Paranoid interpretations of plans is not to be confused with "the plans". Unless you re referring to verifiable (with facts and a coherent explanation) corrupt governments what governments tend to do is help make commerce and trade more efficient.

Same with your fellow millionare and billionaire Democrats.
Millionaire Billionaire etc democrats aren't trying to get taxes on the rich reduced at the expense of the poor that money provides for.
In my opinion.

Wait a second...
1. Foo Fighters played Biden's inauguration.
2. Foo Fighters just released a movie about demons called "Studio 666."
My various Gods, it's all true!

Does it trouble you that the minting of money has never been decentralized at any point in history?
Yep. Satan pays his minions with Bitcoin ─ as no doubt Trump can affirm.
And Mar a Lago is the place to go for real Foo planes.
The system leads to that a few have control of the many over time.
I am no expert on the financial system but i suppose there is a limit to debt + interest. Can´t see how that can continue forever.
So the only way for those in power to remain in control and keep their wealth after the mother of all crashes is to create a prison planet where everyone is afraid to protest when their incomes are halved.

Welcome to RF
Nice starting topic
That is also my concern. I don't believe there is only 1 "Xi" living on earth. With power and money greedy rich elite, such a system will be abused. And indeed the rich elite did prove your point

I just found out that I am Aunt Heathen. I don't love you just for your money. I love your red, bulbous clown nose and little hat.

As I said to a colleague who was all up in arms about the requirement for federal background checks for our research project: You're only upset because you cling to the notion that you have any privacy left.
If I may quote a Don Henley song from more than 20 years ago: "They know the road by which you came / they know your mother's maiden name / what you had for breakfast, what you've hidden in the mattress."
IMHO, it's not worth getting excited about. And by the way, NEVER use your mother's maiden name as a password.
Edited to add: Also, I think the whole literal 666 / Mark of the Beast thing is [edit] a wildly inaccurate interpretation.

That's how the system of money making started out as.
The earliest coins were minted by Middle Eastern kings like Croisus.
The limit to debt is the wealth that can be created, because debt is really just wealth owed to someone else. The fascinating thing about our modern system of finance is that it can readily create "wealth" (in the form of valuable stocks, bonds etc.) out of nothing.

I guess you would call an oligopoly "decentralized". I wouldn't.

Nope. I'd call alternative currencies decentralized. Up to the 19th century with it's nation states and use of paper money it was quite usual that local rulers or single cities had their own mints. In times of crisis there were alternative currencies, precious metals, cigarettes, bottle caps. And then there are Local currency - Wikipedia.

And in order to do any kind of trade with the outside world, they had to rely on a centrally controlled currency, such as the US dollar.
Also, note how most of the examples of local currency Wikipedia lists are from the industrial or post-industrial era: Before the invention of paper money, minting relied on a supply of precious metal, whose logistics were almost entirely in the hands of large, centralized military powers such as the Abbasid Caliphate, the Byzantine Empire, or the Chinese Empire. Even in more locally-oriented economies such as the Holy Roman Empire, it was the electors and imperial princes who had a grip on the local money supply - not local communities, and certainly not the common people.
Currency as we know it today was developed to faciliate international trade - local communities generally do not need precious metals to keep track of who owes what to everyone; a local register suffices - and international trade has always been the domain of the few and the powerful.

Interesting. And how are they my leaders? I've never sang their praises nor pledged my loyalty to them. Never regarded them as heroic, infallible, or virtuous. I've always placed principles before partisanship.
I can see how this might confuse and blow the minds of Trump supporters, though.
