those who think or say they want to ''&quot;save world&quot;'' are not your salvation either and they want to get rid of Trump. What do they want to do? <br /> <br /> What is their plan? <br /> <br /> [[File:moneychange.jpg|right|259px|thumb|The Greatest Reset was when [[Jesus]] told us to [[Repent|think differently]] and take the responsibility to [[seek]] the [[Kingdom of God|government of God]] and His [[righteousness]]. When Jesus fired the [[moneychangers]] as king of Judea he was resetting that government. When he [[commanded]] his [[disciples]] to make the people gather in the [[Tens|tens, hundreds and thousands]] in order to learn to share as [[John the Baptist]] said for us to do we had a chance to become [[doers]] of the word. &lt;Br&gt;When he ''took the kingdom'' from the [[Pharisees]] and [[appoint]]ed to His [[Apostles]] there was a shift in both the economy and politics of the people which [[Power to change|changed]] to course of history and mankind.

They are the rulers of the world who exercise authority one over. You need to exercise the [[righteousness]] of Christ and learn what it means to seek the [[kingdom of God]] and His righteousness by loving one another in the &quot;[[tens]]&quot; Christ [[commanded]] us to organize ourselves into.<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> '''&quot;As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons.

He could see the craziness from the beginning on YouTube Time 43}} <br /> <br /> From the beginning, the numbers did not add up concerning this pandemic which we have reported on our [[Coronavirus]]'' page. <br /> <br /> Experts who never got on the news were saying something quite different than [[Media Madness|media]] &quot;experts&quot; were telling us. <br /> <br /> Mainstream media spread panic and fear daily on every channel and screen.<br /> <br /> There were few people that were not swept up in the hysteria and even less who suspected there were other forces at play behind the scenes.<br /> <br /> &quot;Trump haters&quot; — leftists/[[socialist]]s/[[Communism|communist]]s/[[Ideological subversion|Marxists]] including the ''Black Lives Matter'' organization and the media and politicians — over-reacting to the death of [[George Floyd]]. Of course, Antifa and a myriad of special interest groups wanting one agenda or another contributed their own chaos to the mix.<br /> <br /> As I watched a few Michael Matt broadcasts, I took note of some of his comments and perceptions...<br /> <br /> Watch &quot;COVID19: Globalism's Perfect Storm&quot; on YouTube<br /> https://youtu.be/oPrg_lhNYRM<br /> <br /> While Michael Matt admires the actions and stance Trump seems to have taken, I believe the faithful know that our salvation lies elsewhere. But presidents and prime ministers have their roles to play. <br /> <br /> If we will humbly [[repent]] and become [[doers]] of the word, adhering to what Jesus [[commanded]] God will add the miracles we will need in the days ahead.<br /> <br /> Michael Matt mentions the figure of 98% recovery back in April. That number is based on the number of people who get COVID and produce symptoms serious enough to go to a doctor and be tested. Since we know that at least half do not produce such symptoms, the recovery rate is at least 99% or better.<br /> <br /> He was questioning the need to &quot;euthanize the economy&quot; while we wait for a vaccine from Gates and Fauci who have both distorted the truth and are &quot;immunity deniers&quot;.<br /> <br /> THE GREAT RESET from Davos and their plan&lt;Br&gt;<br /> https://youtu.be/sb9jRqgDOJ8<br /> <br /> “The Great Reset” may be the largest twin economic bubbles in history including global debt and the promises of government.<br /> <br /> {{#ev:youtube|sb9jRqgDOJ8|300|right|THE GREAT RESET: Davos &amp; the Plot to Cancel Trump. From the Editor’s Desk, Michael Matt takes a look at some good news regarding the Covid recovery rate before exploring what’s really going on with the global pandemic. &lt;br&gt;<br /> To understand this, he takes us to Switzerland—to the World Economic Forum—where the movers and shakers of the [[world]] have been meeting on a regular basis, especially since January 2020, to plan ‘The Great Reset’ at the Davos 2021 Summit in January. <br /> <br /> Using multiple video clips, Michael shows how everyone from Soros, to Gates, to Schwab, to Al Gore and the Secretary-General of the United Nations are only too eager to admit that Covid offers them a rare opportunity to reset the world economy, population control, global commerce, climate change regulation, education and the UN Sustainable Development Goals in order to “reorder,” “reimagine” and fundamentally transform every aspect of life as we know it. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Is this the rest of the story behind the Russia hoax, Ukraine, the phony impeachment and all the other deep state attempts to cripple Trump’s efforts to ‘make America great again&quot;?&lt;br&gt;<br /> The folks at Davos want a new [[world]] order, and the only thing standing in their way at the moment is US. And if they get their New Normal, nothing will be the same ever again...unless, perhaps, if Donald Trump wins in November.&lt;br&gt;Time 25:18}} <br /> <br /> He is willing to ask how, why, and &quot;what is the end game&quot; and provides a long list of globalists including Pope Francis. There are others, without a doubt.<br /> <br /> His message of how &quot;ridiculous&quot; all this is and his protest that it needs to stop by April 30th has clearly gone unheeded by the principalities in high places and the powers of darkness.<br /> <br /> == Public vs Private ==<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].&quot; [[Ephesians 6]]:12 <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> I would love to have a conversation with Michael about the danger of practicing rituals of religions over the [[righteousness]] of God. We need to discuss the [[covetous practices]] of this [[world]] and the [[Bite|biting]] of one another over the charity and love of the practice of [[Pure Religion]].<br /> <br /> And Michael is possibly right about the influence of the Globalists in perpetuating the panic. He does cling to the idea of needing a &quot;Catholic pope&quot; but his perception is uncanny. I cannot imagine he is seeing what he is seeing without the help of God. He should read our article on [https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Fathers|&quot;call no man father&quot;].<br /> <br /> Armed with the knowledge of the difference between [[public religion]] and [[pure religion]], he may see [[the way]] of the [[early Church]] and become the remnant of that institution.<br /> <br /> [[Socialism]] is the [[religion]] you get when you have no [[pure religion]]. People thinking they [[believer|believe in Jesus]] and claiming to live by [[faith]] actually live by [[force]] because they depend on the [[public religion]] of the [[State]] instead of living by the [[righteousness]] of the &quot;[[pure religion]]&quot; of [[Christ]]. Their '''[[Benefactors]]''' are the rulers of the [[world]] who do not [[exercise authority|exercise]] love and [[charity]] but [[force]] and [[exercise authority|authority]]. <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;[[Public religion]]&lt;Br&gt;<br /> vs&lt;Br&gt;<br /> [[Pure Religion]]&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> One major problem with [[modern Christians]] who have their ''rituals and rites'' but are too often not doing what Christ said to do.<br /> <br /> The '''[[Corban]]''' system set up by the government of Judea condemned by Christ was ''making the word of God to none effect''. It was doing this because the &quot;sacrifices&quot; of the people were ''compelled'' through a [[socialist]] type government of [[Herod]] and the [[Pharisees]]. Their [[free bread]] system of [[welfare]] like [[Rome]]'s was a &quot;table [that had] become a '''[[snare]]''' before them: and that which should have been for their [[welfare]]... [had] become a trap.&quot; [[Psalms 69]]:22. <br /> https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Corban<br /> <br /> The [[early Church]] was [[put out]] of that [[covet]]ous system when they received the [[[[Baptism]]]] of Jesus.<br /> <br /> All [[modern Christians]] have some need of [[repent]]ance because of their [[covetous practices]]. Those practices have made us &quot;'''[[merchandise]]'''&quot; as Peter predicted, empowering the Globalists. It has cursed our children by the same means.<br /> <br /> They need to become that [[network]] of [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]] according to the [[righteousness]] of Christ and provide a [[communion]] of daily bread through [[love]] rather than [[force]], [[fear]], and [[fealty]] to the globalist. <br /> https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Daily_ministration<br /> <br /> == Lack of knowledge ==<br /> <br /> People are not just dependent upon the government to provide for the needy of their society but even for the information, education, and the knowledge that has allowed for a [[strong delusion]].<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.&quot; [[Hosea 4]]:6<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> More than a half a century ago while studying in the seminary, learning the rituals and rites of my professors, I was known to ask questions. Not everyone could give me answers that would satisfy my prayer to ''know the truth''. There were those among them, who did share what they had learned on their own personal journey concerning the one true faith. What they shared was not commonly disclosed to the general population. Many of the things they shared would take on more meaning over time.<br /> <br /> Today, truth is often more allusive and we are bombarded with lies and deception every day from every direction. This has been going on for decades and maybe even centuries. Humility would dictate that we should look at all things anew.<br /> <br /> What everyone who claims to be Christian will probably need is a [[network]] of souls who seek to live by [[faith]] and [[love]] according to the ''righteousness of God'' and the [[perfect law of liberty]]. They will have the eyes to see and ears to hear the truth which are only gifts of God. Only those people can honestly ''check things out'', research and find out what is the truth, and then report back to the rest of the people in that [[network]] of [[free assemblies]].<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.&quot; Isaiah 48:6 <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> That is probably why Jesus &quot;[[commanded]]&quot; that His followers be organized in [[tens|just such a network]].<br /> <br /> They were going to have to survive both hard times and corrupt government and the globalist of the day too.<br /> https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Commanded<br /> <br /> <br /> == Unheard cries ==<br /> <br /> '''[[Religion]]''' was defined 200 years ago as “Real piety in practice[1], consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men”[2], and it is simply how a nation, a people, or a society takes care of its needy and therefore how they serve the God of Heaven or [[gods]] of the world and they have chosen for themselves.[3]<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;[[Go and cry]] unto the [[gods]] which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.&quot; [[Judges 10]]:14 <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Over time, [[religion]] was redefined by men to mean &quot;what you think about a supreme being&quot;.<br /> https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Religion<br /> <br /> [[employ|Slavery]] and [[bondage]] are still a part of the [[world]]. If you do not [[love]] the real Jesus and choose or neglect to become a [[doer]] of His word you will not only become [[merchandise]] but will also [[curse children|curse your children]].<br /> https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Merchandise<br /> <br /> The greatest reset of history was when [[Christ]] took the [[kingdom of God]] from the [[Pharisees]] who were ''making the word of God to none effect'' with their [[Corban]] and [[appoint]]ed it to His [[called out]] the [[ekklesia]], a.k.a. [[His Church]].<br /> <br /> We were never to return to the [[bondage]] of [[Egypt]] again but through the [[covetous practices]] of a [[socialist]] [[welfare]] state and the failure of the [[Modern Church]] people have.<br /> <br /> It is time to [[repent]] and do what Christ [[commanded]].</div>

