    Cryptocurrency are only prototypes for a complete Digital Money System, i.e. for the later Digital Money (CDBC).

    Cross border payments - a vision for the future.
    Bank of International Settlements spokesperson speaks about their plans.

    Crypto first of all is not a currency but are commodities.
    Commodity transactions are inherently relatively risky.
    A currency has a much greater stability, both upwards and downwards, because one or more governments stand behind the currency.
    Of course, this has the disadvantage of control by states, but on the other hand also the advantage of control by states.

    Some people who have lost a fortune in recent years and hated control by states would now be happy about state intervention.
    However, one cannot have everything at the same time: An uncontrolled Commodity exchange with unknown people and a state-guaranteed currency.

    There is one consolation in every decision concerning money: The money is not gone, it is now only owned by another one!

    One lesson learned from losses should be that one should only invest in financial transactios that one fully understands and whose opportunities and risks one can happily accept and bear.

    But there is still greed...

    Blockchain technology is likely to continue evolving, with ups and downs in its market value. While the hype may fluctuate, its core principles—security, transparency, and decentralization—offer long-term potential. It may not fade into obscurity, but its adoption could be gradual, with slow and steady growth driven by real-world use cases. Regulatory developments and technological advancements will be key factors in shaping its future, but it’s possible that blockchain could appreciate over time, much like it has in the last decade.

    Eugene Fam (father of modern financial theory) says: In ten years, cryptocurrency will be worthless.

    There is no tangible or intangible value behind a cryptocurrency, so its value is measured solely by how much investors are willing to pay for it. Furthermore, there is no state regulation for cryptocurrencies, no deposit protection, etc. Cryptocurrencies are therefore fundamentally different from digital central bank money.

    it's perfect for all kinds of illegal transaction purposes. it's ok for the people making money from it. everyone else is basically gambling on speculation. Most people have never actually bought anything with it, even if they have it. then there is the environmental damage it causes.

    Pastor Jackson said Bitcoin is the spawn of Satan and we should give it to him so he can cleanse it of evil with holy water.

    I've recently taken a rather large position in BiteKoin, the only digital currency endorsed by the American Dental Association, and the AGAB (Association of Greedy Ass Bankers).

    The sky is the limit and we are working on technology to pierce the sky, and proceed to the infinite.
    Our BiteKoin is certified 100% digital and is composed of pure gold,silver and platinum electrons. Our pedigree is without peer.

    My team is securing funding soon through a select group of funders via GoFundMe, and hope to have opportunities for small and medium sized investors to acquire, means of acquisition, of this premiere digital currency. This is not to be considered investment advice or an offer, merely more information for the savvy digital currency afficiando to understand this many layered investment vehicle for the 21st century.

    Only BIteKoin will have premium coupons that allow you to collect them and trade them for all the wonderful items in our BiteKoin Katalog, such as the Kristin Diore Outdoor Leisure Seating Group (formerly patio furniture) including the chaise lounge with built in laser cigarette lighter and ashtray, the folding aluminium side chair, and the sturdy hurricane proof umberella and solar weeny roaster.

    Its not just an investment, its a lifestyle.

    Its the future of currency, it's the currency of the future...


    don't be left behind....


    BiteKoin, you know its on the tip of your tongue...

    I loved "Lord of the Rings" - Pastor Jackson is quite a Director as well. Truly a talent to be cherished via movie tickets or bitcoins, whatever those are..

    Currency has no intrinsic value at all.

    Only precious metals such as gold and silver have value in themselves.
    With a wheelbarrow of paper money you can certainly use your oven for a day to warm yourself.

    With a bottle of whiskey you can get a sack of potatoes from the farmer in the event of a crisis, cigarettes are also suitable for bartering. Buy fruit and vegetable seeds so you can plant something.

    A manual on farming and livestock farming as well as a manual on how to make music when the power goes out is also certainly useful. Investing in a power generator is a good purchase. Remember that prayer is nice and important for some people, but if you believe that God will come down from heaven and give you something to eat, you are wrong.

    Those who will overcome a crisis are those who have either made provisions or who use their brain Brain.exe effectively and act.

    The AI Chat Bot responded promptly, according to its programming:

    Brain.exe is a symbol for “switching on your brain” when using your PC and the Internet.
    This includes not carelessly clicking on everything that comes under your mouse pointer.
