My job told me there was fraud. I told them my check hasn't come yet. They told me to cash it. It bounced on the 19th. The FedEx d another overnight. Yesterday my bank refused that check that has no magnetic stripe. I spent the whole day there basically, to find out I must try to cash that fake check at Wells Fargo and the job sic agreed to pay the fee for ten dollars of they do.

They spent 120 to FedEx the thing overnight and I asked why they didn't just pay me that money,

The folks I work for I have never met, we were screaming at each other over this.

They won't let me work until I cash their dammm fake check.

Bill Cooper told me their first check that bounced was fraudulent.

My crappy job got all upset when I said so.

Actually they were the first ones to tell me before I even got the first check that it was fraud, but then forced me to cash it anyway.

My bank account was frozen and I will have to get a cashier's check to pay a parking ticket if I can get the fake check cashed from the fake bank of wells fargo which has already robbed me in the past .

This experience yesterday had me contemplating suicide.

Long ago in SF there was graffiti on a wall around Bay Powell that read something like:

When the credit cards are the only way to exist. When they get rid of cash, then the homeless will have no way to exist, and we will all die.

I was highly suspicious of cryptocurrency at the outset. I mean, how can people access their digital wallets when the intel-net goes down? It just doesn't make sense to me, it reeks of A.I., and yes, it seems like another gateway to CBDC.

Count me out.

They stole your money by having the privately owned FED and other private banks give out too much credits, and spending money on warmongering. Now, when the fraud is collapsing, they want to trick you into the fraud of Bitcoin/CBDC:s!

Do not fall for it!

... but did not mention it could be another criminal CIA/NSA operation. Great info. Thanks.

Interesting. I wonder where they got the energy use, water use to mine bitcoin...I've followed the industry since 2016.(late to the party) but those are much higher numbers than what I've read elsewhere...much higher.

We look at history and laugh about things like the Trojan Horse but are we any better? Time will tell...

Looking up the meaning of Satoshi's Nakamoto's name, given how much the powers that be like to hide things in plain sight, is a red flag for me. Living in that country for a bit I can't believe I never thought about looking into that name lol. It's also interesting to look at the timing for Nakamoto's white paper.

I was often poked fun at for being a minimalist when I came back to the states in 2019. I don't need a great deal to be happy. But the more I see where things are headed the more I realize that it will become a necessity.

Thank you, Kitten.

I just wish People would work on removing that dangerous and archaic tool called "money." It is getting so convoluted and confusing that even for Me, who was in banking for a decade and a half, and studied economics deeply, it is confusing and a major headache with crypto. Something to take Us into the crypt?

Such good detective work, kitten. You continue to astound me. I feel like I barely formulated this question in my mind, looking at points that seemed obvious to me, and you filled in all the blanks. It's like learning al Qaeda means 'the database.' They just don't bury things very deep if you know where to dig, and that seems to be a particular talent of yours.

The Bubble Bubble article had this bit that you might find amusing or familiar:

"Merely questioning Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies often triggers a swarm of attacks from cult-like enthusiasts who treat crypto with a near-religious fervor. Rather than engaging in thoughtful discussion, they frequently resort to ad hominem attacks."

If something is complicated convoluted could disappear at the blink of a wink makes one think

Not to Trust Bitcoin.

Bitcoin and AI seem to require lots of electricity!

Why?

There’s no going back unless we face a post apocalyptic event heaven forbid.

Monopoly money 💴 if you in the game you need money! Whatever form it comes in.

1972 removed the Gold standard and goodbye 1 working parent, who could afford a house 1.5 cars

And some vacation.

We got people mining ⛏️ for survival 3 jobs both parents working.

Return to gold standard go retro! Make babies

And F the technology that’s the new utopia.

I know just dreaming but the Amish seem to be

Be healthy and flourishing.

If my 10 year old inside can’t understand it

I ain’t going to trust it!