<p>Calebeaton: /* The Power Law and Other Way Bitcoin Hits $1 Million */</p> <hr /> <div>This page's purpose is to help people move beyond a short-term view of bitcoin where they see every new high as the top of the bubble that will eventually pop, therefore validating their apathy about starting earlier. A larger, long-term understanding of the potential of bitcoin helps one see that there is no top. Now is always the best time to buy bitcoin! The abbreviation for this is<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> '''Everything divided by 21 million'''&lt;/br&gt;<br /> or&lt;/br&gt;<br /> '''∞/21M'''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> One simple way to grasp how this can occur is to consider the value of the US Dollar hyperinflated to the point of needing wheelbarrow loads to buy a loaf of bread. <br /> <br /> Another easy conceptualization is to consider that there are roughly 60 million millionaires. If (when) they realize that bitcoin is a far better platform for preservation of wealth, and also for liquidity, than such things as real estate, art and gold, that alone automatically sends bitcoin to $3 million each.<br /> <br /> But there is much deeper reasoning involved for those who embrace the power of bitcoin and the positive effects a bitcoin standard will have on society.<br /> <br /> == Central Banks Discussing Hyperbitcoinization ==<br /> <br /> Samson Mow, creator of AQUA wallet, is invited by the central bank of an unspecified country to have a serious discussion about hyperbitcoinization. <br /> (30-second video)&lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-media-max-width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;You’re not bullish enough. &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/zLMgQC3uMI&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/zLMgQC3uMI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Samson Mow (@Excellion) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/Excellion/status/1898477585019093214?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;March 8, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;JUST IN: FORMER PAYPAL CEO SAYS &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/hashtag/BITCOIN?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;#BITCOIN&lt;/a&gt; WILL &amp;quot;LEAPFROG ALL NETWORKS FOR MONEY IN 2025&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;IF YOU&amp;#39;RE A DEV, YOU WON&amp;#39;T EVEN CONSIDER BUILDING ON SOMETHING ELSE.&amp;quot; 🔥 &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/j45XnwIsCl&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/j45XnwIsCl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/pete_rizzo_/status/1912244884351615419?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;April 15, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> == The Power Law and Other Way Bitcoin Hits $1 Million ==<br /> <br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/3Ss6uDqS2-A?si=In0oUfAjtKsQ4rQY&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> '''See [https://charts.bitbo.io/index/ Power Law Charts]'''<br /> <br /> <br /> == Three Paths to Bitcoin Going Hyperbolic ==<br /> <br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;YOU DO NOT NEED THE DOLLAR TO COLLAPSE. &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/7l6bGjcV5U&quot;&gt;https://t.co/7l6bGjcV5U&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Cory Klippsten 🦢 Swan.com (@CorySwan) &lt;a href=&quot;https://x.com/CorySwan/status/2098488697364635658?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;September 11, 2026&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.x.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; <br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> == Bitcoin Price Predictions Based on Sound Reasoning ==<br /> <br /> * $220K - [https://x.com/ZinedHodl/status/1889485624970805248 by close of Q1 2025]<br /> * $250K - [https://x.com/Vivek4real_/status/1900545074972217444 By end of 2025]<br /> * $500K - [https://x.com/Vivek4real_/status/1863147765884178850/photo/1 Based on 3 previous bitcoin cycles]<br /> * $500K - [https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1895118417973387638 $1 trillion Standard Chartered Bank: $500,000 before Trump leaves office]<br /> * $700K - [https://x.com/kyle_chasse/status/1882309501828964685 BlackRock CEO: Bitcoin reasonable hedge against instability of countries]<br /> * $745K - [https://x.com/Vivek4real_/status/1893911025319113208 Billionaire and Pantera Capital CEO]<br /> * $850K - [https://x.com/Vivek4real_/status/1920814473935200386 Billionaire Max Keiser: Bitcoin should achieve parity with gold this cycle]<br /> * $900K - [https://x.com/Croesus_BTC/status/1869042133094854699 Blackrock officially recommends a 2% allocation to Bitcoin]<br /> * $1M - [https://x.com/SimplyBitcoinTV/status/1912548060770758723 by early 2027 - peer-reviewed study]<br /> * $1M - [https://x.com/TheBitcoinConf/status/1900181507001446905 Largest asset by September 2026].

The book delves into Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins, framing it as an immutable, scarce resource that redefines economic systems by existing outside human control, akin to a natural law. Bitcoin is portrayed as a digital embodiment of time and effort—akin to a weightless, absolute element that resists inflation and wasteful consumption inherent in fiat systems. With a journey spanning economics, philosophy, and game theory, it is argued that Bitcoin’s limited supply cap counters the inefficiencies of perpetual debt and environmental degradation, offering a hopeful vision of hyperbitcoinization where energy, harnessed and secured via Bitcoin’s protocol, becomes the bedrock of a new, civilized society.<br /> |-<br /> | <br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> ----<br /> Related Page: [[Deflation]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Bitcoin-Nav}}</div>

