WATCH: Was Bitcoin A Government Operation & Can It Still Be Used To Fight Back?
Former editor of Bitcoin Magazine Mark Goodwin joins Ryan Cristian of TLAV
Long has the origin of Bitcoin been a topic of discussion, debate, and even drawing lines in the sand. The reason for this is largely due to the justifiable concern that the enigmatic “Satoshi Nakomoto” — the pseudonym that we associate with the founding of Bitcoin — might be nothing more than a thin veneer hiding a long-planned government operation. That debate alone has caused major shifts in the blockchain/cryptocurrency communities.
Then there is the next important question to ask: Even if this was started as a government operation (similar to many tools we use to fight back today, such as the internet itself) can it still be used or possibly altered in order to fight back? We cover this and much more today as we dive through the history of Bitcoin, the many ways that it is currently being used by the incoming Trump administration, and what the future may hold down that path.

No, you cant use garbage to fight garbage, and the government is yourself so you are fighting yourself?
“Why Mr. Anderson, Why why why WHY Mr. Anderson”???
Of course it was. Some of us have been saying this quite long ago. But it goes beyond the financial layer:; Blockchain and DLTs in general will be the connective tissue for the exogenous injection of digital pheromones to guide the self-organization of cyborg hiveminds in the morphogenesis of the Global Superorganism.
Why am I always right? I said years ago Bitcoin was a CIA operation to replace the dollar, it failed but they have found other uses for it.
OT
What do folks think about Iraq’s decision to lower the age of consent to 9 ?
Iraq’s was coup d’état overthroned and the Western puppets where put in.
They should invade again and get the pervs out.
To my shame, I am only bilingual.
Please escuse my ignorance..
We think this is a stupid decision maybe it is provocative or to set Islam in a bad light,
IP4 /Internet was a product of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency that boomeranged later big time for Todalitarism, see Youtube, Telegram or X.
Bitcoin is a very traceable unit with little privacy; other like Monero are better. All depend on a functioning Internet.
Sorry, off topic.
Apparently Australia has a ‘crisis of anti semitism’
When you weigh up what’s happened compared with the long, long historical mistreatment, degradation, alienation and exploitation of Australian aborigines, the working class, the unemployed, protesters, and immigrants, it is a storm in a teacup.
6 mio in gas chambers is a storm in a tea cup?
The guys in this talk are so utterly confused. Bitcoin, crypto is a complete psyop on the greed of people thinking they can make wads of money with a bet. These guys get so tangled up at midpoint, how do they not realize they’ve been off-ramped into a muddy ditch. Completely insane. I’d bet crypto is merely a way for the State and Big Boys to hide their black budgets from public scrutiny, and the hugely “wealthy” people in the know. Before the Tulip craze collapses… puff.
softener for cbdc is all.
crypto millionaires make great salespeople.
Are we being played?

