Could it be that Bitcoin is an investment opportunity, but also the first test of a one world currency?

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Well I know some people will be familiar with the front page of this magazine. Infact I went searching and saw the cover here already on steemit but after my younger brother Ben Martin inboxed me and said have you seen this. Now what comes next in this post is exactly what my brother posted on his Facebook wall and I was pretty intrigued that this was actually his own interpretation. You can Google the edition of the magazine and find it posted in quite a few places but I know 30 years back personally when my sister and i at the age of 12 and 11 believe it or not looked into the possibility of a one world currency.

I would love to to hear your thought on this one and below is what he wrote after looking at it"

Anyone know what this is?

I'll tell you. It's a 1988 edition of the Economist Magazine. Tell me what you notice in the comment section about it.

-Look at the coin around the neck
-Look at the date on the coin
-Look at what is on fire

Take the first sentence... "Can Britain Keep Booming?"Play around with the letters and you can spell the word...BITCOIN!

Take the second sentence... "Takeshita comes to town."Play around with the letters and you can spell the word...SATOSHI!

Take the word Investment from the third sentence. And take the words first test from the last sentence.

All together we have the message...BITCOIN... SATOSHI... INVESTMENT... FIRST TEST!

I guess you can never rule out a conspiracy. I keep thinking despite all the fear they spread it could just be what the 'powers to be' want. The only question is how will they be able to control a decentralised system?

well i know it is not a popular view that people want to see but we can see whats happening to the value of the dollar. Im in the UK so right now anything i buy in dollars is getting cheaper and its had a slide down from March 2017 its on a set up to crash obviously. I cant see these the people who control the banking system hanging about to see people break free from their slavery system so my thinking is make it whilst you can maybe then buy silver which as an asset is so manipulated but in reality worth alot more than what we are told. hey im no expert but they been planning a world currency at least what I know of for 30 years so who knows the real truth there is so much happening behind close door than is revealed. Have to say though i love the way the eco sytem works here i believe steemit has a great chance to rise and its down to us to help each other to get there. Thank you for your vote im very new and its very encouraging thank you @geenaizzy

Same here man, got a bit of crypto and a little silver and intend to wait it out. Also Steem might stay an insignificant platform but it may also rise to mainstream I guess it's up to us where this goes. And yeah, you're welcome, I always try to follow and upvote good content. :)

This is interesting....I'm not sure I believe that it is anything more than a coincidence, but it could be.

always good to be prepared and open minded. I have delved into the subject a bit more and I think we are in for a bit of battle. Theres more of us though if we all came together like people are here we could change the future, lack of knowledge is always the downfall of man. Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

I totally agree about being informed and open minded! I also agree that there are some really tough times ahead and knowledge is suPer important!

Grand Conspiracy or not, those who have the power and position with only their interest in mind at the expense of others, will never pass up a perfect opportunity. Rest assure that its at least being tried.

totally agree and ive added you to my follow list. thanks for commenting here. i see you been here a year now so might learn a few things :)

Interesting thoughts

for the answer you must go back to the roots of bitcoin, who was the group around Satoshi Nakamoto?
But there is all in the dark, no clear facts, nothing...
For sure Bitcoin is a great thing for any conspiracy theory, but bitcoin failed already, too expensive in mining, too high fees and much too slow in transactions.
And the elite, including the bankers just woke up and realized cryptos can be very dangerous for them.
Anyway, exciting times....
heard about Hashgraph already? This could be our future...

Bitcoin is the slow and steady that's going to win the crypto race. One day very soon a hardfork is going to come along that's going to make BTC do everything all the other cryptos do and more.

The other cryptos have their purposes now, such as Ether in regards to smart contracts, but none of them have nearly the network or public awareness of BTC.

Truth be told, BTC doesn't need to be updated quite yet, as public awareness still hasn't caught up with it as it is. Even if BTC did microtransactions, the public at large wouldn't adopt it yet simply because they don't have the proper motivation to learn something new. Mark my words, though, when the public is ready, BTC will be ready for them, too.

@zanoni I agree with your statement there. i have heard a tiny bit about hashgraph but I don't know very much always willing to learn so I will check that out. How things going over there? :)

Hi Clive, here is all as usual, busy, busy on Steemit, hehehe...
Have a great day
Tom

I always love to hear a great theory. If I am paranoid that still doesn't mean that someone isn't following me

A very interesting subject indeed .Also with yourself @clivemartin you must be what is called **A very early Adopter ** just for taking an interest in it . So with that being the case it is a real shame that perhaps you did not invest 6,7 or even 8 years back but really it is probably a case of what business minded men & women you knew with the knowledge at the time .
With the question of it becoming a world currency is ,can the world governments firstly all get on **(Well South & North Korea are talking ) & secondly if it is decentralised how would they all manage there .

I don't want to rain on your parade, but to show evidence of an anagram or cipher it either has to use all the letters or have some kind of pattern to it. By these standards, you could find references to BTC in just about any anything.

I can see your just new here how you doing. Yeah thanks for your comment the post is meant to create thought :)