<p>Calebeaton: /* Banker Wars */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:moneynot.JPG‎|link=http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/RealMoney|300px|Center|thumb|'''Stuff Posing As Money''' - '''[http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/RealMoney &lt;Br&gt;Not Real Money]''' but used as if it was money. Real money must have &quot;real&quot; value not merely an imagined value or hoped value alone. &lt;Br&gt;: '''“All of the perplexities, confusion, and distress in America arises, not from the defects of the Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.”''' - John Adams, 1820. Understanding the [[Federal Reserve]] and [[Woodrow Wilson]] may have value in understanding the effect of using '''notes for money''' including a ''three party note'' system based on debt.&lt;Br&gt;&quot;Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognised as its most sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.&quot;&lt;Ref&gt;<br /> William Lyon Mackenzie King &lt;Br&gt;<br /> http://chatna.com/author/kingmackenzie.htm&lt;Br&gt;<br /> http://www.collectionscanada.ca/primeministers/h4-3250-e.html&lt;Br&gt;<br /> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lyon_Mackenzie_King&lt;/Ref&gt;&lt;Br&gt;Is this &quot;[[filthy lucre]] of graft and corruption and the &quot;dirty money&quot; that appeared in [[Egypt]] when [[Israel]] went into [[Bondage of Egypt|bondage]] in [[Genesis 47]].]]<br /> <br /> == Real money ==<br /> <br /> : '''“All of the perplexities, confusion, and distress in America arises, not from the defects of the Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.”''' - John Adams, 1820.<br /> <br /> '''Federal Reserve Notes''' are notes. <br /> <br /> That seems obvious and would go without saying accept that for centuries [[Federal_Reserve#Cashless_Society|&quot;notes&quot; were not considered to be cash]]. If that meaning of the word was true we would virtually live in a ''cashless society'' and have for almost a half a century. Yes there was some coin in circulation but they presented a minor present in what circulated as &quot;money&quot; and ''coins of substance'' was disappearing from use since the 1960's.<br /> <br /> '''The changing of the meaning of words''' may change ideas and ideologies, and in turn change the way we think. But there are ''[[Natural Law|fundamental laws of Nature]]'' in existence in this '''''cause and effect universe''''' where we live that do not change and are not subject to our opinion. By [[That word|changing the meaning of words the mind of mankind can be altered]] and his lack of knowledge of the truth may make him vulnerable and subject. This is why the willingness to [[repent]] is so important. Repenting is the &quot;changing of the mind&quot; which often requires an almost spiritual humility which we have lacked since first eating of the &quot;[[Tree of knowledge]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Lacking value ===<br /> <br /> Notes may be tendered as a legal or binding offer to discharge a debt but they lack the power of present value required in the natural law to produce a true and actual transactions where the value of things is exchanged.<br /> <br /> The most ''insidious''&lt;Ref&gt;treacherous; crafty. &quot;tangible proof of an insidious alliance factor&quot;&lt;/Ref&gt; is the presence of the ''third party'' which includes the issuer of the note. <br /> <br /> Three party notes create a surety and cannot pay a debt but only discharge debt.&lt;Ref name=&quot;stanek&quot;&gt;“There is a distinction between a 'debt discharged' and a debt 'paid'. When discharged the debt still exists, though divested of its character as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge. Something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subject to its disability incident to the discharge. <br /> <br /> The fact that it carries something which may be consideration for a new promise to pay, so as to make an otherwise worthless promise a legal obligation, makes it the subject of transfer by assignment.” Stanek v.

A person merely offers (tenders) the note (bill) for legal payment in order to discharge a portion of the debt. The one who has promised, under seal, to pay the debt holds in trust the equitable title, while the person tendering his note obtains a mere [[legal title]]. This process is called “equitable conversion” and arises out of a construction of law. In order to obtain a true and actual title and equitably reconvert the property, one must pay present value to the one holding the equitable title.&quot; &quot;[[Covenants of the gods]]&quot;&lt;/Ref&gt; though divested of its character as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge. Something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist…” &lt;Ref name=&quot;stanek&quot;&gt;&lt;/Ref&gt;''<br /> <br /> It goes on to say, “…which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subject to its disability incident to the discharge.

Co. Litt. 137.&lt;/Ref&gt; <br /> : &quot;He who receives the benefit should also bear the disadvantage.&quot;&lt;Ref&gt;Cujus est commodum ejus debet esse incommodum.&lt;/Ref&gt; &quot;He who has the risk has the dominion or advantage.&quot;&lt;Ref&gt;Ejus est periculum cujus est dominium aut commodum.&lt;/Ref&gt; &quot;He who may consent tacitly, may consent expressly.&quot;&lt;Ref&gt;Ejus est non nolle, qui potest velle. Dig. 50, 17, 8.&lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> : And finally, [[Mammon]] as seen in [[Luke 16]] is derived from Ma’amon, &quot;something entrusted to safe keeping. In any case, there was apparently a threefold play on this meaning in Lk. xvi.&lt;Ref&gt;[[Luke 16]]:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.<br /> : [[Luke 16]]:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?<br /> : [[Luke 16]]:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and [[mammon]].<br /> * * [[Matthew 6]]:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.&lt;/Ref&gt; ... representing forms of the Semitic root word ''‘men''.”&lt;Ref&gt; Encyclopedia Britannica. &lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Most Gigantic Trust ===<br /> <br /> The final meaning is important because:<br /> <br /> : “This Act (meaning the [[Federal Reserve]] Act) establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President signs this Act the invisible government by the Money Power, proven to exist by the Money Trust Investigation[1], will be legalized. The new law will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. From now on depressions will be scientifically created.” &lt;Ref&gt;Charles A. Lindberg, Sr., at the time of the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. Charles August Lindbergh (born Carl Månsson; January 20, 1859 – May 24, 1924) was a United States Congressman from Minnesota's 6th congressional district from 1907 to 1917. He opposed American entry into World War I as well as the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. Lindbergh is best known as the father of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh.&lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Charles August Lindbergh&lt;Ref&gt;Charles August Lindbergh name at birth was Carl Månsson, born January 20, 1859 – May 24, 1924 of brain cancer.&lt;/Ref&gt; was a United States Congressman from Minnesota from 1907 to 1917 which allowed him to become a major opponent to the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, which he warned would hand control of the fiscal elements of the United States to &quot;a purely profiteering group&quot; which he believed entertained &quot;the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money.&quot;<br /> <br /> But their goal was not to make profit but to seize power, control, and reduce the [[masses]] to [[human resources]].<br /> <br /> The long rang effect and consequences of these legal factors and conditions in conjunction with social practices within society can alter the status and course of humanity itself, [[degenerate|degenerating]] the very soul of society.<br /> <br /> The [[elements]] of [[freedom]] that nurtured [[liberty]] through the [[social bonds]] and [[Freewill offering|willing sacrifice]] would be lost if not forgotten. <br /> <br /> When [[darkness|eyes saw not]] with [[care]] and compassion and ears heard not the cries and weeping of the needs of neighbor the slothful was [[entangled]] and [[snare|snared]] in the [[elements]] of the [[world]].<br /> <br /> === Real elements ===<br /> <br /> Wealth is like unto the [[blood]] of society. Debt is the antithesis of wealth and debt notes are nit value or wealth nor life. Coveting your neighbors goods is coveting the blood of your neighbor. Having a Common purse rather than personal wealth severs a critical element of a free society. The [[welfare state]] supported by [[legal charity]] [[Polybius|degenerates]] the character and morals that [[social bonds|strength of society]].<br /> <br /> As [[Social virtues]] are undermined in society, society rots from within, and becomes vulnerable to the contamination of the minds and souls if the whole body of society.<br /> <br /> [[Society]] is a group of &quot;persons&quot; and those ''persons'' are members of families. The families can unite together &quot;for some common purpose&quot; &quot;by mutual consent&quot; through [[contract]]s, [[oaths]] ''allegiance'' or ''social bonds'' of [[love]] and [[charity]] through [[faith]]. That &quot;common purpose may be due to self love or love [[Golden rule|for others as for self]].<br /> <br /> The real treasure of society is the heart and soul of its righteous participants. [[The bands]] which connect the [[flesh and blood]] are righteous through the [[perfect law of liberty]] or unrighteous through a desire to control. The family is core of a stable and strong society. <br /> <br /> Families are bound together in society by [[fellowship]] and [[faith]] or [[force]] and [[fear]]. If the family falters society fails.<br /> <br /> === Real revolting revolution===<br /> <br /> There has been a series of elements that have woven the fabric of society which have been altered in society over the centuries either by sloth or design.