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people, but few seem interested in stopping totalitarianism and complete rule by the rich. I guess as long as they think they’re going to get a little something, they’re OK with a dictator and billionaires controlling their lives. I just read where the combined wealth of those sitting at the inauguration was around 1 trillion. I can’t for the life of me figure out why this doesn’t get more of a rise, not just from the general public, but particularly from the alternative media that correctly ascertained that the pandemic was all a scam. It certainly is evident on this site from many commenters. Seems many have changed their tune, true colors coming out. At least for now.
“The fact that the first executive orders may make sense does not justify the transformation of the nation into a tyranny. What the United States needs, but will never get from the trickster Trump, is an end to the effective military rule that has been in place beneath the surface since January of 2001. What Trump is doing is cementing into place the absolute rule, through the White House, of not just the upper middle class, not just the CEOs of major banks and corporations but the absolute rule of a handful of billionaires. Anyone praising this rule by executive orders while ignoring the reality of altering power structures in America, is not helping anyone.”
Back to the future Big AL.
Back to the RULE of Monarchs, Emperors and Lords.
God help us.
(Wherever you are).
To be honest johnny, it really pisses me off.
I don’t blame you Al.
You work hard for forty to fifty years. Pay your taxes. Do the ‘right’ thing, and these $UITURD$ strut in and screw as many people as they can.
Without raising a sweat.
Hope they burn in Hell.
Thank you.
As long as the rich gives ME money, they can do wtf they wanna do with the rest, and you would say the same if you were me, and therefore you are NOT better than me!
Big time. Executive orders are unconstitutional to start and have been a working op of both Parties, in defiance of the job of Congress to make law. Both Parties. Woke, over-amped political correctness of Liberals has delivered the T-Rump as Dictator in chief. Without both Parties ignoring sane policies to serve the needs of Humanity, none of this would be happening. I don’t think they know what they are doing, but are merely acting out their desires with no idea of what will be outcomes. They think we are ignorant, unperceptive clods that will just cave to whatever they come up with. They are wrong. So wrong. And so utterly stupid. That they have persisted this long is truly a breathtaking credit to our humility and trust. Big time for this to end. And their class with it.
Not not minutes after his first day.
Is Bobby Kennedy already confirmed?
Seems to be a transition from Wefism to Trumpism.
What differerence is there between the two ?
Well, first thoughts are that Wefism is sold on a socialist platform, ostensibly for the good of the world whilst benefitting the “stakeholders” In reality, the rich few.
Trumpism is more openly capitalist and is definately unashamedly Americacentric.
Trumpism still benefits the rich few.
For a nation brought up to fear and hate communism, I would suggest Trumpism seems to make sense to “ordinary” Americans over Wefism
One problem is that, having control of the senate means that the checks and balances won’t be there.
We have the same problem in UK where the huge majority of the socialist government mean that the threat of a no confidence vote is vanishingly small.
‘Socialist governments’???
Where?
Is the author suggesting that the state and governmental sector did a wonderful job at protecting and serving the public during the “pandemic”? If only it weren’t for the evil corporations. Who would publish such retarded fucking shite? Oh, Global Research!
Corporations cost a shitload more to ‘operate’ than any government department.
• $15-20 million salaries for CEOs.
• Director’s remuneration.
• Shareholder returns.
• Highly paid IT staff.
• Plush offices.
• Fringe benefits etc.
The article implies:
a) the state should have a monopoly on “healthcare”
b) Trump should enforce such a monopoly
c) the elimination of corporations would have saved us from the “pandemic”
Do you agree with any of the above points?
Here in Australia we have a National health service.
Free medical for pensioners, Folks on low incomes and the unemployed.
It was introduced by a ‘Socialist’ government nearly fifty years ago.
For the most part it works, despite the greed of doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, and especially those in the private medical BU$INE$$$$$$.
The US is a hellhole for poor, sick people.
Trump is a liar, like all salesman. Beware.
And they set up concentration camps!

Police operation underway at Howard Springs following reports of escapees
Sky News Australia
Nov 30, 2021
A police operation is underway in Howard Springs after reports of up to nine people escaped the quarantine facility.
Northern Territory Police have confirmed several people have absconded from the facility which currently houses hundreds of people from patients from Indigenous communities to overseas arrivals.
It follows the escape of a man from Howard Spring last week, which forced a nightclub in Darwin to be locked down as the escapee was located.
Relevance?
The US has the highest prison population in the world. Mainly black, poor whites and Latinos.
Tell me something I don’t know. The Plandemic in Australia was a shameful aberration.
OFFS! I’m not even from the US. I’m actually defending the concepts of Liberty and Due Process, but I can see it’s wasted!
Liberty and Due Process only happens when it suits the $uit$.
The internet wasn’t a Government operation. FFS.
Government, or private entities pushing governments?
Either way the Useless Eaters get screwed. Again.
I’m so old I remember when bitcoin was how to check it was gold.
Snoop dogg at Trumps Inauguration party performance was supported by exodos wallet, and Kraken projected on the wall. one of the biggest Crypto Exchanges and wallets.
Anchorage Digital is a regulated crypto platform that provides institutions with integrated financial services and infrastructure solutions
Trump’s launched a new Crypto coin last week which hit 9 billion in sales. (dump and pump) but normalizing the mega ID verification to have the accounts.
If it is mainstream normal on every T channel shilled by wankers like dogg and trump.
Bitcoin HAS ALWAYS BEEN A Government Operation.
Crypto coin look like a tulip to me, good one day, gone the next.
I remember Catherine Austin Fitts claiming that she saw Bitcoin used in a Swiss city public transportation ticket box as a test currency many years ago. She hasn’t made that claim since, but…
