"I would love it if someone were able to walk me through how Bitcoin and the like is actually used as money."
You deposit cash to buy bitcoin on an exchange like FTX, and then Sam Bankman-Fried steals your cash and nothing happens to him because he donated so much to Democrat candidates.
The other problem people don't understand that there is three kinds of Bitcoin.
1.) Pristine blocks, mostly found in CHINA ( where they make & have most miners )
2.) Un-Tainted BTC
3.) Tainted BTC
The Pristine is found and NO gov knows you have it, because it was mined by YOU and only you know the KEY, most valuable BTC trades 2x of market; Mostly bought & traded by CHINA-MAFIA aka Triad
Tainted is when the BTC is mixed, or ever suspected to have been used in a black-market activity. There are 100's of 1,000's of flags that FBI&NSA use to 'taint', once you have tainted BTC no legitimate exchange on earth will touch it
Un-Tainted is what most consumers who BUY BTC from coinbase (IRS FRONT) might get
[ Trades at market value ]
Tainted BTC is what most suckers get when they trade with unreliable exchanges or black-markets
[ trades at 10% or less of market, nobody wants it, best if you can unload to a sucker on BINANCE as a P2P transaction ]
Sorry for all these details, I'm a computational physics person and have worked in Cryptography since 1980's, so crypto has always been sort of a passion.
...
Obviously like "GOLD" if you can't hold it, you don't own it; So calling crypto 'wealth' is an oxymoron, its just a number;
One other thing that needs repeating, as probably folks here don't know real storys
BIS released original BTC paper-white in 1997, while SataoshiNSA in 2009;
BITCOIN hash is SHA256 developed by NSA in 1990's, its old and can be cracked
BITCOIN keys are ECDSA-256-k1 elliptic curves, which are NSA developed and have a back-door, like SHA-256
If you believe some Jap guy name satoshi, developed BTC, then you believe the moon is made out of cheese;
Why? BIS&NSA/CIA mostly to study, and watch how it developed in wild; Besides as seen in UKRAINE with FTX/SBF that MASSIVE money laundering via BITCOIN has been done for every franchise the CIA runs, human-blood, slavery, gold, oil, organs, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl all can be traded in Bitcoin, and only they have the back-door keys;
As a side note, if your not sure what it means to be 'just a number', Please read the "LIttle Prince" Written by a famous french philosopher in the book, an Accountant and labelled every star in the universe with a 'number', and he sells the stars, and your number is proof of ownership of that star.
This is exactly same-same how stupid bitcoin is-is, your key is a number, and only you knowing that number, proves you own that star; But like I said, if you can't hold it, you don't own it;

Thank you for all of this very informative and detailed information. I am not surprised at all if Bitcoin is compromised. It's only a matter of time before all of them, even if based on good ideas, do get compromised in every way that they can. I also think the divide between physical ownership and fake capital is becoming too large of a gulf to bridge. In Thailand I notice a great deal of people who, similar to the Amish, seem to deal in small currencies and barter exchanges (eg there's an older guy who cuts rubber trees and farms who comes over sometimes and asks for massages from my husband, who is then paid about half a bottle of Thai whiskey for it). The gap between this and the derivative phantom wealth out there is becoming too large to defend.
I have written much about this subject, on who rules the world;
If you study the deagel-report (rockefeller) on the coming human culling, Thailand will be just fine, with only about a 1% population loss, unlike the USA which is scheduled for a 90% reduction by 2025.

Most of the world will probably go back to barter, its why Schwab say's you will own nothing and be happy; Well they know its coming, but if you live in a rural place and grow your own food, ride a bike, life will really not really change for you, only in the Western citys will cannibalism, & insanity reign until it burns itself out; If you already live nearly off the grid, the coming years will largely be same-same other than internet home delivery, which in the USA is now coming to a halt with the bankruptcy of Yellow-Frieght (cheapest long hauler in USA)
Most of rural ASIA can go back to the farm, where life has always been 'off the grid', in USA people are four generations divorced from the farm, the familys no longer own the farm, there is no where to go; In all of ASIA, everybody still has family that 'owns the farm'.
...
Ok, I will stop now, don't want to depress people;
The entire thing is to survive; Trust your family, trust your farm, trust your gold, trust your water supply and live;
I think in all of ASIA including INDIA, its always been the same +8,000 years a little gold in the pocket allows people to pickup on a moments notice and flee and start over, its why people in CAMBODIA eat a little meal every few hours, there is always food in their tummy they can always flee, much of the world that survives lives this way.
...
The west is going down all the trucks that haul the food to the citys are going to stop, then the cannibalism begins.
...
How many satanic sacrifices? To the last infant on the planet;
Almost all our Billionaries like Gates, SOROS, Murdoch, et-al hate humanity and have a grudge against the world and want it to burn, and think that out of the ashes comes some kind of pedophile utopia where they can all be free to rape infants;
Like I say over&over stay far away from the assholes.