With each subsequent war, the [[New Deal]],he [[War on Poverty]], and the [[Cloward-Piven Strategy]] there was a continuous dissipation of [[social bonds]] as the [[masses]] developed an amoral [[appetite]] for [[benefits]] through [[covet]]ing their neighbor's property.<br /> <br /> === Real and Present value ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Scalesjust.jpg|200px|link=law|right|thumb|A [[legal title]] is a ''title of appearance'' which does not include “ownership of an estate” since it carries “no beneficial interest&quot;. That loss of a right upon the land itself is not so much the result of an ''evil conspiracy'' as much as it is a [[foolish]] neglect of what '''Christ [[commanded]]'''.&lt;Br&gt; “The study of [[money]], above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create [[money]] is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent.” • John Kenneth Galbraith (1908- ), former professor of economics at Harvard, writing in ‘Money: Whence it<br /> came, where it went’ (1975). ]]<br /> <br /> <br /> A Dollar was a ''just weight''&lt;Ref name=&quot;Just&quot;&gt;But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. ([Deuteronomy 25]:15)<br /> : A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. ([Proverbs 11]:1)<br /> : A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag are his work. ([Proverbs 16]:11)&lt;/Ref&gt; of a coin (412.5 grains in weight) often of 90% pure silver but could include other precious metals of ''substance'' with ''present value''.<br /> <br /> The term DOLLAR was “The monetary unit or standard of value of the United States and Canada. By the term Dollar in the United States is intended the coined dollar of the United States, a certain quantity in weight and fineness of gold or silver…” The Century Dictionary, Published 1914.<br /> <br /> The antitheses of a ''just weight, a perfect and just measure''&lt;Ref name=&quot;Just&quot;&gt;&lt;/Ref&gt; had to do with honesty and integrity&lt;Ref&gt;[[Proverbs 11]]:3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. 4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. 5 The [[righteousness]] of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. &lt;/Ref&gt; and to do otherwise was trading with the enemy.<br /> <br /> A United States Silver Certificates stated: “This certifies that there is on deposit in the Treasury of the United States of America (denomination) Dollar(s) in silver payable to the bearer on demand.” <br /> <br /> When United States Notes were still being issued they use to say “The United States of America will pay to the bearer on demand (denomination) Dollar(s).”<br /> <br /> [[File:Silver-DollarBoy-Scouts.JPG‎|link=http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/index.php?title=Real Money|300px|Center|thumb|412.5 grains silver ]]<br /> <br /> Of course a NOTE was not a DOLLAR. A note is at best a promise to pay, at worst an instrument of debt and bondage.. <br /> <br /> Someone said &quot;[[Money can be anything]], even paper.&quot; He actually thinks that &quot;Stocks represent the real wealth, production based on consumption by people. They are the new gold.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nothing can be farther from the truth. Stocks are seldom valued based on assets or actual productivity. They are all valued in dollars which further clouds the issue.<br /> <br /> The term ''dollar'' was originally used as a measure of weight.&lt;Ref&gt;from early Flemish or Low German daler, from German T(h)aler, short for Joachimsthaler, a coin from the silver mine of Joachimsthal (‘Joachim's valley’). Czech ''tolar'', Hungarian tallér, Danish, Dutch, Swedish and Norwegian ''daler'', Icelandic ''dalur'', Ethiopian ''talari'', Italian ''tallero'', Polish ''talar''. The term was later applied to a coin used in the Spanish American colonies, which was also widely used in the British North American colonies at the time of the American Revolution. The Continental Congress in 1786 adopted dollar as a unit when it set up the modern U.S. currency system, which was based on the suggestion of Gouverneur Morris (1782) as modified by Thomas Jefferson. None were circulated until 1794.&lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> We were warned to have &quot;just weights&quot; and measures lest we return to the &quot;[[Bondage of Egypt]]&quot;&lt;Ref&gt;[[Leviticus 19]]:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.<br /> : [[Proverbs 16]]:11 A just weight and balance [are] the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag [are] his work.&lt;/Ref&gt; where we had given up the lawful ownership to our property. That [[bondage]] allowed the government of Pharaoh to impose a use tax on the property we only held a &quot;[[legal title]]&quot; to and eventually even upon [[Employ|our own labor]].<br /> <br /> : '''&quot;They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.&quot;''' [[Ezekiel 7]]:19&lt;Ref&gt;[[Ezekiel 44]]:12 Because they ministered unto them before their [[idols]], and caused the house of [[Israel]] to fall into [[iniquity]]; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their [[iniquity]].<br /> [[Romans 11]]:9 And David saith, Let their [[table]] be made a [[snare]], and a trap, and a [[stumblingblock]], and a recompence unto them:&lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Cashless Society ==<br /> <br /> {{#ev:youtube|hYzX3YZoMrs|300|right|Why the whole banking system is a scam - Godfrey Bloom MEP...It has been a shift in our thinking that has allowed things like &quot;fractional reserve banking&quot;, &quot;quantitative easing&quot;, central banks and &quot;deposit guarantees&quot;. https://youtu.be/hYzX3YZoMrs _Time 2:18}}<br /> <br /> The term ''cash'' a century ago did not include notes created by a bank. <br /> <br /> Store keepers who posted a note saying ''&quot;cash only&quot;'' would not accept banknotes of any kind but only coin as payment.&lt;Ref name=&quot;stanek&quot;&gt;&lt;/Ref&gt; Cash originally meant an actual coin with a weight of some precious or semi precious metal. <br /> <br /> In the late 16th century the term ''cash'' actually denoted a box for coins. It was derived from the Old French ''casse'' and Middle French ''caisse'' &quot;money box&quot; or Italian ''cassa'' meaning ‘box’, or even from the Latin term ''capsa'' which was often used to refer to boxes smaller than a shoe-box. By the 1590s the term came to mean a &quot;money box&quot; where coins were kept but also &quot;[[money]] in hand, coin&quot;.<br /> <br /> Although the term ''cash'' likely had another source which also promoted its use and added to its evolution in society it too was from a word meaning ''coins''. <br /> <br /> The term ''cash'' was also derived from Tamil (காசு) which was the official language of both Singapore and Sri Lanka and brought to Great Britain and the world by the East India Company. The word ''kāsu'' meant a ''coin''. <br /> <br /> While promises to pay in the form of notes of paper or clay tablets have been around since [[Babylon]] the payment was always made with something of present value. <br /> <br /> Venetian merchants started using paper bills, instructing their banker to make payments in amounts of silver or gold. For centuries the term ''cash'' as a verb meant to convert a paper bill, note, cheque or check into coin or bullion by weight. <br /> <br /> To make a coin could also include a stamped value implied or imposed by a government rather than a mere weight or measure. This is what ''coining money'' eventually came to mean. The stamped value was not always just based on actual content of a coin. <br /> <br /> Blaming what is commonly used for [[money]] for the problems produced by people choosing to not use [[Real Money]] which is simply &quot;just weights and measures&quot; as advised by God is foolish. &lt;Ref&gt;[[Leviticus 19]]:35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. 36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of [[Egypt]].<br /> : [[Proverbs 16]]:11 A just weight and balance are the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag are his work.&lt;/Ref&gt;. <br /> <br /> The Roman silver ''denarii'' eventually became an iron coin stamped with an imposed value which led to runaway inflation because when the silver was gone the real value was gone. A &quot;just weights and measures&quot; economy only uses what could be called a ''[[commodity money]].<br /> <br /> [[File:juno.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Temples|The Temple]] of '''Juno Moneta''' is considered to be [[Temples|another &quot;pagan temple&quot;]] but it was simply a place where ''coins'' used as ''[[money]]'' were minted by the government.]]<br /> The [[Temples|Temple]] of '''Juno Moneta''' (Latin: Templum Iunonis Monetæ) was an ancient Roman temple that stood on the Arx or the citadel on the Capitoline Hill overlooking the Roman government Forum. The word [[Money]] is from a Middle English word from Old French ''moneie'', from Latin ''moneta'' ‘mint, [[money]]’. It was an original title of the goddess '''Juno''', in whose [[Temples|temple]] the money of [[Rome]] was minted. These coins had some value at first and the minting was merely stamping what would become their &quot;legal tender&quot; value.<br /> <br /> Today, money is defined as &quot;a current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and banknotes collectively.&quot;<br /> <br /> Notes and iron or base metal coins may have no real value and certainly not the value stamped or printed on them and therefore are not ''real money'' but ''stuff posing as money''. <br /> <br /> Gold and silver being used as a monetary unit is from at least the Ancient Sumerians, who used the silver shekel as a unit of weight for the transactions of merchants. The ''stator'' was one of the earliest forms of coined money was created around 600 BC by the Lydian Empire from a gold-silver alloy called ''electrum''.<br /> <br /> === Reduction of value ===<br /> <br /> The removal of gold from the US citizen in 1933&lt;Ref name=&quot;goldx&quot;&gt; ''Emergency Banking Act'', March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt and the April 5, 1933, [https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-6102-forbidding-the-hoarding-gold-coin-gold-bullion-and-gold-certificates Executive Order 6102].

