BRICS want to build a gold-backed currency but they have no idea how From "Russia and China are taking concrete steps to reduce Western influence over global gold markets, signalling a broader move towards monetary self-reliance and the redomiciliation of gold reserves away from traditional Western centres. Russia is preparing to launch its own gold exchange, independent of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), which has dominated international price-setting since the early 20th century. According to officials, trading on the new Russian platform will be based on physical bullion, with participation open to BRICS member states." So what's the plan, cut out the West from buying gold reducing demand, gold demand that you need to monetize your BRICS gold backed currency? The new players might be even worse than the old players. #bitcoin #gold #economy #thoughts

They're going to print for a UBI because there will be no alternative. And Bitcoin will explode too. #bitcoin #ubi #economy

There's nothing that brings more freedom, happiness and beauty then hearing this (Arthur Russell in general): The first time I heard Arthur Russell I thought it was disgusting. I was in a weird niche-like/kind of pretentious music festival in Coimbra in Portugal (Portugal sometimes has this kind of "pretentious art" circles sometimes, most likely because of state money, pretentious leftists associations, etc), and they played a Arthur Russell documentary. I was like what's this shit? I was pretty high on weed at the moment too (and feeling anxious and out of place). Half finished music, fake artsy pantsy / State subsidized (ahah) people music. Really? Are these people listening to this? This is what I do in my bedroom and my friends too". Then I dug more into it because there was a particular riff that captured my attention... and eventually found a guy with a lot of talent and beauty just trying to be himself. It redefined what I thought music and thus life by extension can be. It can be much more different then what I thought it can be (was kind of the lesson). And that's perfectly fine too. It opened my mind. I's always the simplest things that are the most divine. This is the documentary by the way, can't find it online unfortunately!: And one of my favorites from him (Wild Combinations): #music #philosophy

The alternative to a nihilist and decadent world, is facing it with the extreme opposite of focus and moral idealism. In other words, get out there with the best intentions and presence possible and let the world rip you apart. That's truly the only way. #philosophy

The monetary and economic reset is undergoing. Trump and Ursula announce trade deal: flat 15% tariff on EU goods. The fiat empire is crumbling down and people still think this is yet another trade war. This is a monetary and economic reset. The US fiat exporting model has ended. And the EU is not ready obviously. #economy #politics #news

Through acts of restraint, attained a bliss beyond measure. The fragrance of Dhamma flowers spread in all directions, All defilements subdued — thus became the Buddha. All defilements subdued — thus became the Buddha. Incredible Buddhist inspired song in Sinhala language from Sri Lanka, The world is surprisingly full of beauty sometimes. #music

This is a great piece of video history I would say. An exchange between Trump and Powell. Trump complaining that the costs of some buildings at the FED have increased, asking Powell if they expect more and then... Powell: "Don't expect them (more costs), we're ready for them. We have a little bit of a reserve that we may use." This is such a symbolic exchange. "We have a little bit of a reserve that we may use" is the understatement of history. ahah Central bankers are incredible! #bitcoin #economics