You only need to know one thing about CRYPTO, its like "HOTEL CALIFORNIA"
You can enter, but your CASH can never leave;
...
Lastly, since 2010 almost every criminal on earth has jumped into crypto, because by design, when you rip off the customer ( mt-gox, FTX ,,... ) nobody on earth gives a fuck and the COPS can't do anything ( out of jurisdiction ), like all "CONFIDENCE SCAMS" in history, the loser just takes it in the ass, silently crawls into a corner & weeps, and some serious morons go back to lose more.
If your dumb enough to send people your cash, then you must except your loss.
One ounce silver ingots (coins or bars) currently have a $23 value. That will work fine in the upcoming Mad Max world of CBDC. It’s essentially trading with a twenty dollar bill.
PAYPAL is stealing peoples money all over the world; Just because of their political opposition to globo-homo
PLS know that PAYPAL was created by MUSK&THIEL while MUSK is famous Thiel stays in the SATANIC shadows, He owns Palantir, & Parbiosys ( human vampirism ); Palantir is Clearview which is globo mil facial recognition avail to all dictatorships on earth which runs on a tablet and green/red tells whether a face should be jailed, killed, or let free; ALL LEO on earth are now using CLEARVIEW, it was developed in IRAQ&AFGHAN and led to 1,000's of people to be killed; ( People need to remember that AI is only accurate in the 92% range, which means 8 of every 100 people killed, were probably innocent )
PALANTIR also sells "PRE-CRIME", which is an AI that scrub's all the FREE non-woke internet ( THIS is WHY SUBSTACK exists ) they can predict peoples actions by world-wide open chatter; They don't need to use this on Twitter or Facebook because those users are already 100% mind-controlled;
The eventual goal is that everybody will be mind controlled, but for now Pre-Crime allows them to follow patriot trends and people worldwide that hate their GOV
Lastly, regarding GLOBO-HOMO, all these players like Thiel are all 100% flaming GROOMERS, its who the CIA has been incubating in SV since 1990's via its op inQtel, a CIA VC that only picks HOMO's to be the future OWNERS, which is why today 2023 almost ALL the SV firms in San-Fran are HOMO owned, which allows the CIA to control social-networking;'
Peter Thiel also funded $50M for Sam ALtman's OPEN-AI, now called chatGPT which is 100% HOMO & WOKE. They're trying to make the entire world use this AI for children's education.
Thiel, MUSK, ALTMAN are all products of Paul Grahams "Y Combinator" project ran out of stanford since early 2,000's to GROOM high-school nerds to be HOMO entrepreneurs;
( your probably wondering, is MUSK homo? many think yes that his wives and all are a show, not unlike the michael-jackson marriges, note that Jackson too had children even though he had no interest in sex with adult women )
Junk silver coin. CBDC will create the biggest black market ever. The rule for that will be less complex. Bitcoin will be more complex than cbdc, so most of us will have to deal with cbdc and the black market.
BTW, if the government wants your property ... house, car, etc they will make CBDC the only financial instrument for paying taxes (property , income). When your social credit score is too low to access your funds, you’ll be forced to forfeit all property for nonpayment.
According to the related article from Inside Higher Ed, Mark Tykocinski resigned as president of Thomas Jefferson University and as dean of the university’s medical school, after being outed for “liking” tweets critical of coronavirus vaccines, gender-affirmation surgery and college diversity, equity and inclusion offices.”
***
Amazing what MUSK is doing with his money. He could turn this thing around;
MOLOCH is not going to take this punch, most likely MUSK will find child-porn on his computer;
Like when MUSK did the ROGAN interview and smoked a JOINT, they made his ENTIRE company test weekly for a year ( piss test ); They have the power to destroy, even MUSK;
...
On the other hand, MUSK could be playing good-cop/bad-cop for MOLOCH and positioning himself to be some kind of POTUS in the NWO post 2032; He's certainly playing to his base, just like TRUMP
Because as soon as you enter the realm of BITCOIN you need to ADD 2-4 additional banking layers which any one of them could be WOKE and steal your money, just like PAYPAL who steals your money if they feel you are non-woke.
Almost all internet-banks will not allow you to transfer to-from crypto-exchanges, so you end up having to use credit cards at 20% and service fee's at 20% both directions.
If you want to lose money, by all means masturbate with CRYPTO. If you do lose all your money playing crypto, just remember nobody on earth will help you get your money back, nor will they care.
Important article, and touches on something I talk about a lot (and am planning on talking about again soon) -- be debanked is a death sentence, basically, and "they" are more than willing to use it.
"I would love it if someone were able to walk me through how Bitcoin and the like is actually used as money. Is it transferred to a bank account and then withdrawn as cash? What are the coversion rates involved?"
You can do that (if you can), or you can find a place to do the conversion (usually for a fee - like coinbase), but hopefully you can just find somebody who wants to buy the bitcoin you want to sell at market price.
