            Bitcoin isn’t a currency or even a cryptocurrency, says France’s central bank governor

            The Independent – Leigh Thomas – December 1, 2017

            “Bitcoin is a speculative asset and people who invest in it do so at their own risk, the Bank of France Governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau warned on Friday after recent volatile trading.”

            “We need to be clear: bitcoin is in no way a currency, or even a cryptocurrency,” Villeroy said in remarks made at a conference in Beijing, according to the Bank of France.”

            “It is a speculative asset. Its value and extreme volatility have no economic basis, and they are nobody’s responsibility. The Bank of France reminds those investing in bitcoin that they do so entirely at their own risk,” he added.

            “Bitcoin hovered around $9,600 in volatile trade on Friday, after tumbling about 15 per cent from an all-time high hit this week as some money managers warned ominously of a bubble and further falls.”

            In no way a currency.
            You would think a central bank governor would know what a currency is.

            Reminds me again of Rickards when he said central banks dont really know what they are doing.

            To the moon with Crypto Wars — Issue No. 4

            Your dose of crypto news and analysis from @BTO and @Goldfinger

            “Are we at the moon now? At the beginning of November, Bitcoin had just recently crossed the US$6,000 mark for the first time. Its price then surged by more than 60% to surpass US$10,000 for the first time ever this past week — a psychological price barrier if anything — and even shot above US$11,000 briefly on Wednesday before retreating. After hitting those highs, it “crashed” — oh no! — to US$9,300 or so, a level that it had just hit for the first time ever on Sunday. So… hardly a crash. The leading crypto is now trading around US$10,900 and has been solidly above US$10,000 for most of the day today, with traders and hodlers likely emboldened by news that Bitcoin futures have received regulatory approval.”

            But you wouldn’t expect them to be honest about it!! Maybe not even to themselves.

            Keiser has said from the point he got involved, bitcoin $3, that it would bring down the banking cabal.
            Comex is part of it.

            There just might be alot of people underestimating bitcoin.

    Rickards has been saying as much for a long time now.
    There are no secrets with bitcoin, but I dont know if that really matters.
    Just pay your taxes on profits, whats the big deal?

    Anyone notice the banks promoting their instant no fee transaction apps?

    Kinda funny, bitcoin was the focus of a “Big Bang” episode I watched last night.

    Does that mark a top? or does that tell every millennial tv brainwashed westerner to buy bitcoin? They sure pointed out bitcoin is valuable.

    One thing for sure, that will ensure that everybody knows about bitcoin now.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the GOP tax bill (all times local):

    4:15 p.m.

    Senate Republicans are steamed toward passage of a $1.4 trillion tax bill, overcoming eleventh-hour hitches in their drive to deliver a major legislative accomplishment to President Donald Trump by Christmas.

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says Republicans “have the votes.”

    One prior holdout, Jeff Flake of Arizona, announced he would support the bill. Another, Susan Collins of-Maine, said on Twitter she was “delighted” she’d won an agreement from leaders to add a $10,000 deduction for local property taxes and was considered all but certain to back the measure.

    With the party controlling the Senate 52-48 and Democrats uniformly opposed, Republicans need 50 votes to win approval for the bill. Vice President Mike Pence would break a tie.

    Doc, who do you like, Buckeyes or Badgers, Auburn or Georgia, Sooners or Froggies, Stanford or USC?
    And Hoosiers or Michigan in basketball?

        I did not attend the Kelly Business School. I prefer the Kinsey Sex Institute, the Folklore Institute, and the Friends of Eigenmann Hall.

          Ok, ………just triple the donation and send it to Doc……..

      Dec 01, 2017 01:25 PM

      BB,I’ll take the buckeyes, Georgia, Sooners, and USC. I’m not a “homer” but I pick Michigan since they’re playing at home and Indiana spent themselves against Duke and Michigan was punched in the mouth by North Carolina. They are not happy campers right now and should come into the game with motivation.

        Agreed Matthew. I have had some of Christopher Dunns book & research pieces for 2 decades now on ancient machining tools and his “Giza Power Plant”.

        He is part of the whole Graham Hancock, John Anthony West, Robert Bauval, Robert Schoch posse. Love it!

      The fellow said the evidence is gone.

      Secrets of the Lost Race: Rene Noorbergen
      Thats just one author. names of others escape me at the moment.

      Its not gone, we know exactly where, which museum,which floor,which room shelf and box.

      For lots of it anyway.

      People have been around alot longer than we are taught in sunday school.

        Dec 02, 2017 02:45 AM

        See a few of the authors listed above. Graham Hancock has quite a bit of research on the previous cultures that we quite intelligent and then were dispersed and the knowledge was fragmented and lost over time. Michael Cremo’s Forbidden Archaelogy and Forbidden History are other thought-provoking research pieces that show how often academia squashes or sweeps under the rug any evidence that gets in the way of their linear narrative or that human culture is much older than 20,000- 40,000 years and actually goes back hundreds of thousands of years.

          Dec 02, 2017 02:53 AM

          I hope that one day people see the evidence.
          Once they do they might start to ponder the meaning.

      Dec 02, 2017 02:41 AM

      Thanks CFS. That video was right in my wheelhouse of interest. The younger host was repackaging a lot of Jordan Maxwell and Zecharia Sitchin and Christopher Dunn and David Hatcher Childress research. Nice!
