The Americans have weaponised money. You think that they are doing good with this? I certainly don't. A couple of years ago, they locked Iran out of international banking - against the wishes of the Europeans. They didn't care - they just acted unilaterally.My interests don't go beyond discussion of decentralised cryptocurrency on AAM.
Really, I didn't realise I was trying to give a list???I'm disappointed. You've left out Iran, Venezuela and Russia.
I see you missed out on the sovereign wealth funds of Norway and Singapore - but lets not try and get in the way of the tar and feathering you're trying to achieve, right? If what you're going on with is correct, why are the Human Rights Foundation supportive of opensource software such as bitcoin?Well Wolfie you have the answer to OP. North Korea, Russia, Venezuela and Iran. Or did you mean states that we can take seriously?
You know, there has been a few posters knocking around here for years with very similar arguments and viewpoints as your good self.
Very true and I've often meant to get up to the big SHMOKE to meet a few of them. Maybe this is the year!!Surely this point applies to your good self also?
Or did you mean states that we can take seriously?
All the evils of this world can be traced back to America and/or US$.
@WolfeTone I'm asking you seriously does this constitute a nation state buying a stake in bitcoin? For your information:I see you missed out on the sovereign wealth funds of Norway and Singapore
That the cults seeks out these irrelevant trivia in its self justification displays a deep seated insecurity. And they are sure right to feel insecure.The Norwegian Government Pension Fund, also known as the Oil Fund, has over $1 trillion in assets, including 1.4% of all global stocks and shares.
Arcane Research analysis data shows that the Norwegian oil fund has 577.6 BTC through its investment in business intelligence firm MicroStrategy. This puts the company’s portfolio in BTC at around $6.3 million. The Norwegian Government Pension Fund has a 1.51% stake in MicroStrategy.
Well done Duke. Wasn't that the whole premise of Wolfie's original post? The assumption was that this type of investment hasn't even started yet? And you say it's very little? I agree. Imagine that bitcoin is now a trillion dollar asset with no offices, no employees, no marketing - no nothing - it's just code.@WolfeTone I'm asking you seriously does this constitute a nation state buying a stake in bitcoin? For your information:

If the above constitutes buying a stake in bitcoin I shudder to think what else it is buying a stake in through its holding of 1.4% of all global stocks and shares.
Can't you understand my despair? I live in dread fear that the cult will uncover that the Pope himself has given bitcoin a blessing through the Vatican's indirect holdings.You can smell the dispair and desperation in your posts, your Dukeness!
Yeah, it's all just a fad, right? That's why these guys have just put $100 million into a blockchain/bitcoin infrastructure company.Can't you understand my despair? I live in dread fear that the cult will uncover that the Pope himself has given bitcoin a blessing through the Vatican's indirect holdings.

You have summarised my ripostes well.You once pined for economists who endorse bitcoin. When some were produced they weren't the 'right type' of economist.
You have propagated the righteousness of the central bankers. But when a central banker gives credence to bitcoin as a SoV, well, its not a SoV that matters its its status as MoE that counts.
And now, if a nation state has acquired bitcoin they are the type of nation states not to be taken seriously.
Misreading me again. I said the irrelevant reference to Norway's very indirect holding of bitcoin as endorsement shows a desperate need for the cultists to seek out endorsement even where non existent. I was not suggesting any dsi on behalf of the Norwegian Oil Fund.Or the type of indirect acquiring of bitcoin is a symptom of 'deep seated insecurity'!
I certainly don't feel out of my depth though @tecate has sensed dispair (sic) and desperation on my part.Do you not recognise how shallow the waters are becoming?
I was not suggesting any dsi on behalf of the Norwegian Oil Fund.
Yeah, I had it on although busy with other stuff so it didn't have my full attention. Saylor has had a series of uncontested interviews on the subject so good to see. I don't think it's thrown out anything new though.@tecate Saylor v Guistra. Did you watch? Great stuff.
But (serious) central banks embracing bitcoin - well that would rattle me