Mark of the beast, no mark no trade in the market.
When banks can seize anyone’s account for what they like on social media, or what they tweet, we have crossed that line. Mention election fraud, debanked . This is very frightening.
When Trudeaus Canadas tyrant last resort was to seize the truckers bank accounts, at that moment it became perfectly clear. These tyrants will tolerate
Dissidents and rebels to a point. That point is we control all the money and no longer tolerate your
Free speech or desires to challenge the banking cartel.
So what becomes of the trending reality? If big changes are not acted upon we will be ostracized
Left to silver gold barter and it could get strange
Fast.
I never understood crypto but Bilbos Bitch convinced me that seems like a dead end.
Bullets, silver, neighbors, camping gear local farmers maybe Titus would be a great teacher.
I've considered trying to contact that Titus guy I have so many questions for him. There are pockets like that in parts of the USA but it is much more predominant in say Thailand. It's not just the Amish either. For example I noticed that Utah is one of the few US states with native population growth ie babies being born. I've stayed in parts of Mormon country they are very Godly and close communities. One Jack Mormon (that is, incidentally, a Mormon who drinks alcohol) explained that the polygamy of multiple wives still happens out there and that many times children are born without IDs. What they do he told me was usually have 1 or 2 sons with official papers (and maybe one wife with official papers also) and that anything that needed to be done legally was done through their names...
They did say Titus would put up his land line phone number? Titus has 50 acres.
Maybe the survivors will be the Titus”s Amish, mennonites, Mormons, the Seventh Day Adventist here got some good things going. Thailand where you are seems more simple. Test the simple fact is money will be needed. I have lots of questions, in the segment of Titus where he said he was connected to God, the way will be shown. He was going to preach in the city and had bare feet and Faith. I have a prepper friend she’s got list. Hoping it does not come to the mark of the beast. I’d prefer to grow old gracefully. Necessity is the Mother of invention. Funny that the banks set up a system that basically enslaves everyone to their game, yet that’s not good enough, they want your loyal obedience and soul. Covid scam indicating their current mindset. Basically most of us could be found to be enemies of this state. Sad. Silence is not the answer.
Brainstorming, intuition, imagination
Of what IF this happens.
Time to consider that if they can start
Intimidating and doxxing others
Dr Mercola is attempting to help,
Farage, a reasonable voice, I’d like love to see you contact Titus. I pray they leave Titus alone. Sometimes becoming known becomes a danger. As Titus would advise get right with God. Ask the way.
God Bless Amy, thanks for writing and being a source of entertainment, humor and deep thought.
If you go to the YouTube channel Peter posted Titu'ss phone number as a pinned comment. I wonder if the poor guy's phone is ringing off the hook or if people are too shy to call. It could go either way but the video had 6.7 million views last I checked so it got some serious attention.
If I were to go in depth on an interview with him would be curious about a lot of things regarding trading and life. For example I would assume that some horses are gelded as is common throughout the world (stallions can make a lot of trouble). Are cats and dogs neutered and spayed?
There's a lot of conflicting stories regarding especially Amish communities and their general views on medical care. Under what circumstances is it sought and who provides it? Is there a blanket disapproval of vaccinations as some in the alternative community suggest, or is that just hearsay?
Regarding not having electricty what is the spiritual reason for this? Let us suppose that there was an energy source which was completely independant of any grid. What are the viewpoints and teachings regarding this?
How is money viewed and what is its purpose?
I would love to be the poor guy's relationship coach and I pray he finds his way with that. I can envision a lot of potentially interested mates calling, but he clearly is looking for a long haul life partner or claims to be. On what issues is he willing to compromise? I get the not moving to Atlanta part, but this subject has multiple parts. Would he be able to compromise say with a woman who is of deep faith now but who perhaps has a dark past? Would he be able to compromise with a woman raised in some faith who needs him to convert his beliefs to that? Would he be able to compromise with a lady who says "hey I have a great idea! I work on the Internet for a fortune 500 company. We can save up bank out here I just need a little more power." On and on that conversation goes. And of course the biggest questions there become about the fantasy versus the reality of putting in the hard work to make it happen. Rare is the person who really can....
The problem is still the overwhelming KYC in order to convert crypto to cash. Local exchanges in Thailand are greedy with fees if withdrawing THB to a Thai bank account. I tend to use crypto.com just because it's so fast, but fees can be high too. Sell crypto for fiat currency, then withdraw to your homeland bank (US / EUR / GBP) then need to use a third party app like Wise or Revolut to convert GBP or USD to THB before sending to Thai bank account - no need to use the debit cards available via these apps (even higher fees to top up and then again to withdraw at ATM as you will know from using a foreign debit card to withdraw cash in Thailand).
I have had some generous crypto donations from readers of my stack but more so with Monero - the privacy coin, as that is untraceable for the sender and recipient - until of course you use another centralised exchange to convert to whatever token you find is cheapest to send to a private wallet and repeat the steps I mentioned above. *A small exchange with no KYC such as https://tradeogre.com is good for this.
