The pandemic was handled the way economics and information are handled these days. The poor and middle class are treated terribly, then talked down to for noticing. Thanks Lex for having Dr. Bhattacharya on, he was very eloquent. And you made some great contributions too.,(reply>), @Thomas Hauer  ya it makes sense for a tolatarian government,(reply>), @Alex P idk I just know it is unstoppable anyway all I want is the damn covid mask and vaccine mandates to go. The entire covid  entry pass bullshit. . Thats pure horror and makes zero sense other than for pharma . Biometric IDs for openledger systems are more effective with fingerprints we don't need mrna experiments for it<br><br>Smart grid makes sense without forced self destruction,(reply>), @Thomas HauerCould a possible example be given for what it would look like for central power to 'take control', given that a single cryptocurrency becomes the sole digital currency?<br><br>My understanding is that it can't be regulated by traditional means. Perhaps I am misunderstanding though?,(reply>), @Alex P it is not decentralized if the  central bank starts the new global crypto currency. <br>The bank of international settlements and Central Bank are all in and just wait for the best option<br><br>Ripple might be their gold as new control variable,(reply>), @Thomas Hauer I was with you in the first half, but then was like...'what'?<br><br>Any way you could elaborate on that? I've been led to believe that the decentralization of financial power via cryptocurrency is the way forward for a more balanced world with more accountability.