Those are debt notes. There is interest being charged on each one in circulation. They also have ''&quot;no value&quot;'' according to the Federal Reserve website. They are the ultimate SPAM. ''Stuff Posing As Money''.<br /> <br /> They are not really money but are ''legal tender'', not redeemable in lawful money, and therefore the people cannot obtain a lawful title with them. This system of money only allows for the ownership of a [[legal title]] to all property reducing the individual to little more than a serf upon his own land. This is part of an ancient plan to reduce men to little more than [[human resources]].<br /> <br /> The term ''legal tender'' is a euphemism of modern thinking that allows something to become used as if it was value but is in fact nothing more than a substitute for value. It has been a shift in our thinking that has allowed things like &quot;fractional reserve banking&quot;, &quot;quantitative easing&quot;, central banks and &quot;deposit guarantees&quot;. <br /> <br /> The problems in the [[World|world]] today run so deep that the truth can hardly be considered much less understood. The solution is the same as it was 2000 years ago but to see it we would have to see out own problems. Rome faced this same problem and eventually collapsed but the early Christians had begun to do something fundamentally different and not only survived but thrived. They had formed a [[network]] of people who were learning to care about each other, the truth and righteousness as much as they cared about themselves. That [[network]] of [[Free Assemblies|freely assembled]] people functioned by [[Faith]], [[Hope]] and [[Charity]] through the [[Perfect law of liberty]] and no longer depended upon [[Benefactors]] who exercised authority to provide [[benefits]] for members of their society. They learned to provide for each other in a [[Daily ministration]] of [[Pure Religion]].<br /> <br /> They lived in the [[World|world]] but not of the [[World|world]]. [[Rome]] had gone from a [[Republic]] to a [[Socialist]] State with the [[Emperator]] as the [[Father]] of the nation and ''Benefactor'' of society. Because of its unrighteous [[Mammon]] it had literally become a ''[[cashless]] society''. <br /> <br /> {{#ev:youtube|UG5sp5bCpSc|300|right|'''[[Mammon]]''', NN Video Series:3-10 4:22}}<br /> <br /> [[Road Map|People fear a future cashless]] society but in truth they are already there. The problem goes much deeper. We have become a soulless society where we are [[Biting one another]] in a thousand ways and have been devoured by our [[Covetous Practices]]. <br /> <br /> Many warned of these practices from [[Polybius]] to [[John the Baptist]] and the Prophets of Christ himself. While some today may try to avoid the benefits in order to claim their freedom they do little to become benefactors of society who exercise [[Charity]] like some nations and people of the past. They remain [[Slothful]] and therefore should be under [[Tribute]].<br /> <br /> The early [[Christians]] were not like [[Modern Christians]] but actually were striving to follow what [[Christ]] said to do. They were [[Doer]]s of the word. They did not depend on the [[Temples|Pagan Temples]] which provided many of the services of that pagan government of [[Rome]]. They provided for one another in a [[Network|living network]] and attended to the {{Weightier matters}}.<br /> <br /> == Legal Tender ==<br /> <br /> The phrase '''“legal tender”''' is found on the paper currencies of the [[world]], including those used by the United States. Blue-sealed certificates, red-sealed United States notes, or green-sealed Federal Reserve notes all state that they are “legal tender for all debts public and private.” For decades, these notes also stated that they were “redeemable in lawful money.” If they were redeemable in lawful money then it should be clear that they are not lawful money. Gold and silver are lawful money, which is used as “payment of debt.” Black’s Law Dictionary 3rd p 1079.<br /> <br /> ''Legal tender'' is a ''legal offer'' in place of payment of debt and does not lawfully pay a debt. Although it may legally discharge debt, the tender or offer does not pay the debt at law. According to Stanek v. White. 172 Minn. 390, 215 N. W. 784. “There is a distinction between a debt discharged and one paid. When discharged the debt still exists, though divested of its character as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge. Something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist…”<br /> <br /> First, you cannot acquire a &quot;lawful title&quot; with mere &quot;legal tender&quot;. You will have to settle for a a &quot;[[legal title]]&quot; which by definition does not include a [[beneficial interest]] in the &quot;property&quot;.&lt;Ref name=&quot;justweit&quot;&gt;[[Leviticus 19]]:34 &quot;But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. 36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.&quot; &lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Where does this debt continue? <br /> <br /> In the case of US Federal Reserve notes the debt is placed on the shoulders of the US citizens who are bound by that debt and required to work without pay. We call that income tax. That does not go to provide services but to pay off the debt note interest...<br /> <br /> Stanek v. White goes on to say, “…which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subject to its disability incident to the discharge. The fact that it carries something which may be a consideration for a new promise to pay, so as to make an otherwise worthless promise a legal obligation, makes it the subject of transfer by assignment.”<br /> <br /> Those notes are partly why you do not own your land, your labor or your children which are now bound in a perpetual cycle of debt.<br /> <br /> == Inflation Causes ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:futile.JPG‎|link=http://www.preparingyou.com/wiki/index.php?title=RealMoney|300px|right|thumb|'''Is Resistance futile?''' Freedom does not come from the presence or absence of money but of course there are many kinds of money. What most people &quot;see posing as money&quot; today is not money but debt used as if it was money. Since it has no &quot;present value&quot; but only an imagined value it is not really money. Money, even &quot;stuff posing as money&quot; is not evil. Greed, selfishness and [[wantonness]] are evil and they dwell in the hearts of men not in dead things. These things do not dwell in money nor &quot;stuff posing as money&quot;. To focus on the money as the problem is a distraction from the real problem. The kind of money used in the [[world]] today is a symptom, a product of greed, selfishness and wantonness. Get rid of money and you will have just as much [[greed]], [[selfishness]] and [[wantonness]]. [[Seek]] instead the cure.]]<br /> <br /> People see inflation increasing and it will likely get worse, much worse.<br /> <br /> It cannot be stopped without disastrous results and it is bringing disaster with it.<br /> <br /> Many will suffer and chaos will reign.<br /> <br /> Some are trying to implement alternative money plans now and have asked me to join with them to implement those alternatives. <br /> <br /> Some may encourage the use of commodities, things with present value, in exchange of goods and services when ever practical so that people could start learning the honorable skills required for liberty and art of networking in a way that would allow an alternative to become manifest during a time of economic crises or collapse. <br /> <br /> <br /> People have lots of different ideas.<br /> <br /> === Inflation of Hope ===<br /> <br /> The problem goes much deeper than the money itself or what you use as money. <br /> <br /> The money used today is more a symptom than the problem yet people do die every day from symptoms.<br /> <br /> In the days ''when men were free'' money, like gold and silver, were produced by miners and silver and gold smiths. Other commodities were produced by the people. The people produced a real and valuable money supply. These mediums of exchange consisting of things with &quot;present value&quot; or &quot;intrinsic value&quot; are called [[Commodity money]].<br /> <br /> We should only use ''commodity money'' but that may not be practical in the modern society. We should seek another [[society]] and another way to live while we live in this [[world]]. We should start learning another way, [[The Way]] of Christ.<br /> <br /> As this [[world]] society continues to break down opportunity to replace it with an alternative system will occur.<br /> <br /> Most will seek worse solutions and suffer for it as they have done for centuries. The real problem is the [[greed]], [[selfishness]] and [[wantonness]]. To point to money as the problem takes our mind off the real problem. It is always easier to point to other people, other things as the problem rather than examine ourselves.<br /> <br /> '''[[Hope]] is found in those few who will come together to sustain local communities''' without any [[greed]], [[selfishness]] and [[wantonness]]. That is not easy to find. It might be good to have a system of commodity money which is in essence barter, but that is not where we start. These alternatives will rise from the people to replace inflationary [[Edward Mandell House|fiat currency]]&lt;Ref name=&quot;fiat&quot;&gt;''Fiat money'' is a government-issued currency that is not backed by a commodity such as gold.&lt;/Ref&gt; now in circulation which will become as worthless in the minds of merchants as they are already decaying in value today. The illusion of value is all that sustains the present market and the fear to admit that modern currency has no present value.<br /> <br /> Without present value in currency of exchange within a society there will be no liberty but the loss of liberty began with that [[greed]], [[selfishness]] and [[wantonness]] dwelling in out hearts.<br /> <br /> <br /> Most people will not act or [[Home|prepare]] or have the moral character to do what is required as a society to overcome such events peaceably. The lack of value in our money comes from the lack of value in our own souls and hearts and minds. We need to [[repent]], change the thinking of our minds. We need to seek the [[kingdom of God]] with all our hearts. We need to seek the [[righteousness]] of God with our very souls.<br /> <br /> Join us in the [[Network|Living Network]].<br /> <br /> == Utter Money ==<br /> <br /> Of course US Persons cannot intend to establish something that could be used for or as ''current money'' they could be sent to jail for five years and or fined. <br /> <br /> You can see because of 18 USC § 486 - Uttering coins of gold, silver or other metal <br /> <br /> &quot;Whoever, except as authorized by law, makes or utters or passes, or attempts to utter or pass, any coins of gold or silver or other metal, or alloys of metals, intended for use as current money, whether in the resemblance of coins of the United States or of foreign countries, or of original design, shall be fined under this title [1] or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.&quot; http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/486<br /> <br /> Some people are looking for alternative currencies because the ones in circulation seem to be about to fail.<br /> <br /> Some have tried to create liberty dollars with disastrous effects that I warned them about but they would not listen to those warnings because they wanted to believe in their solution.<br /> <br /> Turning a blind eye to the weakness and error of their position will get you in trouble almost every time. <br /> <br /> It was obvious they were trying to create an alternative currency which will be rejected if successful.<br /> <br /> That is illegal if you are using similar or same terms used in or by the present currency makers of the realm of the &quot;world&quot;.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Bitcoin and digital currency ==<br /> <br /> While the currency of the world drives men into the bondage of debt many alternative currencies are not much better for other reasons or at least not the ultimate goal of a free society.<br /> {{#ev:youtube|jk_HWmmwiAs|300|right|What is money?

