1/4 The Book of Revelations was written in Greek in the symbolic language of mysticism. The word "ἡ φρην" in English means "the fren" or "lower mind" or "lower manas" and has the Qabbalistic numerical value of 666. The names of the antichrist also have the same 2/4 numerical value of 666. So the number of the beast is symbolic of material man in his animal/beast state which exists in lower mind/manas. The opposite, christ, is spiritual man existing in higher mind/manas. We are either descending to the level of antichrist or ascending

1/8 Some are saying the USD cannot be replaced as the primary global reserve currency because there isn't another currency that has deep enough liquidity and a large enough percentage of the daily FX to do so. But this misses the obvious fact that no one nation wants to displace 2/8 the dollar in that dominant role. Triffin Paradox means they would run a trade deficit. In the coming age of commodity currencies, no one wants to run trade deficits. The world is not looking at a USD replacement with a single alternative currency but the replacement of the

1/22 The geopolitical landscape is changing at a fast pace. Along with this transformation, the global monetary framework is adapting. I've been steadfast in support of the stated @Ripple mission & the $XRP digital asset since 2017. Though my support remains there 🧵⬇️ 2/22 are concerns that need to be expressed as I feel the window for the success of this mission is closing quickly or may have already closed. Allow me to explain. Brezinski's Grand Chessboard strategy for American dominance was built around a policy of keeping the major ⬇️

1/5 For shared awareness - Over the last 24 hours I’ve been on the Stability Pool tool within the #FlareLoans product. I staked $CAND in the pool to earn $SFIN rewards and $SGB liquidation rewards. The $SFIN rewards are quite good but you have to claim them quickly, as over 2/5 the 24 hours my pool completely dumped its $CAND six times. During that dump the $CAND is replaced with $SGB for withdrawal. But each time my pool positioned dumped its $CAND the offset liquidation reward in $SGB was always worth just a little less. If $SFIN wasn’t withdrawn

There's always a lot of talk about an economic and financial crash. While there are a few who think everything will keep going up, I think we are going to see a mix of both. Allow me to explain. It appears #Crypto is heading towards a market cycle top with a full fib extension. This is likely to happen sometime between now & spring. There is also a lot of analysis that supports full fib extensions and market cycle tops for the #NASDAQ and the #DowJones at the same time. This is based on a fib cycle start for the NASDAQ in March of 2000 with the #Dotcom

We do not live in a world of facts. We live in a world of narratives. Narratives are designed to engage us on an emotional level. These narratives are also almost always built around two opposing dialectics. The world is both directly & indirectly/intentionally & unintentionally managed through opposing narratives of varying contexts, be they political, religious, cultural, socioeconomic, anthropological, scientific, etc. The human mind opposes itself & as such externalizes endless emotional narrative dialectics. It's woven into our very existence. So

There's a lot of speculation around me stepping back from supporting @CasinoCoin. Everyone needs to keep in mind that I did not work for CasinoCoin and there could be a lot of different reasons for stepping back. Whether there was something bad or not, I would not say so because it's not my place to communicate such things and I'm not interested in crypto drama. The truth is I'm extremely busy with my regular career and if my own priorities and timelines don't align with a project's priorities and timelines, then I will step back. @QuadJacksCSC was kind

1/8 Someone needs to hear this right now. Especially if you’re new to crypto. No one knows what this market will do. Least of all anonymous online personalities. Crypto is a new asset class and is going through dramatic birth pains. There will be more. But understand that there 2/8 are varying levels of crypto. Some are designed for institutional use, while others are for pure speculation and fun. All want to be taken serious. Not all will be. And there is everything in between. We are moving through the total speculation phase of the market and into a

1/9 Why did the German mark in the Weimar Republic hyper-inflate? Why hasn’t the USD hyper-inflated? The obvious reason is the USD is used globally. The mark wasn’t. But it’s not that simple and those seemingly opposing facts tell us something very important about the developing 2/9 relationship between fiat currency and cryptocurrency. A money supply can grow and it will have an organic supply and demand influence on the value of that currency. But value compared to what? Herein lays the answer. The German mark didn’t hyper-inflate because so much was

1/10 John Searle in his seminal work The Construction of Social Reality posited the idea that there was no objectionable reality within human social constructs but only institutional reality, such as money as a human institution. Money has value, or is an institutional construct, 2/10 because we all collectively agree that it does, and is. The institutional construct of money has always changed. Narratives that move mass institutional awareness are often weaved years and decades in advance of institutional acceptance. This is an organic process which

Excellent question which doesn't have a simple answer. Deflation is a decrease in the price of goods and services, which is in turn an increase in the value of currency. Opposite holds true for inflation. When looked at as a financial asset, XRP has a decreasing supply @IotReevolution @Crypto_Bastiat @Radiog3nic @KennedyPattiso1 @BakkupBradley @digitalassetbuy @DigitalNomadInv 2/10
and presumably an increasing rate of adoption. Through basic supply and demand principles this will lead to increased valuations for XRP. As a straight bridge asset exchanging value between other currencies and assets, the increasing valuations, and subsequent
