That said, people who have read my posts will accurately surmise that I think a Centralized Digital Currency is the very face of Evil in this world, especially when that world populated by the kind of evil the Bible tells us about, and the types of people the Founders tried to protect us from.
In the hands of those types of people, the kind that the Founders specifically tried to eradicate from the government they were creating, I fully expect that given a chisel, instead of being used by them to create a wooden sculpture of something beautiful and good, they would use that tool to gouge the eyeball out of the living scull of another human being who was tied to a chair.
Omnipresent surveillance of citizens in the hands of people like that is bad enough, but if that were coupled with total control over any form of exchange, even simple barter, the evil that those people could wreak on mankind is fearful to consider. The East German Stazi with the technology of today, and an unlimited budget to apply it to the concepts of their tyranny.
All this is to explain my wariness for Digital Currencies, but I know enough to consider the differences between a CDB currency and an Electronic Currency, and expect that some digital exchange of wealth could take place between parties that has big advantages.
In that context, I hope there are conservatives out there who DO know about this, and could chime in on this thread to help us better understand this technology and structure.
Using this suggestion by the author as a discussion point. I think this would be both interesting, informative, and beneficial.
Trump, should borrow against Mar a Lago for about $300-$400 million just to prove the value and give them the finger.
Trump also owns 30% in a building that doesn’t have his name on it. His shareis worth about $500m and he can easily sell it back to the other owner if he needs to.
Trump is a billionaire. He will figure it out.
How many truckloads of pennies would it take to bring it in cash?
I would gladly give him money if he needed it. The problem I see is that it is nearly impossible to know exactly whether the funding effort is really one from Trump OR from some scammer - they always pop up and rake off as much as they can before you can say boo!
It’s like you get something in the mail with Trump’s picture and some words on it and you look at the fine print and it’s a beg letter from the damned RNC..... nope.
But the Fiddler on the Roof wasnt a rich man...
I think i would have tried to create a poison pill on the properties and businesses. Take on debt. Let the State try to unravel the ownership with the debt holders. That is the bigger problem than the actual fine. He is being forced to liquidate his businesses in the state. The fine seems miniscule in comparison. Unless i am reading the court order incorrectly. or there really is no court order at all. And maybe they can’t really enforce the action or the fine.