It is not a weight that can be measured but a market value based on digital entries that have limited available amount.<br /> <br /> This limitation, like gold and silver in the ground, adds to its value because as more people seek to use them the demand drives the value up.<br /> <br /> Unlike gold and silver and other metals no matter how hard you work you can only produce so many.<br /> <br /> Federal reserve notes and the digital transactions of account entries have no real value either and can lose all their &quot;apparent&quot; value in the twinkling of an eye.<br /> <br /> The Fed is preparing the release of a &quot;central bank digital currency (CBDC). <br /> <br /> Just as the creation of other forms of digital currencies may also be outlawed.

Direct quotes from the founders, presidents, and other world leaders are cited regarding each bankers and wars. Bf the major wars America was involved in, beginning with the American Revolution, King George III and Benjamin Franklin, and culminating with a warning and solution to avoiding World War III https://youtu.be/BrKf9nYeXT0 Time 43:33}} <br /> <br /> All Wars Are Banker Wars is a video by Michael Rivero who presents a great deal of information and quotes Americans did [[Schools as Tools|not learn in school]]. While we know that bankers in Europe became wealthy by financing wars, some times on both sides of conflicts, but few know how much of those unethical practices came to America nor the effect those institutions have had on what was once the American dream?<br /> <br /> Students of real history know wars over man's long history can be extremely profitable for some. But banking in all of its form has also been profitable beyond the wildest imagination of the bankers themselves.<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits.&quot; -- Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> The original idea of banking was to rent the value of something you have so that others may use it and generate more value. You might borrow materials to make a boat so that you could go catch more fish. But in modern central banking they are loaning what they do not have, what has neither length and width nor has weight and measure. This charging the borrower interest for the use of nothing is done with the intent of owning everything from the boat to the fish and eventually include even the borrower himself.<br /> <br /> Everyone who is true follower of [[Abraham]], [[Moses]], or [[Jesus]] sould know but they profess with their lips while they wage war against [[The Way]] of [[righteousness]] with their [[covetous practices]] and [[idolatry]]:&lt;Ref name=&quot;Isidolatry&quot;&gt;{{Isidolatry}}&lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> : &quot;6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations,but they shall not reign over thee.&quot; [[Deuteronomy 15]]<br /> <br /> They often do not know because they do not know [[the Way]] because they sit in [[darkness]] and follow ''blind guides''&lt;Ref name=&quot;Blindlead'&quot;&gt;{{Blindlead}}&lt;/Ref&gt; and do not see because they do not know the [[LORD]]:<br /> <br /> : &quot;7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.&quot; [[Deuteronomy 15]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Both war and banking are profitable but mix them together and the profits can be staggering but always at the expense of the dead, the unborn, and many of the living. <br /> <br /> That has been the march of history from [[Nimrod]] to [[Sumer]], from [[Pharaoh]] to the [[Ephesus|Temple at Ephesus]] loans and interest in the form of [[usury]] have made masters and subjects of mankind.<br /> <br /> Rivero does a good job in a short period of time to lay out the basics of the story of bankers and wars. But his conclusions and solutions are not entirely correct.<br /> <br /> Yes it is extremely profitable for banks when people go to war.<br /> <br /> This makes central banks a major factor in promoting regular wars.<br /> <br /> They are not the only factor.<br /> <br /> The First Continental Congress issued a ''Declaration of Rights'' in 1774, they included the ''Currency Act of 1764'' as one of the seven British Acts labeled as “subversive of American rights.” While others proclaimed the issue of interest bearing notes to be the primary causes of the revolution. It was this issue of banks and money because they understood the far reaching c9nsequences to liberty.&lt;Ref&gt;&quot;The refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, was probably the prime cause of the revolution.&quot; -- Benjamin Franklin.&lt;/Ref&gt; But today that system has become pervasive through out the [[world]].<br /> <br /> Ultimately it is the [[sloth]] and ignorance, greed and selfishness of the people who desire gain, even at the expense of their neighbor.<br /> <br /> === Collateralization of land ===<br /> <br /> The video fails to mention the collateralization of the &quot;[[equitable title]]&quot; of &quot;[[legal title]]&quot; held lands.<br /> <br /> That gain desired by bankers and the people may be in the form of power and profit, but the gain desired by the people is often social welfare [[benefits]], e.g. &quot;[[legal charity]]&quot;. It is that combination that is deadly to a free society. [[Righteousness]] can interrupt the [[elements]] of the [[world]] that bring destruction and the loss of liberty.<br /> <br /> Americans knew back in 1694 that &quot;The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.&quot; because William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England, said so. They knew that ''Interest Bearing bank note'' from the Bank of England forced American colonies by King George III's '''Currency Act of 1764''', which forced their business the notes of the Bank of England at interest.<br /> <br /> It was not just the interest but the impediments and disabilities imposed by a ''monopoly'' on what was posing as value for the purchase of value in the form of land.<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''“There is a distinction between a debt discharged and one paid. When discharged the debt still exists, though divested of its character as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge. Something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist…” &lt;Ref name=&quot;stanek&quot;&gt;&lt;/Ref&gt;''<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt; <br /> <br /> Settlers came to ''own land'' in their own name and not just in the Kings name. They knew you could not be free without the ownership of land.&lt;Ref&gt;''“The first farme was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land.” '' Emerson.&lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Many, like the [[Strangers and pilgrims]] because of their conflict with kings and banking companies, were beginning to understand if you want to [[no king|own the land like the kings]] you needed to be aware that “…which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subject to its disability incident to the discharge. The fact that it carries something which may be a consideration for a new promise to pay, so as to make an otherwise worthless promise a legal obligation, makes it the subject of transfer by assignment.”&lt;Ref name=&quot;stanek&quot;&gt;&lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The colonies preferred a system of “hard currency” (“Specie”, gold or silver coin) or at the very least forms of [[commodity money]]. They had some paper money in the form of bills of exchange or banknote backed by the value of land owned by individuals.<br /> <br /> The idea of notes being backed by deposits of gold and silver has been common since before the [[golden calf]]. But the backing of the currency of the state by ''land and livestock'' where the people cared for them both but owned neither goes back at least to the [[bondage of Egypt]].<br /> <br /> The king of Sodom offered Abraham all the possessions and spoils after the battle of Chedorlaomer,&lt;Ref&gt;[[Genesis 14]]:21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,23 That I will not [take] from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.&lt;/Ref&gt; if he would give the people back to him.<br /> <br /> The idea of people ''owning nothing'' is again bandied about but the theory they ''will be happy'' is merely a sells pitch. The goal of these world elites is to kill [[capitalism]] which is the private ownership of your labor and seize all men as slaves and hold the dominion of earth itself but ''as they betray their fellowman they themselves will be betrayed''. <br /> <br /> <br /> There was also a suggestion that the 16th Amendment is the cause of income tax on individual labor. It is not. Ratified or not the answer is elsewhere and again it is the degeneration of morality and participatory consent of the people which are at the core of that dilemma.<br /> <br /> === Collateralization of Labor ===<br /> <br /> And then there is the collateralization of the labor of [[Citizen|US CITIZENS]] with the [[Social Security]] Act and the application for [[benefits]] it offers.<br /> <br /> We must be willing to understand that it is not banks that make us &quot;[[merchandise]]&quot; but it is our &quot;[[covetous practices]]&quot; which do so. It is that which dims our vision and brings us into [[bondage]].<br /> <br /> The banks are the &quot;[[merchants of men|merchants of the earth]]&quot; who will answer for their greed but we are not exonerated from our sin by theirs.<br /> <br /> The banking systems do allow misinformation but they also tell the truth. We often fail to see the whole truth because we choose to sit in darkness.<br /> <br /> While they allow misconceptions they publish books like Mein Kampf and The Great Reset. They appeal to our weakness to succeed at any price.<br /> <br /> We see the same in most con-artists. They use the greed of the &quot;mark&quot; to capture him in a net of his own making. See the &quot;[[One purse]]&quot; of [[Proverbs 1]].<br /> <br /> It is the [[appetite]] of the people to eat at the [[Table]] of the [[Welfare state]] that has become the [[snare]] of our own making. People are sitting in darkness again and failed to practice [[Pure Religion]]. <br /> <br /> The reason there is no other [[table]] to eat in times of need than those [[tables]] established by politicians like [[FDR]] and [[LBJ]] in America or the [[world]] is the failure of the [[modern Church]] and the [[sloth]] and [[strong delusion]] of [[modern Christians]]. Many of the <br /> <br /> The claim of &quot;[[fraud]]&quot; is wishful thinking. All the people who are now surety for the debt have received real things in exchange for the notes they gave.<br /> They have received real benefits, had their parents cared for, and welfare provided for them that should have been provided by true charity and not force. They have ignored the warning of the [[Sabbath]] about debt, [[covet]]ousness, and being greedy for [[Plutarch|gain, gifts and gratuities]].<br /> <br /> Claiming [[fraud]] at this point only compounds our own sin as the fraudsters who made it all happen.<br /> <br /> It is absolutely essential to see our part, our failure and sloth, our greed for the &quot;[[reward of unrighteousness]]&quot;, our &quot;[[covetous practices]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> The narrator, Michael Rivero, imagines that a non interest note issued by the State is the solution. They are not.<br /> <br /> He thinks the bankers are the problem and are the cause of these wars. They are not.<br /> They are instrumental and certainly motivators but the problem is us, the people. <br /> That is not a popular message, nor an easy sell to people who always want to blame others for their errors.<br /> <br /> We have not changed since Adam.<br /> <br /> <br /> https://youtu.be/BrKf9nYeXT0<br /> <br /> == Options ==<br /> <br /> But there are many alternatives to money commonly used today just like during depressions, bank failures, war, even in prisons things like cigarettes can become a monetized means of exchange. The first form of money was commodities, things of present value where you are. The first market was barter and trade.<br /> <br /> [[Image:trade.jpg|left|320px|left|thumb|]]<br /> There are numerous options for alternative money forms and some are better than others. Grain, whiskey, toilet paper have all substituted for coin and cash. <br /> <br /> But how does one trade services? <br /> <br /> And aren't there a lot of limitations?<br /> <br /> The limitations decrease as trust grows.<br /> <br /> Gold and silver have an intrinsic substance and weight. They are a commodity. But where does real [[Value]] come from?<br /> <br /> They have a limited supply and are the product of labor.<br /> <br /> Men can speculate which affects value but there are limits and they are real and can be weighed and measured.<br /> <br /> So the real question is how does one increase trust?<br /> <br /> But there are laws for trying to supplant or compete with existing ''currency'' and or do so to get around tax liability with alternate trading currency.<br /> <br /> Don't forget USC 18 486... or laws concern conspiracy to defraud.<br /> <br /> So what should we use?<br /> <br /> For the short term our options are open if we are open to seek to learn real trust within a viable society based on mutual love and honor.<br /> <br /> The short term may be all we have in some cases but we must walk in the long term approach. The question is what direction do we want to go. <br /> <br /> ==The Solution ==<br /> <br /> What we are living is the decline and fall of new world order and like the decline of Rome the answer was to think differently, [[Repent]]!<br /> <br /> Yes, we need an entirely new approach that history has shown us before.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Early Christians]] established a viable network that was called a &quot;Republic&quot; by Edward Gibbons who chronicled the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. <br /> <br /> We need to let go of the [[sophistry]] of words which has been used to bring a [[strong delusion]].<br /> <br /> '''Christians formed a social [[network]] through [[Pure Religion]] through [[charity]] and the [[perfect law of liberty]]. The subsequent [[network]] and its [[daily ministration]] sustained them through that Roman collapse.''' <br /> <br /> Although '''emperors feared them because of their &quot;union and discipline&quot;''' their success was dependent upon the honor and trust found in the virtuous [[social bonds]] of their society and their natural ability because of their governing structure to fade underground and become mobile in a [[Network|living network]] overnight. <br /> <br /> [[Repent]]ance is about thinking differently and [[seek]]ing in a different direction and we have all gone a long way down the wrong road.<br /> <br /> === See the whole truth ===<br /> <br /> Nations have been [[employ|enslaved]] and brought into that [[bondage]] of debt common among every nation today. <br /> <br /> Christ had a way and while he mentioned money, justice and mercy and the bible talks about unjust weights and measures the real commodity that sets you free is not regulated by commerce.<br /> <br /> Remember Christ's command ''Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s,'' but also to render &quot;unto God the things which be God’s.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Caesar]]s come and go and We must learn the ways of God and his natural ways of honor and trust, righteousness and law. <br /> <br /> Did not Jesus tell us to tend to the weightier matters of law?&lt;ref&gt;Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ... have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. &lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Are we told to &quot;Owe no man any thing&quot;?''' &lt;Ref&gt;[[Romans 13]]:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.&lt;/Ref&gt;<br /> <br /> '''How is it that love to drive one another into debt by [[covet]]ing our neighbors goods in hope of personal [[benefits]].''' ls it because there is no other currency or because we are bankrupt of the currency of love?<br /> <br /> There are others who are seeking to use existing coins such as pre-1964 silver which would be existing coin. Still any attempt to defraud the government of the [[World|world]] of revenue by the use of even legitimate coin has brought prosecution and ruin for many. <br /> <br /> === And provide for it ===<br /> <br /> '''It is the [[social bonds]] of the [[Network]] of [[righteousness]] that bring real wealth and viability.'''<br /> <br /> That must be established with the network that provides for true needs of society through voluntary means and methods which are more numerous than can be listed here.<br /> <br /> ===Problems can be met ===<br /> <br /> But purchasing things from afar from strangers with substance creates a problem of logistics. How do you deliver funds to someone on the other side of the country with nothing but hope they will reciprocate with sending your the commodity your seek to purchase.<br /> <br /> The truth is knowledge and skill to produce or utilize alternate currencies and coins could be critical in every declining economy but something is more important than the item to be used that must never be forgotten.<br /> <br /> So, '''the real problem is trust.''' <br /> <br /> It is not the supply of money that is the problem. IT IS TRUST.<br /> <br /> '''Who do we trust?'''<br /> <br /> We have a shortage of ''trust'' in the ''world'' which is a shortage of ''honor''.<br /> <br /> So, my recommendation is to find those who seek a moral money supply of just weights and measures and start gathering together in local groups.