Another site a friend recommended - which I've yet to try - is https://www.bitrefill.com - he said you can pay bills in Thailand with this.
I'm not sure how it can be reversed without a total collapse of the grid underpinning it. In which case chaos would erupt for a time. The thing which makes cash good is that it is widely recognized, highly liquid, and not dependant on many things which can go wrong, including but not limited to loss of electricity making charging the phone and/or the payment processor not available and loss of internet connection doing likewise. That doesn't even begin to dig into banks shutting off customers or other such issues. They seem like first world problems in a way.
For the small businesses I would try to bank off grid in the community and build the infrastructure around those which are supportive of this. These communities need to be built out right now
The most persuasive arguments regarding bitcoin, or any any other form of crypto currency, strongly make the case that such forms of 'money' transfer will be made illegal upon the wide spread adoption of CBDC's.
Gold will also likely, and potentially silver even, also be made illegal once again, with prisoners expected to surrender their own store of gold, maybe silver, to the authorities for a token compliance payment.
Sukwan lives in ASIA, maybe she should explain how free people live on earth, where everybody in ASIA&INDIA&MENA, & South-ASIA buy gold, and they buy with cash and sell with CASH
Only in the western penal colonys do they make it difficult to buy&sell gold bars ( 1gm & up ), never buy jewelry because you lose 20% when you sell it back to the gold-shop, as they only pay you for the weight of gold, not for its form. I think the same can be said for 'coin' the gold buyer doesn't care shape, he only cares purity.
You are correct. Gold is used as near a currency here its value is widely known and there are gold exchanges which have the daily buying and selling price posted in big red digital letters much like gas stations do with their prices. The last time I passed one buying was around 31,500 baht and selling around 29,000 baht. My first husband Oh had a time when he was using credit cards to buy gold (he maxed them out not long before he died) and was then selling to gold shops. The spread on the fees lost in this transaction was really insanely high.
Gold shops also only deal in standard 24 carat gold as all jewelry is made with here. A 10 or 14 carat gold ring such as mine from America is not really worth anything here, as average Thais do not know how to assess its value and even gold shops don't trust the conversion.
In a pinch would it be used as a currency of sorts in Asia? I suspect so. But for day to day I think it's more likely for there to be barter of say food items...
i am no financial wizard .... but i imagine that ALL forms of financial instruments ( cash, crypto, gold, stocks, bonds, etc, etc ) can be destroyed fairly easily by the PTB fairly easily. However, the more "accepted and widely used ones" should survive longer. ( that means i think the "alternatives " , like crypto, are velly risky)
Personally i have invested in 4 million kilos of rice, 4 million cans each of tuna and sardines, and have recruited some of the militia from the same sources as ........(you know who) . Will they be faithful ? hmmmm ? hey, but i give them steak !
Everything is safer (imo) here in thailand, which is why i am here for 30 years.
I tried not telling anyone, but they come anyway :-)
its ok. most end up in the Farang (tourist) areas ....... destined to marry the girl of their dreams and build a beautiful house for her . You can read the daily laments on thai forums .
actually, at the shops the gold ornaments .... and gold "tang" ( 1,5,10 baht gold pieces) are 23 carat gold. ) Bought and sold easily, only a 100 or 200 baht difference between buy and sell price . https://goldpricez.com/th/23k/baht
It's good to know that! I never got into gold too much though Mar kept a few necklaces around in case of emergency. I think that has to do with Oh's insane buying spree near the end of his life creating a lot of attention from some unsavory types. One time brother Tee loaned me his taxi to drive to the store. I wasn't great driving on the left hand side of the road as it is in Thailand and was trying to learn. One coming back from the store a shuttlebus sped in front of us on the dirt road and blocked our path back. About 12 Thai guys jumped out, along with one woman. They demanded money or I would go to jail as farang (and women) are not allowed to drive taxis. I knew they were Thai mafia and had very little money on me but Oh had been strutting around with his gold necklace for several days. In the end they took that and let us go. I sometimes suspected it was a setup by brother Tee to take some of the cut but I never could prove that...
Thanks amy, my point was you really need to do a post to the world and explain how "FREE COUNTRYS" trade GOLD.
Most of the west just assumes that everybody is an inmate in the USA/UK insane asylums where nobody has freedom to buy/sell gold for cash, totally discretionary.
All of the WEST assumes that the entire earth is a mind-prison just like USA/UK and its not, I find much more freedom in CHINA than anywhere in the USA.
Whether it to BUY/SELL gold, or to start a BIZ, its way easier in ASIA
I remember +30 years ago in Shanghai friends had opened Blues-Bars, & Irish bars, open 24/7, no up front costs just do it, ... making money hand over-fist
Same today in KUNMING, young western guys open bars&restaurants in the college area, 24/7 running with no assholes like you find in the USA
Right now in Seattle just to brew beer, as a microbrewer you need $1 Million USD for permits and licenses before you can even turn on the water to flush the toilet.
