A very well-organized attack on #Bitcoin coordinated and organized by well-funded informal groups representing the global banking oligopoly. #Core vs #Knots is just one of the many attack vectors. And yet, Bitcoin is only 10% down and starting to recover. This is impressive.
I have always advised inexperienced would-be millionaires to stop engaging in so-called "trading". It is a fishing net for the small fish. Margin trading is a marked-up game because you are playing against a player who can print an unlimited amount of money to bail himself out when the market goes against him. The small fish can never compete with such a player. Stop playing their game!
Sometimes when I'm in a good mood what I do is poking fun at bankers and legacy finance folks that I've started seeing on different forums. Financial advisers that were so good at their jobs that they never saw how well #Bitcoin would do. For some reason their government required certifications did not include looking into things outside of their bubble. And instead of recognizing a potential new technology, they attack it because they need to protect their old system (after all, they did invest a lot of time in those classes and certs).

"Now Is the Time of Monsters"
by Jeff Thomas
In ancient Rome, interregnum was the term given to the period between stable governments when anything untoward might occur, and sometimes did – civil unrest, warfare between warlords, power vacuums and, finally, succession wars. But eventually the dust would settle and the victors, whoever they might be, would at some point restabilise the empire, often with a new map, showing the latest lines of geographic possession.
In 1929, the Italian Antonio Gramsci was in a fascist prison, writing about what he considered to be a new interregnum – a Europe that was tearing itself apart. He anticipated civil unrest, war between nations and repeated changes in the lines of geographic possession.
At that time, he was attributed as saying, "The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters."
And, of course, looking back from our vantage point in the twenty-first century, we have no difficulty in confirming that he was correct in his prognosis. The world war that followed brought forward the worst traits in mankind. The sociopaths of the world came centre-stage. By the time the dust had settled, tens of millions were dead.
What we do have difficulty with is recognizing that the same pattern is again with us. National leaders and their advisors are spoiling for war, building up weaponry, creating senseless proxy wars in other nations’ backyards and playing a dangerous game of "chicken" with other major powers.
This will not end well. It never does. Once the shoving-match has begun, it only escalates. At some point, whether it’s the false-flag assassination of an Archduke, as in World War I, or the false flag attack on Germany by Poland, as in World War II, we can always count on some excuse being created to justify diving headlong into war.
It’s also true that, when empires get into economic trouble that’s too far gone for any viable solution, a trick that’s always employed by political leaders to keep the citizens from removing them from their seats of power, is to start a war. A people will, if they believe their homeland is in peril, accept the "temporary" removal of their freedoms.
Even in the United States, the famed "Land of the Free," political leaders have routinely imprisoned dissidents in times of warfare. People tend to get behind their leaders in wartime, no matter how undeserved that loyalty might be.
And so, now is the time of monsters, as Mr. Gramsci rightly stated. A time of uncertainty, when countries are in turmoil and would-be leaders are jostling for power with existing leaders. An interregnum.
Troubled times tend to bring out all the crazies – all the sociopathic-types that would find it hard to succeed in stable, prosperous times.
In such times, the average person becomes worried that things are not going to turn out well. That’s perfectly understandable. Unfortunately, most people lack both the imagination and the courage to cope with how the times are impacting their lives. They instead rely on others to provide a torch that might help them escape from the darkness.

#Bitcoin is the torch that might help people escape from the darkness. Defund the warmongers, buy bitcoins!
Pretending that the US is a benevolent peace broker between Ukraine and Russia just doesn't work. Hence the key strategy of exculpation is simple. Once you see through the rather silly mainstream media group-therapy jargon and war time propaganda, it is the Ukrainians that get the blame for the US not winning its war against Russia, in their country and over their dead bodies.
