I figure there is gonna be a fight over who controls the wealth no matter what kind of currency is being used. The next year is going to be even more interesting than this year.

Sure, people can try to control cryptocurrency, but it isn't going to work :-).

I watched the video and it just seems kind of conspiracy theory laden and nutty, with a tinge of "I know what I'm talking about," when I get the impression that they don't. Just gave me a bit of a laugh. I do agree that BTC will continue to only increase in value, that's for sure.

I love conspiracy, alternative views and the nuts and raisins. His video is basically saying hold your coin and don't freak out which I agree! The word conspiracy has been manipulated to the point of being worthless. I've been called a conspiracy theorist and a nut for calling out media and the government colluding and been proven right with a bill that was recently passed removing the checks and balances between the government and the 4th estate. After watching cryptocurrency since 2013 and its explosive growth this year I know for sure that the powers that manipulat fiat currency are not going to allow a new power group to emerge. They will either assimilate cryptocurrency or destroy it....sounds like a conspiracy to me. It's nuts for sure.

I can't understand why it's suddenly considered nuts to suggest that rich men meet in private clubs and discuss their mutual interests over dinner. Or to acknowledge that politians lie. I think that those throwing about the conspiracy theorist labels are either catastrophically naive, or somebody's creature.

What you suggest isn't nuts, however, raiding populations for cheap labor and their natural resources, deploying economic terrorists to weaken nations for takeover is nuts..reaping the profits from bankers wars and the poverty they profit from these old families tend to like gardens....is very dark and there will be an awful price for their lineage to pay.

Yes, I am agreeing with you, and disparaging those who so readily use conspiracy theorist as a perjorative.

Sometimes it's hard for me to see tongue-in-cheek replies, I'm sorry!

For the lurkers

The conspiracy-theory label took form and gained meaning over a period of several years (or longer) in the context of efforts by the CIA, one of the world’s leading experts in psychological warfare, to deflect accusations that officials at the highest levels of American government were complicit in John Kennedy’s murder… “Conspiracy theory” gained currency as a name pushed by the CIA for any and all theories that rejected the official account that Kennedy had been killed by a “lone gunman.” The CIA’s campaign to popularize the term “conspiracy theory” and make conspiracy belief a target of ridicule and hostility must be credited, unfortunately, with being one of the most successful propaganda initiatives of all time. Although most Americans today reject the official (lone gunman) account of the Kennedy assassination, they also have doubts about conspiracy theories and those who believe them. This means the CIA program was successful, for its aim was not to sell the Warren Commission, but to sow uncertainty about the commission’s critics. Today, people are not only uncertain, they have given up ever learning the truth.