I observed wild-west capitalism in CHINA +40 years ago; During the same time a child couldn't sell lemonaide in front of their house in MOST USA citys, without a $500 USD license.
In CHINA a person might buy two apples for the price of one and sell them on the street, 2nd day 4, 3rd day 8, in a month that person has their own apple-store
They might not get GOV problems until they have cornered the entire city apple market :)
Wild west capitalism,
In the meantime in USA people do fentanyl, Crack, & meth and live in their own feces on the streets of SEATTLE and everywhere in USA citys, because its all they got is drugs, feces, and the sidewalk
And those who don't turn in their precious metals won't be in the clear as "patriotic" friends, neighbors, and family will be glad to turn them in for a 15 percent "finders" fee.
In Thailand they don't ask for ID at gold exchanges that I've been to (admittedly rare) but do on foreign currency transactions. Much like gun sales in the USA I'm sure that there are ways around it. Their entire purpose is to keep you from finding those way out...
I considered hoarding some crypto against monetary system failure in a personal offline wallet. but the problem is you have to transfer it through some official online processor to use it in transactions unless you sell someone the whole wallet, keys and all.
There are several morals to this story; 1) don't use credit cards, use cash, it's not traceable 2) since only big banks are doing all this nefarious activity, don't use the big banks. Even Mercola is recommending people move to small, local banks or credit unions.
Those who are being debanked are usually givin a period of time to get their money out.
Because it's just another centralized solution not held in your possession, Crypto is also susceptible. One key stroke and its gone.
The traditional forms of protection are the best; gold, silver, food, gardens, livestock land and other natural resources.
Personally I do not trust banks, dollars, crypto or any metals. I trust prepping for the upcoming chaos, far away from 5G.
Get out of big cities, grow organic and build a good fence. Get ready to hide in a bunker! Arm yourselves to the teeth! The nuclear war, or zombies, might be coming! When shot, burn them thoroughly, because they might be self-healing with hydrogel etc. !
It could be too much paranoia from my side, but do ask the Jews, who willingly climbed onto the trains, going to the "working facilities"!
"I would love it if someone were able to walk me through how Bitcoin and the like is actually used as money."

PLS know that PAYPAL was created by MUSK&THIEL while MUSK is famous Thiel stays in the SATANIC shadows, He owns Palantir, & Parbiosys ( human vampirism ); Palantir is Clearview which is globo mil facial recognition avail to all dictatorships on earth which runs on a tablet and green/red tells whether a face should be jailed, killed, or let free; ALL LEO on earth are now using CLEARVIEW, it was developed in IRAQ&AFGHAN and led to 1,000's of people to be killed; ( People need to remember that AI is only accurate in the 92% range, which means 8 of every 100 people killed, were probably innocent )
PALANTIR also sells "PRE-CRIME", which is an AI that scrub's all the FREE non-woke internet ( THIS is WHY SUBSTACK exists ) they can predict peoples actions by world-wide open chatter; They don't need to use this on Twitter or Facebook because those users are already 100% mind-controlled;
The eventual goal is that everybody will be mind controlled, but for now Pre-Crime allows them to follow patriot trends and people worldwide that hate their GOV
Lastly, regarding GLOBO-HOMO, all these players like Thiel are all 100% flaming GROOMERS, its who the CIA has been incubating in SV since 1990's via its op inQtel, a CIA VC that only picks HOMO's to be the future OWNERS, which is why today 2023 almost ALL the SV firms in San-Fran are HOMO owned, which allows the CIA to control social-networking;'
Peter Thiel also funded $50M for Sam ALtman's OPEN-AI, now called chatGPT which is 100% HOMO & WOKE. They're trying to make the entire world use this AI for children's education.
Thiel, MUSK, ALTMAN are all products of Paul Grahams "Y Combinator" project ran out of stanford since early 2,000's to GROOM high-school nerds to be HOMO entrepreneurs;
( your probably wondering, is MUSK homo? many think yes that his wives and all are a show, not unlike the michael-jackson marriges, note that Jackson too had children even though he had no interest in sex with adult women )
Junk silver coin. CBDC will create the biggest black market ever. The rule for that will be less complex. Bitcoin will be more complex than cbdc, so most of us will have to deal with cbdc and the black market.
BTW, if the government wants your property ... house, car, etc they will make CBDC the only financial instrument for paying taxes (property , income). When your social credit score is too low to access your funds, you’ll be forced to forfeit all property for nonpayment.
According to the related article from Inside Higher Ed, Mark Tykocinski resigned as president of Thomas Jefferson University and as dean of the university’s medical school, after being outed for “liking” tweets critical of coronavirus vaccines, gender-affirmation surgery and college diversity, equity and inclusion offices.”

