Then it's an opportunity for those willing to get strong.

We can figure out how to live on less money, educate our children (and ourselves), produce and create instead of waiting to be entertained. We can trust God, be faithful and moral, have joy and peace.

This is how Americans grew strong. We grew weak and fat while our economy was strong.

We can get strong through trials again. It's in our blood.

Not this time bro. That was not underneath the boot of tyranny.

Rome was tyrannical and it fell. We have much more than those under the Romans.

I was the first time.

Then he talked about tyranny, so I said what came to mind about rising from tyranny.

More recently, Hungary was under communist rule and has become a very strong, conservative nation.

Luckily for Hungarians, the Soviets didn't flood E. Europe with migrants to erode their culture and history.

Many of the immigrants are coming for the same reasons we like it here. We make conservatives out of them.

An economic depression will be the only thing that makes people willing to make a move. Right now, things aren't bad enough. Most people can get SOME work. Most people will be able to eat tonight. There is no reason to risk what you have if it's sufficient. A deep depression is when your very survival is threatened. Only then will people be serious about change. The elites know this. That's why they will do whatever is necessary to maintain a status quo and prevent economic collapse.

Correct. They'll ask for everything in return for UBI.

And when people are cold, hungry, and poor enough that will seem like an okay deal.

The Covid Depression made 2008 look like child's play.

I think TPTB are artificially keeping it up until the 20th. Then all bets are off.

The big fish are pumping it up right now and getting the newbs to put their $600 in. Then they’ll dump it and leave the peons holding bags.

Bitcoin is weird. Goes up on good biden news, down on bad. Also something strange with lightcoin or lumen or something (dont follow it that closely) huge rally after Ukraine made it official crypto, thats really weird, Ukraine is a clearing house for dirty US government grift. I would not use bitcoin to hedge however, metals are still where it ultimately is at.

Won't be able to buy anything with bitcoin when whole world is 3rd world and the remnants of civilization is 1984 on steroids.

Or just the darknet is all you need bitcoin for then ok