<p>Calebeaton: /* Perspective */</p> <hr /> <div>Bitcoin was first brought up in [[His Holy Church|HHC]] circles on December 4, 2012 when it was valued at $13.50. The first article on the subject was posted here on December 26, 2013 at $684. As we've developed better understanding of Bitcoin, it may be correct to view the [[Original Bitcoin Article]] as perhaps 20% good old fashion wisdom mixed with 80% subject matter ignorance. <br /> <br /> Fortunately, HHC is not a top-down monolith. While some congregations rejected it, others embraced it. Some congregation ministers realized that Bitcoin donations from elders could be accepted over the Internet without praying world's governments for permission to do so as was required for the acceptance of checks, wire transfers, credit cards, and Paypal transactions.<br /> <br /> Moreover, in cases of emergencies, elders (who already had verified bank accounts, credit cards, Paypal accounts, and more) could easily receive Bitcoin from their minister and convert it to the necessary fiat currency to pay hospital bills or whatever.<br /> <br /> So the minister and the storehouse he oversees can remain separate from the [[world]] while maintaining technical proficiency to serve his congregants in an age of electronic communications. In addition, elders and their ministers who invested the time to educate themselves about the new technology of Bitcoin have been able to multiply the [[Talent|talents]] given them rather than putting them in a jar to bury where moth and rust corrupt—where inflation eats away at fiat stored in bank accounts.<br /> <br /> == Perspective ==<br /> <br /> '''$683.94''' - Number of US Dollars required to buy one bitcoin on December 26, 2013, when the [[Original Bitcoin Article]] was posted.<br /> <br /> {{Template:BitcoinPrice}}<br /> <br /> {{Template:BitcoinChart}}<br /> <br /> == Basics ==<br /> <br /> * [[What Is Money]]?<br /> * [[Denationalization|The Denationalization of Money was Predicted]]<br /> * [[Fundamental Internet Protocol]]<br /> <br /> == Common Objections and Misconceptions ==<br /> <br /> * [[Bitcoin v Gold]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Wastes Energy]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Bubble]]<br /> * [[Stupid Predictions]]<br /> * [[Hijacked|Bitcoin was Hijacked, Roger Ver, Aaron Day, etc.]]<br /> * [[Speculation]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Speed]]<br /> * [[Volatility]]<br /> * [[Inferior Technology]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Ponzi]]<br /> * [[Co-opted|Co-opted Bitcoin?]]<br /> * [[Tucker Carlson]]<br /> * [[Quantum Computing]]<br /> <br /> == Expanding Vision &amp; Understanding == <br /> <br /> * [[Energy as Money]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Reserves]]<br /> * [[Allodial Money]]<br /> * [[Equal Weights|Equal Weights and Measures]]<br /> * [[Deflation]]<br /> * [[Proof of Wealth]]<br /> * [[Hyperbitcoinization]]<br /> * [[Halving]]<br /> * [[Stablecoins]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin v Real Estate]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Prehistory]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Ethic]]<br /> * [[World Reserve Currency]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Dominance]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Not Crypto]]<br /> * [[Inaction Is Action]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin is Logos]]<br /> * [[Time Theft]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Resilience]]<br /> * [[Big Picture]]<br /> * [[Barter]]<br /> <br /> == Bitcoin Fixes This ==<br /> <br /> * [[The Great Taking]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and AI]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and War]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and Food]]<br /> <br /> == Bitcoin Standard Operating Procedures ==<br /> <br /> * [[BitcoinSOP1]] - Buy Bitcoin with Strike<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP2]] - Earn Bitcoin Reward Points with Fold Debit Card<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP3]] - Self-Custody with Aqua Wallet<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP4]] - Protect Your Keys<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP5]] - Hardware Wallets/Cold Storage<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP6]] - Use Your Bitcoin as Collateral for a Loan<br /> * [[BitcoinSOP7]] - Bitcoin Mining (Personal Level)<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Homework ==<br /> <br /> * [[Bitcoin Books]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin Podcasts]]<br /> <br /> == Projects ==<br /> <br /> * [[Bitcoin and Christianity]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and Birth Documentation]]<br /> * [[Decentralized Peer Review and Medical Research]]<br /> * [[Bitcoin and Free Speech]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> &lt;/br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Money}}<br /> <br /> {{Network}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Money]]</div>