Amazing what MUSK is doing with his money. He could turn this thing around;
MOLOCH is not going to take this punch, most likely MUSK will find child-porn on his computer;
Like when MUSK did the ROGAN interview and smoked a JOINT, they made his ENTIRE company test weekly for a year ( piss test ); They have the power to destroy, even MUSK;
...
On the other hand, MUSK could be playing good-cop/bad-cop for MOLOCH and positioning himself to be some kind of POTUS in the NWO post 2032; He's certainly playing to his base, just like TRUMP
HELL NO
Because as soon as you enter the realm of BITCOIN you need to ADD 2-4 additional banking layers which any one of them could be WOKE and steal your money, just like PAYPAL who steals your money if they feel you are non-woke.
Almost all internet-banks will not allow you to transfer to-from crypto-exchanges, so you end up having to use credit cards at 20% and service fee's at 20% both directions.
If you want to lose money, by all means masturbate with CRYPTO. If you do lose all your money playing crypto, just remember nobody on earth will help you get your money back, nor will they care.
Important article, and touches on something I talk about a lot (and am planning on talking about again soon) -- be debanked is a death sentence, basically, and "they" are more than willing to use it.
"I would love it if someone were able to walk me through how Bitcoin and the like is actually used as money. Is it transferred to a bank account and then withdrawn as cash? What are the coversion rates involved?"
You can do that (if you can), or you can find a place to do the conversion (usually for a fee - like coinbase), but hopefully you can just find somebody who wants to buy the bitcoin you want to sell at market price.
Mark of the beast, no mark no trade in the market.
When banks can seize anyone’s account for what they like on social media, or what they tweet, we have crossed that line. Mention election fraud, debanked . This is very frightening.
When Trudeaus Canadas tyrant last resort was to seize the truckers bank accounts, at that moment it became perfectly clear. These tyrants will tolerate
Dissidents and rebels to a point. That point is we control all the money and no longer tolerate your
Free speech or desires to challenge the banking cartel.
So what becomes of the trending reality? If big changes are not acted upon we will be ostracized
Left to silver gold barter and it could get strange
Fast.
I never understood crypto but Bilbos Bitch convinced me that seems like a dead end.
Bullets, silver, neighbors, camping gear local farmers maybe Titus would be a great teacher.
How does one get by on little to no money? We
May find out.
I've considered trying to contact that Titus guy I have so many questions for him. There are pockets like that in parts of the USA but it is much more predominant in say Thailand. It's not just the Amish either. For example I noticed that Utah is one of the few US states with native population growth ie babies being born. I've stayed in parts of Mormon country they are very Godly and close communities. One Jack Mormon (that is, incidentally, a Mormon who drinks alcohol) explained that the polygamy of multiple wives still happens out there and that many times children are born without IDs. What they do he told me was usually have 1 or 2 sons with official papers (and maybe one wife with official papers also) and that anything that needed to be done legally was done through their names...
Well to be in the world, not of the world.
In the world needs ID like OF the world.
They did say Titus would put up his land line phone number? Titus has 50 acres.
Maybe the survivors will be the Titus”s Amish, mennonites, Mormons, the Seventh Day Adventist here got some good things going. Thailand where you are seems more simple. Test the simple fact is money will be needed. I have lots of questions, in the segment of Titus where he said he was connected to God, the way will be shown. He was going to preach in the city and had bare feet and Faith. I have a prepper friend she’s got list. Hoping it does not come to the mark of the beast. I’d prefer to grow old gracefully. Necessity is the Mother of invention. Funny that the banks set up a system that basically enslaves everyone to their game, yet that’s not good enough, they want your loyal obedience and soul. Covid scam indicating their current mindset. Basically most of us could be found to be enemies of this state. Sad. Silence is not the answer.
Brainstorming, intuition, imagination
Of what IF this happens.
Time to consider that if they can start
Intimidating and doxxing others
Dr Mercola is attempting to help,
Farage, a reasonable voice, I’d like love to see you contact Titus. I pray they leave Titus alone. Sometimes becoming known becomes a danger. As Titus would advise get right with God. Ask the way.
God Bless Amy, thanks for writing and being a source of entertainment, humor and deep thought.
Back to sleep and work and asking
Dear Sweet Lord, what do you want me to do?
If you go to the YouTube channel Peter posted Titu'ss phone number as a pinned comment. I wonder if the poor guy's phone is ringing off the hook or if people are too shy to call. It could go either way but the video had 6.7 million views last I checked so it got some serious attention.
If I were to go in depth on an interview with him would be curious about a lot of things regarding trading and life. For example I would assume that some horses are gelded as is common throughout the world (stallions can make a lot of trouble). Are cats and dogs neutered and spayed?
There's a lot of conflicting stories regarding especially Amish communities and their general views on medical care. Under what circumstances is it sought and who provides it? Is there a blanket disapproval of vaccinations as some in the alternative community suggest, or is that just hearsay?
Regarding not having electricty what is the spiritual reason for this? Let us suppose that there was an energy source which was completely independant of any grid. What are the viewpoints and teachings regarding this?
