LOL

I tried TWICE to explain to you. I can't paint a picture for you on a substack post. Maybe try to imagine this: You boot up your computer, or try to use your card... NO ACCESS.

Can you understand how easy it is to just CUT PEOPLE OFF?

The tech people can just deny your ability to log on, even. Get it now?

I'm not disagreeing that it is theoretically possible for internet providers to block cryptocurrency transactions and effectively crash the network.

I'm disagreeing with your claim that cash is a solution to our monetary problem.

You keep coming back and I don't know why.

I NEVER "claimed" that cash is a SOLUTION to our monetary problem. The solution is obviously complex, so I'm not even going there. CASH MIGHT BE ONE SOLUTION, used in a very local way. This is not MY idea.

I suggest you find two people that are easy to find and listen to THEM:

*Catherine Austin-Fitts, Solari Report

*Edward Dowd

*Anybody who understands money, technology, and Evil.

I'm not interested in going over and over and over some very simple ideas, such as

LOCAL, COMMUNITY BANKING

LOCAL, COMMUNITY MONETARY SYSTEMS - could be cash, could be ANYTHING, could be BARTER...

GETTING OFFLINE with your financial because it is very very EASY TO CUT OFF ACCESS-- IF YOU CAN'T GET TO YOUR BITCOIN, all your Bitcoin value means nothing, nada, zip. Can you understand that???? You don't seem to have the ability to imagine how easy it would be to coerce you to do what you're told, ie, get the jab, or get a chip in your arm, or whatever, in order to have ACCESS to your money. I have no easier way to explain this. Ask SOMEBODY ELSE.

I'm aware of the possibility of effectively blocking crypto. You are imagining I am not.

You are wrong that money can be anything, there are requirements for a medium of exchange. How about reading Menger sometime. I know you haven't.

As long as the khabbal isn't using tyranny to block it, cryptos remain a viable and useful tool for transactions.

Getting away from fiat currency should be our goal. The fiat currencies are the trap. Exchanging it 'locally' is no solution.