It is not a weight that can be measured but a market value based on digital entries that have limited available amount.<br /> <br /> This limitation, like gold and silver in the ground, adds to its value because as more people seek to use them the demand drives the value up.<br /> Unlike gold and silver and other metals no matter how hard you work you can only produce so many.<br /> <br /> Federal reserve notes and the digital transactions of account entries have no real value either and can lose all their &quot;apparent&quot; value in the ''twinkling of an eye''.<br /> <br /> But ''Just weights and measures'' is not enough. It has limitations because it is bound to the physical world. You need a system of trust to move substance electronically.<br /> <br /> What you need is a [[network]] of living souls who love one another as much as they love themselves and are bound together by [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]].

<p>Calebeaton: /* Perspective */</p> <hr /> <div>While the currency of the world drives men into the [[bondage]] of debt many alternative currencies are not much better for other reasons.<br /> [[File:bitcoin.jpg|right]]<br /> Bitcoin is trying to create a &quot;cryptocurrency&quot;.<br /> http://bitcoinmagazine.com/6939/seans-outpost-announces-satoshi-forest/<br /> <br /> They were playing with words but the point is Bitcoin is not dependable which puts it on the same footing as all the other digital accounts we have in the [[world]] today and when the unrighteous [[Mammon]] fails Bitcoin will also fail. <br /> <br /> This is especially true if there is a real meltdown of the economy. <br /> Bitcoin can disappear in that ''twinkling of the eye''. <br /> <br /> Is that a reason not to use them? <br /> <br /> Because many are suggesting its use as &quot;current money&quot; and some may use it to avoid taxes, it will be scrutinized and possibly even sanitized by the powers that be...<br /> <br /> So, what should we consider before using this electronic currency.<br /> Questions will arise is it legal, biblical, moral?<br /> <br /> First, Bitcoin is not a &quot;just weight or measure&quot; and has no intrinsic value or even substance. It is not [[Real Money]]. It is not biblical because the only biblical money is a [[commodity money]] of ''present value'' based on tangible substance. <br /> <br /> It is highly speculative and dependent on a &quot;digital world&quot;. While it is decentralized it is dependent upon a system that is controlled. A &quot;digital world&quot; is dependent upon an electrical grid which could disappear in a ''twinkling of an eye''.<br /> <br /> As I read one comment I emphasize some the text &quot;My point...'''We can not depend too much''' on '''digital''' technology. It '''does not fully measure''' up and it can leave us weighed in the balance. I '''recommend''' getting back to ''just weights and measures''. It's a golden opportunity.&quot;<br /> <br /> ''Just weights and measures'' does not mean gold and silver coins. It means what it says. It is ''just weights and measures''. There is no stamped value, only a measure of weight and a measure of substance.<br /> <br /> All ''currencies'' are subject to failure. It is not a weight that can be measured but a market value based on digital entries that have limited available amount.<br /> <br /> This limitation, like gold and silver in the ground, adds to its value because as more people seek to use them the demand drives the value up.<br /> Unlike gold and silver and other metals no matter how hard you work you can only produce so many.<br /> <br /> Federal reserve notes and the digital transactions of account entries have no real value either and can lose all their &quot;apparent&quot; value in the ''twinkling of an eye''.<br /> <br /> But ''Just weights and measures'' is not enough. It has limitations because it is bound to the physical world. You need a system of trust to move substance electronically.<br /> <br /> What you need is a [[network]] of living souls who love one another as much as they love themselves and are bound together by [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[charity]]. What you need is the [[kingdom of God]].<br /> <br /> <br /> == Perspective ==<br /> <br /> '''$683.94''' - Number of US Dollars required to buy one bitcoin on December 26, 2013, when the [[Original Bitcoin Article]] was posted.<br /> <br /> &lt;html&gt;<br /> &lt;div id=&quot;btc-price-widget&quot; style=&quot;max-width:320px;margin:20px auto;background:#fff;padding:20px 24px;border-radius:12px;box-shadow:0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,sans-serif;text-align:center;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:0.95rem;color:#666;margin-bottom:6px;&quot;&gt;Today's Dollars required to purchase 1 bitcoin&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div id=&quot;btc-price&quot; style=&quot;font-size:2rem;font-weight:700;color:#F7931A;letter-spacing:-0.5px;&quot;&gt;<br /> Loading…<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:0.75rem;color:#aaa;margin-top:10px;&quot;&gt;<br /> Live via CoinGecko<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;script&gt;<br /> (function () {<br /> const priceEl = document.getElementById('btc-price');<br /> <br /> async function updatePrice() {<br /> try {<br /> const res = await fetch('https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=bitcoin&amp;vs_currencies=usd');<br /> if (!res.ok) throw new Error('Network error');<br /> const data = await res.json();<br /> <br /> const price = data.bitcoin.usd;<br /> <br /> priceEl.textContent = '$' + price.toLocaleString(undefined, {<br /> minimumFractionDigits: 0,<br /> maximumFractionDigits: 0<br /> });<br /> } catch (err) {<br /> console.error(err);<br /> priceEl.textContent = 'Unavailable';<br /> }<br /> }<br /> <br /> // Initial load<br /> updatePrice();<br /> <br /> // Refresh every 60 seconds<br /> setInterval(updatePrice, 60000);<br /> })();<br /> &lt;/script&gt;<br /> &lt;/html&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{Template:Bitcoin-Nav}}</div>

<p>Calebeaton: /* Perspective */</p> <hr /> <div>Bitcoin was first brought up in [[His Holy Church|HHC]] circles on December 4, 2012 when it was valued at $13.50. The first article on the subject was posted here on December 26, 2013 at $684. As we've developed better understanding of Bitcoin, it may be correct to view the [[Original Bitcoin Article]] as perhaps 20% good old fashion wisdom mixed with 80% subject matter ignorance. <br /> <br /> Fortunately, HHC is not a top-down monolith. While some congregations rejected it, others embraced it. Some congregation ministers realized that Bitcoin donations from elders could be accepted over the Internet without praying world's governments for permission to do so as was required for the acceptance of checks, wire transfers, credit cards, and Paypal transactions.<br /> <br /> Moreover, in cases of emergencies, elders (who already had verified bank accounts, credit cards, Paypal accounts, and more) could easily receive Bitcoin from their minister and convert it to the necessary fiat currency to pay hospital bills or whatever.<br /> <br /> So the minister and the storehouse he oversees can remain separate from the [[world]] while maintaining technical proficiency to serve his congregants in an age of electronic communications. In addition, elders and their ministers who invested the time to educate themselves about the new technology of Bitcoin have been able to multiply the [[Talent|talents]] given them rather than putting them in a jar to bury where moth and rust corrupt—where inflation eats away at fiat stored in bank accounts.<br /> <br /> == Perspective ==<br /> <br /> '''$683.94''' - Number of US Dollars required