How is money viewed and what is its purpose?
I would love to be the poor guy's relationship coach and I pray he finds his way with that. I can envision a lot of potentially interested mates calling, but he clearly is looking for a long haul life partner or claims to be. On what issues is he willing to compromise? I get the not moving to Atlanta part, but this subject has multiple parts. Would he be able to compromise say with a woman who is of deep faith now but who perhaps has a dark past? Would he be able to compromise with a woman raised in some faith who needs him to convert his beliefs to that? Would he be able to compromise with a lady who says "hey I have a great idea! I work on the Internet for a fortune 500 company. We can save up bank out here I just need a little more power." On and on that conversation goes. And of course the biggest questions there become about the fantasy versus the reality of putting in the hard work to make it happen. Rare is the person who really can....
6.7 million Wow!! I would think Titus would most likely find an Amish or a Mennonite woman. Someone of that background and deep Faith. Guessing
In any relationship there will be compromise. He’s in it for the long haul
She needs to be too, lots of hard work!
No electricity or hot running water might
Narrow the field of choices.
I’d think Titus will find his match.
And you have some great questions.
Made me chuckle.
Happy Wednesday from a Tuesday morning.
Checked out gab.com ?
I'm Amy Sukwan over there I am on the site...
The problem is still the overwhelming KYC in order to convert crypto to cash. Local exchanges in Thailand are greedy with fees if withdrawing THB to a Thai bank account. I tend to use crypto.com just because it's so fast, but fees can be high too. Sell crypto for fiat currency, then withdraw to your homeland bank (US / EUR / GBP) then need to use a third party app like Wise or Revolut to convert GBP or USD to THB before sending to Thai bank account - no need to use the debit cards available via these apps (even higher fees to top up and then again to withdraw at ATM as you will know from using a foreign debit card to withdraw cash in Thailand).
I have had some generous crypto donations from readers of my stack but more so with Monero - the privacy coin, as that is untraceable for the sender and recipient - until of course you use another centralised exchange to convert to whatever token you find is cheapest to send to a private wallet and repeat the steps I mentioned above. *A small exchange with no KYC such as https://tradeogre.com is good for this.
Another site a friend recommended - which I've yet to try - is https://www.bitrefill.com - he said you can pay bills in Thailand with this.
Here is a piece I wrote on all things crypto - terminology and best security practices: https://open.substack.com/pub/nicholascreed/p/crypto-lessons-learned-and-security?r=16xjwn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Here in the UK they are trying really hard to get rid of cash. Banks are now refusing to accept cash deposits from small businesses.
My window cleaner has a card reader. It's nuts. We have to reverse this.
I'm not sure how it can be reversed without a total collapse of the grid underpinning it. In which case chaos would erupt for a time. The thing which makes cash good is that it is widely recognized, highly liquid, and not dependant on many things which can go wrong, including but not limited to loss of electricity making charging the phone and/or the payment processor not available and loss of internet connection doing likewise. That doesn't even begin to dig into banks shutting off customers or other such issues. They seem like first world problems in a way.
For the small businesses I would try to bank off grid in the community and build the infrastructure around those which are supportive of this. These communities need to be built out right now
Yes I agree.
We need dissident friendly credit unions and we need to go back to cash.
Some interesting and informative information.
The most persuasive arguments regarding bitcoin, or any any other form of crypto currency, strongly make the case that such forms of 'money' transfer will be made illegal upon the wide spread adoption of CBDC's.
Gold will also likely, and potentially silver even, also be made illegal once again, with prisoners expected to surrender their own store of gold, maybe silver, to the authorities for a token compliance payment.
Sukwan lives in ASIA, maybe she should explain how free people live on earth, where everybody in ASIA&INDIA&MENA, & South-ASIA buy gold, and they buy with cash and sell with CASH
Only in the western penal colonys do they make it difficult to buy&sell gold bars ( 1gm & up ), never buy jewelry because you lose 20% when you sell it back to the gold-shop, as they only pay you for the weight of gold, not for its form. I think the same can be said for 'coin' the gold buyer doesn't care shape, he only cares purity.
You are correct. Gold is used as near a currency here its value is widely known and there are gold exchanges which have the daily buying and selling price posted in big red digital letters much like gas stations do with their prices. The last time I passed one buying was around 31,500 baht and selling around 29,000 baht. My first husband Oh had a time when he was using credit cards to buy gold (he maxed them out not long before he died) and was then selling to gold shops. The spread on the fees lost in this transaction was really insanely high.
Gold shops also only deal in standard 24 carat gold as all jewelry is made with here. A 10 or 14 carat gold ring such as mine from America is not really worth anything here, as average Thais do not know how to assess its value and even gold shops don't trust the conversion.
