If this merchant uses another bank, the clearing house will take care of turning your units of account into Euros, and vice versa. The European Central Bank requires commercial banks to create li- quidity in the form of bank loans and it is the banks that enrich themselves at the expense of the population. This banking system is in my opinion the scam of the century and is dangerous for the survival of the economy; the debt is growing day by day and make no mistake: the next crisis will be mon- strous. Bitcoin has become the enemy of all governments because it is a dan- ger for the financial elite. The French “La Banque Postale” for example, clo- ses the accounts of all its customers who decide to invest in cryptocurrency. A government can lose control if the people consider that their currency has no value and decide to switch to Bitco- in (I’m talking about Bitcoin because today it represents about 37% of the cryptocurrency dominance, the altco- ins follow Daddy). If the public decides to believe in this new payment system, it could have very serious repercus- sions. When there is money stored in gold or Bitcoin, it shows that the powers are bankrupt and that their money “FIAT” (money decreed by the state) is worth- less. If the cryptos-active increase, all the money supply dries up and settles there. When the money stays on the stock and bond markets, it supports the FIAT currency trade. These markets represent the eco- nomies of the developed countries, so they are artificially high enough to be led to believe that FIAT cur- rencies really have value. Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan says, „Bitco- in is a fraud.” I understand him, after all, Bitcoin is a danger to the banks (by the way, he comes back to these remarks when he is accu- sed of detaining them). But, when Bill Gates says: „If I had Bitcoins, I would sell them,” I find it hard to believe that this guy created Windows while at the same time did not understand Satoshi’s holy book today. I assume that anyone who has read Satoshi cannot say that Bitcoin is simply a volatile in- strument, or that it has no interest or future. Megaphone