In a pinch would it be used as a currency of sorts in Asia? I suspect so. But for day to day I think it's more likely for there to be barter of say food items...
i am no financial wizard .... but i imagine that ALL forms of financial instruments ( cash, crypto, gold, stocks, bonds, etc, etc ) can be destroyed fairly easily by the PTB fairly easily. However, the more "accepted and widely used ones" should survive longer. ( that means i think the "alternatives " , like crypto, are velly risky)
Personally i have invested in 4 million kilos of rice, 4 million cans each of tuna and sardines, and have recruited some of the militia from the same sources as ........(you know who) . Will they be faithful ? hmmmm ? hey, but i give them steak !
Everything is safer (imo) here in thailand, which is why i am here for 30 years.
I tried not telling anyone, but they come anyway :-)
its ok. most end up in the Farang (tourist) areas ....... destined to marry the girl of their dreams and build a beautiful house for her . You can read the daily laments on thai forums .
actually, at the shops the gold ornaments .... and gold "tang" ( 1,5,10 baht gold pieces) are 23 carat gold. ) Bought and sold easily, only a 100 or 200 baht difference between buy and sell price . https://goldpricez.com/th/23k/baht
It's good to know that! I never got into gold too much though Mar kept a few necklaces around in case of emergency. I think that has to do with Oh's insane buying spree near the end of his life creating a lot of attention from some unsavory types. One time brother Tee loaned me his taxi to drive to the store. I wasn't great driving on the left hand side of the road as it is in Thailand and was trying to learn. One coming back from the store a shuttlebus sped in front of us on the dirt road and blocked our path back. About 12 Thai guys jumped out, along with one woman. They demanded money or I would go to jail as farang (and women) are not allowed to drive taxis. I knew they were Thai mafia and had very little money on me but Oh had been strutting around with his gold necklace for several days. In the end they took that and let us go. I sometimes suspected it was a setup by brother Tee to take some of the cut but I never could prove that...
Thanks amy, my point was you really need to do a post to the world and explain how "FREE COUNTRYS" trade GOLD.
Most of the west just assumes that everybody is an inmate in the USA/UK insane asylums where nobody has freedom to buy/sell gold for cash, totally discretionary.
All of the WEST assumes that the entire earth is a mind-prison just like USA/UK and its not, I find much more freedom in CHINA than anywhere in the USA.
Whether it to BUY/SELL gold, or to start a BIZ, its way easier in ASIA
I remember +30 years ago in Shanghai friends had opened Blues-Bars, & Irish bars, open 24/7, no up front costs just do it, ... making money hand over-fist
Same today in KUNMING, young western guys open bars&restaurants in the college area, 24/7 running with no assholes like you find in the USA
Right now in Seattle just to brew beer, as a microbrewer you need $1 Million USD for permits and licenses before you can even turn on the water to flush the toilet.
I observed wild-west capitalism in CHINA +40 years ago; During the same time a child couldn't sell lemonaide in front of their house in MOST USA citys, without a $500 USD license.
In CHINA a person might buy two apples for the price of one and sell them on the street, 2nd day 4, 3rd day 8, in a month that person has their own apple-store
They might not get GOV problems until they have cornered the entire city apple market :)
Wild west capitalism,
In the meantime in USA people do fentanyl, Crack, & meth and live in their own feces on the streets of SEATTLE and everywhere in USA citys, because its all they got is drugs, feces, and the sidewalk
And those who don't turn in their precious metals won't be in the clear as "patriotic" friends, neighbors, and family will be glad to turn them in for a 15 percent "finders" fee.
When you buy physical gold here in the UK, the gold exchange keeps a record of your identity and the transaction you made.
They already know who has gold.
In Thailand they don't ask for ID at gold exchanges that I've been to (admittedly rare) but do on foreign currency transactions. Much like gun sales in the USA I'm sure that there are ways around it. Their entire purpose is to keep you from finding those way out...
Same in the US. Even pawn shops.
100%.
Something to consider.
I considered hoarding some crypto against monetary system failure in a personal offline wallet. but the problem is you have to transfer it through some official online processor to use it in transactions unless you sell someone the whole wallet, keys and all.
There are several morals to this story; 1) don't use credit cards, use cash, it's not traceable 2) since only big banks are doing all this nefarious activity, don't use the big banks. Even Mercola is recommending people move to small, local banks or credit unions.
Those who are being debanked are usually givin a period of time to get their money out.
Because it's just another centralized solution not held in your possession, Crypto is also susceptible. One key stroke and its gone.
The traditional forms of protection are the best; gold, silver, food, gardens, livestock land and other natural resources.
Personally I do not trust banks, dollars, crypto or any metals. I trust prepping for the upcoming chaos, far away from 5G.
Get out of big cities, grow organic and build a good fence. Get ready to hide in a bunker! Arm yourselves to the teeth! The nuclear war, or zombies, might be coming! When shot, burn them thoroughly, because they might be self-healing with hydrogel etc. !
It could be too much paranoia from my side, but do ask the Jews, who willingly climbed onto the trains, going to the "working facilities"!
